Tom Percival Back Cover Madness!
You lucky, lucky people...
I am, of course, referring to those Minions who talk with those funny accents. A full 36 days before the rest of us, Kingdom of the Wicked is now available in Australia and New Zealand.
The normal rules apply. No Spoilers. None. None whatsoever. There's not even going to be spoiler zone Blog post for you to discuss it in secret- not until it's available in Ireland and the UK. You're just going to have to keep it to yourself and off the internet for 36 days. That is your punishment for getting it early...
And you have it SO early that not even I have a copy. How is THAT fair?
In other news...
A new school-type event is now listed in the Sydney section of the tour schedule below. If you want to get involved... er... I dunno what you have to do... Get your school to register, or something?

«Oldest ‹Older 201 – 400 of 4815 Newer› Newest»Hey Eve!!
*hugs*
How're you??
Hello Panda Bear.
*waves*
Nice to meet you :)
*hugs* I'm shivering with excitement. ARRGH! Can't wait! I'm going to complain to my mum how all the other shops in Australia get Kingdom of the Wicked NOW. It SUCKS. But I do appreciate his she called Dymocks and other shops... They all say August 1, which is what Dymocks will say to my friend (mwahahaha) but Pages and More in West Lakes said that they should be getting it a bit earlier than that. Mum's calling them again on Thursday.
SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
*that
Aww you are so LUCKY!!
I remember Last year I got DB at the Ediburgh Book Festival like 2 and a bit weeks before everyone else. All because I kinda made my dad take me over to Scotland because I live in Ireland :P
All just so I could meet Derek, get my books signed and get DB early. Even though I had already PRE ordered it on amazon :P
I'm desperately wanting the whole book set. I have all of them, but this set comes in a BOX. A BOX!!!
Anyway, school, bye!
Bye Eve!!
*hugs*
Beautiful cover art, truly!
And I am DYING with envy here. You do know that means that the next book will have to come out early in Germany just so we`ll all have it when you go on tour in my lovely country, right? Because otherwise that would just be super unfair...
Looking forward to the book and wondering if making an Australian friend and getting them to buy it and send it to me via mail would take longer than 36 days...
OH MY FACELESS ONES THE BOOK IS AMAZING! THANK YOU FOR THE AMAZINGNESS THAT IS KOTW!!! :D
Hi, L. (Oh, god, my face is going to hurt from the smiling. It's like Skulduggery's façade. Heeelp!)
Oh, and L (it /was/ you that asked, right?) I do ship Valduggery. And I wish the reason you were asking in my head was the same as the reason you were asking in real life...so I am going to cross my fingers. And pretend that the reasons are the same. Because, even though I will be disappointed in the end, it will be worth it for the extreme, extreme, /EXTREME/ joy.
Oh, about the ten times the awesome comp... (That I won!) I have not recieved an email! Is that unsual?! D:
Valduggery shipper? Yay! :D
June: how late *do* the books get published in Germany??
Oh, und...I liebe Deutschland! (And all of its inhabitants, but I can't remember the conjugations (spelling? Heeeelp!) or the purals. Because I am a stupid person who can't remember the German she learns in school...
Anyway, I feel like I'm spamming, so if I publish this at all I will stop because I don't like polluting airspace. Bye!
Oh my EPICNESS!!!
Back cover looks AWESOME!!! I want it!!!!
One comment, sorry if anyone's here. Bye!
hm online stores are telling me it is not avail until 1 August. I will have to trek down town to check em out in person.
it's times like these that i wished i lived in new zealand. the fact that i just finished watching return of the king probably isn't helping the matter
Soooo.... Can American schools register?
I am feeling on top of the world right now because I have an aunt in Australia... and I think we can all figure out what that means. Yes.
And in other news... I just started a new book blog (thebookshelfreview.tumblr.com) where I hope to reread and review SP soon. You should check it out because I think it's really cool. And stuff.
Anyways, see you later Derek! Tell Mr. Percival I said AGLOIAASLRMELIOASJDF when my eyes were introduced to the pleasure of his art once more.
-Molly, trying to find cooler dance moves so the 5-year-olds at my camp won't dance better than me.
Oi! Star! If you see this here are those words!
Tick tock goes the clock,
And what now shall we play?
Tick tock goes the clock,
Now summer's gone away.
Tick tock goes the clock,
And what then shall we see?
Tick tock, until the day,
That thou shalt marry me.
Tick tock goes the clock,
And all the years they fly.
Tick tock and all too soon,
You and I must die.
Tick tock goes the clock,
We laughed at fate and mourned her.
Tick tock goes the clock,
Even for the Doctor.
Tick tock goes the clock,
He cradled and he rocked her.
Tick tock goes the clock,
Even for the Doctor.
Tick tock goes the clock...
