I'm probably the very last person in the bookblogosphere to talk about this in my blog, but I echo the sentiments of pretty much everyone else when I say that I was shocked to hear of Dewey's passing last week. She was such an incredible online friend and blogger, though I don't think I ever had any direct contact with her. I especially loved the effort she put into creating Weekly Geeks.
I didn't know until recently that Dewey's son has Asperger's Syndrome, and that she worked with teens on the autism spectrum. This isn't something I really talk about here because I'm still getting used to it, but in August I too was diagnosed with Asperger's. It really touches me that Dewey had so much compassion for people on the spectrum; I remember that she was constantly adding books on the subject to her TBR pile.
I'll miss her in our little online community.
