RAK June!

It's RAK June!! The bloggers, Vanessa and Isalys, over at Book Soulmates created Random Acts of Kindness (RAK) which basically means that you give a book to someone without expecting anything in return for your kind heart. :)  I haven't done this in a couple of months, and now that I have a new job (and a little extra spending money), I decided to participate this month!

Below you will find the rules for RAK, directly from the Book Soulmates website:

COMPLETE RULES RE-CAP:
Please read carefully & follow all rules!  Thank you!

• Please sign-up each month that you can participate (and by participate, we mean give as well as receive).
• Show off your participation by grabbing our RAK button (code is in the right sidebar).
• Create a wish list (on Amazon, Goodreads, or your blog, etc) and post it in the Google Doc located in each R.A.K post for the month.
• If you choose to do a R.A.K for someone, check out their wish list and contact that blogger directly for their information.
• Once you receive a RAK, send us an our new email to [rakbybooksoulmates @ gmail . com] so that we can update the Google Doc. IT IS VERY IMPORTANT THAT YOU SEND EMAILS TO THIS ADDRESS!
• E-book participation is limited to files being gifted directly to a person from the e-book store. Amazon's Kindle Store is set up to allow this, as well as the Kobo store and we believe Barnes & Noble with Nook as well.
• At the end of the month, SHOW US YOUR R.A.K by making a "RAK Wrap-Up" post.  This post should include who you SENT gifts to as well who you RECEIVED gifts from :)

OPEN TO EVERYONE including all our International brethren!

Easy peezy!!

November Wrap-up & December Gear-up!! RAK!

 

 

Here's my November wrap-up!

I received Desire by Kailin Gow from Temara for my Kindle!  Thanks Temara!! I didn't get a blog address or anything in the Kindle gift :( 

 

 

Unfortunately, due to some very weird and crazy circumstances on my end this month, I wasn't able to send out any books.  I hope to make up for it by sending out more this month!  So, without further ado....
