I still am sad. I wrote my own post about her.<br />She was one of my favorite authors and the reason I began to write again.

I JUST bought a copy of Howl a couple weeks ago, and it reached my house the day after Jones passed away. It's very sad. At 40+ books I hope she lived a very fulfilled life and had no regrets. Condolences (sp?) to her family and friends.Casshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07568646164849243366noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2790614306320534072.post-82924314463244951922011-03-29T17:55:39.988-04:002011-03-29T17:55:39.988-04:00I also have been meaning to read Howl's Moving...I also have been meaning to read Howl's Moving Castle...so sad to hear this.

I watched the Haiyo Miyazaki adaptation of the book and thought the story was absolutely superb. I remember telling myself I needed to read the book, but I still haven't gotten around to it =[Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2790614306320534072.post-45422700440179275052011-03-29T12:18:00.100-04:002011-03-29T12:18:00.100-04:00+JMJ+

I distinctly remember wondering why in the world she wasn't better known because she was so much better than J.K. Rowling!Enbrethilielhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03414765854670926854noreply@blogger.com
