Congratulations David! may you find it enjoyable and profitable. (but ... weren't you going to post pictures of JZ and Matilda in matching gingham dresses?)
What should I do, then? Send her a gift? Sacrifice? … Unholy fruit basket?

Literary Buffistas 3: Don't Parse the Blurb, Dear.
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."

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
The most recent pictures, including the matchy gingham (not a great picture, I'm afraid, but better than the one I threw out): [link]
I'm working on a set of pictures from the reading (you will be shocked, shocked! to hear that juliana looks smoking hot in black leather), but Flickr is being uncooperative with me just at present.

Oh my lord. She's at that cool stage where picture to picture you can see a transition from baby face to actual grown-up kid face. Amazing! And amazingly cute.

No kidding! She is totally a little girl and not a baby anymore.
How did THAT happen?

Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry is breaking my heart. And I'm only on page 100. It just gets worse, doesn't it?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
It just gets worse, doesn't it?
If I hadn't lobotomised myself shortly after reading the book, I could answer it for you. That book gutted me as a kid. I was exposed to lost of slavery/emancipation/Jim Crow/deep South literature as a kid, but that's the title that sticks with me the most to tie into all the grief I have attached.
And seeing this here just crystallised something for me -- I need to go ask a question in Boxed Set.
