A few other people also won for, like, other categories- including Katie Taylor in the Best Sports Book. I really really really wanted to meet her and she was RIGHT THERE in front of me but then I was called away for a photo, and then there were a few people who wanted napkins signed, and when I looked around again she was gone. Dammit. I always thought she looked so petite on screen, but in person she is physically IMPRESSIVE. Here she is with Cecelia Ahern- one of my top two favourite writer-type-people that I know.
It was a fun night- it always is- but very well behaved and restrained when compared to last year. Ah, last year... what fond, fond memories I have...
My editor Nick came over for it, so we were chatting about the Tanith novella and he reckons it needs only the barest of edits. What does that mean for you guys? It basically means it'll stay at around the 54,000 word mark and I won't have to cut anything out. Apart from, apparently, all those mentions of Tanith in a bikini. I sincerely don't see the problem. It's not like I have her running around nekkid or anything.
Ooh, maybe I should...

Easons are awesome. I got my first SP book there... :D ah memories.
I didn't even know Easons shipped to England. :P
BUT THEY DO SO I CAN BUY BOOKS FROM THERE NOW! XD
Easons ship to England? Wut?! x)
I thought they only shipped to Ireland... No?
"Free delivery to Ireland & UK on orders over €10."
Ooh. Nice. So I take it you're going to buy as many SP books as you can, am I right?
I plan on going crazy with my money and buying as many SP books as I can for as little as I can.
So far I have found...Eleven that I can afford and still have money left over. And I have already ordered one. And I plan on picking one up from town on Wednesday if they have it. I might ask for a couple of these books for Christmas, actually. ^^
Hi people!
Gosh, Luci. That's... A lot of books.
Hey Sev!
HI PEOPLE!
Wbd, at my grandma's.
Hi Star!
Ack, I've got to go. I probably won't be on here for a while. Boring SS term paper to do and my lines to memorize.
BYE EVERYBODY!
Bye Sev... You just came >.^
Hello, Sev! Bye Sev!
Hello, Star!
Really, Mara? I didn't think so... :P
Of course you didn't think so, you have 50 + at home! :P haha
I have 47 Skulduggery Pleasant books, actually! And one was supposed to arrive the other day but no-one was in so I have to get it on Wednesday. So I might buy another when in town on Wednesday! :D
*is watching brother play Jetpack Joyride on iPad*
my mums mean, she said to me that she got me some books that I want but shes not going to tell me what they are and whether or not she is going to give me them for my birthday or christmas - THATS 6 DAYS OF A DIFFERENCE.
and now I have to go bye :D
Oh dear Luci. Oh dear.
You may have an obsession...
Bye Mel! *hugs*
Bye, Mel!
I DON'T HAVE AN OBSESSION AT ALL >.>
WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT MARA?
I'M DEFINITELY NOT OBSESSED.
I DON'T KNOW WHERE YOU COULD'VE GOT THAT IDEA FROM.
IT'S NOT LIKE I HAVE ALMOST A COMPLETE THE COLLECTION OF THE BOOKS, OR ANYTHING.
:( FOURS MEL!
... Of course you don't Luci. Of courrrrse you don't.
Who would even dream of thinking such a thing?
... Me, obviously Star. I just said it right there. Did you not see the comment?
I think I have to go... Will I tell Kessie you said hi?
*rides in on a unicorn*
Hello!
Should I preorder the Tanith novella, or buy more for my (albeit tiny) collection?
Hello, Kes!
THAT'S NOT A BAD IDEA. I MIGHT PRE-ORDER THAT. AND THE NEW PAPERBACK KOTW.
THAT'D BE A GOOD IDEA.
I'LL BUY THESE BOOKS FIRST, THOUGH.
HELLO, ZAF!
BYE, MARA!
Hello L.!
I am going to do both...
I'm back! :)
Yeah, I'm preordering too! :D
HI Mara!
HELLO, MARA! :D
I THINK I SHALL PRE-ORDER THEM IF I HAVE ENOUGH MONEY AFTER BUYING ALL THESE AND SOME HG THINGS C:
Its up to be pre-ordered?! Im getting excited now...
I'm not doing the KotW paperback yet, though...
Uh, I've got, like, €11... :P
I have a decent amount of money that I don't know what else to do with, so...
I put KOTW paperback on my Christmas list, and TEOTW Aussie edition, and battlepacks. I didnt care what one. I also was told if I get an answer from Derek i can send him Sceptre of The Ancients like Adra did with her Death Bringer
I have just over £56! ^_^
I have zero £ but i got plenty of $
Well, I'm not entirely sure what I have in pounds, but I have around 80$
See, I had €25, then bought the 1D CD for €10, then bought two lollipops for €2, then I had to give in €2 for my secondary school thing... And that happened.
Im just in a good mood thanks to Mom :D that and I still have no school tomorrow
Apparently, I can preorder Book 8 already....
Next week I'll get another £5.
So I can either buy another book or buy Maddie's Xmas present. ^.^
Zaf, why don't you have school tomorrow?
OMG DISNEY CHANNEL IS SPONSORED BY ONE DIRECTION!!!!!!
And now I'm having Ben and Jerry's ice cream!
Start of hunting season, we always have off.
*sighs*
Dad ruined my mood. He's telling me i should sell stuff on ebay. I dont give much of a reaction and he's saying I should show emotion, theres nothing to celebrate! I mean did he want me to jump for joy?
I've got school tomorrow...
gtg, bye!
BYE, KES!
Bye Kessie
Bye Kessie! :)x
Sorry I disappeared, my siblings were playing games on my phone . . .
