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...!

(*moves her arm back*)
(till I can leave home
my parents are really making me feel bad)
(*moves Sophs arms again* hug.)
(*moves her arm back* No.)
*stops hugging Soph*
:)
*hugs Chloe* Aww *warm, warm hug*
(*hugs Tia*)
(*moves Sophs arms, again* yes.)
(No. I don't want to hug anyone. I don't hug. I hate physical contact)
(I'm hugging you till you either hug me back or physically force me to let go. *still hugging*)
(I choose the latter option. *pushes Silente away*)
*disentangled herself from Chloe and runs over to grab Silente's hand and hug Soph together*
(@Soph so is Doctor Who a joke now?)
(Oh. Didn't think about that.)
*dumps another shovel full of dirt onto Min's shrine, still missing one arm*
(*vanishes because apparently authors can do that now* *appears elsewhere in an undisclosed location* *sits down and curls up*
That would depend on your definition of joke, Tia.)
(*listens to the pretty reckless* I believe in expression though music)
(try watching some vines, they might make you laugh :) (
(Vines are funny as heck
But now I wanna just drown in self pity whilst listening to 'going to hell')
(I have never heard of the vines.)
*rushes back to Chloe* stop it with the self pity, you're awesome ahh *pulls her into a hug, in which they stay...*
(*hugs tia* thank you. But my dad said if I don't sign up for this program in college I'll be off here permenantly... And if that happens I will run)
(*hugs tia* thank you. But my dad said if I don't sign up for this program in college I'll be off here permenantly... And if that happens I will run)
*keeps burying min's shrine*
*its tiring, with only one arm*
Phaestra: *appears in a flash of light which solidifies into her form*
*nods at phae then goes back to burying the shrine*
Phaestra: ... Mortal? Why are you missing an arm?
I removed it
*still burying the shrine*
Phaestra: Why?
Aww, Chloe, don't run...
(I am close to speechless...)
Because I made a mistake. The cost of which is, for now, an arm.
*dumps more soil on the shrine*
*come on minny..*
(But the more they say I'll b at a disadvantage getting into vet UNi makes me resent being a vet even more )
You scare me, Silente.
*huggles Chloe*
Inky . . .
*hugs*
You seem to be in a really sucky situation . . . I'm sorry. :/ If there's anything I can do to help, tell me, okay?
(*cwtches Star and Tia* thank you both, I wishe I could give you a cwtch in real life
Star there is nothing you can do, I just need to get on with it. I tried to be a good daughter but I can't keep it up much longer)

(Thanks Gar *hugs Gar* I will keep emailing you
I know you r not a stalker )
(Thanks Gar *hugs Gar* I will keep emailing you
I know you r not a stalker )
@Inky: :( I don't think it's you who needs to adapt to improve the daughter-parent relationship for the better, personally.
But yeah . . . I didn't think I could. :/ But if I can, I will. :)
(Thanks Gar *hugs Gar* I will keep emailing you
I know you r not a stalker )
(Thanks Star I will tell you, just as anyone can tell me if they need help)
:)
*nods in agreement with Inky*

(Sure.)
(hmmm, lets see
I dedicate this pages to all you people out there. You are all awesome people and I consider myself very fortunate to know every single one of you.
I go on about you guys all the time to my rl friends, and they think its weird, because we only know eachother over the internet. However, I do not in anyway think less of you than my friends who I see everyday)
*lives in Nottinghamshire*
*nearly Wales*

(lol we should, Gar)
*miiiiinnnnn come onnn*

How's life Phae?

(Hear hear)
(Tia: such is life my friend)
(SPOONS!!!)
(do you fancy some rp tonight Inks?)

