 This is where we post what we have to give away at no cost or obligation to the person receiving.....

For our purposes, a Random Act of Kindness (to be referred to as a RAOK) is defined as something nice one PBS member does for another PBS member with NO CREDITS changing hands!  The  idea  is for people to post  items they are willing to send another member FREE of charge or credits (including shipping). This is a great way to make someone's day at the same time that you can declutter your house of things you no longer need/use but weren't  sure you wanted to discard.  NOTE:  Some of us don't remember every member's nickname, so it is helpful to write that by your address label, when you send a RAOK, to make it easier for receiving members to thank you.

The  way to do this,  is to list items to this thread that you are willing to send as RAOKs the way we list damaged books/ARCs/etc. in the Book Bazaar, and make them first come, first serve. When an item has been spoken for, please cross it off or delete it from your post. You might want to show who got it but that's up to you. Just  make sure you update as frequently as possible so that no one is disappointed. Please everyone just use one post each and keep it updated.     NOTE:  Before posting a ROAK, please check this month's *** I Wish thread to see if you are able to fill a members' Wish, first.  This is especially true for Coke codes, boxtops for education, etc.

If you see something you'd like,  PM the member with your address.  To post things you are wishing for, see the *** Monthly I WIsh thread.***  And to keep these threads clean and easy to read, please use the ***Monthly Thank you thread*** to thank people for things you have received.  Always let the members know, either in a PM or Thank You that you rec'd the item so they know it's not lost.

Obviously since RAOKs are free but cost the sender shipping, if you request a RAOK from someone and they aren't able to ship it for a while, please be patient!  Please mark out items as they are taken so other members are not disappointed 

  If you have questions, please feel free to PM me and ask. We are happy to help our RAOKer friends, old and new!

Here are the items I can send out this month:

Clearing out some more Comic*Con 2010 swag items, I found these large postcards that might as well be mini posters. They are 7in high and 5in wide. They display the covers of a few titles that, at the time of Comic*Con, were newly released. The postcards depict the following books:

Guardian of the Gate by Michelle Zink

Ghostgirl: Lovesick by Tonya Hurley

The Prince of Mist by Carlos Ruiz Zafon

Ship Breaker by Paolo Bacigalupi

Thirteen Days to Midnight by Patrick Carman

  ---

I have samplers from Comic*Con 2010. If you don't know, a sampler is a small booklet that has sample chapters from soon-to-be-released books (though, by now, I think these have all been released). Handy if you want to read a chapter and see if it's worth the money/credits.

- Dust by Joan Frances Turner

- The Ranger's Apprentice by John Flanagan

- Collection sampler: Star Wars The Clone Wars, Batman the Brave and the Bold, Chaotic, Tiny Titans

- Marvel Comics Sneak Peek issue from December

 ---

I have a DVD sampler of sequel books from Comic*Con. It features excerpts, meet the author, audio exceprts, book trailers: The Dead-Tossed Waves by Carrie Ryan, Rebel Angels by Libba Bray, Kisses and Lies by Lauren Henderson, Nobody's Prize by Esther Friesner, Frogs & French Kisses by Sarah Mlynowski, and Bloodhound by Hamora Pierce

---

 PM me with your requests!  :)

(IMPORTANT NOTE: To anyone requesting items from me, I am swamped in school work as I come to the end of my last semester of college. So I beg your paitence if it takes me some time to mail out your item. If it requires a certain rush [like a birthday gift or something like that] please let me know if your PM and I'll do my best to make a trip to the mailroom, though I can make no promises. Thanks for understanding!)

Hi, Hi!

  • Blue Heaven by C.J Box - A novel by the New York Times best seller of author of free fire. *ADVANCED READER'S EDITION
    -- From Amazon.com

    From Publishers Weekly

    At the start of this overly complicated thriller from bestseller Box, his first stand-alone, siblings Annie and William Taylor, ages 12 and 10, witness a gruesome murder in the woods outside the small Idaho town of Kootenai Bay, nicknamed Blue Heaven for its abundance of retired LAPD officers. Annie and William make a run for it after they're spotted by the killers, a group of crooked LAPD cops who retired to Idaho eight years earlier after pulling a complicated heist in California that left a man dead. Rancher Jess Rawlins becomes the children's only hope of survival after they take refuge in his barn. Jess must stay one step ahead of the killers, who have volunteered to help the local authorities investigate the children's disappearance. Annie and William's mother is frantic, as the scheming officers try to persuade her the children are gone for good. A subplot involving a retired California detective pursuing the original robbery case adds too many extra characters and undercuts the suspense. Readers expecting the same brisk story lines as the author's Joe Pickett crime novels (Free Fire, etc.) will be disappointed. 100,000 first printing; author tour. (Jan.)
