No, it was the story of a child who lost his favorite toy due to illness. And I was always afraid I&#8217;d get sick and Teeny Tiny Teddy, my most favorite teddy bear (a gift to me on the Christmas the week before I was born) would be taken from me and I&#8217;d never see him again. (And what would Teeny do as a real bear? Surely he&#8217;d not be 41 years old and still pootling about these days.)<\/p>\n<p> Anyhoo, I never did get sick like the boy in the story and Teeny and I have been firm friends ever since. He used to travel everywhere with me (to college &#038; back, to Chicago, London, etc.) but now he&#8217;s retired from travel and stays on the pillow next to mine in bed.<\/p>\n<p> <lj-cut text=\"The rest of the 31 days:\">The rest of the 31 days:<\/p>\n<p> <a href=\"http:\/\/pagefillers.com\/blog\/291493\/\">Day1 &#8211; Book you are reading right now<\/a><br \/> <a href=\"http:\/\/pagefillers.com\/blog\/291665\/\">Day2 &#8211; The book you want to read next<\/a><br \/> <a href=\"http:\/\/pagefillers.com\/blog\/291948\/\">Day3 &#8211; Your favourite Book<\/a><br \/> <a href=\"http:\/\/pagefillers.com\/blog\/292320\/\">Day4 &#8211; Book you hate<br \/> Day5 &#8211; A Book you can read again and again<\/a><br \/> <a href=\"http:\/\/pagefillers.com\/blog\/292581\/\">Day6 &#8211; A book you can only read once (no matter you love or hate it)<\/a><br \/> <a href=\"http:\/\/pagefillers.com\/blog\/292854\/\">Day7 &#8211; Book that reminds you of someone<\/a><br \/> <a href=\"http:\/\/pagefillers.com\/blog\/293087\/\">Day8 &#8211; Book that reminds you on a certain place<\/a><br \/> <a href=\"http:\/\/pagefillers.com\/blog\/293168\/\">Day9 &#8211; The first book you ever read<\/a><br \/> <a href=\"http:\/\/pagefillers.com\/blog\/293518\/\">Day10 &#8211; Book from your favourite author<\/a><br \/> <a href=\"http:\/\/pagefillers.com\/blog\/293852\/\">Day11 &#8211; Book you once loved and now hate<\/a><br \/> <a href=\"http:\/\/pagefillers.com\/blog\/293928\/\">Day12 &#8211; Book that a friend recommended<br \/> Day13 &#8211; Book that makes you laugh<\/a><br \/> Day15 &#8211; 4. book from the left on your shelf<br \/> Day16 &#8211; 9. book from the right on your shelf<br \/> Day17 &#8211; Close your eyes and get any book from your shelf<br \/> Day18 &#8211; Book with the most beautiful cover<br \/> Day19 &#8211; Book, that you ever wanted to read<br \/> Day20 &#8211; Book that you read at school<br \/> Day21 &#8211; most stupid book you read at school<br \/> Day22 &#8211; Book on your shelf with the most pages<br \/> Day23 &#8211; Book on your shelf with the least pages<br \/> Day24 &#8211; Book where nobody would expect you read\/loved it<br \/> Day25 &#8211; A book where the main character is almost like you<br \/> Day26 &#8211; Book you would read to your children<br \/> Day27 &#8211; A book where the main character is your idol<br \/> Day28 &#8211; Thanks God this book was made into a movie<br \/> Day29 &#8211; Darn, why did they make this book into a movie?<br \/> Day30 &#8211; First erotic book you ever read<br \/> Day31 &#8211; Book series you are collecting <\/lj-cut><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Day14 &#8211; Book from your childhood Since I have loved most of the books that I read (or had read to me) from my childhood, I decided I&#8217;d mix it up a bit and pick a book from my childhood that I dislike.
