Welcome to April, the month before the month of Thick as Thieves! This week, we’re reading from “The stool hit the wall with a satisfying crash” to “Costis returned to his room, freed himself of belt and breastplate, and fell, otherwise fully dressed, onto his bed.” As always, these discussions are spoiler free for “The Wine Shop,” “The Knife Dance

Feeling a bit heartbroken now---I didn't even know about philia passing away. I suppose that is the consequence of only popping in and out of the forums haphazardly. And now it's been five years.

Looking over her blog posts, these snippets of her diaries, it's so strange to think she's no longer with us.

I'm so sorry -- it's not easy news to receive, and I'm sorry to have broken it to you so unexpectedly.

Over the last five years, I've continued to be grateful for her writing -- both the hilarious/charming short stories on her journal and her novel. I've tried to pass them on to friends as often as I can, even if they didn't have any connection to her or Sounis. (The Emerald Thread is still here ... last year I ordered a copy for a book exchange with a dear friend who grew up near where Philia lived, so I think it's probably available forever, thanks to her family.)

Sending thoughts your way. I know that I and others are always open to talking about her/sharing memories. <3
