The Expat TAG - an ORIGINAL tag for EXPATS reaDANculous 2025-09-16 | THE EXPAT TAGThere are many, many booktubers currently living in countries which are not those in which they were born or in which they grew up. Some call such people ex-pats. If you have another preferred term, please suggest it. This tag is for them. There are ten prompts and a bonus prompt. Please feel free to interpret these questions liberally. 1. In which countrie/s did you spend your formative years?2. What book/s express something emblematic or meaningful about those countries?3. In which countrie/s did your parents spend their formative year and, if they moved, why did they move?4. What book/s express something emblematic or meaningful about those countries?5. Why did you move away from the countrie/s in which you spent your formative years?6. Can you share a time you felt what the French call uncountried or like a stranger in a strange land? Besides this feeling, how would you characterize the life of an expat?7. What book/s capture those feelings or experiences?8. Where do you currently reside and what brought you there?9. What book/s express something emblematic or meaningful about those countries?10. What are some of your favorite and most challenging aspects of your host culture?11. Please answer questions 7 to 9 for any other countrie/s in which you spent time that was significant to you, and of course please tag any booktube expats you know. In tagging, I find myself tagging teachers and students abroad, im/migrants, folks returned from long lives abroad, 3rd culture kids, refugees, etc...

Part2 Perfection paramitas TAG reaDANculous 2025-09-03 | NB: There is a part 3 to this Tag. I did not intend it as a teaserbut part 3 ended up unuseable and will have to be refilmed shortly...This is a brand new, original tag created by Lekden at Reading From the Depths@arockinsamsara .Here's Lekden's video on this tag: • The Perfection of Reading | An original #b... This is what Lekden says about the tag:"The Tibetan Buddhist instruction to live a meaningful life is to try to live the life of a bodhisattva, a person or being who has totally dedicated their life to benefitting others. The six perfections, known as the pāramitās in Sanskrit, are six types of enlightened activity that make up the bodhisattvas’ conduct which ordinary people are encouraged to try and realize in their own lives. This original book tag is celebrating those six and exploring how they might be reflected in our reading lives. The Prompts: In addition to answering each prompt also recommend a book that you feel embodies that particular perfection (as you understand it). (It is okay if it is the same as your answer to the prompt)."Prompts: *1. The perfection of generosity: What is an experience of either book gifting or book receiving that was meaningful or memorable for you? *2. The perfection of ethical discipline: * What are your best and worst reading habits? *3. The perfection of patience: * What is a book that you anxiously waited for, and did it live up to the expectations you set for it? *4. The perfection of joyful effort: * What is a book or series that you found difficult to complete but found to be ultimately worthwhile? *5. The perfection of concentration: * What do you do, if anything, to get in a “reading zone”? What is your ideal reading environment? *6. The perfection of wisdom: * What is a book where you learned something, especially something unexpected (whether profound or mundane)? *Please tag and share with others! I feel it has been too long since I tagged @heathereads so I'm hoping she hasn't already been tagged on this one as she so often is on many of them...CONTACT readDANculous at dan@greenmail.netSpecial thanks to @Zenpointmediastudio for the jams!
