@ponderable saidBob was a person, he deserves his place in the list. 🤗 That was a great movie, if somewhat selective of the books.
Seems like Bob, the streetcat who* inspired the books (and the movie spin-off) has died aged 14.

@drewnogal saidMy grandmother wanted to be a burlesque dancer at the Gaiety Theater in Cincinnati, Ohio but her beau discovered that she was auditioning one day and stopped all that. He found her on stage and pulled her off, with her screaming, “You can’t stop me! We’re not married. We’re not even engaged!” To which my grandpa, a vaudeville singer who knew too well the pitfalls of the stage life, replied very calmly, “We are now”
Dame Vera Lynn, age 103.
@ponderable saidThat is sad news. I love his books about the Cemetery of forgotten books, an amazing triology. 😢
Carlos Ruiz Zafon (55) has died
I read his books on the Franco time in Barcelona (Cemetry of forgotten books), they are really worthwhile
