    I’m weirdly amused by Jacqueline Wilson and Jacqueline Woodson being up for the award at the same time. It took me years to stop getting them confused with each other.

      I’m in the same boat. I will often write the name of one when intending to write the other. They should go on tour together just to screw us all up permanently.

    It’s so confusing with all the different awards called something with Hans Christian Andersen. I am trying to make a list for http://www.visitandersen.com with all the different prizes, awards and medals. Wonder if I will ever finish. 😀
