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 love my bookshelf corner, I’ve made it a design piece to showcase them all. I am even known to use ones with covers similar to the colors of the room and use them to sit under vases, to showcase them further. People laugh when they realize why I selected it… based on color rather than preference.

    I have a ton of books and magazines (I just cannot let go of those magazines) all over the house. Bookshelves, bedside table, sofa (waiting for TV time which turns into book/magazine time), car (if I’m stuck in traffic), and yes in the bathroom!

    BOOK ME! we are a book loving household, so we have lots of favorite books. all of my fiction lives in the beautiful built-in in the entryway of our 1908 home and the rest of our books are overflowing from the shelves they live on… there are literally piles of books in every room of our house. we are currently getting a bunch of built-ins made (not by us, we are not nearly as handy as you) so that all of our books have special places to live. i can’t wait.

    As a librarian, I have many places that I have books because bookshelves are just not enough. By the bed, in the bathroom, on the coffee table and yes, on many, many bookshelves are some of the places I keep my books. Can’t wait to get your book in the mail (it’s shipping now!) and these books look great too. Would be excited to get them to add to the collection.

    Can’t wait to see you in DC when you come in December!

    We have books everywhere. They usually end up migrating around the house randomly, like a roving herd… We have shelves for them, but they tend to stay there only a short period.