Tick tock goes the clock...
Tick tock goes the clock...
Doctor, brave and good,
He turned away from violence.
When he understood,
The falling of the Silence.
Tick tock goes the clock,
He cradled and he rocked her.
Tick tock goes the clock,
'Til River kills the Doctor.
Tick tock goes the clock,
He gave all he could give her.
Tick tock goes the clock,
Now prison waits for River.
Tick tock goes the clock,
And all the years they fly.
Tick tock, and all too soon,
Your love, will surely, DIE.
Halo?
Master Chief?
Huh?
Hahaha. I was making a Halo reference.
I've never watched Halo
msd
Played or read it, I don't think you can watch it...
WOW! THAT BACK COVER IS AMAZING!!!!!
I am super jealous of the New Zealanders and the Aussies.
Can't wait to read KOTW :D :D :D The days aren't going by fast enough.
Hi everyone whos online! *hands them all cookies*
How is everyone?
Hi Nights!

I just noticed a mistake on the cover of THE FACELESS ONES: Valkyrie has blue eyes. In the books they are described as dark.
Ooh! Tom Percival,you're gonna get it!

*waves*
DEREK! You could do a school thing for Canberra... Anyway, I went to the bookshop and there was a MASSIVE dislay, and I've put my name down to get it when they're done with it. *squeals*
*display
I just spent about two hours playing with the Battle Pack cards... At one point me and my sister started trying to imitate the characters. It was HILARIOUS. Imagine how fun that would be to play with Derek XD
And then my sister started singing a song about how the Sea Hag looked... Possibly the funniest song I've ever heard XD
Read KOTW in 6 hours. It was very awesome.
I haven't even got it yet Val...
Poor Nix. Hey Val, happinessmachine and Nix.
*walks in singing*
Rain rain, come someday,
Cause I want to go and play,
If you don't come then I will hide,
Cause it's too hot to go outside. :P
That's my version of the song:
Rain rain, go away,
Come again another day,
All my friends just want to play(I'm not sure that's how the lyrics go, but I use it)
Rain rain, go away.
Anyway, how is everyone? I haven't actually talked in a while. Or at least it feels like it. :s
Can't believe some of you already have KOTW! Lucky! Not sure how, but I'm determined to get it sent to me. Do they ship to Korea?
THANK YOU IVY!!!!!!!!! :)
Can't stay, just popped in to read the comments . . .
Is anyone still here? Or did I choose the wrong time to come?
Oh, I'm here now!
And Nix, the Battle Pack came out ages ago
*victory dance* Never trust Dymocks. Always Big W. they got it YESTERDAY! And they're not even a book shop! Goodbye until I finish the book!!!
And may I just say, without giving anything away, that Sean/Shaun is ALWAYS the troublemaker. Excluding the case of my younger brother :P
Bye bye now!!!!!
P.S. The shiny gold looks awesama
Oh. Hi/bye Star and Eve! Hi Val!
Hi Lav!
Hello again, did anyone read that I miht be getting the DISPLAY! *screams* Ah hum, that was very undignified of me.
I want an SP display!!
Hi Helena! Cool!
How are you guys? :)
I mean KOTW Val. I haven't got KOTW yet
I must be the last person on this blog from Australia who hasn't got it yet...
Sorry, wbd. Doing Korean homework.
I'm good! Like I said earlier, I was playing with what's practically the SP version of Pokemon cards, which was AWESOME :D
Oh. I want KOTW SO BADLY.
Hi Nix!
I so want to get it! Maybe I can ask my mom if she could wait to send that package... So she could order the book from Amazon and sen that too...
I read that. Sounds fun. :)
I mean I read the comment where you were talking about the cards... Yeah. Be right back.
It was awesome... And one of my sisters actually knew who everyone was (she's on Death Bringer)
And I can't find the cards anywhere down here...
The cards look weird. Tanith doesn't look normal... She looks like her head is on backwards. And if you look at Fletcher closely, he looks a bit like Megamind...
Sorry guys, I gotta go. Bye!
Bye Lav!
Bye Lav!
AHHH! Don't get Kingdom of ThE Wicked yet!! Anyway. GOD Tom Percival! You are seriously talented! Love the cover.
Asedvliuehnfgvjbsxamchvg ncmsa,

I WANT KINGDOM OF THE WICKED.
Okay, I am back
I am going to bye Kingdom of the Wicked on the weekend! I am so excited
Sorry, that was sad, I will talk bout other stuff. Oh, just to let you know, I am about to start listening to jar of hearts by Cristina Perri, I will probably say some weird stuuf. Ignore me.
*Stuff
I can't get it until the UK release date... And after that I have to wait for it to ship to America...
