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...!

*She whispered the next part into his ear, almost breathed it*
Then I'm happy...
*smirks, wrapping an arm aroud her*
*She leaned her head on his shoulder and sighed contentedly*
I want you to teach me to fight, Loki. Not Thor, not your sister, not anyone else. I want you...
Rose, I could never. I do not fight like others.
I want you to!! You fight better than the others... And I trust you...
*She kissed his arm*
Please...?
I understand you trust me...
Being me? I don't think that's enough for you. I think you deserve more than little old me.
*sighs*
*leaves a light kiss on Rose's left cheek*
Goodbye, Rose.
((It's nearly one here, and school tomorrow, so I must go to sleep now. Good night, Rose. Good night, Zaf.))
Loki. Please. I want to fight like you... Not them...
(*Smiles and waves to Tia*
See you later! Sleep well, too.)
You need my magic.
Then teach me the best that you can. It will be a challenge, I know, but please...
(Swapping to recess in a sec...)
I can try to teach you.
Thank you!
*She kissed his cheek and grinned*
Thank you, my love.
Of course, love.
*She took his hand and kissed each of his fingers*
I love you...
*She stood up and straddled his lap, grinning*
You're mine... Forever...
Forever, and ever.
*She took his face in her hands and kissed him roughly*
*kisses her back, rough as well*
*She pressed him back against the throne and pressed herself against him*
Loki...
*appears in their room*
*She frinned and pushed him back into the bed*
I love you...
I love you too. *takes off his own armor
Good boy... You know well...
*She giggled and smiked down at him*
Do what you wish.
*She laughed and kissed along his chest*
I might take you up on that...
(In class... msd)
Oh, I dare you.
(Are you still here...?)
*She chuckled darkly and walked her fingers along his chest*
You dare me, huh...? Mmm...
I do dare you.
(Sorry for distance, I'm in class... :/)
*She giggled and kissed his nose*
You'd like that, wouldn't you...?
(A+
omg.
wow.)
(^.^)
(*Cuddles*)
(*Starts singing Love Love Love*)
Knock knock!
Who's there?!
Me!!

What?! But I'm not you!
No me you!!!
*dies of confusion*
Oh. Oh my. *nudges the body with his foot* *whistles and walks away quickly*

*wonders why El thinks she's dead*
*it's not her it's just two random people*
*should really sheep...*
BAAAHHHHH!

Pie!
A couple wise words o wisdom before I leave.
Stop procrastinating. Starting tomorrow.
I adjusted to be indecisive. Now I'm not sure.

