RIP Diana Wynne Jones

I realise this is coming a little late as Diana Wynne Jones passed away a week ago, but I only found her obituary in the paper today and was very saddened by the news. I'm a fan of her Howl series and was hoping she'd write a fourth book to it. The very first book I read by her was Castle in the Air when I was 13, but Howl's Moving Castle was by

I've read three of her books now, and was really looking forward to discovering more. I had no idea... She did have a great sense of humor.

Hey! It's great to hear from you again. How've you been? Don't worry too much about only having read three books, there's plenty more that she's written. The only problem I find (with me anyway) is that her books are relatively hard to come by when compared to Pratchett or Harry Potter. Or maybe my library just doesn't like her (and Neil Gaiman). I might have to actually buy Fire and Hemlock (shock horror!). Have you read that? I want to know if it's worth buying. And yeah, she had a wonderful sense of humor. All twinkly-eyed and impish :)

Super busy with school. ): Not much of it left, though. I did notice at the library that they didn't seem to have many of her books actually at the main branch. I will have to order them. Haven't read that, or Gaiman.