I LOVE THIS SONG SO MUCHOMGOMGOMG I LOVE THIS SONGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG
Your gonna catch a cold from the ice inside your sole
DON'T COME FOR ME, WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE?
I hear you're asking all around, if I am anywhere to be found
See, I said some lyrics from the song, anyway, it's time for another song!
(Same warning)
QWERTYUIOPASDFGHJKL;ZXCVBNM,EDFVBNYJKL;;JKHBVGRFGBN N hitting keyboard in FRUSTRATION¬!!!
Hey, another Christina Perri fan, I only just found out that she sings two of my favorite songs,gtg Bye
Derek!! My best friend is going to see you and for my birthday she's getting one of my books signed!! I'll tell her to say hi to you from me LOVE YOU MIRANDA
It's okay Luna, you will get the book and anyway, you get to savour the anticipation, where as if I get the book on Saturday, then I will finish it on Saturday or Sunday, and then I will have to wait for sooo long for the next book
Hi Violet
Okay, song time, then I have to do maths! MATHSSSSSS NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
*smirks* I have Kingdom of the Wicked.
*tackles Helena*
The one thing you can't smirk about is having KOTW before the rest of us :(
I'm gonna go to sleep and dream about the day I finally meet Derek, bye!
*gets up* What a sweet dream. I envy you for it. http://www.facebook.com/#!/photo.php?fbid=228993817203138&set=a.227048307397689.33193.227038460732007&type=1&theater Joking, I'm not.
I'm back
Nobody remembers me
*gleeful laugh that is somewhere between a giggle and a cackle*
Derek must try TimTams while he's in Narnia in August and watch out for Drop Bears.
I do hope Mr Percival never lets Derek design his own book covers.
I have a dilemma... On the one hand I want summer to slow down cos by 30 August I'll be back in school but on the other hand I want it to speed up so I can get KOTW!! Anyone here from Ireland, have you ever been to the Gaeltacht? :)
I love singing!
Hey Darquesse!
I have not been to the Gaeltacht but my friend is at her second one right now! It's nearly over for her, it ends in about 4 days time for her :)
I wish I could go to Ireland, I love Irish accents :)They are so cool!
Hi Nj, Darquesse
I have to go now, bye!
Hi/Bye Selena!!
Hello Peoples!!!!
Might be distant, I'm writing...
Hey Lynxia!
*hugs*
How're you??
And okay :)
*hugs back*
I'm okay. A bit bored...
You?
I just got back from Inis Mor the other day - it was amazing! I posted an account of it on my blog. It was actually amazing craic
Hey Lynx! Haven't spoken to you for quite a while, *nods* nice to meet you Darquesse. *Gasp* NJ? You adore Fletch also?
Doesn't everyone adore Fletcher?? I wrote my first blog post about him and Val... I want them to get back together. Now.
I know Hel! It feels like aaaggggeeeeeeesssss!!
*pokes Hel* You neeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeed to type up the next chapter!
*backs away from the people who adore Fletcher* Okaaaaaaaaaaay... I prefer Loki myself! ^_^
*fan girl squeal*
EPIC!!!!!!
I've been looking in the shops, not there yet...
Will check tomorrow, again
I WANT KOTW NOW!!!!!!!!
Hi
Hi Missy!!
Fletcher is my babe.
I have a fanfic where me and him get married :D
And you would be surprised who doent adore him. It's heartbreaking.
I don't want him and Val to get back together. Fletcher is too good for her!
I'm not getting it for at least another three days...
Hi Nix! I'm not getting it until September...
*looks at previous messages*
Nix isn't the only one without KOTW....
ME!!! I don't have it!!
I have to wait until the release date :(
I REALLY don't want Val and Fletch to get back together. I want him! I dream about HIM! Sorry, slightly inappropriate. Hi Miss. See one of my past comments!
Hey Nix.
I dream about him!!
I am actually so defensive of Fletcher. I don't allow anyone to slag him off.
No one loves him as much as me. It isnt even possible!!
Hey Nix!!
How're you??
Well, I'm not going to argue. Though, if you talk to Fletcher on facebook, he flirts with EVERYONE but goes on about Val, a lot. And tries to do everything with Val also.
You are aware that actually isn't the real Fletcher right?
I know. But he plays it so well. And I love him very similar to how I love Fletch.
Hullo~
Hey Luce!! 8hugs* How're you?
I just love Fletch!
I actually just fangirled over his Battle card in the pack.
* *hugs*
L! It took you a while to get from logging in to Skype to blogland. Why?
*hugs Lynx back* Hello, Lynx! I'm good, thanks. A tad tired, though. I got up 45 minutes ago, but I went to bed at 6am..
Hey Luce
*hugs*
How're you??
I'm-
Whoops, dinner
Bye!
Bye Nix!! *hugs*
Bye Nix!
