The Roadmap of Your Life Tag

- This is a great tag by Tristan at @Tristan-L-Space-Books . I was tagged by Gavin at @GenreBooks23
The people I am tagging are Alex at @alex_unabridged , Al at @bighardbooks770 and also Gareth who is NOT at @anotherbibliophilereads because that is Greg and I should concentrate more when I am making videos. I am tagging Gareth who is at @bookssongsandothermagic (Sorry Gareth and Greg)
The prompts are:
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?
Books I mention:
The White Girl by Tony Birch
A Winter Book by Tove Jansson
Saturday Night & Sunday Morning by Alan Sillitoe
Regeneration by Pat Barkey
War and Peace by Leo Tolstoy
To Sir With Love by ER Braithwaite
Blacklands by Belinda Bauer
Sense and Sensibility by Jane Austen
Down and Out in Paris and London by George Orwell
The Shadow of the Silk Road by Colin Thubron

I have Regeneration on my Kindle. I really like this tag and hearing about where people have lived.
I’m loving watching the videos for this tag. They’re really interesting. I’d recommend Regeneration 😊
Fascinating insight into your roadmap of life. I know Berkshire quite well having lived in Slough. I also lived in Australia and visited Kangaroo Island in South Australia along with Adelaide, didn't get to Woomera. Alan Sillitoe is one of my favorite English writers. Tbilisi is along one of the great Silk Roads, the local internet network is called Silknet.
This was wonderful to listen to and learn snippets of your history. The Silk Roads book sounds fascinating.
Thank you 😊. The Silk Roads book is absolutely fab and I’d highly recommend it 😊
I absolutely loved this, Debs! What a great tag! Thanks for tagging me ☺ Fab to hear a bit more about you and you picked some really interesting books related to these phases of your life. You've reminded me that I've got Down and Out in Paris and London on the shelf still waiting to be read, thanks for that nudge! Right, had better start mulling over my own choices for this tag, might take a bit of thought. I've not lived as many places as you though, so I don't have quite so many to come up with!
Thanks Alex. I’m loving the responses for this tag and I really enjoyed doing it. I’m looking forward to seeing yours. Have fun 😊
A fascinating story of your life. I have a friend, a botany University lecturer, she lived at Porchester before moving to Devon. She mentioned the castle frequently as a wonderful place to visit. Pat Barker's books are superb. The same remark applies to Orwell, and Down and Out especially, grim but an eye opener, as is Sillitoe.
Thanks Clare. It was lovely to get some of my favourite books in there 😊
I'm going to have to pick up Blacklands and Saturday Night and Sunday Morning. Thank you for talking about them! And thank you for doing the tag!
Oh you’re welcome. I thought it was a brilliant tag. Such a great idea. I’m loving the video responses I’ve seen 😊
Some great books mentioned there. Got to love Jane Austen.
Thank you. Oh yes, I’m definitely a Jane Austen fan 😊
This was great, Debs! I really need to get to more of Orwell's non-fiction one of these days...
Thanks Aaron. It was a really fun tag to do. I love Orwell’s non-fiction. I think I’m due a reread of some soon
This was a delightful video, Debs. I really enjoyed hearing about all of the places on your life's roadmap. Well done!
Thank you Pat. I really enjoyed this and am loving the videos from other people too 😊
@@RaynorReadsStuff yes, it’s been a great tag!
Great selections (and I did not know that you lived in Woomera - you Dad’s basically Quatermass!).
Haha. Yes he is. Loved this tag 😊
I didn't actually live there, but I did spend about a month in the Northern Territory of Australia. I had a kind of psychic experience there. If I were to choose a book for that time, it would be The Fatal Shore: The Epic of Australia's Founding by Robert Hughes.
I’ll have to try that Robert Hughes book. Thanks 😊
I love Down and Out in Paris and London, I like Homage slightly more though but his nonfiction in general is great. I've lived in Derby and New Zealand so one over from you both times 😂
I love A Homage to Catalonia 😊. I really enjoyed this tag. It was great fun 😊
