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...!

*smiles*
Just making sure they're both alive.
Frigga's with her. She likes her grandmother. They're good buddies.
Person I am watching with (PIAWW): i said to "shut up she is doin' it for a good reason and shes bein' cared 4 so stay outta it.
Me: No offence, he's new here... And his breath is bad...
My children are alive. Of course they are!
Leif: Grandma watches us! Daddy is king so he's busy a lot so Grandma watches us so we don't cause trouble! 'Cause Daddy did at our age.
*She chuckled and kissed both of her children on the forehead, and then Loki's cheek*
You odd children... I love you guys. I think I might have to help you chasing around your uncle...
*She beamed at Loki*
You'll help too, right...?
(His breath is better now. I gave him a mint.)
(Me: *Pauses movie to check her*
PIAWW: BULLCRAP!
Me: I married Loki. I can do what I want.
PIAWW: *silence*)
(SCRATCH THAT!! HIS BREATH IS FUCKING DEADLY!!!!)
Well that's a bit rude. *flicks person on the nose* bad.
(I flicked him for you.)
Thank you.
(Not one worry, Silente dear.)
Dear?
(I cannot call you 'dear'...? Oh, please accept my most sincere apologies...)
*wonders if Sir has possessed Deathy*
*or one of the other more 'proper' bloglandians*
I CAST YOU OUT UNCLEAN SPIRIT! GET THEE BEHIND ME!
(PIAWW: hi i am the aussie bogan and i would just like to say "good awn ya mateh!")
(I AM NOT BUBBA MOON!!!!!!!!)
(I lied about being back shortly I was coming back and the well, I hadn't done any of my math but it's done now. But I have to go because it's night time and I need to do a geography essay on cultural diversity and then read about Isis for my English debate tomorrow.)
*smiles*
I'm telling you what you can and can't think about. Go think about Mr Cooties.
Goodbye.
*turns around and runs away but looks back to wave at Sil, therefore, crashed into a tree. Stumbles past the tree, regains her balance and skips off*
(Hello and Goodbye Rose. Goodbye Sil. Goodbye Ghosters. Goodbye Blogland.)
I NEVER SAID BUBBA MOON!!! THAT WAS YOU!!! NOW GET THEE BEHIND ME AND RELEASE THE POOR CHILD YOU HAVE TAKEN!
(Bye Rave!)
(Did you, or did you not imply that that title of the short story? I shall not release this poor child. She has quite the amazing...
Uh...
Well...
She has quite amazing... Feet.)
*produces a cross*
*VAMPIRE EXORCIST*
RELEASE HER DARK EYED FIEND!
(I do believe that I am not some entity to be exorcised...)
(Msd...)
This doesn't appear to be working...
*looks at cross*
*hits Deathy on the head, hard, with the cross*
(*Screams in pain and clutches her head*
That is the wrong course of action, my dear! You do not harm another being in any way, shape or form!)
LEAVE THE GIRLS BODY!
This is my body, though the main entity has stepped out. I am her more... Proper side, though I will remain nameless. Names are unnecessary in this modern world. They label us, shape our persons.
If I remain nameless, I have not one single thing to hold myself back.
*pokes her with the cross*
Stevet.
Stevet...?
You shall be known as Stevet.
*falls from the sky using wings of fire to slow down before hitting the ground and giving Rose a hug*
Hello, Blogland! :)
I do not want a label! You shall not label me!
*She looked wearily at Tia and slowly hugged him back*
Good day, sir...
You shall be labeled Stevet!
Hey Tia.
*waves to Silly*
((Silly?))
*waves to Sil instead*
((Sir?))
I missed you, both of you...
I won't be labeled!! You shall address me as ma'am!
I'm sure you missed Rose. I do not believe we have met. I know you as Tia. I am nameless, however, another small part of Rose's mind, a part of her innermost being.
STEVET
Why do you request myself having a label...?
ḦƎȴłỡ
Good evening, Sir.
Because, Ms Tempest? I demand an answer! Why the name of 'Stevet'? Does that have some significance to you?
Stevet is a cool name...
I dedicate to vampire exorcists. As in exorcists who are vampires
Are you fond of the name? If that be the case, perhaps you should consider purchasing a canine or a feline?
Owww. Fixing your eyebrows hurts. And makes me wanna sneeze...
I have you for that Stevet
My name is not Stevet.
It shall never be.
It is
(Then what should we call you?)
It is not...
You shall address me as ma'am if the need arises...
Call her stevet.
*nods*
*looks at time*
SHEEEET!
*leaves*
You shall not address me by the name of Stevet.
(My author is starting to feel afully saddened and dejected. Her younger brother as said a few rude words to her...)
*awfully
*hugs Rose*
You're awesome, Rose!
(And who is Ma'am?)
(She is currently crying, which, in turn, is making it rather difficult to type. She sends her love, though.)
I am a small part of Rose, much the same as Judhipor. Rose, you see, is one very intricate being. She has names inside her mind. They are all specialised parts of her. Another of us, the famed Judhipor, is the strongest. She split.
I am one of her smaller and weaker names.