[hugs Elleni]
(Hello.)
(I will continue to be here.)
(Guess who's going th school on an empty stomach AND dehydrated.)
(I'm alone....oh.)
(Hello, Silente.)
(How are you?)
(*hugs Soph and El* I'm going to have fainted by mid day...)
-non cannon *presses play*-
*whimpers at the cold hook on her neck*
*shaking already*
*at the dark hunters mercy*
(Have something to eat and drink. Have some toast.)
Dark Hunter: *tilts head at the eye colour change*
Dark Hunter: *steps back, charging his gauntlet with electrical energy and aiming it at Elleni* *is glad he wears a helmet*
(Its more along the lines of, if I try its not going to stay down.)
*her systems are starting to shut down fully*
*is starting to grow colder, numb*
Dark Hunter: *tilts head at Silente, contemplating*
*charges his gauntlet with white energy and aims it at her, and Silente begins to heal*
*shivers and curls up in the white light, starting to heal*
*looks at the raven in horror*
*crawls over to El*
Oh god....what have I done?!
Dark Hunter: *tilts head*
I-I'm sorry El...oh god...I'm so sorry!
*gently strokes her feathers*
I will fix this...I don't know how but....but I will...
Dark Hunter: *watches silently*
*looks miserable*
I'm so sorry...so, so sorry...I...oh god sorry....I can't believe she did this...I did this...
Weird wedding tradition.
I'm sorry...
*strokes her feathers more*
I'll...I can let her out again? To try fix you?
Dark Hunter: *steps forward and holds the hook of his blade to Silente's throat, the other to her back* *nods*
(I'm picking up drumming again... Little brother possibly just broke my most trusting friendship so I'm going to be out for a while... Gotta take it out somewhere, yeah?
*Cries*
*Continues playing Chasing Cars by Snow Patrol on drums*)
(Hello, Rose.)
*tenses*
*understands*
*closes her eyes and the nose bleed starts*
*clenched her fists and her eyes change to silver*
*Onwa opens her eyes, looking pissed, but then smiles at the raven*
Dark Hunter: *taps a sigil on his shoulder, and presses his swords closer to her throat and back*
*uses gravity to bring el back*
*changes her back human*
(gtg)
(Goodbye, Silente.)
Dark Hunter: *fades out, fading in in front of Elleni* *fades out with her, and fades in back in the clearing*
(I may have to leave. Goodbye.)
*is half-watching rp, half watching Robocop*
*has stopped watching rp for obvious reasons*
John and Hank Green are awesome.
Just putting that out there before I disappear.
*Rose slipped out of bed and, after taking Roland's mobile, quietly made her way to the balcony and closed the doors behind her.
She sat on the railing as she dialled a familiar number. A gruff voice answered her and she smiled softly*
Rose: I know, it's early, but I needed to call you before I woke up the rest of the house. You said that if I ever needed anything from you, that I could just call, remember, Gig?
*The man on the other end of the line, an old friend of hers named Gigabyte, groaned*
Gig: I do not need you to drag me into you worries, Death. You have already been plaguing my nightmares. I will not help you.
Rose: Please... I need you. If you do this for me, I'll never call you again. Ever. I promise. Just meet me in the park. I know you know which one I'm talking about. I need you to find two people for me. It's important...
*Gigabyte sighed heavily and she could almost hear his eyes rolling*
Gig: I shall meet you there not one minute over twenty, alright? You have a half hour to be decent and be ready. Do not forget, this hurts.
Rose: I remember. Thank you. I shall see you soon.
*She hung up and walked back to Roland, deleting the call, and kissed his forehead*
I'm going out, love... I've arranged a meeting with the man I spoke of yesterday. He'll find them.
*Roland turned slightly, opening his eyes.*
Roland: Will you be okay? Shall I accompany you my love?
*Marrok moved slightly again, he was sleeping beside Roland, cuddled up with his blanket. He moved again as he turned, facing Rose, but didn't wake up.*
Hi anyone who's here...
I should be fine, darling. You can come if you'd like. Whatever he says, don't listen to him. We have... A past... Let's leave it at that, alright?
*She glanced down at Marrok and her face softened. She hunkered down beside him to kiss his hair*
I love you...
(Hey Chi)
(Trying not to cry. I have contact lenses in. It's not good for them.
I see why Elleni ships you and Blake... you two seem like a couple...maybe he's even starting to believe it himself... maybe i shouldn't come back...
(Chi!! No, we're just friends, okay?? Just friends. He is yours and I accept that, Chi. I'd never make a move on him, I swear!!)
(Hey Xan)
It seems like he's completly forgotten about me... and what about the twins, has he been looking after them and the house? How old are they? Have i missed their first birthday?
(Last time I heard from him, he was talking about his fatherly duties... He was prancing through Blogland and then sprinted home.)
I cry every time i read this. Because i see you and Blake getting closer and closer and it fucking kills me. I'm reading this in class and i'm going through so much shit right now and all i can think about is John and how much i'm missing him and then i read that... his life is continuing as normal. RPing every night, with you... and it makes me feel so upset...
*sighs* Good, i'm glad...i miss the twins... i want to come back so badly... but i have 6 weeks left. It would have been 3 but i sent a message to John saying i loved him...
(If it makes you feel any better, I wont talk to him again, okay?)
Hey...adam...
I better go.. English next...
Tell him i love him and that i sit listening to our song whenever i can and i never stop thinking about him...
No Deathy...that won't help... and that would make you sad...
(I'll tell him, Chi.
And don't worry about me, alright? It'll make you feel better so I'll forget that he exists. He'll be all yours. I wont go near him.
I promise.)
Deathy i don't want that. You know i don't. And now i feel guilty I'm used to being upset. I'm just jealous because you can have my boyfriend and talk to him but i can't.
I will now Adam.
Adam, i'll try. I've already been but i'll try and go again.
Deathy just leave it, keep talking to him like that if you want. I'm just being Jealous.
(Chi. I'll do it, okay. It'll be hard for a little bit, but I'll get used to it. <3 )
(Jealously sucks.
I won't go near him.)
*hugs Chi*
You're amazing. And beautiful. And I love you. And Blake loves you. The twins go one august the second.
Adam! >.<!
Anyway i'm gonna go... I love you Sil, you too Adam. I'll try and see you on the 7th.
Deathy, it's fine... i'll just not read the blog.
(And sil i meant like...if he sped up the aging or something cause i don't want them to be one forever :) )
(Chi, it'll be easier if I don't talk to him, okay?)
Sorry, love. I fell asleep. Msd going in with Vinette today.
(It's alright, Loki.)
(Shower...)
(hello everybody)
(Back...)
(Hello Rose, how are you?)
(That was a lie.
Now I'm back.
I'm alright, Gar. I'm sick. Dry throat, super thirsty and constantly burping (which is my body's early stages of being sick.../vomiting...))
Call me what you want, but I want to be really mean and dedicate a page to myself. Well, dedicate this page to a dedication about myself. I still have four undedicated pages, and I'll have on for all of them eventually, but right now, I dedicate this page to this;
Blogger Aretha Tesla- roleplaying (MORE THAN HAPPY TO TALK) said...
I dedicate this page to Death Rose, one of the absolute strongest people I know, no matter how often she claims to be the opposite. Even though she doesn't always show who she really is, I know her very well, and I know how amazing she is. She has a spark in her that nobody else in the universe has. Even her name is completely unique and beautiful! She is truly representative of some of the best qualities of humanity. She is kind and welcoming, and sticks up for people when they need it. The first time Brave came into Blogland he was basically just getting bashed for being rude and having nonexistent grammar, and even though she didn't know him, she stood up for him. That was more than I did. And she's a better person than I am. In fact, she's a better person than most people. There are precious few who can go through the things she's gone through and still be as incredible as she is. There really just aren't even words for what she is. Completely ineffable. And I don't care if she doesn't believe it- that's the truth, and no one will never convince me otherwise.

