Random Acts of Kindness - January

I wasn't sure if I was going to sign-up for January's RAK because I've sent and bought sooo many books over the last couple of months I thought I might have a break... but then I decided to sign-up anyway lol

I love sharing books with people and so I couldn't not sign-up, however I'll try to not go my usual crazy self and just send one or two this month, the hardest bit will be deciding who to send them to!

If you've never heard of RAK, here's the details. (Copied from Book Soulmates blog)

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.

I actually didn't do a wrap-up post for the end of November or December because I sent and recieved books all over the place for Christmas and kind of lost track lol

Here are the five books I listed as being top of my wishlist when signing-up this month:

Frost by Marianna Baer

Ashes, Ashes by Jo Treggiari

The Duff by Kody Keplinger

Scored by Lauren McLaughlin

The faerie ring by Kiki Hamilton

Leave a link to your wishlist if you've signed-up for rak this month so I can have nose at what you want.

What I sent

First I sent these to Siobhan at Totally Bookalicious - I have the first one of these myself and one day I may actually read it lol

This I sent to Donna at Book passion for life - I'd never heard of it until I spotted it on Donnas wishlist but it sounded good so I picked it for her, if she enjoys it I might get it for myself lol

And finally I sent this to Alice at Best books - I also sent a copy to her blog partner Annmarie but I don't think she's signed up for RAK so it doesn't really count lol

What I got

Donna at Book passion for life sent me this oh so pretty book and Tynga at Tyngas reviews also sent me a Kindle ecopy

Donna also gave me these.

And these two were from my lovely friend Natalie Cleary

And that's all of them. I had another fab month participating in RAK and plan to sign-up for September as soon as it opens. I already have plans to get a few for Donna because it's her birthday and I'm going to pick a couple of random people from the sign-up sheet to buy for and make myself some new friends! :)
