Treasures and Finds+ April Recap

Hello to all,

                        May is there and hopefully it means that the sun will be there more often than the rain but, so far, here rain is winning.
April has been a difficult month for me as my mother had a stroke and i've been taking care of her and the house,thankfully she is slowly recovering as it was a minor one however it left me quite stressed aside being busy....so i can hope May will get better and better in all domain.

Anyway thank you a lot for your patience and for your gifts and comments!

April RAK Sign up

Hello to all,

                   Welcome to a new month of Random Act of Kindness created by the girls ( Isalys and Vanessa) from Booksoulmates to share the love of books between the blogger from all around the world.

I'm really happy to participate once again, i had my most wonderful experience last month ( more than 1 year after i started to participate) and it really motivated me to continue to try my best to share the love despite the less happy experience i also encountered.

So don't forget to write if you want handmade gift, if i don't contact you this month i could still mark you on my list for a future time.

Happy RAK!

This month, i'm number 18 on the list. If you want to grant me a RAK, please send me an email at isabelle(dot)frisch(at)gmail(dot)com and i will give you my information.

I have a long wishlist but that way everyone can find something they like and in their budget. I also accept gently used books from no smoking house (allergic), but i'm international so the shipping without bookdepository can be expensive. 

You can find my complete wishlist here and if i have to choose some favorite ( always difficult) in no particular order ( but really any book from my wishlist is fine):

-Taking a shot ( play by play3) by Jaci Burton

-A fantasy Medley 2 by Yanni Kuznia ( for the rat catcher novella by seanan Mcguire, i've become a fan of Tybalt^^;;)

-Alpha instinct by Katie Reus
-Exiled by MR Merrick
-Walking Disaster by Jamie McGuire
-Etiquette and Espionnage by Gail Garringer

- Cursed by Jennifer L Armentrout

-In a fix by Linda Grimes

-An heiress at heart by jennifer Delamere

-Othermoon by nina Berry

ps: i don't accept ebook normally but there is a small exception for the pdf files of the Tales from the archives ( short stories from the ministry of peculiar occurences) by pip ballantine and Tee Morris. It exist only in digital so far and i'm a fan of this series and fortunately they are on smashword in all format ( included pdf) so the list for that is:

Tales from the Archives collection 2
Tales from the Archives collection 3
Tales from the Archives collection 4

Happy RAK to all participants and don't forget to write if you accept/want handmade gifts either in the right case on the form or in the comments!

April RAK wrap-up

Hello to all,

                  Now it's time for our monthly Random Act of Kindness wrap-up. April wasn't a good month but i still enjoy this adventure and concept a lot so we will see what May will be but first, a RAK of March that i wasn't able to put in the last wrap up.

March, RAK received from Mary @Sweeping Me


Thanks you so so much again










In April i've sent two handmade bookmarks. One to Kat at  The Aussie Zombie, she chose a bird and you can have a look of it in her vlog ( it's the last item of it)  Happy Birthday again

I've also send one to Amada from the Hippies Beauty and Books Oh My!  for her birthday and it was a dolphin.        

And in April, i've received no RAK.

Thanks you to all participants and to Booksoulmates for this great idea.