*jumps and stares at the regrowing arm*
But- what- why??
(Thanks Gar ^^
Okay, after you ^^)
Phaestra: Why not?
You don't even know how I lost it..
Phaestra: How did you lose it?
I..I gave myself to min...to protect the others...and she told me to...so I did...but...but I was disobedient so the deals off..
Phaestra: You did what?
I wanted to protect the other's...I was such a shit friend to them so...I did what I could..
(Gar?)
Phaestra: No. Do not make deals with my sister. Ever.
I've learnt that NOW. Sorry..
(sorry back (-_-)
*looks at taw* that was fun *laughs*
(It's ikay)
Tawnee: *smiles* it was *cuddles up to him*
Phaestra: You should have learned it before.
*cuddles* so what do you fancy doing today?
Tawnee: *thinks* hmmmm, what about the beach?
I know. But I didn't. Now I have.
*focuses once more on burying the shrine*
Ok love *goes to get ready*
Tawnee: *puts on summer dress*
*starts putting on bandages*
*stops*
*leaves the bandages*
*smiles*
*comes back in wearing a t-shirt and shorts* you look pretty *gives her a quick kiss*
Tawnee: *kisses him* Thank you
*does a little twirl*
You are looking dapper
Phaestra: Good. What did she do to you?
Thank you, *puts high tops on*
(i like wearing high tops) you ready to go?
Not much. Removed some limbs. Caused some pain.
*waves a hand in the air as if brushing it off*
Stuff.
(high tops are cool ^^)
Tawnee: *puts on sunhat, the floppy kind* lets go
(STUFF??? Minerve tortured the heck out of her!)
*takes hold of Tawnee's hand and shadow walks to the beach*
*puts badass sunglasses on*
we here *smiles*
(She didn't do much. It could've been a lot worse.)
Tawnee: *smiles*
*sighs happily* I cant remember the last time I felt this...good
Well I'm happy asking as your happy.
(a funny song: http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=TywmpMQYojs)
Phaestra: *tilts head* I know exactly what she did.
*dumps a heap of soil*
It's fine. It's over. Done. Finished.
*as long
(You cut off your arm and ate it. How much worse could it have been?)
(omg THAT IS HILERIOUS!!!)
Tawnee: Shall we swim?
(Much, much worse.
For one example, if said arm had been grated before removal and the gratings and blood used for butter and a filling in a sandwich and then she'd been forced to eat it.)
(*fist punches the air in triumph* i knew you would like it, because its so funny XD)
(@Sil Who even are you?)
Sure, race you.
*dies* -Zaf
Danny Boy: http://youtu.be/OCbuRA_D3KU
(here is a song I think you may like, you may not though. it is by my favourite band and it was suggested when I watched your song
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wCgx8zM3woQ&app=desktop)
*hugs Zaffy* What's up?
(Uh..I am me?)
Tawnee: *runs towards the sea at inhumn speed*
*splashes into the water*
(hi Zaf, how art thou?)
Sleepy. I have a Loki in my head.-Zaf
(nawww, you should sleep if that's the case)
(*gags the Loki so the Zaffy can sleep*)
*tries to shove salt down Silente's throat*
He doesn't like being touched. I'm not gonna sleep yet since Mom is gettinf coffee!-Zaf
(are you here Gar?)
*laughs when his attempt fails*
*tightens his gag*
*shadow walks to the water* *splashes Taw with water*
(Hello Zaf)
Tanwee: *laughs*
*splashes him back*
Phaestra: What is finished?
(yup i was just watching the song vid, that is a good song XD)
*dives under the water and grabs Taw's legs*
(They have other random videos aswell, like club villain and booty store)
Tawnee: *squeaks* Gar
*goes under *
*waves* -Zaf
(I'll watch those later)
*surfaces with Taw* that was for cheating in the race *laughs* just kidding.
The deal. She called it off. The deal's done.
*dumps more dirt*
(*waves back*)
Tawnee: *laughs* cheating, my ass. just cos you got beaten by a gril
*girl
(WATCH THIS!!!https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YoB8t0B4jx4)
Phaestra: I will help you to stop her.
*laughs* if you say so.
