A few hours ago I was sent the finalists for the Gordon Edgley Book Review competition, where people had to review books that they (or anyone else) had never actually read. These reviews were BRILLIANT. We got some of the best, most imaginative responses back, and it was not easy picking winners.
But picking winners is what I had to do, and so the winners are Patricia Snake, Sophie Carter, Ella Corkum and Katie Roberts-Malpass.
Huge congratulations to the winners, and a huge congratulations to EVERYONE who entered. You have kept me entertained...!

HI MUSHROOM!
STAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAR! *attacklehugs*
Tawnee: *thinks* can I have wine please?
HIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII! :) :)
I'M GONNA START CRYING NOW BECAUSE YOU'RE AWESOME AND I MISS YOU :(
HI! :) HOW'RE YOU? :)
YOU'VE GOT ME TALKING IN CAPITALS NOW, TOO . . . :O
(@lucifer about as well as a lunatic in asylum, you?)
I'm crying. :O I'm legit crying here.
I mean, I knew my emotions were screwed up, but . . .
(I am getting very emotional right now just watching everybody reunited with Luciana.
Humph. Pirates don't cry.
*wipes a tear from eye*)
I AM WONDERFUL, MY BUBBLE. I PROPOSED TO CONOR IN DUBLIN AND NJ IS THE SWEETEST PERSON I'VE EVER KNOWN AND MARALIE IS SO CUTE AND HUGGABLE AND SHE'S SO SMALL OMG HUGGLES ALL AROUND THAT DAY WAS
HOW ARE YOU, BUBBLE?!
SIIIIIIIIIIIL *cuddles* Aw, babe:( E-mail me if you ever want to talk, okay? I love you, perfect!<3
And I'm... Uh. Look above. That's my current mood. :D
(*hugs bub*)
Sure *gives taw a peck on the cheek* *goes to the bartender* a wine and a beer please.
@Clara: *laughs* Of course they don't. :)
@MUSHROOM: GLAD YOU HAD A GREAT TIME!!!! :) :)
Congrats on your engagement. :)
@Taia: XD Just saw your comment and, lol. :P
Tawnee: *blushes* thank you
Hi, Sophia! :)
Hey, Chloe! :)
Hi, Tia! :)
*didn't mean to be a scary ghost. :(*
Hi Annika, Silente, Garrett! :)
Luci! Hello! :)
Hey Star! :)
*pretty certain that's everybody?*
(@Lucifer *casually crosses out perfect from that sentence* I know..has mat been replying to you at all?)
(I won't deny that I'm very jealous that you got to meet all those Bloglanders! But jealous in the best way possible, of course.
*offer Luciana a white canvas bag with a green dollar sign on it*
Some treasure from my travels. Come by by honest means, of course.)
Hmm. I ofetn forget to ask people how they are in reply, but I don't often forget to tell them how I am in reply . . .
I'M GOOD THANKS! Um, my life is full of word art and ranting and homework and weird online people. :P So like always, then, I guess. XD
That sounds like a lovely life, Star. Apart from the homework, of course.
@Clara: Ah, the homework makes it . . .
*searches for suitable adjective*
. . .
. . . homework-y.
:S
Idek. XD
*brings the drinks over* here's your wine *gives taw the glass* *drinks some beer*
*frowns*
*looks at Taia's name, and Star's name, and Silente's name, and Luciana's name*
. . .
. . . I need to get some titles.
(Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh I forgot about my homework againnnnnnn!!!)
@Clara: XD
I used to hate titles because they made my name look weird . . . O_o
@Silente: Oh . . . sorry. :P
Tawnee: thanks *sips wine* this is a nice place *smiles* I was so lucky you found me
(*cant be bothered with homework*)
I need some titles.
Perhaps I ought to get myself crowned queen of a distant land. Or get myself a nick-name. Or win some grand award.
(I have homework for tomoz on triglycerides )
@Silente: XD
This is like in physics when I'm sitting there doing the work and C's sat next to me saying "I can't be bothered."
And I'm like "Oh." and "That's a bit of a problem, isn't it?"
