Tag Tuesday - The Roadmap of Your Life Book Tag
Вставка
- Опубліковано 3 чер 2024
- It's Tag Tuesday! I was tagged by @Tristan-L-Space-Books for his original tag, "Roadmap of Your Life" - only two prompts, but I managed to waffle on enough..
1.) What is a book that reminds you of or takes place in each place that you've lived? This could mean country, state/province, city/town, and or apartment/house. Just come up with a book that really resonates with you and the time you spent in each place where you've had a mailing address!
2.) Since a roadmap not only shows you where you've been, but also where you're going, what is a book that reminds you of or takes place in your next destination? Or a place you'd like to live in?
I will tag:

Thanks for tagging me. It’s an interesting tag but I have to mull it over first on how to tackle this.
Thanks Annie!
I just love your channel, you're such a great storyteller, you really should be getting many more subscribers!!! All the best from Poland :)
Witam! Dziękuję bardzo. That's very kind of you.
Well travelled. Must be plenty of good places for metal detecting in Wiltshire!
I’m not too sure - I think the Wiltshire heyday was in the Stone Age :)
This was brilliant, Gavin! I was curious about where you have lived, but I had no idea at all that you have moved so much or lived in so many really interesting places. I loved this tag and hearing all of your responses!
Thanks Pat - Yes lot's of interesting places. And Cardiff. (Ddrwg gen i! Yr wyf yn kidding.)
I'm getting ready to tackle this tag, Gavin - thanks for tagging me! You have lived in some interesting places! I can't hear the word, "Kent" without thinking of the lyrics to "Werewolves of London" - "He's that hairy-handed gent who ran amok in Kent ...." RIP Warren Zevon.
Hi - I look forward to seeing your video. As for "Werewolves of London" - there are worse things to be associated with! Off to mind myself a big bowl of beef chow mein...
I have Lessons by Ian McEwan on my shelf. His writing has always intrigued me and I can tell that once I get into one of them, I'll be hooked.
Great responses, too. Lots of literary history too!
I think Atonement may be my favourite, but I have yet to read a bad one. Thanks for making the tag, it was fun to think back, and a prompt to add some more books to the mile-long TBR…
