Anyone else feel just...immensely proud of these books? I mean, a lot of us have followed it since the beginning (or very near the beginning) and it's so cool to see how it's grown, and that we were a part of that because we've all bought copies. It's kind of like planting an acorn and beaming with pride when it turns into an oak tree... I'm sure Jo feels the same way.
yo hallowdizzle, u there?
