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.

- GIVEAWAY CLOSES: Wednesday, Nov 7th at 8pm EST or at 10,000 entries (whichever comes first)

BOOK ME! We have a book shelf in our study – a.k.a the room that shall not be revealed. That room is a disaster, but it’s on the list of upgrades to be covered in my newly created blog (as soon as I finish the guest room).
Couldn’t be more excited for the book!

Sandi says
BOOK ME!!!
In my reading loft
Christy says
All our most special books are on bookshelves in our storage area right now. Unfortunately, our youngest, 18 months, is a destroyer of books (he’s even managed to tear some board books!). We’re looking forward to the day when we can put some of our favorites back on the coffee table!
Kevin says
BOOK ME.
RIght above my bed to be in easy reach.
Adrienne says
BOOK ME!!!
My favorite books of the moment are in my bedroom where I can flip through them I as relax at the end of the day. Also no book is safe on the coffee table with my 2yr old little boy roaming around.
Stefanie says
“BOOK ME!”
My books have many homes (because I have many books…) but the ones in the living room are arranged by ROYGBIV as best I can. It’s a cheerful pop of color that stands opposite our fairly masculine grey furniture and black painted shelves.
Elisabeth@SimplyParkers says
BOOK ME! If I had this pretty collection of books I think I’d set them out for all to see.
Leland says
Book me!
Gayle says

BOOK ME! Books stay in the bookcase or in my Nook! Although I do have them organized by ‘color of spine’ for an ombre effect :)
val says
BOOK ME!!! I have a hige bookshlef organized by color that is the first thing people see when our front door is opened. I am loving these colors and books! I need to build some furniture with Ana! :)

Pippin says
“Book Me!” We have books pretty much in each room, as my husband is a philosophy professor. You should see his office. My special place for books is my night stand.
Can’t wait to see your book!

Stephanie says
BOOK ME!
I don’t have a special book place just yet (although I do have a few photobooks stacked on a side table) but if I upped my collection I would HAVE to start one. :)
Hillary says
Book Me!
We have a small bookshelf in our living room reserved for current reads. The rest are on bookshelves in the office or donated.
Christie says
BOOK ME!!!
I have a nice spot under our coffe table, but these awesome books would get a space on top of the table. ;-)
Kelly says
Book Me!
Instead of doing a formal sitting room, we opted to create a library with comfy chairs and a wall of bookcases.
Mary Ellen says
Book me!! Bookcases in the den.
Moira says
“BOOK ME!” …
they’re scattered – ahem – stored – everywhere!

BOOK ME!
I keep my special books on the night stand right next to my bed!
Laurel says
Ahhhhh I’m the first one to comment on this!!! How exciting!
BOOK ME!!!! I loooooove to read and I’m a architectural design major. This is right up my alley!
My favorite book, Gone With the Wind, is usually in my bag. I carry it almost every where, even if I’m reading something else. It’s good for reading on short trips because I can just pick it up, read a short passage and be cut off in the middle without any worry!
Clare M says
Book me!
I keep all my favorite books on an end table in the living room, though there’s usually a pile waiting to be read (or re-read) on my night stand or on the floor by my bed.
Anneliese says
Book me!!
My decorating books are either on my nightstand or on the center table in our study/library.

Book ME!!! My favorite books either travel with me via Kindle or stay in a little cozy bookcase next to my bed.
Jodi says
BOOK ME!
I keep mine organized by category in some pretty cool open bookshelves I picked up from Big Lots for $99 each. They look like they are built into the wall!
Jenna says
BOOK ME!
I have a very rambunctious toddler who just loves to destroy books so we have to keep them in a book shelf in our bedroom, or up high!
Jen G. says
BOOK ME! They’re scattered throughout my home, on my computer, pretty much any free space. Every discretionary dollar goes to books :-)
Jayne says
Book me!!
I keep my books on my nightstand near my bed!
Kristen says
BOOK ME :) My books all live in the bookshelf!!
Jennifer says
Book Me!
I keep them on my coffee table so I have easy access to them! I am a book lover, it might be turning into an unhealthy obsession, I am running out of shelf space!
Katie says
BOOK ME! My husband and I are a young couple that chose to buy an older home and renovate in one of the few areas in the country where the market is hot and building is all the rage. Any ideas are welcome and all of those books are on my want list!
Sarah says
Book me!
The bookcase in our bedroom.
Katie says
BOOK ME! Oh my goooooosh, this might be my favorite giveaway you’ve ever done. Except for the one to visit y’all in Richmond. That one was awesome :) I’m a school librarian and total book lover. We have book shelves in literally every room of the house except the bathrooms. I think my current favorite collection is the board books living in my son’s nursery. We took my childhood shelves, built by my grandfather, and re-painted them for our baby boy. Lots of stories there :)
Stacey says
Book me!
Erinn Wilson says
BOOK ME!
All of my books rest on a tall shelf from IKEA with some of our favorite items, our diplomas, wedding gifts, and photographs. I dream of having a wall of floor to ceiling bookcases filled with beautiful books someday.
