When I thought about this topic, I decided to go with the books\u00a0that most enthralled or otherwise inspired me as a child. The ones I identified with. I didn’t read Gone with the Wind<\/strong> until I was 21 or so, but I chose it as my most “adult” book, because I’d love to stand near Scarlett O’Hara and whack her on the head every once in a while. But I’m getting ahead of my nominations…<\/p>\n My list is missing Raggedy Ann and Andy and the Nice Fat Policeman<\/a>. I (well, my older sister but I stole them) had 5 or 6 in the Raggedy Ann and Andy series, but the one starring the Nice\u00a0Fat Policeman really piqued my interest. Who doesn’t want to live the life of a rag doll? I had my own Raggedy Ann and Andy, and I remember declaring to my dad that I would name a kid Andy, which turned out to be his middle name (Andrew). Years later, I actually DID name my first son Andrew, after my dh’s brother, Andy, who passed away at 25 from an asthma attack. But we didn’t actually call our son Andy, because that was Andy’s name. His legal\u00a0name is Andrew, though.<\/p>\n Hmm, why isn’t Raggedy Ann and Andy and the Nice\u00a0Fat Policeman<\/strong> on my list then? Quite simply, I ran out of space in the cute graphic box. This is the book I also read to my grade one class, so it stuck in my memory.<\/p>\n Back to my nominations:<\/p>\n What books would you choose to Live in for Awhile?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" It’s Week 2 of the #ListifyLife Spring Challenge!
