Random Thoughts: June RAK Wrap-Up & July RAK Sign-Up

Jul 02, 2012 , 4 Comments

 RAK is a lovely monthly gathering where you can choose to send someone a book or even some handmade goodies! This great event is hosted by the wonderful gals over at Book Soulmates. 

In June, I managed to send one RAK out to:

to Michelle @ Book Briefs from USA!

This is the first time I am sending a RAK from my own shelf so this was really cool as I got to give a book of mine another good home!

Didn’t get anything in June but it’s okay.
Now, onto JULY! The rules remain the same, the only thing that changes is the person(s) you decide to bestow RAKs to!
But before you jump in, do read the rules first! And remember, this is about giving as much as receiving!

Here’s my Wishlist if you’d like to share the book love with me! THANKS.

COMPLETE RAK 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 an email to [rakbybooksoulmates @ gmail . com] so that they 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 July [HERE]
  • See who else is participating [HERE]
  • If you have any questions regarding RAK, please contact them 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 🙂
