This Is Awesome...



Oh, and my publishers would like me to include the Amazon link so you can pre-order this wonderful, wonderful book. Now, normally I hate linking to ANYTHING that has to do with selling my own books... and this is no exception...

(oh, and I also have no idea how these words ended up in the middle of the page like this, but hey...)

This is the link:


Whether you use it or not is up to you.

PS

The colour for this one is shiny GOLD.

PPS

I think now is the time to applaud one Mister Tom Percival.

Nixion Strange said...

Miss Cain; The Aussie Ninja Stalker said...

Look at the 2nd top comment. It's a reply. I totally agree with this reply. Look at the comment it's replying to and you'll understand...

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

*turns around and nearly has a heart attack* OH MY GOD! I need to turn my poster around!

Miss Cain; The Aussie Ninja Stalker said...

gtg

Nixion Strange said...

Bye Miss Cain

Lynxia Lost said...

???
... Er, what Val?

Lynxia Lost said...

Bye Cainy!

Nixion Strange said...

I feel the urge to get some chations annyoed at me for some reason...

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

There is a giant Melancholia on my wall. I need to flip it back to the other side.

Lynxia Lost said...

Don't Nix...


OK Val.

Nixion Strange said...

I'm definatly going to talk to Dragona next time I see him

Lynxia Lost said...

Because then they'll all hate you and not all of them are bad. In fact, the majority are very nice.

Nixion Strange said...

No, I just get annoyed by Dragona

Lynxia Lost said...

I know. He's ok when he's not raving about Flame.

Nixion Strange said...

He bans people if they change their pic! or their name!
And he shouldn't be able to speak about anyone like that. Flame deserves better

Lynxia Lost said...

I know he does but, honestly, I'm not getting into this. Not again.

Nixion Strange said...

Okay
It doesn't matter. He never comes on anything anyway

Nixion Strange said...

Damn, it's almost 3
I gotta go, Be on tomorrow
*kisses Lynxia*
Bye!

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

Bye Nix

Lynxia Lost said...

*kisses back* Bye Nix! I told you to get some sleep! ;)

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

Agh, no kissing

Lynxia Lost said...

Gah, sorry Val. *holds up hands but smirks*

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

*gives Lynxia evil look*

Lynxia Lost said...

*smiles more* What's up Val? Squeamish?

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

*continues wih the evil look*

Lynxia Lost said...

*sits down* I'm having fun.

Lynxia Lost said...

Because I'm annoying you.

You've got a bad cough there. You should see a doctor.

Lynxia Lost said...

*is still sitting*

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

Yes, maybe I should see a doctor...


*makes a phone call* Hello? Oh, hi there River. Is the Doctor around...? I'm in Blogland. Yes, yes, you guys should all come. Well, someone told me I needed a Doctor. Right, okay, see you in a minute.


*watches the TARDIS appear*

Lynxia Lost said...

I have to go now! Bye! *hugs Val, still smirking*

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

*mutters something about planning Lynxia's death*


Bye!

Sir said...

So, am I alone?

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

No

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

Wait, yes

Sir said...

So... That's brilliant.

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

Back

Lavender Hope said...

*moans*
My clock stopped working and I thought it was 8:15 for a while...

It was so much later. Thank goodness it's the weekend.


I've been trying(and failing) to wake up early, even on weekends, but yeah. I'm failing...

Hi. Oh wait. No, bye. I gotta start the laundry now. Bbl!

Lavender Hope said...

Hi, I'm back.

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

Hello. Hey I posted something on my Blog... Basically a bunch of pictures...


bringingskulduggerytothemasses.blogspot.com


I wrote people's names in calligraphy if you want to look. I wrote your name, too.

Lavender Hope said...

Cool. :)

Yeah, I'll take a look.

Lavender Hope said...

Commented!

I was going to comment here, but I decided to put it on your post instead.

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

Thanks Lav!


I wish I could stay, but I have to get dressed and go out... Bye!

Lavender Hope said...

You can't write M in calligraphy? Is it just that you didn't learn yet? My mom learned calligraphy at school. Is that where you learned, or are you teaching yourself?

Sorry for the bombardment of questions. ^^'

Lavender Hope said...

Oh, that's fine. Ignore the questions then. Bye!

Lavender Hope said...

Why do we have to live in different time zones? It so confusing and when it's Saturday here, it's Sunday on the other side of the world. And all the good things happen when I'm asleep cause it's daytime in that other half of the world...

Being in America has many disadvantages...
*wishes to live in Australia or somewhere in Europe*

Rose Black said...

