There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."
Oh dear, Fern bottle-feeding Wilbur. WANT.
I really want the one where he is in the baby buggy with her doll!
I think I must be hormonal, because looking at these illustrations made me tear up.
I want the one with Templeton, whom I adore. (Which probably says unflattering things about me.)
Oh my god, I would kill for one of those.
I always liked Templeton, too. God, I want to read the book again now.
I really like the drawing of Fern sitting while Wilbur sniffs out his new house.
If the Williams illustrations for the Little House books ever go up for auction, I'd just have to do something to get my hands on one of those.

Fun! Despite the pickpocket, I hope you're enjoying yourself.
