Angie Sage - Tumblr Posts

You know, one of the reasons reading the Septimus Heap series was important for me was because, for whatever reason, I had never before really realized that authors really could be alive. Like, obviously I knew they could in theory, but for some reason, I just assumed all the books I read had dead authors. They weren't, by the way. At the very least, I read plenty of Junie B Jones books while Barbara Park was alive.

So I'm just going along, reading all the Septimus Heap books when- oh! shock! I discovered the series wasn't complete yet! Fyre was yet to come out and Angie Sage was still working on it. Simply put, she wasn't dead and I had just learned of this fact.

It may not be a particularly fancy milestone, and it isn't the only reason that series is important to me (I also like it, first of all; Flyte was my favorite book for like five years), but I think it's interesting that I know all this stuff. It definitely made the importance I've placed on those books last longer, I think.

Anyway, it's not particularly amazing, but that's the experience I wanted to share.
