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.

- 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)

Lauryn Prattes says
BOOK ME! I like to work my books in as part of decor. Under a candle, leaning against a lamp, etc. I love beautiful books!
KJ says
BOOK ME! I love books so much and even have an ICE (in case of emergency) book in the glove compartment of my car.
Reshma Sanjeev says
BOOK ME!!! I love anything about DIY and Home design. But I have never bought any design books, just borrow from the library. I have plans to buy your book as my first design book. Congratulations on your book release.
Alexandra says
BOOK ME!! There are two special places where we keep books in our home: in the living room book case organized by color (Novagratz-style) and in a rolling cart on my side of the bed. The books on the rolling cart are the ones I’m about to start reading and/or in the middle of reading!
Kelly says
BOOK ME! I want these books for my coffee table – especially yours!
lesismore says
book me!!!
my best books are on my coffee table shelf in stacks or on my night stand but i have great plans for an actual book case in our new home. if i had this collection, it would be the perfect motivator to get started on ideas…
robin says
BOOK ME!
I keep my books on a great bookshelf i have in my house office and all my guyilty pleasure mags on my nightstand.
Ben says
BOOK ME! I am always reading three or four books at a time and leave them strategically placed around the house – i.e. the baby’s nursery, my nightstand, the living room.
Amanda says
BOOK ME! I keep all of my books safe inside my nightstand away from the kiddies and their crayons!
Hope Arroyo says
Book Me! All of my favorite and current books have a prominent place beside my tub since that is the only place this mom gets to read!!!
Janice says
Book Me! :) I only have one design book so far… and it came in a pretty brown amazon box today!! (it’s yours, of course)! So far, it’s been following me around the house all day. Needless to say, it doesn’t have a permanent spot in the house, yet. But he sure would look amazing with a few friends to keep him company!
Ben says
BOOK ME! I’m not much of a decorator, so books get placed around the house randomly. I do have some leather bound editions, however, which are on my Ron Burgandy shelves.
Kate says
BOOK ME! oh please, please, please! these are all on my Christmas list! I keep my favorite books close; we move so much most of them are in storage :( but a select few travel the world with us!

Brooke says
BOOK ME!!! I need these! I wanted to get a book of yours signed in Minneapolis, but it is all full. This is my chance!
I keep my books all over, but these would be on (or on the ledge under) my coffee table, since I would be looking at them all the time.
Kira H. says
I really wish I had more shelves in our living room to display books! I have my most faves on our 3 shelves.
SJ says
BOOK ME! My favorite books are on the top shelf of the bookshelf in our study (out of reach of our 18-month old daughter!), but I keep my current read on my nightstand.

BOOK ME! I heart books…and they are everywhere in my house. But the ones that are the most read are by my bed and in the bathroom.
Kristen says
BOOK ME!!! My favorite books are in my nightstand – but I have a dream of building a wall of shelves in our new office to house my collection!
Jeanie says
BOOK ME!!!
Most of them reside in our crowded office. Sometimes it’s nice to sit in there and pretend that the clutter will just disappear, built-ins will materialize, a nice soft oversized leather chair will appear with soft throws, and I’ll have my own personal library.
Mary Elizabeth says
BOOK ME! I keep my favorite books on a little underneath hiding shelf on a side table in our living room. We are preparing to build our forever home by in drowning ourselves in finding the perfect house plan and bookshelves are a must for me!

Book me! My nightstand holds my favs!

BOOK ME!
My talented husband just built us the most amazing built-ins. Love them!

Leslie says
BOOK ME!
We have a 2 year old who LOVES to read (and we were blessed with many hand-me-downs) so our favorite place for books is on the couch, on the floor, and sometimes on the bookshelf. They’re everywhere for everyone to see, though I’m sure that’s not what you were asking :)
Dayna says
Book me!!! We have so many books that there is a bookshelf in every room of the house! Problem is only about 10 of those books are mine. Hubby is a book hoarder!
Susan says
Book me! My current favorite reads are held up by a small Thinker statue that I found and keep on my bedside bookshelt. He was pretty banged up so I spray painted him a bright, shiny gold. I call him Oscar. :)

BOOK ME!
We have a bookshelf filled to the brim with our fav books in our living room. But that doesn’t stop them from being in our guest room, master bedroom, loft and kitchen :)
Olivia says
Sadly, I left most of my physical books behind when we moved out to our little island paradise in the middle of the Aleutians. So most of my favorite books live on my iPad! I spent a few hours downloading a ton of books using my fast wireless (oh, how I miss you, fast internet) before we moved.
Cara says
“BOOK ME!”
I love books and I love reading! There are books in every room of our house. Love, love, love books!!
Isabel says
BOOK ME!
I keep them all over! On my DIY console inspired by you guys, on my wicker trunk side table, my nightstand has imploded with them, and on the floor in a tall stack next to reading chairs.
OMG, I want EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THOSE BOOKS!!! Random – please pick me!
Katie Barton says
BOOK ME!
There are books all over my house. My office book shelf is stuffed, there are books on my night stand, covering my coffee table, stacked on the kitchen counter, and strewn about in tons of other places.
betsy says
Book me!
They are on the side table in the living room :) xo
Heidi says
BOOK ME! I love to keep books on tables/shelves throughout the house so there is always something interesting to pick up and read!
Jayda says
BOOK ME!
There’s a running joke that I don’t know how to read, and coincidentally, my book collection is, well… Lacking. My first roommate (and best friend) was a total book worm, owning three bookshelves, a bed, and nothing else. Two of the bookshelves snapped after bearing too much weight, but a former-garage-sale-find-turned-family-hand-me-down made it through the literary storms. When she moved out, she said she would come back and grab it, since the car was already full, but for some reason, she never did. It still sits in my living room (with a very small library of books, and probably three times as many vinyl records) and my best friend still visits often, though she hasn’t ever mentioned taking that case back…
Erin says
Book me! We have all of our books in the office on bookshelves. Unfortunately our dog likes to chew and our daughter likes to draw!! :/ ;)
