Random Acts of Kindness: March 2012 Wrap-up

I cannot believe this month is over already!


This is my first time participating in and the turn out was great! As I've always said I believe it's more about giving then receiving, although seeing something arrive for you is a wonderful feeling. "What is this? Ohmygosh! Someone got me something!" It is great feeling to both have an to give.

I'm so sorry to anyone that featured me in a In My Mailbox that I didn't reply or comment to. I know didn't get around to everyone in time and I apologize for that.
As it's my first real month blogging I've been a bit bogged down with process of balancing my time, trying to figure out works (and what doesn't), and generally finding my own pace of everything.

Free Finds and Random Acts of Kindness

Anyone notice all the sales on Amazon this week? Because I sure did!

It's is really difficult to ignore those sales.. I get lost browsing though all the different sections looking for a deal, reading summaries, and of course picking through all the reviews to see if a [new] book is good.


Here's a list of free stuff I snagged recently,
Anathema (Cloud Prophet Trilogy, Book 1) by Megg Jensen
Pretty Witches All in a Row by Lisa Olsen
Chosen (The Guardians of the Word) by Jolea M. Harrison
A Witch's Curse (The Rose Whelan Series, Book # 1) by Nicole Lee
The Vampire Hunter's Daughter: Part I by Jennifer Malone Wright
Coexist (Keegan's Chronicles #1) by Julia Crane
Glimpse (Zellie Wells) by Stacey Wallace Benefiel
Exiled (Immortal Essence Series) RaShelle Workman
Peter and the Vampires (Volume One) by Darren Pillsbury
Six Moon Summer (Seasons of the Moon) by SM Reine
Katie's Hellion (Book I, Rhyn Trilogy) by Lizzy Ford

I am really looking forward to reading
Coexist by Julia Crane along with,
The Vampire Hunter's Daughter: Part I by Jennifer Malone Wright
Anathema (Cloud Prophet Trilogy, Book 1) by Megg Jensen
Katie's Hellion (Book I, Rhyn Trilogy) by Lizzy Ford

I will admit a few of these looked iffy but I read a lot of self-published, random sort of books thanks to Amazon and Kindle. It's terrible, but I'm so cheap! I can't pass up a good deal.


Today I stumbled across Random Acts of Kindness, or simply RAK. Pretty much people post their name, blog, wishlist, and people send books. HOW COOL.


It's all about giving. Doing something nice, while hoping in return someone else will do the same, but not expecting. It's always better to give an receive. It honestly doesn't bother me if I get things are not. Giving is good enough.

I have decided to sent myself a budget and give 5 books this month. I went through most of the list and choose a few people. Some have already been sent while others have been contacted.

I'm really happy to be giving things away. I know I can't give much, but people still appreciate it. Making others happy makes me happy.

Go here for all the details and rules for Random Acts of Kindness!

My wishlist and a little blurb about me is over here.
