So, Anne MacCaffery died, I just saw today. I'm sad about that. When I was a wee roxy, her books were amazing and so important to me. Not only did they feature girls doing pretty heroic things, they were the first books that my mom and I shared between us. Nearly ever Christmas I managed to buy her one--and then we'd pretend that I hadn't read them before I wrapped them. :)

Aw, man! Those Pern books got me through high school! :(

She had a long life it seems. That's some consolation.

Right? It was a great world to go to when the real world wasn't making it. :) That and the Ship Who...I liked those too.

Aw! That's so sweet. I would do the same with my mom, just not MacCaffery books.

I was really sad when I heard, even if I'd been expecting it for a while. I had a feeling when she let her son Todd go solo in Pern, if you know what I mean.

'Heard and witnessed' is still one of my favorite sci-fi sayings, I can't say why. But I still find myself saying it after all these years. F'lar and Lessa, one of the great love stories.

I wonder how they'd hold up for me after all these years? I might just have to revisit them.
