Thanks. I read one or two books from each of her different series of books. Count me as a fan.

Sad. Years ago I read her books about Pern and the dragons. Very imaginative. I began reading sci-fi when in elementary school in the ‘50s, so it was probably in the 70-80s when I read her books when I ordered them from the Sci-Fi Book Club.

About 10 years ago, I donated 360 hardback books (most were sci-fi) to my local library and took the tax deduction.

Just checked my shelves and I still have one of Ann’s books that I have never read: “Freedom’s Landing”. Guess I should begin reading that one real soon.

I loved her dragon rider books when I was young. Rest in peace, Anne McCaffrey.
