X Factor Tickets + Hotel

A fab fab prize!! Won tickets to the X Factor live final in Manchester! I am such a fan of this show  so to see it live was such a good experience, and was interesting to see all that goes on behind the scenes. Plus I also got a free nights stay plus breakfast at a 4* star hotel (the Renaissance Manchester). The hotel was great and our room was absolutely massive!! Very pleased indeed!


Value: Tickets are always free, just very hard to come by (so you could say they are priceless!) I never saw the bill for the hotel, but I think on average rooms are £99.

A Half Forgotten Song

Won a copy of 'A half forgotten song' by Katherine Webb. Will update when I've had a chance to read it!

Value: £3.86 on Amazon (£7.99 RRP)
2012 Total: £390.50

Update: It took me a really long time to get round to reading this but it was worth the wait! I thought this was really good, I liked the way the two plots intertwined and the jumps between the past and present helped keep the pace moving along nicely (the past was more interesting though I thought, and actually I feel like I could have read a whole book just about that.) It really picks up in the latter half of the book, and most of the twists are very unexpected. I did feel that the overall ending kind of let the whole thing down as it was all a bit of an anticlimax, but I would still completely recommend the novel.
