Avon Addict Blog Hop - Day 24



Welcome to my blog, home of the 24th and final day of the Avon Addict Blog Hop! I hope you’ve had the chance to visit the blogs of my fellow Addicts. I’ve loved reading their posts - be they reviews, giveaways or reminiscing about their favorite Avon reads. It’s been fun!

Now, a little about me!

Who am I?  I’m a wife, a mother, a grandmother. A daughter, a sister, an aunt. Friend, neighbor and community volunteer. My name is Ruth, and I’m an addict. 

An Avon Addict.

You might be wondering what exactly an Avon Addict is. Well, Avon Addicts are ambassadors, of sorts. We were chosen - and what an incredible honor it is - because of our love of Avon books! We share our love of Avon’s authors and their stories by spreading the word and introducing people to the amazing worlds created by these incredibly talented writers. It’s fun, exciting, rewarding, and we take great joy in spreading the Avon love – and the addiction! 

For years I’ve been unabashedly addicted to reading. Addicted to stories that take me to faraway places in the long ago past, or not so faraway places in the here and now. Stories that sweep me off my feet, leave me breathless and satisfied, and yet, leave me wanting for more. No matter the genre, Avon books have been a huge part of feeding that addiction, an addiction I’ll never even try to kick!

Because Avon books have given me hours upon hours of reading pleasure, and because I want others to experience that pleasure, too, I’m giving away a bundle of goodies to one lucky winner!  The package will include: Caroline Linden’s The Way to a Duke’s Heart, Julie Ann Long’s A Notorious Countess Confesses,  Lecia Cornwall’s How to Deceive a Duke and Sandra Hill’s The Viking Takes a Knight!  (Sorry, bows not included.)

To enter this giveaway, fill out the Rafflecopter widget below. The more you do, the more chances you have to win!

  4. Thanks so much~! I love Historical romances. It will always be my most favorite kind of romance read. Although I was introduced to Stream Punk romance this year through the amazing Karina Cooper's Tarnish, that is also another read climbing up to the favorites list.

  11. Historical romances with a little of mystery are my faves. I can read contemporary , but my heart just navigates towards historicals. There's something nice about being able to step away from our modern world and be transported to the past.

    Happy Holidays!

  17. I love all genres of romance as long as there is an HEA, but my very favorite is a medieval setting.

  18. Historical Romance, no matter what else I read inbetween I always come back to it. There is something just super romantic about it, gentlemen who act like gentlemen and ladies were treated like ladies. Of course it is when they let their hair down when it gets interesting!
