Andre Norton wanted to be cremated with her first & last books.

How weird & delightfully creepy.
When I go, I’d like to be buried with four of my closest friends.
You guys don’t mind, right?
Also, Norton was 93 & they had to rush her last book off the press so she could see it before she died. They had to RUSH her last book — the one she wrote when she was ninety-freaking-THREE!
I feel inadequate. But yay, Norton, for being so completely cool. She clearly didn’t live her life by half-measures.
