October RAK Wrap-Up

October went by so fast, too fast I must say. It was a great month for reading and receiving some wonderful Random Acts of Kindness. Thank you to all of the bloggers and readers who participate in this fun bookswapping, gift-giving program. I love being a part of this bookish community. I also want to thank Vanessa and Isalys of Books Soulmates for coordinating and hosting.

I received:



Thank you so much!!

The Girls of Baxter Academy (e-book) from Jenn at Waiting on Sunday to Drown
Amber at The Musings of ALMYBNENR - Faking It (e-book)
Rain Maiden Jen - Playing Hurt

**RAK UPDATE**

I received one more RAK after I posted this on Sunday. On Halloween, I came home to a treat and no tricks!! Alyssa @ The Reader's Refuge gave me



I sent:





Meghan Books and Tea - The Lovely Books* and The Notebook*
Jenny @ Mimosa Stimulus  - Dairy Queens
Rain Maiden Jen - Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist and some gum (new not chewed, lol)
Alyssa @ The Reader's Refuge - My Sister's Keeper*
Jenn at Waiting on Sunday to Drown - Lucky* and The Witches of Santa Anna 

I made an effort to not spend too much money on RAKs this month. I planned to send 3 (new) books out this month (trying to maintain a budget), but I had many of these books on my shelves* and wanted to pass them along. So I did buy only 3 books (Kindle "give as gift" makes it too easy), and that goal was met.

I didn't plan to sign up in next month since I declared it "No Book Buying November" but I am going to sign up in hopes that I can pass along more books that are already on my shelves.

I'd love to know what books you received as RAK. Please leave a comment and I will check them out.

  1. Great collection although the beginning of the Lovely Bones bothered me so much I couldn't read it all the way through.

  2. Great set of books you gave away. Me too. Might sign up to get rid of some more books myself. I give a lot of books, because I want others to enjoy books.
