Christmas Book Haul!!

Merry Christmas everyone! I hope you all had a great Christmas and got all the books you may have asked for. Today I am going to be doing my first proper book haul but since I am still in hospital I do not have proper pictures of the books I got so you will just have to bare with me on that one...ok on with the book haul.

The following books I got for Christmas off Santa:



I also received these books from family members:

Those were all the books I received off of others this year..and to any normal person that would seem like a lot of books but me at about midnight on Christmas Day obviously didn't think so as I went on amazon and proceeded to buy myself...11 books (6 of them were kindle editions though!)...what the heck it's Christmas! why not buy more books!

The following books I bought for my kindle:



(you can tell I pick the books that I want to read that have the girliest covers to go on my kindle so I don't have to have such girly covers on my bookshelf...)

These books I bought in physical form for myself on Amazon:



Now that I have it all typed out my book buying problem seems scary to me...17 books..that's a lot of books. To be fair the way I work when it comes to buying books is instead of buying 2 or 3 books every month for the entire year, I stockpile on books when it comes to my birthday and Christmas so I just get loads of books at those two times of the year and it does me till my next birthday or Christmas.

what did you get for Christmas? Did you get any books? if so comment below what books YOU got. That's all for now- Sarah

Mini Haul: Swapit Win!

This is just going to be a short post as I am very excited for what arrived at my door recently and the story behind how it came to land on my doorstep!

The other day I came home to find a package from a website called Swapit.co.uk
I had been eagerly anticipating this package to arrive for a few days and when it finally came I was so happy! This is what was inside:

The Harry Potter Colouring Book! I won this book from a bid on Swapit.co.uk...so I basically got it completely free! To be honest I was so happy when it arrived because I didn't know if Swapit was legit or not, but now that I know you CAN actually win things, I am going to share this site with you guys.

I found this website called Swapit in the summer as I was bored one day and went on a free stuff frenzy..I wanted to see could I earn money online, win stuff,etc. because let's be honest when your bored in Summer what teen doesn't look up these kind of things. Anyway I never really found anything worth my while that was available for residents of Ireland, but then I came across Swapit!

Basically you can Play Games, Watch Videos, Do Surveys, Swap your unwanted stuff and more in order to earn points called swapits which you can then trade in for awesome prizes as you can see from my brand new colouring book!

If I am to be honest with you I have never swapped anything I only do the weekly survey for 50 points and most of the swaps from other users are very bad but where you find all the good prizes is in the frenzies hosted by the swapit website themselves. In these frenzies you can use your collected points to bid on prizes and if you win the bid you get the prize...simple.

I spent 2000 swapits on this book, which may seem like a lot but I had 4000+ saved since the summer and I was not letting anyone else take it from me. I am very happy with this and would recommend you sign up to this website if you live in the UK or Ireland, if you live in the UK you have some advantages on earning more swapits!

In case you wanted to see here is a page I have started to complete in the colouring book:

That is all I have to say for now as I have to go get my colour on! See you guys soon - Sarah
