Brandie says
Book me! I recently downsized my book collection and now all my favorites have room to breathe on my bookshelf.
Nicole says
BOOK ME! I have bookcase of all my favorite books!
Ashley says
BOOK ME!!! I am DYING to win this. My husband just built us some Ikea-hack built in bookcases in a previously wasted space. We have a tiny townhome so you would be totally proud of our little extra storage project. I am in my final year of law school so all of my old text books are in there now, along with our 2 year olds toys on the lower shelves. I would LOVE to add these to the mix. You know, for when I graduate and have time to read for pleasure again…
Jen Mathers says
“Book Me!” I have a bookcase where most of my books live but when reading a book it goes wherever I go…my bedroom nightstand, kitchen table, side table by couch, even my purse;). Already per ordered your book but would pass it along to my sister if I won! Thanks for a great giveaway!
Lauren says
Book Me!
The second floor of my house is dedicated to books. Yes, it’s a split level house, so technically a half-floor… but a floor nonetheless!
Andi says
Book Me!
They live everywhere in this house…even in the bathroom! The important ones (the ones currently being read) are usually hanging out on the couch or my nightstand.
Nati says
Book me. We have bookshelves right next to the entrance of the house where we keep our favourite books! (I have a Us address for the books)

Thanks for the book love!!!

BOOK ME!
Our special books go on a floating set of book shelves in our living room. We like keeping our all-time favorites visible and accessible.
allison says
Book me! I keep ’em all over the house….
Jean says
BOOK ME! I keep all of my favorite books on one bookshelf in our computer room, but I have more tossed about the house. I need a better organization system!
Shelby @ Sweetness in Starlight says
BOOK ME!
I keep all of my favorite books in our living room so that when we have company over they are on display!! I’ve gotten many compliments on them too. Can’t wait to add yours to the collection.
Hilary says
Book ME!!! This is such an exciting giveaway! Being an English major, I always have at least 3 books on hand at all times :) I keep my favorite books right on the bookcase that is integrated into our headboard. I love how convenient it is, and our 1 year old can’t reach them and pull the books onto the ground!
Melissa says
Book me!
There’s a bookcase in my bedroom filled with my favorites. The most my husband reads is Sports Illustrated so every nook & cranny on the shelf belongs to me!
Elisabeth Lyons says
Book me!
The one piece of furniture i have had all through college is a bookcase. Love that thing!

My books seem to migrate around – bookshelf, coffee table, kitchen counter, beside my bed, etc.
Liddia says
Book Me!!
All of our books live in the built in book cases in our office. We’re exciting like that! ;)
laurie says
BOOK ME
I,honestly, have books everywhere in my home. I have the standard bookshelves to house them but they are also stacked on coffee tables, side tables (artfully of course). I have cookbooks on the counter top in the kithcen, stacked on an hope chest under the sideboard.
In baskets in the bathroom.
On the night side in the bedroom…BESDIDE the nightstand in the bedroom.
Empty space? Just buy more books.
Jane B. says
“BOOK ME!” John-O! I love, Love, LOVE books!!! I have way, way too many of them, but can’t help myself. I love how they look. I love how they feel. I love the story they tell about me when people see them on my many book shelves. In fact, this fantastic(!) collection of design+diy books will look TERRIFIC on my new floor to ceiling built in bookcases that just got done this week. How is that for perfect timing and serendipity?!? Oh, great random number picker, please pick me. I simply cannot wait for my pre-ordered Young House Love book to arrive on my doorstep, oh, so very soon :)
Nichole Reid says
BOOK ME!!! My favorites live on my iPad! :)
Megan C says
BOOK ME!! I was at your Cincinnati book tour stop but you were sold out of books already!! I like to keep my favorite books on my coffee table!
Jen M. says
BOOK ME!
My favorite books live in a beautiful bookcase in my living room, and these would make a great addition to both my bookcase and my reading list!!
Lindsey says
BOOK ME!
I’m closing and moving in to my new house next week, so all of my books are currently in boxes! But when there isn’t an impending move, my favorite pretty books get a nice seat on my coffee table, and my current read goes on the nightstand (or in my new kindle on my nightstand if it’s more of a novel and not something pretty to look at!).
These books would sit promeninetly on my coffee table or on the floating shelves I plan to hang in the living room flanking the tv.

