Oh, I love that picture! And I love Diana. I’m incredibly heartbroken but she will always live through her amazing stories.
Yes, that’s a comfort; I don’t grieve for George Eliot or Tolstoy, do I? But I’ve spent so many hours with her. I am just very grateful to have had her books in my life.
I tweeted about this because I know so many readers rave about her work. I’m sad to say that I still haven’t read any but she is on my list!
You really, truly can’t go wrong with her books. Even the mediocre ones are good.
:( Still really sad about this.
Will you have another DWJ week? I’ll join if you do.
