Maeve Binchy died today

[beans]

I love her books, I am really sad about this. Anyone else read her?

[beans]

ETA all I can find about it is that she died from a "short illness"

I am sorry to hear this. I love her books. I almost always have a Maeve Binchy in my bag for long train or plane trips. I know they will keep my attention for the long trans-pacific flights heading to/from my homes.

Sorry to hear that.

Oh, I'm so sorry to hear this too. She was only 72.

She was one of my first favorite authors.

I enjoyed her work as well. I am sorry to hear she has passed.

So sad. She was always my go-to when I was in an airport bookstore and needed something for a flight - her books were like comfort food.

Loved them all. I hope she had a lot of books on her laptop that can be published. What a shame. RIP.