Amanda W. says
BOOK ME!
As an avid book worm, I have three large bookcases filled with books in our basement family room. But, I would love to learn to decorate with books as well — maybe these books would help!
Marie says
Book Me!
All of my books are arranged by category, and I have a “to read next” stack, too. I love messy, overstocked shelves that make you want to grab a cup of coffee and start thumbing through. I keep a stack of current reads/about to read on my kindle, on the coffee table and my nightstand.
Eileen says
BOOK ME!!
Used to have a built in bookshelf in our old houses for our books, but are in the middle of a move right now, so the few favorites are sitting on the floor next to the sofa. Will have to find a place for them in the new house!
Erin R. says
Book Me! I have a wall of bookshelves lining the large hallway between my entryway and living room, and it’s one of my favorite spots in our home. But books are such a big love for our family that I use stacks in nearly every room from the living room and office to entryway and bedroom. In this bookworm’s humble opinion, there’s no such thing as too many books as long as you love them all!
Shannon H says
BOOK ME!! Most of those books — including yours, obviously — are on my Wish List! I like keeping some favorite books on the lower part of our glass coffee table and a few on the mantle. I also tend to keep a small personal stack on my headboard and/or on my nightstand for convenience… books everywhere!
Elizabeth says
BOOK ME!
We love books! In fact, my husband is a library specialist. Our house is filled with books and built-in bookcases, but my favorite place to put my books is my nightstand.
Ashlea says
Please BOOK ME!!! These would be my prized posessions!! Most likely on my mantle! I’m not able to make it to any of your signings, so this would be so awesome to win! :)
John says
Saw your book was listed in the Richmond newspaper book section on Sunday.
Cait says
BOOK ME! I keep some books on my coffee table…and the rest I’m sad to say are in a box! I really need to do something about that!
Carrie says
“BOOK ME!” I display my books as part of my decor, mostly on bookshelves throughout the house. They’re interspersed with decorative items, plants, and artwork.
Lawton says
Book me!!!!
I keep my most often read books on floating shelves right by my couch!
Jennifer says
BOOK ME! On my nightstand where I devour them nightly!
Andria says
Book me! I keep them all on a beautiful built-in bookcase.
Jen D. says
BOOK ME!
I actually got my copy of your book yesterday! Yay for Amazon pre-orders! ;)
My books all live on the two huge bookshelves in the bedroom. They used to be displayed in the living room of our old place, but we don’t have the room here. :(
Lizbeth says
BOOK ME!
Oh my, this would be an amazing prize! Books are all over my house, but my current favorite would probably be parked next to my coffee cup on the kitchen table.
Susie says
BOOK ME! We have a some shelving in the spare bedroom. That is where most of the books in our house go to live.
Kristine says
BOOK ME! We keep them all on beautiful shelves that my dad built for us–heirlooms that look BOSS!
Erica says
BOOK ME!
I keep all of my favorite books in a lovely old secretary in our dining room. All of my favorite books I had as a child and newer favorites are in a bookcase near my sewing area. As a children’s librarian many of my favorite books are checked out from the public library and “promptly” returned after I’ve finished them. I have to tell others about the books I’ve loved.
Breanna says
“BOOK ME!”
They sit happily on my coffee table.
AmyL says
book me! all books on my bookshelf and the really good ones next to my night stand.
Amy G. says
BOOK ME! Books are so important to my family, so we keep them in every room. But I’d keep these on my coffee table because they are so great!
Brooke says
BOOK ME PLEASE!!!
My favorite books (mostly architecture & home design books) live in the “bonus” room in our house which we turned into a library! Love having a good spot to read!
Allyn says
BOOK ME!
I keep mine all over the place. True nerd
