I didn’t follow the rules exactly but the exercise was fun, so please forgive me. I only have a copy of one of the books in my head, and another doesn’t come out until February 11. So sorry.
1. Book -‘Vinegar Girl’ by Anne Tyler. She is my all time favorite author who has published over 20 books. As each book came out it seemed to mirror my life at that stage. It’s like we grew up and old together.
2. ‘Three Days in June’ - also Anne Tyler
I didn’t want to wait to write this response until this book comes out on February 11, so if I can put this in my safe I hope those who find it might see some of the connection between her books and seek to find others she has written. They will see that they depict an ordinary life filled with truly odd characters. They will understand how we were all odd in our own ways.
3. Book - Dr. Doolittle. I don’t own this book but it is the first book that I had a strong emotional response to. It was many years ago (I’m not telling how many) and I still remember crying for hours over Doc and the animals. I want to leave the message that animals are special in this world.
4. CD - National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation because can it really be Christmas without it? Whoever finds it might have fun trying to figure out what’s going on.
5. For my final possession I’m bringing a blank journal (the kind that holds a pen - is that cheating?) so either I or they could write the next story.