Ooh gosh...
Im hoping to...
*runs in triangles*
Oh so the eyes on top of the Blog are Derek's eyes....never realized that one.
I showed my sister the comments from this morning and she was laughing. :)
Which ones? Sorry looking for Christmas lights :/
Ahhhhh I cut my ankle again and it's bleeding all over the floor... So much fun there...
I love when I stupidly cut things! I managed to cut my finger with my nail
*tries to cover it up with a cotton ball* *watches it slowly go red*
Uh... I'll be right back.
Take your time with that Val...why is it whenever I read Em's comments .i hear her accent perfectly but if I read a post by Derek I cant?
*runs onto beach*
who says I dont go out in the sun?
*swims around with fishies*
hey guys :D
Hello?
Agh, my I've got my violin exam on Friday and my scales sounds so bad DX
MEL COME SWIM :D
OK! *splashes around in the water* Im pretty pleased with myself, because eve earlier explained to me how I defied the laws of physics :D YAY
*Crashes into the water and makes a massive splash and giggles when it makes everyone else wet*
*swims around in circles* *notices Sea Hag in the water*
EVERYONE GET OUT! QUICK!
I say fight the Sea Hag!!!
*swims away from her*
its kewl sea hag or not Im ok, see eve calls me frosty/frosty the snowman but earlier I was setting myself on fire and I wasnt melting...so I defied the laws of physics and if I can do that I can do anything :O
Or we could...spy on Tanith and Sanguine.
*Tanith is in a bikini with Sanguine in trunks*
definetly. Just hope he dont notice
I JUST CONVINCED MY DAD TO BUY ONE OF THOSE BOOKS I WANTED. HE SAID I CAN HAVE IT FOR CHRISTMAS. ^_^
ONE DOWN, TWELVE TO GO!
HE PUT A BID ON ANOTHER BOOK I WANTED, TOO. ^^
Yay, Clover! What books were they?
Sanguine in trunks, Zaf? Seriously? Erm, I've just had my dinner...and I'd rather it didn't come back up :L
That's really confusing me, Mel :S
He said he's going to buy the DB CE I found.
And he put a bid on an audio book I want. XD
Hey...
LETS ATTACK HIM!!!
*drowns*
*sees unicorn/mermaid thing*
*shrieks happily*
*chases*
yeah I was pretty confused aswell and my friend said to me "how does that work, are you an elemental?" so I have asked various people about it but Im just going to say Im special in a good way... :)
I am back... back from the dead... well by 'the dead' I mean an english essay. Anybody like rp fandoms?
I am back... back from the dead... well by 'the dead' I mean an english essay. Anybody like rp fandoms?
That's nice :) What's the audio book? Being so nosy today :/
Ah, this should be fun, but then he might go underground and...*stops thought it track*. Omg I didn't just think that. I really didn't. I swear, I didn't. That would just be ridiculous and mean, but kinda funny to those who were watching, but agh!
Maralie! *hugs*
*Goes to kill mermaid thing* - I dreamt thes evil mermaids killed my brother last night:(
It double posted again *mumbles* stupid mac
KotW.
Now I'm looking at a Lady Rainicorn Plushie that I have found.
And some HG things AND THE SP BOOKS I'VE FOUND, OF COURSE.
*watches Sanguine take Tanith underground*
oooh...I wonder when...never mind...bad Zaf
*giggles*
jiggy time
Jasmine! I don't believe we've met. *Hugs* anyway.
My brother had a mac, but I was really suprised he got it, because he's always told me that Apple are evil or something, but he got this really cheap from his friend, so meh.
Agh, I keep referring to both my brothers like they're the same person. Hmm...I will refer them to as Brother 1 and Brother 2.
I was just writing about Brother 1 and Brother 2 was the one that got killed by mermaids.
No we haven't hi!
ZAFIA!!! I say nothing.
:)
Jasmine have we met? I think so but my memory sucks
I see people...
I ended up having to pay 25$ for Tanith Novella if I ordered it now, because the shipping is more than the actual book, so I didn't buy it. *crosses fingers for Easter or Amazon giftcard for Christmas*
next task - defy the laws of awesomeness by becoming to awesome for people to handle... hhmmmm yes thats a good target :D
Hello people :)
Hi, we're One Direction. Kevin. Terrrrrrence. Vas Happenin? Horan the World? Spoons. Curls. Spin the Harry. Carrots . Turtles. No, Jimmy protested. Superman. The Inbetweeners dance.
One day, these will only be things of the past, things to look back on. Because someday, One Direction will end.
It will be a normal day, a day like any other. They will record their last album, will go on their last tour, and will sing their last song. In two or three years, maybe more, I will go onto the One Direction website and post my last comment. I will listen to their songs crying. I will cry for those who get a chance to meet those five boys who so greatly impacted their life. I will cry for all of us. I will cry for those five boys who unknowingly helped me through so much. One day, they will step on stage, and say those five words that will make me question everything I know,
"Hi, we were One Direction."
I just added four more books to my list so I'll have to ask for some for Xmas, now. D:
Unless I save a bit of my money and don't buy one or two of the books on my list...
Damnit... I'll get a fiver next week, maybe, that I can put towards more books...
Hi Mel! Hi Kyrie! Hi Mara!
Omg its soo near christmas!! *o*