(Inks email from me, its a funny one you'll like it)
(okay) Yes, I say so *winks*
*winks back* shall we race back?
(Damn phone, the link won't work)
Thank you..
*another heapful of dirt*
Funny. She broke of the deal cause I wouldn't promise not to bury her shrine and yet now she doesn't seem to care..
Phaestra: I know not what my sisters thoughts are.
(Gar, look up spider dog)
Tawnee: yes *pushes him under water and runs for the shore*
I doubt anyone does.
*dumpage of dirt*
*gets up and shadow walks to the shore and starts running*
(ok i will now.)
Phaestra: Other than herself. She will have a plan in place.
... Mortal. I do not believe it is wise to completely bury her shrine.
Tawnee: *whines* hey! No fair!
Why not?
*stops burying it*
(just looked it up, lol that is a funny idea i like it.)
What's "no fair"?
(I replied to ur email
I would like my dog to wear it)
Tawnee: shadow walking to shore *tries to stay serious but can't *
(ok thank you.)
(if you did put him in one, he would look so funny XD)
(I know !! He's only a dwt)
*offers cuddle* I'm sorry, i did cheat.
Phaestra: If I know my sister, she will have set up a trap.
Tawnee: *smiles* it's okay, I did push you under the water
True, shall we get ice-cream?
Hmm...good point.
*sets the shovel aside*
I've done most of it anyway.
*dusts off her hands*
(can you resend the email please,it has come)
Tawnee: I've never had icecream
(*hasn't come)
really? *looks surprised* well lets definitely go get some then.
(Thank you and I've replied)
(I re sent it)
Tawnee: *smiles* let's go
*walks to the ice cream shop holding Taw's hand romantically*
(Ok boyo)
Tawnee: *blushes slightly * hmmm what flavour do you recommend?
(Your welcome butt) (Welsh speak ftw!!)
Phaestra: Good.
Thanks for..uh...regrowing my arm.
(*high fives Gar* true true XD)
I guess Rose is asleep. Loki is bothering me.-Zaf
Phaestra: That is fine.
(I will be back soon.)
(Gar, thePhil Collins song you posted earlier...thankyou)
(kk Soph)
*nods*
*stands awkwardly, out of small talk*
Zafira: Small talk not your forta, Silente?
*glares at Zaf*
Hello
Zafira: Hello! What is happening, I assume death and destruction is in the midst? *seems happy, and not as stressed as she usually is, perhaps from the fact the cases she had have finally been closed*
When isn't it..
*is quite wary, for obvious reasons she doesn't trust Zaf in the slightest*
Nothing that can't be handled though.
Zafira: You don't trust me. I can see it, Silente. My own Elders do not trust me either, perhaps it is because of what Ravel has done, and how I am living with him. I do not know, but I do know why I tried to make you different. *a flicker of fear is evident in her voice now, as if saying the man's name will cause her pain* Do you remember Lucifer? That demon overlord? He influenced me, Zanida figured it out. I stand here now, asking you to perhaps forgive me, for I was wrong.
You rewrote me Zaf. That's a tad hard to forgive. Add to that the beheading the salt water the other assassination attempts..well you can't exactly expect me to be all love and peace.
(Gar, are you still among us?)
Loki, stop being a pain. Your queen needs her beauty sleep, not that it will ever make her attractive in any way, shape or form.
Zafira: I know. Do you think I feel wonderful about that? No, I do not. Perhaps you will learn to forgive me and move on, it is all I ask. I really do not wish to become vampire dinner.
(Hey Death!)
Suddenly, Blake!
(That is my new entrance. Always.
Sorry for poofing forever ago.)
morning Rose.
hey everyone.
*surprise cuddles Rose* Hey! :)
(Hello Em ^^
Hi Blake ^^ that reminds me of the song called 'suddenly seymour')
(hey Blake and emerald and death. How are you all?)
You won't become vampire dinner. I wouldn't eat you even if I could.
(Never heard of it, sorry.)
So what have I missed? Deaths? Births? New ships? Maybe even a fight?