Hi guys!

Lavender Hope said...

Hi Rose! :)

Sorry, I'm the only one on at the mo.

Rose Black said...

Np. I'm also on the chat, so I'm talking to plenty of people. :)

Lavender Hope said...

Oh, okay. :)

Rose Black said...

When people say L, are they referring to you, or Lynixa, or someone else?

Lavender Hope said...

Luciana, that's what a lot of people call her. Although her other nicknames are Lu, Luce, and Lucy.

Rose Black said...

Kay thanks.

Lavender Hope said...

Np. :) brb.

Rose Black said...

Kay.

Lavender Hope said...

Back.

Lavender Hope said...

I'm gonna be distant though.

Rose Black said...

Wb. And me too.

Rose Black said...

Do you know how many comments per page?

Lavender Hope said...

200 per page. Why?

Rose Black said...

I was wondering whether or not we were close to a new page.

Lavender Hope said...

Oh, okay. Yeah, we're still about 90 comments away.

Rose Black said...

Damn. -.-

Star Inkbright said...

I told someone on goodreads that AF got better with rereads and they asked what I got out the rereads that I didn't get the first time . . .

Lav, you've read AF. Help me. Please.

Lavender Hope said...

Hi Star. Sorry, I didn't really get that... what do you mean?

Star Inkbright said...

*is sorting out explanation clearly*

Someone wrote a book review.

On goodreads.com.

The book review said AF was bad

I commented saying it wasn't.

I said i got more out of AF with rereads.

The person who wrote the review asked what. In a friendly way, i'm making them sound like they saod it nastily . . .

Star Inkbright said...

*said

So; HELP!

Rose Black said...

Oh, Hi Star!

Lavender Hope said...

Oh. Okay. Can I see the link, if that's okay?

Star Inkbright said...

Hi people, btw!

Direct quote:

"My problem with this book was that I didn't notice any jokes or witticism at all It wasn't that I saw a joke and thought'this isn't funny to me', I don't remember there being many instances of humor at all in Colfer's writing. How would you typify his sense of humor? What about his writing do you find funny?

You say you get more from the series the more you read it. In your mind, what else is there to pick up? What sorts of new insights come up in further readings?"

Lavender Hope said...

I might be able to help more if I know what they're talking about.

Star Inkbright said...

http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/203434528?utm_medium=email&utm_source=comment_instant#comment_51117248

There, lavender. I'm Star, obviously.

Lavender Hope said...

Thanks. Although... well, I'll help out with everything I can remember about the first AF. Cause I don't have it. I used to but... I don't really want to say what happened to it.

I remember things from it though, and maybe you can help with the things I forgot.

*goes to see the link*

Star Inkbright said...

Oh, msd.

Star Inkbright said...

AF1 is the only AF book i have. I use my school library a lot.

Lavender Hope said...

Well, I find a lot of things funny.

But each time I reread it, I would get to understand the characters more and how funny they can be. Like Root's sarcasm or the dwarf jokes or how you could see the change in Artemis at the end of the book. He gave up half the ransom money to heal his mom. Even if, at the end, Argon said it was only so the child agencies don't start questioning him.

That's just the non-detailed way of putting it.

Lavender Hope said...

To actually quote from the book would take a while to type out... and I'd probably forget details.

Star Inkbright said...

Here's what i've got so far:

"What did i find funny? One of the things was the "I don't like lollipops" bit, followed by Artemis accidently shouting "Lollipops!" at Butler throufh his walkie-talkie instead of telling him to take cover. I suppose what I found funny was the fact that we'd just heard about lollipops being a word Artemis wouldn't want to use, so when he shouted it at Butler he must have been mortified, which I found funny, although that probably is a bit mean of me . . . Butler was very puzzled as to why Artemis had said lollipops, so I suppose I found it funny that Artekis, who is supposed to be ever so calm and controlled, is losing his cool and blurting out things he doesn't mean ."

Agree/disagree?

Star Inkbright said...

Thanks a lot, lavender:)

Lavender Hope said...

I'd forgotten that bit, but now that you reminded me, I started cracking up! Yeah, that part was funny.

No problem, I'm glad to help in any way I can. :)

Star Inkbright said...

I didn't crack up . . .

And I laughed very little at that dam percy jackson book yesterday. I'm mortified. I suppose funnyness fades with rereads after it increases . . .

Lavender Hope said...

Well, I haven't read it as much, or as long, I suppose, cause I don't have either of those books. So when I DO read them, they're still funny to me.