Usually in science she's the one who cares about it as well . . . :S
GETTING SIDETRACKED
@Silente: um
. . .
if I knew how to motivate people I'd motivate myself? :P
YEaH!!!
STAR LAUGHED
MY COMICAL PROWESS HAS BEEN RECOGNISEd. :P
*hugs Star* :)
*hugs Luci* :) :) :) !!!
I'm lucky i found you too, *gives tawnee a kiss*
@Inky: O_O That sounds like a long complicated word.
My homework involves the history of Greece, BC.
@Taia: *laughs, again* YEAHHH! :P
*nods at Clara* Ummm, I can't help you with that. :P
(@Star if I don't do it it'll build up...
But...
I can't be bothered...)
Bubble - Thank you, haha! I proposed once with a haribo ring and he rejected me. Then at the end of ToS we were all sat together and we went to see Derek and got badges and signs and stuff (Flame got the D...!) and we went back outside again and then I just suddenly got down on one knee and asked him and he said yes, so;P
TAIAAAAAAAA! Hello!:D
*throws glitter at Sil* You're perfect to me, you turnip. And yeah, sometimes. He went through a bit of a rough time at one point and we were in contact non-stop during that time, then there was a period where we both went quiet (that happens a lot???) but when I was in Dublin and the night before he was making sure I was okay and ordering me to get ice-cream and stuff. Not really spoken much since, though...!
Um... Thank you... Uh... Crowley...?
*pokes Bubble* I love you:3
(what is triglycerides?)
(It is a type of lipid... Half of biology is biochemistry )
Tawnee: *blushes bright red*
*kisses him back*
It's . . . it's me, Annika Barnosky / Clara L. Crowley, if you didn't know, Luciana. Hullo.
(@Luci oh.
Okay.
Oh.
*walks off to do a homework, head hung*)
Fare-thee-well, Silente, if you are really leaving.
@Mushroom: I love how you're calling me Bubble. :)
Cool! :) :) :) :P
And, um -
Crowley = Clara = Annika. XD
*hugs* :) Love you toooo. :)
@Inky: Ah, that'll go well when I take biology and chemistry then. :)
Who even started the whole ridiculous number of titles thing...?
I do not know, but I like it. I am fond of titles. I wish I had some.
*writes TITLES on the list of treasures to go seeking*
@Mushroom: *shrugs helplessly*
I didn't even get my titles in the conventional method like the rest of you . . .
Lol.
Socially-out-of-touch-in-all-aspects, that's me. XD
(Yea star, if you get stuck you can ask me)
@Clara: :)
Just invent a few. :)
I should steal all my titles from Game of Thrones.
Actually, on second-thought, I'd rather earn my own titles.
*nods firmly*
@Inky: :)
Thank you. :)
If I stay at my school I might be with C though . . .
AHHHHHHHHHHH DECISIONS, DECISIONS, DECISIONS
THEY PLAGUE ME AND INHABIT ME AND PULL ME APART AND STUFFS
EXCEPT I'M STILL HERE, SO MAYBE THEY DON'T PULL ME APART
OR MAYBE THEY DON'T SUCCEED.
I LIKE TO THINK OF IT THAT WAY. :)
MUSHROOM, YOU'RE RE-INFECTING ME WITH CAPITALS LETTERS. :O
OHHHH. ANNIKA! HELLO! *waves*
You okay, Sil? *huggles*
I think he and I are only in contact so often because I send him messages randomly about coffee or ice-cream, to be honest...! And Facebook makes it easier to converse!:3
YOU ARE BUBBLEEEEEEEE. I began calling you bubbly - and a bubble - years ago, and therefore reserve the right to call you Bubble as a proper noun now;P
That makes sense now:')
@Anni: *laughS* I don't know. 'The Majestic Pirate' may not be a LONG title, but it's still quite glorious. :) ^^
*... is kind of too tired for homework, tbh? :P)
@Luce: I don't know. Maybe they just kind of built up?
*waves plumed hat* Hullo!
I LITERALLY JUST ONE DAY WENT "HEY I WANT SOME TITLES" AND FLORA AND I GAVE EACH OTHER TITLES AND I AM A MOTHER FUCKING KHALEESI MATE;D
MWAHAHAHAAAAAAAA. CAPITAL LETTERS ARE WONDERFUL MY DARLING BUBBLE!
