RAK is a monthly meme hosted by Book Soulmates. You can join in on the fun HERE.
For those of you who don't know, a RAK is a Random Act of Kindness. People sign up with their wishlist and then can look at other people's wish-lists and send them a Random Act of Kindness. It is really simple, but here are the rules:
- Please read carefully and 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 of the Book Soulmates page).
- 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.
Remember, there's always the Book Depository or Fishpond, and they offer FREE shipping!
I usually participate every month, and lately I've been stalking the Amazon wishlists of other participants to send them surprise RAKs. (I'm a bit shy, and I don't like messaging strangers for their address, and I tend to make conversations awkward.) Also, if you're feeling the urge to splurge on me for my birthday this month, I have two different bookish wishlists on Amazon: one for YA/MG Books and another for Adult Books. If you just want highlights, here are the top 5 that I really want:
- The Sorceress by Michael Scott
- Vessel by Sarah Beth Durst
- The Mad Scientist's Daughter by Cassandra Rose Clarke
- The Rook by Daniel O'Malley
- Splendors and Glooms by Laura Amy Schlitz
I hope you guys all have a happy RAK month!

ReplyDeleteI'm participating in RAK this month as well ^^ Believe me, I KNOW what awkward conversations are and you can't possibly be worst than me, it's just not possible XDD I freak out whenever someone's like 'oh i'll send you some RAK' - which is rare, but when it hits me, BOY IT HITS ME -
ReplyDeleteI can give you some ebooks, if you'd like, I have tons of them for the sole purpose of giving them to others ^^
Happy RAK month! :)