Lavender Hope said...

*now has the want to go to a bookstore*

Lavender Hope said...

brb

Star Inkbright said...

K lavender.

Well, just thinking about funny parts sometimes diminishes their funniness . . . And OF COURSE they're funny, just not AS funny:(

Rose Black said...

Back. Oh. *facepalm* I forgot to say brb.

Lavender Hope said...

Back for a bit. Hi. :)

Lavender Hope said...

True, Star. When that happens, I stop reading it for a while. Then I go back to it. That just makes the book so much better. :)

I was gone a while...

Lavender Hope said...

I'm a bit distant too.

Star Inkbright said...

WB both of you!

Lavender Hope said...

Thanks Star. :)

Star Inkbright said...

Gods, that took me an HOUR . . .

This is just like english lessons. No wonder english has become my best subject, what with all this practice I'm getting . . .

Lavender Hope said...

What took an hour?

Star Inkbright said...

Writing out that comment. I wrote out an angry 45 minute one yessleterday . . .

Lavender Hope said...

Oh, okay. Wow. I can understand your anger. I read part of that review, I got a little upset too.

Star Inkbright said...

This one got me upset. It was one by a person called Drew that got me angry.

Lavender Hope said...

brb

Star Inkbright said...

K lavender.

Lavender Hope said...

Back, distant.

Lavender Hope said...

It's very... quiet today.

Rose Black said...

Ah well. *shrugs* Fours lynxia.

Lavender Hope said...

Hi/bye Lynxia!

Thanks. :) You gonna go to bed too, Star?

Lavender Hope said...

What's Eurovision?

Dancing Fire (Directioner!!!!!) said...

HEEEEELLLLLLLOOOOOOOOOO

Star Inkbright said...

THE EUROVISION SONG CONTEST!

Every year, every country in europe who wants to enter sends singers to it, and they all sing, and all the countries vote for who they like best, and the one with the most votes wins, and the winners get to host thn next eurovision.

Apparently when my mum and dad were little it was all folk dancers and stuff and it was really funny, but nowadays it's mostly pop singers. 26 countries took part this year, and it was hosted by Azarbaijan - that how it's spelt? A lot of them were very good actually . . .

Star Inkbright said...

Hi fire!

Star Inkbright said...

OMGG, those flame towers in Azarbaijan (?) are amazing. For close up they don't look too exceptional but from far away they look exactly like real flames . . .

Dancing Fire (Directioner!!!!!) said...

i really want to see eurovision

Dancing Fire (Directioner!!!!!) said...

brb

Lavender Hope said...

That sounds cool.

Hi Fire!

Sorry, I zoned out there...

Dancing Fire (Directioner!!!!!) said...

Star Inkbright said...

I've seen the first 16. I'm watching the remaibing 10 on iPlayer tomorrow.

Star Inkbright said...

Ten to midnight . . .

Lavender Hope said...

Seriously, that's why I want to visit Europe. I find the things there a lot more interesting than America...

Europe and Australia. Top two places I want to visit.

Lavender Hope said...

Oh and Ireland of course, but that's part of Europe, isn't it?

You gonna go to bed, Star?

Lavender Hope said...

*looks at bookstore website*
There's a book called 2312 now??? Before it was 2012, where the world dies, now there's a 2312 where the world's still going and what's more, there are people living on other planets and moons....

*goes to read more*

Lavender Hope said...

Whoa, 2312 sounds really cool... way better than 2012.

Lavender Hope said...

I think Star's gone to bed... and Fire disappeared...

Dancing Fire (Directioner!!!!!) said...

To catch up on conversations

My initials are EJ! And I'm 12! And there's a book series called EJ12! But it's really bad....

Eve the ROCK said...

That was random.

Dancing Fire (Directioner!!!!!) said...

Hi Eve!!

Eve the ROCK said...

Dancing Fire (Directioner!!!!!) said...

Lavender Hope said...

I saw Hunger Games already. It was really good.

Dancing Fire (Directioner!!!!!) said...

Eve the ROCK said...

I dedicate this page to...hunger....and games....uh...

Actually, I dedicate this page to the colour blue.

The sky, the ocean, lapis lazuli, blueberries, violets (apparently...), bluebells, the faceless ones cover (I just had to put that here), but most of all....

















My thick blue socks!!

Oh, and my eyes.

Actually, scrap the eye part, worship my blue socks!!!

Eve the ROCK said...

I saw the movie before I read the book, so maybe it'll be different for you.
