Random Acts of Kindness: January 2012 Sign-up!

{Please click on the RAK button above to be re-directed to our Book Soulmates Store on Amazon. You can find all your favorite titles there and add them to your shopping cart.} 
 
Good-bye 2011 and HELLOOOOO 2012!
It's a new year but we're no less excited to continue the gift of giving with RAK:)

Please remember that R.A.K. is not about receiving FREE books! It's about giving as well as receiving.  It's about passing on the joy of reading and books with others.  If during any given month, you find that you may not be able to give at all, please reconsider signing up for that month.  We've found that there have been quite a few people who have received but not given and that may seem unfair to some.

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

Easy peezy!!

Links you will need:
  • Sign up for January [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 :)

Random Acts of Kindness: December Wrap-up!

We sent:
This month, in lieu of RAK gifts, we had a blogger Christmas party.  Yani from The Secret Life of an Avid Reader, Jen from Not Now I'm Reading, and Ash from Smash Attack Reads! all joined us :) Ash even made her awesome Candy Cane Martinis for us (see first pic). Jen and Vanessa got scarves as part of their Secret Santa gifts...lol.


  
We also sent Christmas cards and non-bookish goodies to some of the friends that have made the most impact on our lives over the course of the year.  We wish we could have sent more but then we'd really need a workshop with elves, lol.

2011 has been a challenging year, to say the least, but if we're thankful for anything this year it's the really great friends that we've made!

We received:
 Thank you Daphne from Publish Novels or Bust!  Both have been read already ;)

Thank you Lethea B (@Luvdaylillies) for my copy of Daughter of Smoke & Bones!  You are one of the sweetest, most generous RAKers we know :)

Thank you Mindy from Magical Urban Fantasy Reads :) I already devoured this book and can't wait for the sequel next year!

I got another copy of Wicked In Your Arms by Sophie Jordan, but this one was dedicated & signed :) Woohoo!!  Thank you to my good friend Carrie (@NewUTMommy) from Stalking the Bookshelves for my awesome RAK!

And thank you to Lindsay J for my copy of So Silver Bright. I don't know what your Twitter tag or blog is but I thank you nonetheless for thinking of me :)

It really was Christmas this month with all these amazing RAK gifts.  Thank you ALL for your continued participation in sharing the love of reading with others. We couldn't have asked for better bloggy friends!!!



PS: Don't forget to leave the links to your R.A.K. October Wrap-Up! posts so we can stop by and check out your loot!!
