The A Tag and The B Tag,
The original tags at Jim’s Books Reading & Stuff: youtu.be/xeMhong8g8c
I was tagged in the A Tag by Nadine of Tome Raider - youtu.be/3jtcBI0Xp4E
The Prompts:
1. A is for America. What do you consider the Great American Novel?
2. A is for arc. Which character in literature has the most interesting character arc?
A is for Abby, this is not a prompt, but some of you have asked for more footage of our beagle Abby in these videos. (Steve's translation: SHOW YOUR PETS! Even CATS!)
3. A is for Australia. What was the last book you read by an Australian author? Jane Harper’s the Dry.
4. A is for Austen. What do you plan to read for #JaneAustenJuly?
5. A is for automobile. What is your favourite literary automobile?
6. A is for anonymous. What is your favourite book or poem published anonymously?
7. A is for autobiography. What was the last autobiography you read?
8. A is for audiobooks. Do you consider listening to an audiobook as "reading"?
I was tagged in the B Tag by Allen of Big Hard Books & Classics youtu.be/iOxW6WMx7ho
The Prompts
1.B is for Bildungsroman. Do you have a favourite bildungsroman (or coming of age story)? 2. B is for Beach (be careful how you pronounce it!). What would you recommend for a beach read?
2.B is for Beagle, not a prompt but a chance to see our Beagle, Abby.
3. B is for Best. What is the best book you have read this year so far?
4. B is for Bookshop or Bookstore? Do you have a favourite Bookstore?
5. B is for Banned Books? Is there any book you think should be banned?
6. B is for Bible? What is your favourite book of the Bible and what trigger warnings do you think it should have?
7. B is for Bookshelf. Show me your bookshelf/bookshelves.
8. B is for Brazil. Paolo Coelho's The Alchemist has been translated into 70 languages, have you read any Paolo Coelho and if so what did you think of his book(s)?
My favourite Bookshop is Dublin based but you can buy online – especially if you want some interesting Irish Publications. https://booksupstairs.ie/
