The Sunday Post ~ 59th Edition
The Sunday Post is a weekly meme hosted by Kimba @ Caffeinated Book Reviewer ~ It's a chance to share news~ A post to recap the past week on your blog, showcase books and things we have received and share news about what is coming up on our blog for the week ahead. 
Crazy Book Week here at the Caffeinated Cafe I received everything from Vampires to Hot and Yummy Dukes! This week I received some exciting news. I am both proud and honored to share that I am an Avon Addict! Of course this means exciting things for you as a follower. I will have some awesome reviews, posts, giveaways and lots of swag each month to share with you! Avon books is a division of HarperCollins and it offers everything romance  from historical to paranormal in both YA and Adult genres  Here is my official letter and yes I did a happy dance!

Congrats on becoming an Avon Addict!


Great haul this week, I am loving the cover of The First Lie, I think it has a bit of a shabby chic flare to it.


I just read Ann's post, it completely bummed me out, and find her treatment hard to fathom. Thanks for sharing.

I was going to apply for the Avon addict thing but even though I love a lot of Avon books I find myself reading much more YA so I decided not to. I have Crown of Thorns on it's way to me and I'm SO excited to read it!

Thanks for mentioning the read a thon!

I have Golden Girl but when I went to pick it up I discovered it's the 2nd book so I guess it'll sit and wait until one day when I get (and then read) the 1st one.

Looks like a great week planned!
