RAK: February Wishlist

It's February 1st, which means a new month of RAK. After taking a couple of months off, I'm participating again this month.

Want in on the fun? Here's the rules from lovely RAK hosts Book Soulmates

{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 and 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!!

Here's my Top Five from my wishlist (no particular order):

1. The Renfield Syndrome by J.A. Saare
2. Anna Dressed In Blood by Kendare Blake
3. The Calling by Kelley Armstrong
4. Harbinger by Sarah Wilson Etienne

Sent:
Deceived by the Others by Jess Haines to Natasha

This was a bit of a screw-up by the post office. For July, I tried to send the book to Natasha, but I guess someone in U.S. or Canadian customs was interested in the book also! So, for August I tried again, with a copy that I managed to get signed and a t-shirt from the author.

Received:
Nothing for August