@Mushroom: YESSSSSSSSSSSSS :)
YOU GAVE ME MY ONE TRUE TITLE. :)
OTT . . . ? LIKE OTP . . .
MAYBE ME AND MY TITLE ARE AN OTP. :O
@Taia: XD Oh, dear . . .
Yes, I think I can add "majestic pirate" to my meager list of titles, right next to "hotel manager," "winner of Most Tragic Roleplay Plot," and . . . and . . .
"Proper lady," I suppose.
(i see *looks completely confuddled*)
*takes Taw's hand* shall we go somewhere romantic?
@MUSHROOM: I KNOWWWWWWWW. :P
SEE, PEOPLE JUST SUGGESTED MINE TO ME. O_O I THINK ADRA/NOELLE GAVE ME MOST OF MINE . . .
Hmm. I think my profile needs some editing.
*purrs* Mmm, titles . . .
*whispers* I ship it.
Tawnee: yes, that would be nice *smiles sweetly*
(Lipids are fats)
(We used to email every day...
The last time he messages me was August the 16th..
It's good he's alive though...)
@Anni: "Cool person"? :P
C got me that mug, btw. :)
(The "I have CDO. It's like OCD, but with the letters in alphabetical order AS THEY'RE SUPPOSED TO BE!" one). It's glorious. :) :) My parents thought it was brilliant, and then my mum told it to her work friends who apparently thought it was brilliant too. :)
My sister: That's been on Instagram for months. It's really old now.
Me: -_-
(i see right oh thank you)
where do you want to go? *smiles back*
@Mushroom: *laughs* XD
Um, have fun over there with that. :P
*nods at Inky and pretends I understand her language :P*
I AM SO DELIGHTED THAT YOU NOW HAVE OSCAR'S MUG!
That came out in rather more all-caps than I thought it would.
Sil, he's been going through a really rough time at the minute. I know it's not really an excuse, but it is a reason for his distance, I'm sure. There's also the issue regarding university which must be taken into consideration...!
@Clara: CAPITALS ARE INFECTING THE WORLD! :O
It's such a great mug. :) :) Love it.
(I have somewhat a scientific mind )
Tawnee : *thinks* where would you like to go?
Hi :)
I also have a very scientific mind, and yet, I turn to literature for my inspiration.
Sykamere! It's been a while.
(@Luci okay..so long as he's alive...and relatively alright then..that's fine)
(hello sykamere how are you?)
lets see *thinks* Paris?
(Hello Syk! How art thou?)
*Steals Clara's pirate hat*
*Flies off into the sunset, cackling like a maniac*
It has been a long time, indeed.
He's definitely improving...! Well, he seemed alright on Thursday, so... :)
(Hey Blake!)
Tawnee: that would be nice. I've never been *eyes light up*
Curse you, Blake the Platypus!
*shakes fist*
*produces an identical pirate hat from under my coat*
*puts it on*
I have a scientific mind.
I BIOLOGICALLY ANALYSE PEOPLE'S CHARACTERS. :O
And I HAVE BEEN KNOWN TO CRY IN BIOLOGY LESSONS BECAUSE I LOVE IT SO MUCH.
(That's just that topic, though. Love that topic . . .
I love thinking about how people's minds work.
Like -
Like, yeah.)
Hi, Sykamere! :)
(@Lucifer good..if you get the chance could you tell him I say hey and that I hope he's okay please?)
How does that even work, Star?
*grab's Star's shoulders and shakes her*
Biologically analyze me!
*Drops the hat onto the replica hat, landing with a thud a moment later*
Do I look like an aquatic mammal to you? Because I really hope I do. That would be awesome.
I'm fine :)
The view from my window is awesome and it's not cloudy today, which makes it even more awesome.
Perhaps if you wore a shark fin on your head. Then you would look most formidably aquatic indeed.
@Clara: How does what even work?
And - :O
You can't just say "biologically analyse me". You might as well say "rant about me". It doesn't WORK like that. My lava flows when my lava flows . . . and this is why I have issues with essays in English beacuse they're just like "Okay, write an essay paragraph on that!" and I'm just like "But my lava's not flowing, Sir."
