R.A.K. July Wrap Up and August Wishlist

Last month in July, I sent


Starcrossed to Ashley from Bookish Brunette
Bright Young Things to Vanessa from Book Soulmates
Looking for Alaska to Chrystal from Snowdrop Dreams of Books
When Beauty Tamed the Beast to Stephanie from Once Upon a Chapter

I had so much fun last month, and I'm excited for August as well! :)

I have a wishlist posted on Amazon.ca (link below) and on the Book Depository.com. I'm also going to include a few wishlist books on this post.





If you're interested in purchasing from RAK, click here for the Amazon wishlist, or e-mail me for shipping information to ship from The Book Depository (wishlist) (where shipping is free!) or any ARC/review/gently used copy you have lying around :)


UPDATE: I've received Wildefire and Nightshade, and bought the Iron King. For a fully updated wishlist, please view my Amazon.ca list (paragraph above) and contact me if you need more info!


P.S. Don't know what RAK is? RAK stands for Random Acts of Kindness, which is a movement started by Book Soulmates. Book lovers (usually bloggers) can post their wishlists up and sign up for that month. Then other users can buy them a book off their wishlist as a surprise!

It's basically another way of connecting with other book lovers and sharing books, except you do something nice for other people ;) Then at the end of the month, you highlight which books you gave and to whom, as well as any books you received.


RULES RE-CAP -
NEW request added:

  • Sign up each month that you'd like to participate.
  • Show off your participation by grabbing our RAK button :)
  • 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 for their address.
  • NEW REQUEST: Please, once you receive a RAK, come back to the Google doc and mark the box that says you've received one. There are a lot of requests for this!
  • At the end of the month, SHOW US YOUR R.A.K! Make a post saying 'Thank You' to whoever granted one of your wishes and share it with us :)
OPEN TO EVERYONE!


Let's keep our International bloggers in mind and in our hearts.


Remember, there's always the Book Depository and they offer FREE shipping!

Easy peezy!!

Good Luck to all the Giveaway participants and thanks for joining and passing on the kindness! You guys ROCK!!

**IMPORTANT NOTES**


  1. When talking about RAK on Twitter, please use the hastag (#RAK). It makes it much easier to keep track of the conversations, answer questions and/or tweet back! =)
  2. When submitting your wish list, please make sure that it is set to PUBLIC viewing. Some people have run into trouble with wish lists that were set to private. We want to be sure that no one is left out of getting great RAKs.
  3. Some of you seem to have gotten frustrated because you can't get your links to appear active. This is a very easy fix :) Just make sure that when you enter your link, do NOT hit the Enter key. Instead, hit the TAB key which will send you to the next field on the form. Additional spaces entered after the link will leave the link inactive. However, if this does happen to you...no worries, we'll fix it for you :)
