iTunes 12 Days of Christmas 2011

As usual, Apple did their annual 21 Days of Christmas on iTunes. To celebrate the end of the year, and the start of a new year, Apple gave away music, music videos, TV shows, books and apps all for free. iTunes users could login to iTunes and download the free giveaway items, or if they had an iPod Touch, iPhone or iPad then they could download the iTunes 12 Days of Christmas Application to be notified when there is a new giveaway and download them. However, not all iDevice users could download the app since it was not available to older generations, which resulted in numerous complaints.

The table below shows everything that Apple gave away this year:

Day One Songs and video clips of Coldplay.
Day Two Episodes of Top Gear and The Trip.
Day Three Lady Gaga’s single, Marry The Night
Day Four Jo Nesbo’s bestseller The Redbreast.
Day Five Sonic & SEGA All Stars Racing application.
Day Six David Guetta’s song, Nothing But The Beat (Party Mix).
Day Seven Nik Software’s Snapseed application.
Day Eight One Direction EP.
Day Nine Episodes of NBC’s shows 30 Rock and House.
Day Ten EA’s Shift 2 Application.
Day Eleven Lonely Planet’s guide to travel in 2012.
Day Twelve Foo Fighters songs and videos: Arlandria, Everlong and Walk.

Hopefully Apple decides to do this great giveaway next year as well!

Today you can get your hands on Norwegian writer Jo Nesbo’s bestselling fiction hardback The Redbreast, voted the Best Norwegian Crime Novel of All Time by a strong collective of influential Norwegian book clubs in 2004.

This gruesome crime novel chronicles the journey of vetran police officer and recovering alcoholic Harry Hole who, after unexpectedly being promoted to inspector, is assigned the task of investigating neo-Nazi activities in Norway. All seems to be running smoothly until things take a very nasty turn.

Here’s what the critics have to say:

“Nobody can delve into the dark, twisted mind of a murderer better than a Scandinavian thriller writer.”
- Vogue

“I place Nesbo high up on the Scandinavian mystery league.”
- Marcel Berlins, The Times

“Exciting, witty, melancholy and thought-provoking, and he is well-served by his elegant translator, Don Bartlett, whom I bet many foreign crime novelists would kill to get hold of.”
- Daily Telegraph

“A page-turner you won’t want to put down.”
- Time Out

“Scary… culminates in a nail-biting episode with overtones of The Day of the Jackal.”
– Independent
