Rest in Peace, Gene Wilder. :(
Rest in Peace, Lois Duncan. There were so many of her books that I read when I was growing up and the loss is really hitting me at home. Thoughts go out to her family, friends and fans.
Rest in Peace, Prince. 1958-2016 I've honestly not had much motivation to read anything today, just listening to his discography because I grew up with his music playing in my childhood home.
R.I.P. Louise Rennison. :( Seems like there have been many prominent losses in the book community in 2016. I didn't start reading the Georgia Nicolson series until late, but it brought me many smiles.
