I've enjoyed this tour. Yes, I hate leaving my life for weeks at a time, and staying in hotel after hotel and getting flight after flight is not exactly fun, but every reader I've met and book I've signed (no matter how hurriedly) just seems to replenish my energy.
I've met so many people from this Blog, from the Forums, from the Facebook page, and then thousands more, and each and every one of you have been good-humoured and cool. I'm not even going to MENTION the hyperventilating teenage girls.
I've been given loads of pictures, loads of letters (that I'll read on the flight home), loads of odd little toys and, er, marmite... which was nice of them...
The weather was almost bearable, even if the heat did seem to just magnify in certain places, and no event was anything less than fun. So thank you, Minions-with-funny-accents, for making this tour a great success.
In other news, some of you will have heard of the BBC shooting something Skulduggery-related. It's to do with the books- not a movie or a Skulduggery TV show (I'd have told you if it was)- but it is something cool and quirky and a lot of fun, and I'm dying to see their stylistic interpretation. It's going to be pretty short, I think, and I'm just sitting back and letting them do their own thing.
The next bit of the KOTW tour will focus on Ireland. For those of you who want to attend the launch in Eason bookshop in Dublin, either go to the Eason website or visit the Skulduggery Pleasant homepage and click on "Latest News". There's a whole host of signings in Cork and Swords and Drogheda and Kilkenny and Kildare, plus a rather unique event in the Mountains to the Sea Festival in Dun Laoighaire on September 5th. Here's what it says on the website:
Did you know that Derek Landy started his career writing screenplays? Did you know he is one of Ireland’s biggest cinema buffs, with a collection of memorabilia that makes movie nerds go weak at the knees? Joined by Eason’s Children’s Books Buyer (and wannabe Hobbit) David O’Callaghan, Derek Landy will share his favourite cinema moments in this exclusive festival event, where he’ll highlight some of the films that have inspired his phenomenal Skulduggery Pleasant series.
If we ask very nicely, he may even show us some of his original props and costume pieces from the likes of Superman and Alien. If we don’t ask nicely, he might just demonstrate some of his black-belt karate moves on poor Bilbo O’Callaghan! Either way, a fantastic evening’s entertainment lies in store, so make sure you’re there to witness the silver-screen shenanigans! Of course, Derek will also be talking about his new book, Kingdom of the Wicked, as well as signing after the event.

Hello again!!
I am better now, listening to manga theme music!!
Megu Megu doya Elsness nigh
Zuto zuto saya katsune
Okay Japanese music what could be better
I love it!!!!!! Megu is awesome!!!
What I never like about manga is how the drop of sweat appeared on the characters heads and how they blushed and how they looked when they got knocked out.
Oh, I love anime!! It's brilliant and Miku Hansune has done my fave themes!
The only thing manga I ever liked was Pokemon which was annoying cause everyone in my class thought it was for losers so I got made fun of because of it
Hello! I am here! AT last!
Ah, ignore them! I love Pokemon even now and I'm going into yr 10!! I adore Vampire Knight, Hitalia and Death Note though!! <<<<<<3
Did you ever see the program teen titans it was manga and the theme song was half full of Japanese words
Hi willow howya
OMG TEEN TITANS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
*jumps around Eden then hugs* I've found another Titan!!! Wait until I tell Adra!! Are you Robfire or Rab??? *questioning look*
Hey Willow!!!
I loved Pokemon and TT.
I preferred the cyborg and beast boy they were cool
Past tense Flame??
I haven't seen them in years..
Answer the question!!! Robfire or Rab???
I have most of the Pokemon games they were the only thing I used to play
I'm not that good, but I'm still marring Malfoy.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Pph2gEKpbM&feature=related
^^ best manga theme ever!! Elfen Lied is a genius!!
Robfire, obviously!!
*backs away from Flame* Traitor!!!!! Rab FTW!!!!
Robfire * closes eyes in the hope that was the right answer *
What?? Both of you???!!!! Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!1
See, I lead on Eden.
Rab.
To be honest most of the episodes I saw where robin liked raven you know how they in this other dimension I didn't understand it because I was 6
Hiya Kali!!
The fact I don't know who the other half of each of those are, proves how long since I've seen it.
Hi Kal * hands her back the pink tut she gave me last time *
The fact I don't know who the other half of each of those are, proves how long since I've seen it.
Hiya, Kal! How are you?
*gives her some glitter*
Rab - Raven and Rob
Robfire - Rob and Starfire
The characters are robin , cyborg , raven and starfir . duh

Bye, Flame! *hugs*
Flame your right the older ones were soooo! Much better
Bye, Flame!
Bye again flame
I think I have a serious obsession with Hunger Games..
Commented Jakro!!
:O
*has idea*
I wish I could have a golden shimmery dress for prom like Glimmer has in HG books... O_O
I couldn't pull off gold...
1?
I kind of figured that just didn't want to say anything it's justified though I've read them and there brilliant! Can't wait for the next two movies
Or a really simple dress...
*needs inspiration for a prom dress*
Boom!!!!!!!!
*laughs* Ha ha!!!
Val better luck next time
I dedicate this page to...
Nix!!
Adra and Luce my blog sisters!!
All of my blog friends!!
Manga intros!!