:/
. . .
I would like to use that as my excuse for things from now on.
"Why didn't you do this thing?"
"My lava is not flowing, sir."
A shame that my hair makes for a very difficult time wearing hats.
*Disappears in a flash of light, reappearing a few seconds later holding Lucas and Lira in his arms*
Been a while since these two have been out visiting, say hi everyone.
*hugs Lucas and Lira*
Aww I miss you both cuties!
*waves* Hullo, Lucas and Lira. I am a Majestic Pirate Captain.
Already messaged him, Sil:)
(Thank you Luci.)
Greetings, Xanadu.
I am afraid I must depart, everyone. My pirate adventures must be placed on hold.
*departs*
Hello...?
Not sure I'm really here. Need to be working on my paper, but I wanted to comment for a bit so I can talk to someone.
(Hey Xan ^^)
FABIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII! *huggles*
No problem, Sil!:)
Lets go *takes Taw's hand and shadow walks to paris*
Hello people I haven't yet greeted!:')
(Hey Xan. Hey Fabz.)
Tawnee: *smiles*
*takes his hand* the city of love... Beautiful
@Clara: Unfortunately, it doesn't work. I just delve into stupid Star-like frustration and stuff. :P
(Hey Xan.)
I have a terrible memory, I'm sorry...!
I barely remember my own name, to be honest:P
Adam what...? And do I know you because of Blogland, Facebook, MvsM, MPYAS, Skype, Twitter, signings or through a friend...?
(hello Xan, how are you?)
I've been trying to watch an anime called Stein's gate recently but I can't find a decent way to watch because I can't buy it due to the fact that it's not sold where I live and I can't stream it legally either because you can't watch it in Britain for some reason. My brother told me that he had a dream the night before I started trying to watch the anime about him trying to watch steins gate and then being summoned into a cave with a giant talking frog O_O
I'm afraid of trying to watch it now. That might have been some kind of warning or something.
Paris . . .
I went on a school trip to Paris.
Some of the best memories of my life.
I got a certificate for talking because me and C were sat in the seats behind the teachers and they sort of eavesdropped on our conversations, and halfway through the trip one of the teachers came up to us and said she loved our conversations so much and that they were just brilliant . . .
I might keep mentioning that over the course of you knowing me, because it was kind of special to me. :)
Not as beautiful as you *gives taw another kiss*
(I've always wanted to go)
@Sykamere: *doesn't watch anime* *steathily slips out of conversation* *trips on my way out :P*
OOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHHHHH. YES. I DO REMEMBER YOU!
HELLO
LONG TIME NO SPEAK!
How are you?!
@Inky: I hope you get to go. :)
I want to go to Berlin . . . it sounds really interesting. :)
Hey Lucy, Silente, Star. [hugs]
Hello Xanadu, Garrett!
Hi Inky.
Sorry, I'm trying to get less nervous so I can make a phone call.
@Lantern: :/
If you're talking about what I think you're talking about, I get those moments too . . . *hugs*
Tawnee: *kisses him back* thank you, you make me feel like life is worth living
(I'm better thanks Xan)
(Thanks, but my life goal is to go to japan)
(Hi Fabi! How are you?)
(WBD, homework >.<)
I've been to Paris once. We stayed there for a day on our drive back from Germany. It was horrible though.
(*pauses at the idea of a life goal*
...)
SORRY
Had to go be a helpful ghost.
*hugs all who came and any who left :)*
*will be distant*
Aww thank you *manly blushes*
I think I should go. Mom's texting me now, which should help with the nervousness.
(Manly blushes?)
Tawnee: it's true... If be dead if it weren't for you
*looks into his eyes*
@Inky: :) Well, good luck with that too. :)
I stayed in Paris for a week, in a youth hostel that didn't have toilets in the rooms, but had shared (and gender-shared :O) accommodation down the corridor. But they had the best showers EVER. And when I was in the shower, C barricaded the door so I couldn't open it and then played a song that never fails to make me cry, because she wanted to make me cry.
