Fab Freebie: Book Worms Rejoice

***This giveaway is now closed – see who won below!***

So many book-hungry people out there! This giveaway hit its 10,000 cap within 24 hours, so we’re already back with a winner. The lucky worm is… Melissa (who keeps her favorite books in a bedside cabinet, a living room end table, and on a special display shelf in the family room. She believes “all good book nerds have them in all parts of the house!”). Congrats Melissa!

Our book release is officially here! Woo hoo! And we’re celebrating by giving away books this week. But not just our book. Lots o’ books. In fact, some of them will even come signed by some pretty awesome people. Woot! We’ve been gobbling up so many design, decor, and home books lately that we thought it’d be fun to share some of our recent faves from our library. So in addition to a signed copy of our new book, you’ll also be getting copies of the following (marked with an asterisk when signed!):

  • The Things That Matter by Nate Berkus
  • The Handbuilt Home by Ana White*
  • Design*Sponge at Home by Grace Bonney
  • Home by Novogratz by Robert & Cortney Novogratz*
  • Style Me Pretty Weddings by Abby Larson* (which releases next month)
  • Happier at Home by Gretchen Rubin*

BookGiveawaySMP

  • PRIZE: Copies of all of the books shown above, including signatures from us, Gretchen Rubin, Abby Larson, the Novogratzes, and Ana White!
  • TO ENTER: Comment on this post with the words “BOOK ME!” and tell us…
  • BONUS QUESTION: … what special place in your home do you keep your favorite books? Do they get a prime spot on your coffee table? Or do you have a large collection of faves that fill a bookcase somewhere? Maybe your top pick at the moment just lives cozily on your night table?
  • GIVEAWAY CLOSES: Wednesday, Nov 7th at 8pm EST or at 10,000 entries (whichever comes first)
  • NUMBER OF WINNERS: One
  • PRIZE SHIPS: The United States (although we try to wrangle as many international giveaways as possible – more on that here)
  • USUAL STUFF: One entry per e-mail address is permitted. The winner will be selected using random.org and announced on Thursday as an update to this post. That’s right, come right back here on Thursday for the announcement of our winner. Good luck…

Note: We aren’t paid or perked for hosting these giveaways, we just do ‘em to thank you awesome folks for stopping in. See our Giveaway FAQ page for more info.

    BOOK ME! I have books on shelves and on different furniture all over my house. But that’s just because I really love the physicality of books. I guess my favorite books that are favorites because of their actual content are on a shelf in my living room that I look at while watching tv. Hmmm…what’s wrong with this picture?

    they begin on my coffee table or bedside table. after a while, they are either in a bookcase, or “displayed” on a side table or whatever. and, hate to admit it, but it also depends on the color of the spine too, and if it works into whatever design i have going on.

    I keep my very favorite on the nightstand. The rest are in bookcases since I have a 3 yr old and 1 yr old who would like to eat them. Okay…not the 3 yr old but the 1 yr old would. :)

    We LOVE books and they live all over our apartment. Current reads on the bedside table, and favorites have a place of honor in the built-ins in our living room.

    Book me!!! I keep all my books on a bookshelf in the spare room, a bookshelf in the basement, and the “soon to be read” ones go in my nightstand. Currently our spare room bookshelf is in the living room though since we’re converting that room into a master bath (and putting on a 600 sq. ft. addition!)

    I have two spots: Living room coffee table selections are forever rotating (currently: Pantone, the century in color and Amy Sedaris’ Crafts for Poor People), and on the library table a few vintage gems that are always on display (like the 1920’s Carter Girls series). Love, love, love being surrounded by books, and can’t wait to add yours to the ranks!