(Hello, Gar!)
(how are you Tia?)
(Angry at myself, doing homework. And you?)
(I'm ok, listening to still remains)
(why are you angry, if you don't mind me asking?)
(Because I keep screwing things up for myself.)
(well don't be angry, life has its ups and downs but you never know what's around the corner)
(If you say so. I'll just ruin everything anyway)
(you won't unless you want to ruin everything)
(And maybe I do.)

(Hello My darlings ^^)
(Hello, Chloe!)
(Hey Tia, how are you?)
(I'm average. How are you?)
(I am good, but slightly...confused?
This Vid baffles me somewhat
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tnrvTeSswqU)
(Hello.)
(Today again a beautiful woman comes to me
That smiling you will become my new wife
A forbidden deal with the devil, this power placed in my hands
All the women that look at me are falling enchanted
With the power to charm woman
The man, to the basement of the mansion where he lives alone
Brings one by one the women he likes
Building up his harem
The taste of libido that hid poison, the pleasure of the blade that cut
Blood and sweat mixed together, turn before long into drops of purple
Once the clothes come off, there’s no return to reality
)
(Hello Soph ^^)
(Can't watch it now, sorry.)
*Looks up from her equipment, tilting her head*
*drops her tools*

I am sick. Meh eh eh eh eh. :((
I'm staying home from school today. ://

(Gar, do you wanna rp again with Tawnee?)
(yup please,)
(i just watched that vid you put the link for, why are they beating each other to death with sticks?)
*drops her spoon, running out with tears in her eyes*
((I hope you get better soon, Dugg!))
(found this weird song....
Was I born to be in love with you?
Through this wall I mumble alone, "love me"
I keep hunting out your personal love information
In the closed door of myself
I wish I could touch your face, stroke your face
My sweetheart!
Oh my, oh my you have a guest?
What a pretty girl she is
Tell me how much you love her
I'll kill her and pack her up
Burning photos of that girl
I wonder what she's doing now LOL
You can do anything you want to me
Because I love you this much, see?
I want to keep you
Completely riveted
And I want to have a collection of you
Why are you crying?
What wrong? Oh, this one?
I'll affectionaly hold a cardboard box
That you will be put into when you're dead
I'll put a present behind the door
A kitten head every single day for you, a cat lover
Burning photos of that girl
I wonder if she ever existed LOL
"I love you" such a cliche doesn't satisfy me
But makes me want to puke
"I will..."
"Eternally"
"Love You...")
(Thanks!
Oh, and check this out! My science teacher showed it to our class...
https://m.youtube.com/#/watch?v=qWAF9PgDg2c )

Tawnee: *stands there, shivers*

(I quite enjoy a soft tune everynow and then. Like 'im yours' by Jason Maraz)
(do you know this Soph?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BNCfHKCZVy8)
(Never heard that. I usually like things with a kick to it - even with food and drink where I enjoy ginger and chilli. My taste in music is somewhat similar.)

(I don't like ginger...everyone has seemed to have disappeared)
(I love I'm Yours!!!!!!!!!)
Tawnee: *takes blanket* Okay, I guess *shakes head* I keep having nightmares
