Random Acts of Kindness: October Sign-up #RAK


It's the start of the month, so that means that the sign-up linky for October's Random Acts of Kindness is up!

If you are not familiar with Random Acts of Kindness (R.A.K.), it is not about getting free books but about giving books. The idea is to do something kind for someone else without the expectation of receiving anything in return. 

What you do is create a "Wishlist" of books that you have been hoping for and aching to read, and go over to Book Soulmates and sign-up to participate in that month's R.A.K.

Here is My Wishlist

Here are the Top 5 books on my Wishlist:
1. Ten by Gretchen McNeil
2. The Hunt by Andrew Fukuda
3. VN by Madeline Ashby 

4. Glitch by Heather Anastasiu
5. The Raft by S. A. Bodeen


The complete rules below are copied from our fabulous hosts, Book Soulmates:

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


Easy peezy!!


Links you will need:
  • Sign up for October [HERE]
  • See who else is participating [HERE]
  • If you have any questions regarding RAK, please contact us via the following: rakbybooksoulmates @ gmail . com

Tips:

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 :)