See you Nix!
Uh, I had to talk to someone on Skype before I could do anything else...One of my friends is going through a rough time right now, so I had to put them first. I can't stand them being depressed...
Hey Cal
*hugs*
How're you??
I'm good thanks and you?
Hey Cal!
I hope they get better soon Luce! Tell them I give them huggies!!
I'm good!! :)
hi Cal and L!
bye Nix!
*goes back to searching up what stores have KOTW*
Bye, Nix!
*hugs NJ back* Hellooo. I'm good. Just tired. *points to reply to Lynx*
How are you all?
Hey, Cal.
Dymocks has it, Miss. Nothing else, as far as I'm aware.
I'm good :)
Missy! Come to Canberra, we have it! Hey Cal. Okay L, I understand that!
Hope your friend feels better, Luce!
Dymocks?
I'm tired and bored. I played Slender last night and it freaked me out. It's just a game but... Damn, it's ssssoooooooooooo creepy!!!!!
Helena. Happy belated birthday for the sixteenth! I couldn't - er - well, find you, I guess. But I did remember!
Will be distant. I'm on chat, talking to both Ellikins and Hellboy and attempting to get Mist to tell me more details about KOTW.
Paperchain in Manuka has it, and some Big Ws.
http://www.dymocks.com.au/
Sorry to hear about your friend Luce. :/
But I'm sure with a friend like you by their side they'll pull through and come out fighting stronger.
I have details, where's Mist atm? Thank you Cal! SO MUCH!
Cal, i just came back from Dymocks about half an hour
not there
The link won't open for me.
I bet it knows what I'm after and is trying to stop me.
UGH
i cant find it!! *goes back to Google search*
I know Val isn't good to him but if he's with her he gets more on-screen action :)
Does Dymocks post to Ireland??
That's okay, Hel! :) What did you get?! Was it a good day? And I'm assuming you have KoTW?
Aw shucks, Miss - that really is a bummer. Hm.
True Darquesse! MORE FLETCHER! And no NJ, I don't think so.
NJ, you can't get KOTW from Oz/NZ. They'll stop it at customs, apparently. >.<
Me no likey Val anymore.
I used to buy it Progessively started going Down hill. Then just absolutely plummeted in book 6. She lost all respect I had for her in that book.
I think it's Australian, but I'm not too positive, NJ.
You could always get someone to ship it to you? How long would that take?
DAMN >:(
They'll stop it at customs?! Wow.
I NEED FIRST, BTW.
YES THEY WILL STOP IT AT CUSTOMS BECAUSE IT'S NOT RELEASED HERE
I have the greatest dedication I've ever had in my mind, right now!
*squeals*
they have it at SOME Dymocks!!
but its not the one near me :(
I have no family in Australia :/
WAIT YES I DO!! My cousin!!
But I haven't spoken to him in like 6 years :(
Why the frig did I spaz about that dedication idea?
1?
I got epic clothes, a cape, gloves like my necromancer gloves, two pirs of stockings... etc. It was an amazing, I saw Brave and ate Turkish. Yes, I have KoTW and ALL the new editions of SP, I assume you all heard about them. Oh, and I put my name down for getting the cut-out Skulduggery they had on display.
YOU HAVE THE NEWER COVER EDITIONS HEL?!
WHERE FROM?!
ive been looking...
I finished my Loki outfit yesterday!!! Not the helmet though, I need to finish that soon..................................
well done on that Lynxia!
Paperchain, a bookshop only in Canberra. :( Cost $110. So totally worth it.
When I go to the Belfast signing I'm going to go as China! :D
Go Lynx, you'd make an excellent Loki.
$110?!?!
Cool NJ!
Miss, try Big W. Eve got it from there
Uhh yeah NJ, why?
I love China so much too!!
She is my absolute favourite Female Character!
i looked Nix, not there!!
Aww, thanks guys!!!
hey again Nix!!
Oh wait *checks list* I FORGOT TO MAKE THE STAFF!!!!!!!!!!! AAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I haven't heard about the new editions of SP - enlighten me, would you? And that's really cool - oh did you enjoy the movie? Favourite characters were the triplets. Sounds like a good day in general! :)
Be right back!
That's a lot of money.
I love Jeremy Kyle!!
He is so awesome!!
Oh that's beautiful Lynxia. That's so brilliantly amazing.
I love you so much right now. Gah - Loki is a remarkable character and Tom Hiddleston is absolutely perfect.
Jeremy Kyle is hilarious!
He is Brilliant!!
Thanks Cal but I forgot the staff!! *bangs head on desk* ... I'm such an idiot, how could I forget??!!
I save money NJ, and ONLY spend it on books. There are new editions of ALL the books Cal, with different covers, backs and extra content. *squeals* And I loved Brave!
