Diana Wynne Jones, 1934-2011

[chomiji]

What should I re-read right now, to remember her? She is the author of so many of my favorite books:

The Homeward Bounders The Time of the Ghost Fire and Hemlock Witch Week Deep Secret Archer's Goon

And then there's always The Tough Guide to Fantasyland.

A bit of light has gone out of the world.

At this point, I don't ever remember which McKillip that is. If it's making you suffer, don't read it ... .

I found several of my fave DWJs had migrated into the Young Lady's room - I retrieved them after we took her back to college last night. I'm so shocked - shocked, I tell you!
