RAK is a chance to give books to and receive books from other book loving people. You sign up each month with a wishlist, and then choose other people to send books to. In a perfect month you give as many, or more, books than you receive. At the end of the month you share the goodies you got and sent.
Sign-ups and lists of participating people for the month are viewable at Book Soulmates.
This month was better for RAKs, at least in terms of equality. I sent and received the same number of books during the month.
Received:
Storm Front (The Dresden Files #1) by Jim Butcher – from Melissa at Writer Grrl Reads
The Giver by Lois Lowry - from Adam at Roof Beam Reader
Sent: The Pledge by Kimberly Derting- to Shayna at ShaynaGier.com
My Wishlist:
I prefer either paperback or ebook (for my Sony reader from either the Sony Store or Smashwords).

Hope you enjoy The Giver! It's one of my favorites (probably the book that turned me into a “reader”).
