Lynne Reid Banks is dead at 94. :(

I knew she was old, but I didn't realize how old. She wrote a great many books that are still considered kids' classics.

And I can't believe it, I maxed out again in April!

I tried to be really careful and only add 3 books per author, but I guess we've lost a lot of people so far. I'll be mentioning future losses in the comment section, if other people would like to add them.

Also, Mike Thaler, author of the extremely popular Black Lagoon series, has died at 87.
