On Thursday night, I accepted the award for Best Children's Book of the Year (Senior) for Mortal Coil, to rapturous applause from everyone who loves me. Yes, fine, that means I was applauding myself as I made my way to the stage, but it still counts, dammit...
Here is the beautiful award on my mantlepiece...
I also picked up a SECOND award, for I am THAT brilliant- this time it was for the Book of the Decade thing I won a few months back. Here are BOTH awards on my mantlepiece...
Yes. I have a cool house.
Thanks to everyone who voted- it's because of you, my Minions, that the Skulduggery books do so well at things like this. And I just LOVE getting up on stage and making fun of everyone. Makes me so happy...
And, now that I've remembered how to post photos, I'll add a few random ones...
These are home-made jackets worn by two girls who came to signings a few months ago, one in the UK and one in Germany... Sweeeeet.
And here are two pictures of kittens I used to have, before I found good homes for them...!

Yes Mr Landy, that IS all I am commenting on about your blog...
Because those kittens are SOOOOO cute!!!
yeah, awesome kittens
aww... kittens
well done on the awards,
and i think you should dedicate book 6 to your devoted minions
They could have come to ME
MY kittens
I second Thrice's idea
mortal coil was on the late late toy show and on an add with a load of other booke for adults, these booke are getting SO popular
I will say something else about your pictures...
What's that skeleton thing in front of your award?
mabye others willl too, you see, we say all the important stuff on this page, before dragona arrives and bores us and talks about him owning camelot again
he lives in his own world
is that kitten being thrown up in the air???
Dragona owns Camelot?
I mean, that's not his own world, that's like his world where Flo is Maiden Marien...
Is that Robin Hood?
Well, Gwen then
Kittens...
yellow every1...
yeah, i suppose he makes flo become part of his world too

Vampireness = North-East England

I get a big trophy for our form room... I wanted one to take home :( and my friends got 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th... so we get 5 trophies for positions... and then one for the best overall form :)
dunno, i didnt notice
-7o and Blizzarding... traditional yorkshire weather :P
Let it snow! Let it snow! Let it snow!
THOSE KITTENS ARE SOOOOOOO CUTE!
Kallista... it's too dirty, even for here... it was funny though...
must've been 1 crazy conversation
I WANT SNOW! it snowed earlier..for 5 mins. the history class went insane with joy but then it stopped :(
cool.....i wish i knew what snow felt like..... never snows where i live ...
here is covered in snow, and i live at the top of a cliff
we have got... 9 inches of snow...
My form got the attendance award!!!!
Which happened.... once before in 3 years
We also had 3 people off for 3 days,,, which puts us below 95%
I think they made a mistake...
where do you live
I won the boys cross country :P
Yorkshire... that's all I'm going to say...
*points at Thrice*
STALKER!
i live in dubai..united arab emirates...it is really hot here...
Wow... James Bond just got nailed on GoldenEye... by me... with my trusty Sigmus 9 :D
Whooo more points!
dubai, is that like a desert
Come on Russia... we can beat them idiotic MI6 guys... RUSSIA RULE!
yup
I never try in cross country
Since my 'running buddy' (the person I used to run with) left for YORKSHIRE...
... evil Yorkshire...
... I now run with some one else.
Who really struggles and has very bad asthma.
I try to be really supportive and encourage her...
... but how can I thinking of such CUTE kittens???
it might snow, last year it snowed in india for 2 mins
*punches Lunar*
No one calls Yorkshire evil :P
orius has asthma
FAMILY! they are home! maybe they can turn the heating up...im too forzen to try..
really? india?
the computer room is cold with radiators in the summer
YORKSHIRE IS EVIL!!!!
and I'm a ghost... punches go through me
snow in india, yeah. only for 2 mins
http://thrice-dozer-bored.blogspot.com
Yorkshire is awesome...
Aww, cute kittens!
evil yorkshire
Anyway, Thrice will defend me... If I duck behind him before he notices...
Thrice, would you defend me?
hi sarthacus
Anyway... the conversation we had was so much better than doing maths... very funny... we got to sit where we wanted you see... so me and my friends sat on a table...
yeah sure
Hi Sarthacus...
SEE???
CUTE KITTENS
KITTENS TAKE OVER THE WORLD!!!!
cold...
Kittens arn't that evil
YEY
YEY
YEY
YEY
YEY
YEY
Thrice will defend me!!!!
Um... How tall are you?
I know... snow and me make yorkshire awesome :P
i will deploy kittens to teppt people to join the munchkin army, they will bee our greatest weapon
*chuckles*
Not tall enough...
I had no school today!
... My maths teacher came to the house just as I came and said "LETS HOPE FOR ANOTHER DAY OFF!"
And for once, I agree with her.
ii think i'm less than 5 foot
Did you know, the first time I had a conversation with Dragona he punched me? Then stabbed me? Does he not KNOW how to treat a lady?
i ma tiny, 4th smallest in my class
I DO know how to treat a lady... I treat every un-annoying lady nice :P well... you WERE annoying at the start...
i went to york in year 6 with the school :| it was terrible. we went to the york dungeons and had to get out after five mintutes as most of the children were screaming their heads off and sobbing. i didnt, but i kept saying "miss...i think we should go back now! Alice won't move any further and she won't let go of my leg!"
it. was. terrible.
and they gave us horrible food. i had to sneak packets of suger to my room to survive and me and my friend went hyper!
its hard not to hurt a lady who is hurting you
I had a weird dream last night as well... I was on top of a mountain somewhere...
tell us ur dream kallista!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rxylRCwBD5k&feature=related
Who likes it?
It's easy not to hurt a lady who is hurting you...
20 to 5
you survived on sugar....gosh u must have been really desperate
Oh dear...
How OLD are you, Thrice?
The other day, this OBNOXIOUS boy pushed my friend out of the way, and this other boy said to him:
"How rude! Do you not know how to treat a lady?"
So then I started thinking how ladies should be treated...
if a lady is really fond of pinching and you sit beside her you have to defend yourself
a girl called odile, she used to be on this blog
You haven't had your head torn off Kallista... and yes you did deserve it :P
i was desperate jasmine! it was horrible. but also hillarious. a teacher knocked on our door when we were hyper and asked about the noise. we sed it was the room upstairs :D
i think she was anyway
GUys, I may not have told you, but I have started another book.
*Everybody keeps talking*
Guys? Don't ignore me!
brr...
lol Geckogirl
hahaha must have been really fun ;)
Sarthacus... good luck with the book :P
i started a book a while back, i'm still on it
not the head rolling....the sugar devouring...
http://thrice-dozer-bored.blogspot.com
if you wanna read two chapters of it
I NEVER ignore people
well
OK
sometimes
But ONLY mean people
OK
I KNOW!
OK, so sometimes I DON'T ignore the mean people...
FINE
I ignore SOME people
