It is with great sadness that I write that Dewey of The Hidden Side of a Leaf has passed away. I didn’t even know she was ill, but according to her husband she had been suffering for a long time. She was the mastermind behind many delightful projects, including Weekly Geeks, the Bookworms Carnival, and the semi-annual 24-Hour Read-a-thon. I didn’t know her personally, but I checked her blog almost every day. It’s fitting that her last post was about a personal challenge to give away one book every day of the holiday season. She will be greatly missed by the book blogging community. And by me.
