RAK: October Wrap-Up!

Random Acts of Kindness is a monthly feature hosted by Book Soulmates. For more information, please go here.

I unfortunately wasn't able to send anything this month, but I have some books waiting to be sent, I just need to get the funds in order. I currently do not have a job or a source of income besides babysitting and I'm already in debt to my boyfriend for various necessities. I really hope to send books in the near future!

Received:

I received quite a few books this month, which definitely surprised me!

Beauty Queens by Libba Bray

I received this from Emma at The Girl with a Book. After hearing all the wonderful things about this one, I was dying to get my hands on it! I'm currently reading this right now and am so far loving all its quirkiness! Thank you, Emma!

The Dead-Tossed Waves by Carrie Ryan

I absolutely fell in love with The Forest of Hands and Teeth and already had The Dark and Hollow Places, so I couldn't wait to read this one! This one came from Jen at At Random. Thank you, Jen!

The Lovely Bones by Alice Sebold

I've been wanting to read this one since I saw the movie! I mentioned that I was going to look for this at my local used bookstore and Joli at Actin' Up With Books emailed and said she had both this and The Notebook. Thank you, Joli!

The Notebook by Nicholas Sparks

I also mentioned in the same post that I wanted to look for more Nicholas Sparks books, because I found Dear John at the local Goodwill. Thank you for this one, too, Joli!

That's what I got for RAK this month and I'm absolutely ecstatic! I can't wait to be able to send books for this wonderful feature!

In My Mailbox (12) and May RAK

In My Mailbox is hosted by Kristi at The Story Siren and is a weekly meme to showcase what you got over the week by buying, receiving, borrowing, stealing from a friend etc.

For Review:

Cascade by Lisa T. Bregren

Excited about this one. The first sounds good and I’m currently reading it (only on page 21).

 

Contest:

Spells (Wings #2) by Aprilynne Pike

I won this from Cath at My Book Chatter. I also won some swag. There was an adorable bracelet, a button, some canddyyyyyy, and bookmarks! So thank you :).

 

 

That’s it for IMM! Now for May RAK I got..

Firespell by Chloe Neill

 

I received this from Emily at What Book Is That? Thank you so much Emily, I’m sure I’ll enjoy this!

For Review (from Luxury Reading):

Stay by Deb Caletti

This one is very good so far!

Tomorrow Girls: Behind the Gates by Eva Gray

This one is also very enjoyable. I believe this one might be more middle grade fiction?

RAK:

Firespell (The Dark Elite #1) by Chloe Neill

I’ve been wanting to read this one for a while (hello, boarding schools and paranormal stuff = awesome), and I will finally be able to thanks to Emily from What Book Is That?! So thank you Emily :).

 

I think that’s it for this week! What did you get in your mailbox?

April RAK

RAK, for those of you that haven’t heard of it is Random Acts of Kindness and what you do is you sign up each month and share your wishlist of books and people randomly send you a book on your list they either have an extra of or they straight up buy it for you! How cool is that?

 

So for April I got one RAK:

Shadowspell (Faerie Walker #2) by Jenna Black

Amber at AwesomeSauce Book Club sent me this because she saw I had this on my wishlist and had an extra!

Thank you so much Amber!

 

I really would like to send some RAKs out, but I don’t have a job currently except babysitting every week or every other week, so I haven’t really had cash coming in besides that and had debts yadda yadda, so I will try to get a RAK out to someone soon !
