I don't know how many times I've read Howl's Moving Castle, the Ogre Downstairs or Charmed Life - it must be at least once a year since I first came across them. I'm on second copies for all three: the first copies actually fell to bits.<br /><br />I know that they won't grow stale, and they will always be a standby and solace in gloomy times. I always hate getting to the last page.<br /><br />Cathy, can you advise whether I should get the kindle version of "Reflections" - my first impulse - or the book? Are there pictures in the book but not the e-book, for example?<br /><br />And thank you for sharing this event in your post.Emma Barneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02718171070716804800noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7780182174577095197.post-75009190266981272882012-04-28T23:18:34.230+01:002012-04-28T23:18:34.230+01:00Wish I could have been there. wish I could have ne...Wish I could have been there. wish I could have net her.

Sounds as if it was a wonderful celebration. I think I have everything Diana ever wrote and am looking forward to adding Reflections to the collection. I'd say Diana was one of my biggest influences as a writer. It's one of my great regrets that I never met her.Lucy Coatshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16774389681477698245noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7780182174577095197.post-1052314260619826022012-04-26T08:44:24.282+01:002012-04-26T08:44:24.282+01:00I found a new and informative interesting posts in...I found a new and informative interesting posts in your blog.
