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!

    My books are scattered around every room because we’ve got about 10 projects going on right now. I’m usually sitting on the floor flipping through the pages of one while my husband toils away nailing something or painting something (i’m pregnant so he gets to do the heavy lifting at the moment!)

    BOOK ME!! I do have a special place for my favorite books…they’re in an old chest-on-chest that was found in the basement of our first home (in Richmond!). It had been stained that nasty black color but is now restored to its original pine.

    Book Me! I keep my books all over the house. I seriously have them in the living room, bedroom, bathroom, kitchen… I never know when I’ll get a few moment to read something (bath time, waiting for something to boil on the stove, while trying to tune out some show my family is watching). I think I’m reading 3 books at once at the moment.

    BOOK ME!!! I love books and seem to have collections everywhere! Some of my faves are on bookshelves in my living room and on my mantle. I also have current loves on my bedside table… Love Does by Bob Goff and The Moms on Call No-Nonsense Toddler Book (great resource to read, re-read and read again when you have a 2yr old)! Would LOVE to add these beauties to my collections!

    For the books I’m currently reading, I have a little basket I got from Home Goods that I keep under the side table next to my couch. It’s perfect for keeping them handy, but not cluttering up table space.

    I have books everywhere including in a pretty garden planter, haha. I would love to have all these books but I’m pretty biased to yours. To have it signed would be the cherry on top and would have a permanent space on my coffe table!

    Since I’m a huge bookworm (English major/writer) my books are everywhere. Bedside table, bookcases in almost every room, I usually have a couple in my purse… basically, if a book can fit there then I probably keep one there.

    BOOK ME!

    My house is currently filled with my husband’s books! He’s a history fan as well as a comic book fan… so all the book space in our house is pretty much devoted to him. I am usually a fan of library books (hooray for living 1 block from the public library), but I did claim a little corner of the office book shelf for my art books. And the basement is full of kids books for our little guy once he gets bigger/my classroom once I go back to teaching! I’d love to knock some of his obscure history books of the shelf for this great collection… or better yet, keep them right out on the coffee table!!! Either way, can’t wait to pick up a copy of your book soon! Congrats on your HUGE accomplishment!!!

    BOOK ME!! Our tiny apartment has a built in bookshelf in a little “reading nook” (as I like to call it). We go through the books quite regularly to donate/sell ones that we don’t want to keep (and make room for new ones). The ones that matter most always earn their spot back on the shelf! My hubby and I love to read so pairing down our book collection is no easy task. But all 7 of those books would earn a spot on our shelf!
