Many of you will have already seen the post entitled Sad News posted on Dewey’s blog by her husband. She passed away last Tuesday.
I can’t pretend that I will miss Dewey in the same way that her family and (offline) friends will. But I respected and admired her, and I will miss her posts, her generosity, and her seemingly tireless enthusiasm for books and readers.
Dewey was the force behind Weekly Geeks and the semi-annual Read-a-Thons, as well as the Bookworms Carnivals. She was, I think, a true pillar of the book-blogging community.
Farewell messages to Dewey and condolences for the family can be sent via her contact form.
I can’t believe it
I am shocked as well.
My heart goes out to her family. She will be missed.
Thanks for this Christine. She’ll be sadly missed.
