Things to look forward to
Top Ten Tuesday this week is about Top Ten Books I'd Recommend For People Who Liked Author X

Summer is awesome here this year. I am all about the outdoor reading by the pool, or on those super hot days the alternate reading by the pool and jumping into it. I still have some new things in the works, so stay tuned. It is taking a little longer than I thought.

RAK

Since it is the end of the month it is time for my RAK wrap up post!

Books I Received:

Firelight by Kristen Callihan
From Danielle at Ramblings From This Chick

I am sooo excited to read this book! When I found in online earlier this year, it sounded really interesting and not something that I read all the time.

Thanks, Danielle!




Books That I Sent:

One Night in London by Caroline Linden
To Danielle at Book Whore

I am not sure if Danielle got it yet as I sent it out toward the end of the month. But I have read some Caroline Linden before and really enjoyed the book. Hopefully she will enjoy this one as well.






Let me know any feedback. Also if you have some cool links, comment with them! Until next Sunday, have a great week!

RAK: May Wrap-Up Post

Hello! What a fun first month this was for me here with RAK!

Books I Received:
Divergent by Veronica Roth
From Doodle at Doodlebugs Books

I have been seeing this book float around for awhile now so it will be exciting to actually read it and see what y'all are talking about!






Ender's Game by Orson Scott Card
From Kayla at Bibliophilia, Please

I've been wanting to read this book for ages! Now I should be able to get to it soon and finally appease those who have been asking if I have read this yet.








Since I am out of the country and have not checked my mailbox, there is one more that I should be getting, but I will include it on the next month because I won't see it until June anyway :)


Books That I Sent:
An Affair with Mr. Kennedy by Vanessa Stone
To Danielle at Ramblings From This Chick

I really liked this book and when I saw it on her wishlist I just had to share!








Dearly, Departed by Lia Habel
To Kayla at Bibliophilia, Please

Not going to lie, I chose this because I highly liked the cover!









My blogging hiatus will continue again after this as I am usually pooped when I get back to the hotel from a day full of exploring and experiencing the culture of Japan. Regular posts will resume again June 6th or 7th. :D

Mod Post: TTT and RAK

Hello everyone! Happy May Day to you all! It was a cloudy dreary where I am today, but the sun managed to peek out a little.

Three things:

FIRST: Today is Top Ten Tuesday and my list is the one over on The Broke and the Bookish. I feel like most of you follow both, but just in case you don't and are curious, my Top Ten Books I'd Like to See As a Movie are over there!

SECOND: For the month of May I have decided to take part in Book Soulmates Random Acts of Kindness (RAK). What this means is that I sign up on a list which includes my wishlist (now a helpful link in my menu bar). Then people somehow chose who they want to send an RAK to and contact them for their info (a little shady... but you can check out the people).

The cool part is while new books are probably the most happily accepted, people are asking for gently used already read ARCs, eBooks, etc.

Which you sign the list to receive, it is also required that you give to at least one person. It doesn't have to be a book or new, handmade things are even welcome. It's just that they want people to give to.

I am not sure what I am more excited about, the giving or the receiving.

HOW THIS AFFECTS YOU: What I've decided is that if there is a book I get that I read and don't feel the need to keep for whatever reason, I will pass it on in a giveaway (sadly most likely US only, depending on how poor I am that month).

I am really excited about this whole business!!

THIRD: I changed the name of the website so it actually match the URL. It was getting rather long and I've been abbreviating it CompBiblio for a while now. I like it :)
