@Notherereally1 I bought my daughter 'Her Dark Wings' for her birthday, she said it was one of the best books she has ever read, she couldn't put it down. I also bought her 'The Year Book', 'When Fishes Flew' and 'Jayne Eyre', all very much enjoyed.

My dd13 is really loving the Percy Jackson books at the moment and is devouring each one an alarming speed. My older dd at a similar age really enjoyed a set of YA books about a skeleton detective (can’t remember the name sorry)

@Notherereally1 - Leather probably means Skulduggery Pleasant books, and yes, they were a big hit at that age.

@Notherereally1 how about Judy Blooms Forever, I loved this book as a teen!

@Notherereally1 My son is really enjoying Antony Horowitz The Power of Five series. I am an English teacher and I am really enjoying them too. They're really exciting.

I am also really enjoying the Secrets of Nicholas Flamel series by Michael Scott. Really clever.

LEGO 76900 Speed Champions Koenigsegg Jesko Racing Sports Car down to £12.99 on amazon

Just had my Vans delivered. Thank you OP for the code

Might be worth a read through first - my (generally mature) 12 year old would be traumatised by sex stories!

I bought my niece Divergent by Veronica Roth a few years ago and it’s still her favourite. I love Patrick Ness’s Chaos Walking Series which is a YA series. I always look out for Marcus Sedgwick, Meg Rosoff and Ruta Sepetys as authors.

Just ordered my Sephora/Feel Unique box by signing up for a 12 month subscription it was £1.95 delivered for first box with a free gift pouch. There are some good sized products too, most of mine were 50ml.

Plan is once I've had it to email their customer service to cancel so > fingers crossed < no chance of being stung with ongoing cost.

Shall post the contents when they are here!

I haven’t read it yet but like the look of ‘You’ll be the Death of Me: TikTok made me buy it.’ By Karen McManus.

Thanks everyone for the book recommendations. Have made a note of them all, now off to find bargain prices for them 😊

I’m sure I saw someone saying you couldn’t cancel this one on another site, you may want to look into it before it arrives.

Anyone know what a good price for a Dualit milk frother might be? Current £54 most places.
Whittards have a £10 of £50 spend (and also Topcashback will give me a bit extra off). Likely to be any less Black Friday does anyone know?

I checked the Ts and Cs and there is definitely a 14 day cooling off period to cancel, annoyingly it has to be by contacting them but I'll make sure I diarise or do a soon as I get this box whichever comes first.

I think I'll definitely need to watch though as if they have dispatch delays it could be tight. I'll perhaps wait till I've been billed and had just dispatch confirmation, may be a bit sooner to sort

Those looking for books- my 9 year old is loving the amari books (amari and the lightening thief is the first). All mystical, off to school etc, but a bit different. I have enjoyed reading them with her.

@Favouritefruits I think Are You There God, It's Me Margaret is a better Judy Blume choice for a 12 year old, I absolutely loved it.

Must have been a glitch as codes aren't working at all now

Hi,
I'm looking for one of those sandscape things. Where you tip them upside down and sand drips down and forms different shapes?! They have some on Amazon but the quality doesn't look great. TIA

Also, does anyone know where I can find nice, recyclable wrapping paper that is not too expensive?

Yeah sorry I posted a few minutes later to say it was no longer working

Most places do recyclable wrapping paper now. Depends how "nice" you want it to be, but Aldi had some nice prints at 99p for 10m

Yes!!! Thank you they’re the ones. skulduggery Pleasant. Sorry, I wasn’t very helpful was I? 🙄🤣

Christmas question more than a bargain but is there anywhere that sells the christmas chronicles merch? I'm looking for the tracker bauble

£10 off £30+ spend, £20 off £60+, £30 off £90+ and £40 off £ 120+ at buy a gift with code OTTERSAVE. I’ve bought my DH West Ham legend tour which I think he’ll love! £60 down from £90 with code.

It's £56 on the Very website
