Big Box O'Avon #1

Hi everyone!

I don't know if you caught my Tweets last week, but I was lucky enough to be picked for this batch of Avon Addicts! :D

Today I found a HUGE box on my porch--Avon Box of Love #1.

Needless to say I looked like a kid on Christmas morning as I sorted through it!

Want to know what I got? ;)

 

My own Avon bag--complete with an Avon Addict pin. I think I shall take both with me everywhere! :D

The Ugly Duchess, Lord of Temptation,
Sacrifice the Wicked, My Scandalous Viscount,
and One Good Earl Deserves a Lover!

 

Can we take a moment to admire the awesomeness? (But not my camera skills!) :) All such great authors, gorgeous covers...and let's not forget the Swan!

I see extras..

Hmm, I wonder what I should do with them? :)

After I post my review for The Way to a Duke's Heart, I'll be putting up a giveaway for the four extra copies. US only, I'm afraid, sorry! Keep watching, the giveaway will probably be in the next week or two!

I know that being an Avon Addict is going to be a lot of fun, but the only downfall, if you wish to call it that, is the damage this will do to my TBR Mountain. *whispers--It's not happy with me right now...* :D To all those interested, remember that Avon will be choosing new addicts in 6 months, so be sure to apply then!

 

And so it begins... Look for all my reviews, giveaways, and other fun Avon Addict posts starting soon!




Enjoy!



Until Next Time,

Please note that any "FREE" e-books I bought may not be free now! I bought some of these books very early in the month, and as we know they change often! Some of them may still be free, some may not. Some may also be free on other e-book retailer websites, some may not. If you are interested in buying any of said "FREE" books, please check the current price on that website first!

~*~*~*~

As you can see, I went a bit crazy this month on buying, even though, true, 90 percent of my books were freebies from BN.

Still, with a TBR mountain like mine (last I "updated" it, which was a few months ago, it was above 300!), buying this many books is a bit crazy. Okay, I'll admit--I'm crazy and proud of it! LOL.

I'd like to thank everyone who sent me books--whether they were RAKs, gifts, books to be review, or books I won from various giveaways. THANK YOU!

Although I tried to keep track, I think I also forgot a few. :) I've received a few e-books to review for various blog tours that I will be participating in, and for whatever reason I didn't write them down for this list. Maybe because I knew the tours weren't for a month or more? *Shrugs*

I'll do better next month! :)

What did you receive this month? Tell me, I'd like to know (or link up to your own post in the comment section)!

Enjoy!

What Did I Receive?

This past week I had a nice package in the mail--- a BIG box of books, complete with tons of awesome swag!

Really, it's a girl's dream package!

Okay, well, except for a drop-dead-sexy Scottish Highlander on your  doorstep. But my mailman doesn't deliver these sorts of packages (Damn!). :D

So, here is what was in said box. All books (and swag) were courtesy of Kati R. from Romancing Rakes. She had a wonderful giveaway while doing a guest post on Aislynn's blog (on her birthday, nonetheless--talk about a very giving girl!)

I know I've said it already, but THANK YOU again, Kati--so many great books, I don't even know where to start! :D

Bought:

I also bought a few books (freebies) for my Nook this past week.

NOTE: At the time of purchase, these ebooks were all free on BN.com. This may no longer be the case. The titles link to the Amazon page; the books may or may not be free there as well.

What Did I Receive?

I should never have signed up for NetGalley...I am pretty sure that it is going to be the straw that broke my back. LOL.

Case in point, look at what I got just today (after going on a long request binge last night--so many great books are available on there, don't you know!) And the sad thing is...I requested more than the four listed below. These four are just the ones that I have received an answer back on. Oh, my TBR mountain is going to topple any day now, I know it!

For Review:

The Wolf Who Loved Me by Lydia Dare

The Night is Mine by M.L. Buchman

*I just had this one this week's L4C and then I found it on NG--It's a sign, I tell you!*














Stud by Cheryl Brooks

(Okay, I need to read the first books in this series really quickly; I'm debating on buying them right now for my NOOK....)








~*~*~
What about you--What did you get in the mail this week? Or on your e-reader? Did you break down and buy any or did you do like I did and go on a NetGalley binge? :D Let me know!

I'm sure I bought a few books for my NOOK this past week too (free ones), but I can't remember for sure.

All I know is that I have a lot of books to read--and a lot to review!

However, I have to say I have been pretty good this year (so far). I've read 6 books and wrote a review for each one! Now, only one or two of those reviews have been posted yet, but that is due to publication dates and what not, not me being behind. So cross you fingers and hope that I keep up the good work; if so, my review pile will be down to zero in no time! :D



Enjoy!