:P
Okay, Lantern. :) *hugs* :)
I also wish to got Japan one day.
Akiba ftw :D
(Hello)
(Thanks star ^.^ japan is awesome... I'm wearing my black butler necklace)
(Hello Ed! How art thou?)
(Hello Star, Gar, Inky, Xan, anyone I missed, sorry)
Gtg. I'll be back in a bit.
(Fine thanks Inky.
Bye Xan)
(How are you?)
(Good good ^^)
(hello ed)
*looks into Taw's eyes* really?
well I'm very happy i helped you.
HELLO PEOPLE WHO APPEARED
BYE PEOPLE WHO VANISHED!
*hugs those who wish to be hugged and waves at the rest of the people*
Sorry! I'm talking to my mate. He's really distracting. :P
*Lament appears in bar*
(I am ecstatic , did well on my psychology test)
(Hello Luci, how are you?)
(Well done Inky)
(Hello Xan)
(Thanks
I dedicate this page to happiness! And things...)
Tawnee: *kisses him*
*walks into bar*

I said I would think about it
(Hear hear)
(Aww thanks)
W we kept our side of the deal... Please
I am good thank you! How are you?
Woaaaah. Have deds gone back to how they were when Sparky&Flame were a thing?!:O Woaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah.
I would say get Cole to help, but I do believe he wont be returning. His blood was useful hough
(Fine thanks Luci)
@Mushroom: ?
Cole is fine... He doesn't know I'm here... We turned you, you need to keep your side of the deal
He survived? You know me Inky, do I keep deals?
I thought you might...
*Drinks*
*kisses her* shall we go to the Eiffel tower?
Basic and short deds, as opposed to the nonsense we spout off:P
I'd do anything... Please *begs*
No. Cole will give you the location, you will find a way there
Fine *leaves*
*gets back to the cottage* hey Cole
Cole: where have you been
The pub, where is Ed
Cole : the Arctic... I don't know how we will get there
Tawnee: *nods* yes please. *hugs him*
*Appears in cottage*
*growls* what do you want?
To see if you reach Ed before he launches the missiles
Ok *shadow walks to the top* here we are, just look at the view
Missiles... Crap, I need to get to him!
Tawnee: *gasps* this is ... Wow
*Laughs* Cole, I didn't realise you could live without all that blood
(I am back.)
Cole: the vampire helped out, wolves are strong
Please ... You must take me to him!!
(welcome back.)
The vampire? Oh. I will not help *Vanishes*
(Hello Sil)
*shouts* no!
Cole: can't your friend shadow walk?
Gar! *rins him* hello? Are you busy?
Yes the view is magnificent *puts arm over taw's shoulders*
*phone rings* hello?
Gar.. Could you possibly take me to ed in the arctic?
(*hugs Soph*)
(Thank you.)
Minerve: I will call you when I have need of you, mortal. *Silente falls through the ground, and her vision fades to black before she reappears back in Blogland*
I HAVE RETURNED
(not really, doing homework)
@Mushroom: Yeah. XD I think we were more philosophical, anyway . . . :/
(Welcomes Tia !!!!)
Sure thing, ill be over in a jiffy *hangs up* taw i need to help Inks do you want to come?
Tawnee: *nods* of course, I want to help
*waits anxiously *
*blinks*
*looks at her severed stump*
*whimpers, ripping her jacket and applying pressure*
((Hello, Benjamin Lament. I don't think we've met. I am Tia Halcyion the Warrior Chronomancer. Pleasure to mmet you. *shakes his hand*))
*Tanya runs up to Silente*
*eyes her stump*
*laughs*
You freak...
*throws her revolver to Silente, the one with one bullet left*
In case you decide to end it.
*laughs again*
*leaves*
((I love you Sil, this is just rp))
*Halcyon ahh I am a lost cause
(Hear hear)
(Tia, it's me Ed)
(Lightening !!!!!)
Minerve: *shadows leak from Silente, landing in front of her* *the shadows solidify into her form* Stop, mortal. And I will heal your arm.
*watches Tanya, catching the gun*
I DID THIS FOR YOU!!!
*tucks the gun away*
(Whoops, hello Edward!)
*looks at Min*