Where is my wife? That is who I want.
Sh is taking a momentary break from the stress of life. She specifically asked for me to take her role while she mingles with the warring names inside her mind.
*glares* Until such a time that my wife shows herself, I will be in the throne room. *walks out*
Zanida: He's moody today.
Mr Laufeyson, she would like me to inform you that, and I quote, 'I will explain all. I need to stop them'. I hope you understand. The names inside her mind have been roudy. She is trying to calm them down. If she reasons with them, you do not have to deal with a dark persona of hers.
If it would put any if your minds to ease, I can leave and hope it is Rose who regains control. Seven has been waiting for a little fun.
Very well. I know not why she does not ask her friend, Zafira, one of her children are good with the mind, are they not?
((Blah....msd quiz today.-Zaf
No. Stay in control.
Aro, I believe his name is. Rose is trying to get back to the controls, but she is struggling.
*She glanced towards Loki, then at Zan*
Please so not let us swallow our tongue. It was rather embarrassing the previous time.
*She smiled and closed her eyes, becoming limp and falling to the floor*
(When I die, I want my tombstone to offer free wifi so people will visit more often...)
(Sleep...)
Meh.
(You're not going to die any time soon, Rose.)
(Keep thinking that.
Now, goodnight.)
(Hello?)
(Hello Tia, how are you?)
(Hey, Gar!)
(I'm ok. How are you?)
(I'm coolz right now thanks)
(do you want to rp with me?)
( I'm going to China tomorrow.
And goshdarn, am I nervous xD
See you all sometime next week!)
(@Emerald Have fun in China!)
(I will continue to be here.)
Greetings my fellow huffleumfs!
Oh....
They're making the juniors take the PSAT's now I took them last year. My lunch that day: 1:18-1:40pm.
*dies*
-ZF
(That is enough time to eat something, is it not, Zafira?)
Hey Soph! Hey Zaf!
I be good! How be's yous eyes?!
That late?!?
Wow....
(My eyes are fine, thank you.)
Our sub was introducing himself and almost making a speech and then the announcements come on and he's just like oh.
Ok, it doesn't sound that funny but at the time it was amusing!
(Oh good! Wanna role play anyone?! Sophia? Zaf if you're here?!
(I see, Dugglyn.)
(I am willing to roleplay.)
(It was amusing. Highly amusing. But now I realize no one else laughed and I had stifle a snicker... so maybe not actually funny. Whatever.)
(Yay!)
*wanders around Blogland, looking for cheese*
(In a moment I'll brb. I have to take down attendance)
*tilts head at Dugglyn* What are you doing?
*her eyes are wild*
We need cheese!!! To build a cheese man!!!!!
(Hello Soph, Hello dugg
how are you both?)
(Hey Garry!! I'm pretty good! How be's yous?! How be's yous eyes?!)
I see. Have you considered visiting a doctor?
(I am average, yourself?)
(Ok, that was it! I'm back!
And you don't mind me calling you Garry do you? (To Gar/Garry))
*looks confused*
Why would I?!
A cheese man?
*shrieks*
Yes!!! A CHEESE MAN! Like a snowman but with CHEESE!!!!!! To stop the Big Bad Mouse!!!
You really should go to see a doctor.
I SHOULD NOT!!!!!! WE JUST NEED TO BUILD A CHEESE MAN!!! THE BIG BAD MOUSE IS COMING!!!!
*screams and faints*
Assuming that you are afraid of the big bad mouse, would it not be smarter to build a large mousetrap? Making a cheese man would not help you trying to sort out your imagination.
*is unconscious*
*tilts head at Dugglyn* *pokes her with her foot*
*doesn't move*
*groans quietly*
(yeah sure dugg why not.
to answer the question I'm good and my eyes are good too.)
Hey. Dugglyn. *shakes her*
(Oh good! :))) I don't wanna call you something you don't like!)
*sits straight up*
THE BIG BAD MOUSE IF COMING!!!!!
*faints again, her head thunking on the ground*
(I feel somewhat sorry for the girl sat at the front of the bus Dragona is currently on.
She seems very quiet. Two girls who go to the same school as her came on the bus and sat down on the seats beside her. They did not know her name - they had to ask. She clearly doesn't like them. They are also loud and overpowering her in the conversation - she couldn't speak, even if she'd want to. The two girls clearly disliked her also, but were definitely only being polite because her father was there. I get the impression that if she had been buy herself, the other two girls would have not been as nice.
I hate loud people. And I feel sorry for quiet people who do not get their voices heard.)
*sighs and slaps Dugglyn* Wake up you bloody crazy woman.
(Yeah.... poor her.
At school I'm quiet. I blend in, no one notices me. It's kinda nice though because I do have many friends and Idk. It's nice to be quiet and bland in sometimes. But then when loud people you don't like come and do that. Yeah.
Poor her...)
(I will be back in a moment.)
*jumps up*
CARZY!!!! IT'S CARZY!!!!!
And the Big Bad Mouse is coming. If you're not going to help me, don't stop me.
*storms off*
Now where would I find cheese....
(Ok!)
Gtg, pie!!
