BOOK ME! I keep my books in my nightstand
Amanda T. says
BOOK ME!
All of my favorite or “pretty” books have a special home on the bookcase my grandpa built that floats in the middle of the room behind my sofa so that everyone can see my beloved beauties. :)
Jennifer says
BOOK ME! We have two 6′ x 6′ bookcases from Ikea (the cube ones), plus we use small bookshelves as bedside tables.
Laura says
Book me! I have a mini-library where I stash all my favorites that aren’t currently being read. The books I’m currently reading are usually scattered throughout the house. Drives my husband crazy… but he married a librarian.
Elizabeth says
“Book Me!” My favorite books I have grouped together by subject-I know, very OCD, but you should group like things together, even if they are book subjects! All of my other books take center stage in our library on oak shelves. They are some of my most prized possesions and I always have two or three that I am reading at once. Congrats on the new book!!!
Anita says
BOOK ME! We keep our favorite books and albums on the shelf of our console table in the entry way.
Hope says
Book Me! We have a wonderful little bedroom turned library in our house, and our (many) books are kept on the amazing floor to ceiling Ikea Billy bookcases. We’d love to add these books to our collection!
Emily says
BOOK ME!
We live in a Frank Lloyd Wright-inspired Sears home that has two waist-high, built-in bookcases with beautiful glass doors. I keep most of my favorite books in there. :)
Emily M says
BOOK ME! On the bookshelf…not very creative!
Lauren says
BOOK ME!
My books live all over! Most are on the bookshelves in my living room, but some pretty favorites stay on the coffee table for eye candy. And whatever I am currently reading stays on my nightstand- which is right now an embarrassingly large stack.
Frank says
book me! all around the apartment
Kristen says
BOOK ME!
I bought my house almost entirely because of the built in original 1930s bookshelves next to the fireplace and the built ins the previous owner built himself in the basement to match the rest of the historic features of the house. I keep one section of basement shelves just for to-reads- and the rest are for my favorite books and games. The built in next to the fireplace is my place for my treasured things- family heirloom teapot, photos, and the books that have meant the most to me or have pretty spines :)
LaTonya says
BOOK ME!! I have one large bookcase where I keep all my books. My favorites remain on an easy-to-reach shelf. I don’t have many coffee table books. This collection will be a great way to start displaying gorgeous books in places other than on a bookshelf!
Rachel Lockyer says
Lately all of the novels I read are on my iPad. I ran out of shelf space so reverted to ebooks! My coffee table always collects a frequently looked at books too.
Jessica says
BOOK ME!
Our favorite books are scattered throughout our home- a few on the night stand, a few worked into the decor on the mantle and the rest on will be going on our new built ins!

Emily F says
BOOK ME!
My current read sits on a shelf above my nightstand. But the rest of the books are on a shelf in the guest room. Until your book arrives – that is!! That sucker is getting a spot on the coffee table!! :) I’m so excited to check the mail when I get home from work! :)

Thanks for a great giveaway!

Lissa says
BOOK ME!! My favorite books end up on a bookshelf in our living room after I have read them so that I can read my faves again and again!!
Christina S. says
BOOK ME!
We have a fantastic 4 seasons room that holds all our best books to be enjoyed on a Saturday morning with a cup of coffee and a fuzzy dog. No matter what the weather is outside, that room is amazing for a good read or conversation.
Shanta Whitaker says
“BOOK ME!” Books are everywhere in my apartment—on chairs, on tables and of course on a bookcase when you first enter my apartment. I love books!!!
peggy says
Book Me! My books live all over the house – on built ins, coffee tables, and of course on the nightstand.
Alex - Old Town Home says
BOOK ME!
It all depends on the type of book. Wendy has a great cooking/recipe collection in our white kitcken hutch. I have a huge collection of baseball books that are kept in our office. We have some great historic Alexandria and Washington DC books that are on our coffee table. But my favorite, the collection of nerdy Star Wars photo books have been relegated to the basement. I assure you, if we win, these will be in a much better location than the basement. :-)
Casey says
BOOK ME!
All of the favorites are kept on a book shelf in the living room where I have quick access. In reality, I have books in almost every room! I may have a slight problem. The introduction of the ereader has greatly helped (or maybe it just hides the problem).
Heather says
BOOK ME!
We have 3 very large bookcases where we keep our books. However, my current read is always on the nightstand, while my husbands current read is always in the bathroom. TMI? Haha! :-)
Marin says
Book me!!
My favorite new place to kep books is the shelf in my five week olds room. I love adding my childhood favorites to his library!
I’d love to have these books to help us keep motivated for our DIY home updates!
Christine says

On display on the coffee table!

Kitty says
BOOK ME!
The most treasured books are the ones that are read frequently and they sit on our coffee table!!
Deborah says
Book me…I have too many books and not enough places to store them. I have my favorites on 2 different book cases. Whatever I’m reading is usually in my hands or in my purse.
Ava says
BOOK ME! My favorite books go on the top shelf of a specific book case.
Tracy says
Book Me!
Being a librarian, I have a huge love of books, but also a huge passion for the mission of libraries, so I get most of my books there and don’t own as many as you would think. However, my small collection does fill a bookshelf in my bedroom. Cookbooks in an end table for evening browsing. Can’t wait to read your book!
Andrea S says
BOOK ME!
Most of our books fill a little built in bookcase in our hallway. We kept several of our favorites out on the coffee table until our little girl discovered her love for books. Now our coffee table is filled with “Llama Llama” books!
Abby DiSalvo says
BOOK ME!! I keep books in my closet out of reach of my 3 year old who thinks he is Picasso. Thanks!!
