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.

BOOK ME… I think the more appropriate question for me is where don’t I keep my books. I’m a librarian, so books are everywhere. I am even considering converting some kitchen cabinet space to store more books. The only “special place” are the shelves that hold books that are signed by my favorite authors. Books equal love!
Jennifer says
BOOK ME!
I have books in every room of the house right now as a grad student, but my favorite books go in the built-in bookshelves on either side of our fireplace.
Jeanne G. says
BOOK ME!
My favorite books have a set of bookends on top of my dresser. I couldn’t fit them all on my nightstand, so this is my compromise- off the nightstand, still in the bedroom.
lindsay says
BOOK ME! I have two personal bookshelves, one for fun, and one for more serious books that are important to me. One came from a resale furniture store, and was just plain ugly. I painted her shelves different colors, and used Modge Podge to paste on all kinds of fun things that are special to me.
Julie says
Book ME! – Places my toddler can’t reach :)
Ashley says
BOOK ME! My favorite coffee table books are displayed on rotation (depending on the mood or season). We don’t like to display a library amount of books so ones that I’ve enjoyed but don’t want to hold on to will either be given to a friend or donated to Goodwill – that way, someone else can enjoy it rather than it collect dust :-)
Lisa Taylor says
BOOK ME! I have my favorites on a book case but the current hot read is usually by my reading chair or night stand.

Book me!!

Jodie says
BOOK ME!!! These would look fantastic on my bookshelf!
Chelsie says
BOOK ME!
I turned my dining room into a library and keep almost every book I own in there. The stuff I’m currently reading, however, goes on the night stand or in my purse.
Abby J. says
BOOK ME! My favorite books are on display on our shelves in our living room. Those are styled to show nice, pretty things, as well as sentimental things. But the bottom shelf of these bookcases are the most important as there are storage bins full of toys for the kids.

BOOK ME!

BOOK ME!!
My books decorate the house. I am loving my new YHL book!
Abby @ Have Dental Floss, Will Travel says
Book me!
My husband and I both teach history (me college, him high school), so we have books exploding out of our ears. A few years ago, we added built-ins to our living room, and all of our favorite books are displayed on the top shelf. We love it because the seeming randomness of the selection makes for a great conversation starter with friends.
Mim says
BOOK ME! Fave childrens books (those my kids an currently enjoy plus ones from my later childhood/teens for when they’re older) are all in top shelf of hallway bookcase.
lisa says
Book me!
Book shelves in each room with different books in coordinating colors. Slightly psychotic, but makes it possible to put them anywhere instead of hiding them away.
Becca says
BOOK ME! My favorite books are in styled in our entertainment stand.
Laura says
BOOK ME!
I love keeping pretty books in my built-ins next to my fireplace, arranged with some other pretty things among the shelves. These would look GREAT on those shelves :)
HeatherV says
Book me!!!
Ok so if I win, my Christmas list just got a whole lot shorter!! We have a love of books in our home with many special places. Chloe has a book cupboard where the majority live but favorites are rotated out to her play area. Ours are all over, book case, tables & my kindle can be found laying anywhere at any time I’m not reading!
Karlie Kidd says
BOOK ME!! I keep my books in a few different places. Most have found a home on my hutch in the kitchen and sewing/craft books on the hutch in my sewing room. Then baby books on picture ledges from Ikea in the nursery. I love to display my books!

Book Meeee!!! Congratulations on your new book!!! I so want to add this too my collection!!! I keep my deco books all for me on my night stand and coffee table!!
Emily says
Book Me! My books currently live on a small bookshelf but someday I would like a more decorative way to display some favorites.
morgan smith says
BOOK ME! I keep books EVERYWHERE! In my closet, on book shelves, on my tv stand, under my bed. I love books and I know e-readers are the coolest thing but I just adore holding those pages in my hand!
Jos says
BOOK ME!
i arrange my books by color, so unfortunately there is no one spot for my favorites :)
Stephanie R. says
BOOK ME!
I keep all my books in this wood bookshelf my dad built my sister and I. We’re both bookworms, so the fact that my dad built a place to house all of our books is very special.
Jayme says
BOOK ME!!
Whatever it is that I’m currently enveloped in comes with me where ever it is I go, and once I’m home, it hangs out in my favorite reading spot, bed!
Rebecca says
BOOK ME! I keep my top three books I am reading (yes, somehow I manage to read more than one book at a time.. crazy) close by on my nightstand :)
Carrie D. says
BOOK ME!!! I recently just moved in with roommates, so all of my lovely books are in a box. Boo! When I lived by myself, I would get the books and arrange them by colors. so I have a pop of color around my house!
Eleanor Worthy says
BOOK ME! my special books are on my nightstand
Christina says
BOOK ME! My favorite books are used as decor in different rooms of the house. The one I’m reading at the moment lives on my night stand. There are books stacked on my buffet in my dining room, on my dresser, and under a side table in the living room. That makes me sound like a book hoarder, but I’m not really! I like how a stack of three books looks with a small trinket on top or beside it.
Yvette says
Book ME!! My faves are on my nightstand and the others are on the lower shelf of our Hemnes coffee table. Our favorite hardcovers are on the entry way bookshelf for all to see and enjoy!
