Thanks OP. Very pleased with book bundles which arrived yesterday. :j
Do you think if I ordered another dark fantasy book bundle there would be different books? Did anyone get breaking dawn in their dark fantasy bundle? It sounds like people have ordered the same book bundles and received different books. Can they be returned if I order another set and they are the same? Thanks.

Loads of new bundles have been added. These include 10 Thomas Books, Activity books for boys/girls, Dr Who, Horrible Histories and loads more (unless I missed all these last week!) .

My books arrived today and I'm not impressed with the puzzle bundle. The picture shows a nice mixture of books - inreality there are 8 killer suduko and 2 normal suduko. They will be going back next week

I picked mine up on Thursday at my local store. I was disappointed to find 2 titles the same (the bundle was 5 books). I emailed them and they were going to send me a replacement pack, however, i then received another email apologising that they were unable to do that as they had gone oos, but, that as a gesture of goodwill they have refunded the full cost of the bundle back to my card and i keep the books.
So a big :T to Whsmith customer services. :xmassign:

All my bundles came through, the best bundles were the preschool bundles which came with 13 items in each (lucky for some :T). 25 different items (only 1 title repeated in the 2 bundles) in total :j Each bundle had 2 That's Not My... books, one had a bath book, the other a glove/finger puppet book, each had a small set of 5 books, as well as lots of other nice stuff.

Girls activities, boys activities and picture books were all very samey, each of these bundles had 5 titles repeated. Some nice usborne sticker books in there. I would not recommend ordering multiples of these bundles.

Real life stories bundles both had completely separate titles, but most books along the lines of people being abused as children, so not much variety in content. Also a couple of books were fiction (about abused children), not real life.

2 Thomas bundles only had 2 titles repeated.

2 Mr Men/ Little Miss had a mix of titles and each bundle had a sparkle title.

Both pregnancy bundles were identical and both will be returned as it is similar to stuff I have or I am not interested in it, an Annabel Karmel weaning book, baby name book (looks like a good one but I have a few already), baby journal, Dummies guide to pregnancy, and a day by day DK book about pregnancy which looks alright, but not worth keeping the whole bundle for.

I got one of these books in the previous cookbook bundle being offered and I love them... the recipes aren't overly complicated, are tasty and don't require dozens of ingredients!

On the downside, the delivery appears to be 4+ weeks but if you're willing to wait then I'd recommend them

Had an email to say that education bundles have now been added. They are mixed maths/english/handwriting etc. for either key stage 1 (up to school year 2) or key stage 2 (school years 3 to 6). There is also an Oxford reading tree bundle. Lots of the original bundles still in stock too...so tempting!

Some of the kids bundles would be great for party bags - the non-education ones of course - unless you are feeling really mean!

e.g. Captain underpants for age 6-10 boys

Well I ordered the true life bundle on 23rd Dec, eventually after much chasing it arrived at my local WHS last Friday, 20th Jan, picked up on Monday and every book is a story about an abused girl!!! Not at all what I was after. Anyway they say I can take them back and get a full refund so feel OK about it.