(I am back.)
(I'm still here,
just saying)
Its not decent when your day starts at 7:10am. Getting up at 5:55am and your day ends 2:25pm.-ZF
(Sorry, I disappeared briefly.)
(Hello, Sophia (and Dragona!) I agree, it's not easy to make your voice heard, and some people are just like that...)
(@Zaf That sounds... torturous.)
(I do not like loud people at all. I am introverted, somewhat. Not shy - just introverted. And I hate loud people. I want to punch them.)
(Have will power Zaf, once its over you can get some sleep)
(Good plan soph)
Hi. :)
(Hello, Star. How are you?
Thank you, Garrett.)
(Hello Star, how be you?)
(Your welcome soph)
Good, thanks. :)
How's everyone else? :)
(Hello Soph, Gar and Star!)
(wbd for 30 minutes)
(Alright, Tia.)
(I'm good thanks Star)
(Ok Tia)
(Anyone done anything interesting today?)
Um.
Came out to a couple of friends?
(I was bored all day. Now I am aiding Dragona writing an essay about the restoration of royal authority by 1166. Which is incredibly boring.
Most of my help consists of, "Use the word somewhat.")
(In what way Star?)
(if you want to tell me)
(sounds like fun Soph)
( I am here my darlings XD)
@Garret: Well, I think might be asexual. :P So yeah.
@Sophia: *laughs*
Oh dear . . .
Well. I hope you two have fun. :P
Hi Inky! :)
(Heya Star ^^ how art everybody?)
Good, thanks, Inky. :)
(Hello, Chloe.
No, Star. This isn't very fun.)
@Sophia: Yeah . . . I guessed. :/
I have just worked out how to bluetooth multiple pictures at once . . . :O
My life is completed. O_O
(Heya Soph
Are you average today?)
(I am average today.)
(Good godd^^)
(Better go to golf now
Be back laters)
*tacklehugofdooms Inks* Hello my friend how are you?
Fours, Inky. :(
(Oh hey Gar, I'm good
I'm just on the way out *quick hug*
Be back later)
(ok have fun Inks)
(*surpriseTacklehugofdooms Star*)
(you didn't see your tackle hug coming did you Star?)
(Star, do you like good charlotte?)
(I am somewhat bored of history.)
O_O!
No, I did not see that coming!
Um. I havent' heard them. :P
#socillyoutoftouch
(I get it. Some guy fucked up his job as a king and everything went into anarchy and another person had to sort it out. Why they have to write an essay on that I have no idea.)
(this is a good song by them
http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=y-jC3H_8Dk4 )
(I'm part ninja so that's why you didn't see it coming) :)
(soph you should get dragona to put that as his essay (only joking here but i would be funny)
*socially
@Sophia: :P
Idk. Because they took history?
(That was another one of my helpful suggestions, Garrett.
Star - yes, but there's not much to write about.)
I see what you mean, Garrett. :)
@Sophia: I'm sure thye can find something to write about if they try hard enough. I like to think I'm good at talking about nothing and pretending it's something. :P
(what can i say, great minds think alike)
(That may be a good idea, Star. I will tell Dragona to talk about nothing but act as if it is something useful.)
(you like it then Star?)
@Garrett: And idiots seldom differ. :)
. . . it's something my dad says. :P
@Sophia: XD
Just let him write his essay. :P
@Garrett: Yes, I think so. :)
(I don't understand. They are supposed to argue someone was successful in restoring royal authority because of the fact they managed to close down all but ten illegal coin mints between 1157 and 1167? Why? Surely a success would have been all of them being closed down?)
(good good,
i like that saying, I might keep it thank you for it :)
)
(you have a point there soph)
(brb food)
(Alright, Garrett.)
(Star, are you here?)
(Tia - maybe not. People seem to have gone quiet.)
(Hmm... I guess you're right. And so my question about asexuality goes unanswered.)
(You could always consult Google.)
HELLO
I spent over a WEEK on google. It's possibly easier just to ask me. Although, of course, I am only as reliable as any other idiot on google. :P
(Or you could consult Star herself, it seems, now.)
(Yes, it does seem, now. :) Hi, Sophia. :))
(Hello again, Star. How are you?)
Good, thanks. :) I just completed a card and then a couple of blog posts about it and now . . . I . . . have . . . nothign to do . . .
Hmm.
How're you? :)
(I am average, thank you.)
@Sophia: That's good, considering. :)
(Hello, Star! From what I've seen, asexuality means you're not sexually attracted to any gender. My question is this: Could you love someone, or be attracted to them non-sexually?
(And do you see genders?)
(*flops onto the floor* I'm here.)
@Tia: . . .
Hmm.
I just told you to ask me rather than you the internet, so I am now going to look like a total hypocrite and copy-and-paste from said internet. :P
Second question first - of course I see genders. :P I imagine I see genders as much as the average person sees genders.
HANG ON
DINNER
DAMMIT
MSD
FIRST QUESTION COMING ON NEXT COMMENT IN CASE I DON'T GET TO FINISH IT
(I will be back soon.)
(Going to dinner too bye!)
