has passed away.






magical funeral party in her honor in the comments.

(for the record, even beyond all of the amazing books she read [as if that isn't enough!], as Quark just reminded me, DWJ is the reason we know and love MWT.)

(man I am SAD.)

I've never read any of hers. Is there one (or some) that you would recommend?

Well, all of her books are excellent. People usually talk about Howl's Moving Castle as their go-to one, but I also love the Dalemark Quartet, and the Chrestomanci books, and I thought Fire and Hemlock was wonderful. There are others of hers that I need to read, but those are the big starters.

also, if you ever run across her in a short story anthology, you will enjoy yourself.

:( I've never read any of hers, but when I'm at the library, I'm always shelving her books which means people are always checking them out.

Sad day.

This is totally how I felt when Brian Jacques died

they're wonderful! GET THEE TO THEM NOW.

well, I knew this one was coming, I'm just sad it actually arrived. Lloyd Alexander (http://jade-sabre-301.livejournal.com/43963.html) hit me harder.

I WILL. Once I pay off my overdue fees...oops.

:( Also, literary death that hit me the hardest: Shel Silverstein. I actually cried. I was 11.

I... just started Fire and Hemlock today. Although I am having weird flashbacks to reading it before; I am positive I remember previously reading that part about washing Polly's hair. (Gross.)

SO SAD. Just - so sad.

I googled her name and just realised she was the woman who wrote Howl's Moving Castle, the book, not the movie. I kind of feel bad now that I didn't pick one of her books while she was alive since I enjoyed the movie so much. Next time I go book shopping, I'm picking up a copy of Howl's Moving Castle for her!