LAND OF MY HEART FOREVER!
SCOTLAND THE BRAVE!!!
YAS MAN!!!! MEE TOO!!! now I know 2 other people on blogland that are scottish!!!! my life is getting more and more complete everyday :D :D :D :D :D
ZAF WHEN DID YOU EXPLOAD IRELAND?!?!!?!?!

Go scotland! Ignore our terrible weather and our country is epic!
*sheds a tear* the flower of Scotland , *bursts into patriotic song*
most people look forward to the 25th december... most scottish people look forward till the 25th janurary (well... some of them...) (its not christmas its burns night!)
Over the summer
*shrugs*
my reflection did it not me I assure you
25th of January is my birthday!!
OMG I JUST TYPED INTO GOOGLE WHATS SCOTLANDS NATIONAL ANIMAL AND IT CAME UP WITH - UNICORN!
thats what I forgot to do... I meant to send my reflection to school as I was ill this week... *shrugs* meh oh well
AAAHH. OMG. Louis William Tomlinson accepted my freaking friend request on Facebook!!!! :D :D :D :D
yep we get a unicorn! other places get lions, deers and a dragon we get a unicorn!
yeah we get a unicorn and our mythical creature is the loch ness monster cause we have lochs not lakes , lochs O_o

well you never know...
Im not trying to be a perv or anything but what part of scotland are you from?
i now name the puddle in my garden Loch loch.
oh look my distracting website is being distracting
brb
Ok, I made my list MUCH shorter.
Now it consists of 7 books. And I should be able to afford 6 of them, at least. If I lose the auction for the first one I can buy all the other six. If not I'll have to wait at least a week for £5 to buy another one, since one of them won't be available in a couple of days...Unless I can get my dad to buy it me for Christmas now so he doesn't forget...
FIFE!!! not FIFI, FIFA or FIJI! FIFE!!! I like fife... well fife is really a county but meh
FIFE? IVE BEEN THERE! but I dont live there I live on the outskirts of glasgow just slightly to the west :D
everybody's been to fife... by everybody I mean all the people who've been to fife have been here. I live about half an hour away from Glenrothes
ok... I think my little cousin was christened there...maybe, no I was in dunfermline :D
Zaffy confused
why is Zaffy confused?
fife is a county, state whatever you want to call it in Scotland. Glenrothes is a place in fife.
...is that somewhere near Loch leven?

What doesn't kill you makes you stronger...
I'm starting to think that statement to be false...
it did it again! DIE MAC!!! *punches mac*
my version of that statement: what doesn't kill you isn't fatal
Aww my friend's mum just had a baby girl on Thursday :) x
I think it is near Loch leven
and luc Im starting to think that aswell... now that you mention it :)
Louis Tomlinson freaking added me on freaking Facebook! HUGE DEAL! OMG!
oh look my website that keeps distracting me is back...
I think instead of it being what doesnt kill you makes you stronger should be - what doesnt kill you might try again later...
Facebook? lol :)
Christmas movies are on...
Already...
MINE!
Dammit. I thought it'd go to a new page *huffs*
Not mine
... YESSSS!!!
Helloooooo
Well you gots it I wasnt planning I was just eating xD
*glares at wan tahn*
Are you under orders by Derek to make my life hell?'
What doesn't kill you makes you stronger should be:
What doesn't kill you will make you ten times weaker and will probably send you spirralling into a life of depression that you're unlikely to ever escape from and will probably factor into your early death.
SPD. OMG. Louis Tomlinson added me on FB! *fangirling*
hellooooooo :D
*hangs in tree*
psst I see Serpine
I dedicate this page to...
1) Christmas coming soon! One month exactly!