Manga and anime!!
Vocaloids!!
It's not inspiring but it sums up what I'm thinking about!!
I'll be distant... I want to make it so my computer screams "MANATEES ARE AWESOME" whenever I get an email
I need food . . . Why aren't I allowed in the kitchen?
Hey Val!
I should make it that mine screams "EXTERMINATE!" whenever I get an email...
Heya, Val!
Ooohh...Or a pretty red one...Like the one Katniss wears. Red is also my colour...
Hey, Val!
This video is... No words, just watch...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ka4ETAyHZyM&feature=relmfu
Hi L! What're you talking about?
Hey val lynxia I like the Manga part though Pokemon and TT rule
does anyone else agree that the hunger games (movie) was rubbish
Prom dresses. I need a prom dress by the end of the year. *grins*
I'm going to need a short one because it'd suit me better...
I want a pretty one...
Maybe a HG inspired one...
Why thank you kindly Kali!! *bows*
*is playing Amnesia* AGRH!!! Teleporting Naked Guys!!! >:(
Okay Kali!!
I went for short and black for a concert Luce. I don't do colours...
Black one! Get a black one! Or maybe a dark blue one... You know, that glowy sort of blue that isn't actually glowy but it looks a little like it is?
(My God, I am terrible at describing things right now...)
Lynxia the video was ... How do I say this a bit adult
*pokes Lynxia* I don't do colours either! Wheeeeeeee! *trips on air*
I should wear either a blue or a red dress, I believe...Maybe a golden one...They suit my skin tone the most.
Black could work, too...
*is inspired by HG at the moment*
Jakro I thought the hunger games movie was quite good the books are better though
That's PewDiePie for ya Eden!! Him, TobyGames, Cry and CaptainSparklez are sooo awesome!!!
Colours are over rated!!!
g2g Bye!
*hugs*
Book two and the ending of book three are the best
The Percy Jackson movie sucked. they screwed it up so much!!!
Bye Willow!!
I didn't read the books but the movie wasn't that good to be true
On that list, L, I say blue! Blue is a good colour.
Yesterday I had to help my soon-to-be step-sister find a dress for something too... Weeeiiiirrrd
Bye willow
Bye, Willow! *hugs*
I need to decide on a style of dress.
Yay Luce!!!
You happy?
Sha-la-la
Everybody is happy!
Sha-la-la
NO NO NO NO NO!!11
SENIORITAS EVERYWHERE!!
I'd want a simple chain necklace, as well...
Delicate bracelet...
Not too over the top...
I'm most like Clove, so I'd want to go for the more sexy approach...
Which suits me, because I can't do cute...
*grins* Might look for a translucent-y one...Golden would be a nice colour, for me...
You're lucky you can pull off something like that Luce. The most I can hope for is people not to point and laugh.
When I wear a dress I try to see how long it takes before my friends can stop staring and say, "Isabella, is that you?" And have every single person not recognise me.
I wear black and hope someone else wear something more interesting so I don't get laughed out.
*at not out. WTF laptop??
That's pretty much my hope, too, Lynxia. It helps that I only know, like, 5 out of 500 at my school.
I already have my ticket for the event in Easons, O'Connell street in Dublin!!!! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH CAN'T WAIT!!! :D
I know about the same but the rest are really mean and shallow so...
The rest here are all idiots who think their cool.
I'ma gonna go now!! Bye! *hugglesies*
Bye Lynxia!
Derek, I hope I'm not the only one who noticed this, but I believe that on the new character profile thingy you spelled Scapgrace's first name wrong. Just so you're aware.
Sexy is my thing.
I pull it off all the time.
I mean, short shorts and what have you.
I can wear even the cutest of outfits and pull off sexy, apparently.
It's my style.
Much like Clove.
That's why I'd be a good tribute. *nods* I'm so much like Clove.
I want a simple dress...So much... O_O
And a simple brooch to go with it.
That'd be cute.
And a simple necklace.
A chain bracelet.
I don't know about the rest...
http://www.millcrestvintage.com/bmz_cache/b/bd37105c4c1cfda3f41ef656f8c35375.image.299x450.jpg
I want a prom dress like this one... O_O
Bye, Lynx! *hugs*
Ooh, that one's pretty :D
In all honestly, I really like those big fancy ones they used to wear a long time ago... I would have no reason to wear one, but I love them.
*honesty, not honestly
The skulduggery short is almost on everyone who can tune into cbbc quick
DO IT NOW !!!!!
Is there a way to watch it online?!
I could pull that dress off.
I can only pull of flouncy kind of ones.
Plus, it'd make me look taller.
And I have my perfect prom outfit decided in my mind.
So pretty... O_O
I'll never look as pretty as I'd want to, though. :(
It's on
WATCH IT !!!!!!!!
I want a really pretty, delicate one...
Simple, yet beautiful.
All innocent.
Maybe not so much the sexy kind of person I am...I've got enough fire and sex appeal for it to work. c:
Don't know val it might be on YouTube afterwards
WHERE CAN I WATCH IT WITHOUT CABLE!?!?!?!?!
Hi rose
Try bbc three if you can but as I said youtube
Rose have you emailed harper Collins yet with the book idea to get us into book nine. And billy ray I don't like you either ( just kidding I love you )
