The Bookish Wombling Tag

The Bookish Wombling Tag This brand new, original tag was created by Roy ‪@royreadsanything‬, and I was also tagged by Roy. This is what Roy had to say in his video for this delightful new tag: The Wombles are a race of creatures, invisible to humans, who clean up our litter and make it into useful things. Originally appearing in books by Elisabeth Beresford, a series of animated stop-motion TV episodes in the 1970s made them part of the fabric of British life. Pop songs, annuals, a movie, and a vast range of merch extended their furry-pawed reach still further. The books are still in print and full episodes can be seen at ‪@WomblesOfficial‬. Here's Roy's version of this original tag:    • Bookish Wombling ORIGINAL TAG   This tag uses concepts for the Wombles as prompts for talking about books. These can be any books, not necessarily kids’ ones. 1. The Wombles are mascots of environmental awareness and conservation. Tell us about a book which features the environment as a theme. 2. The Wombles are well-loved whimsical characters. Is there a whimsical book or series in your reading life? 3. The Wombles find things that the everyday folk leave behind. Have you ever found a book just lying around for you to take? Or found a secondhand book that was amazingly cheap? 4. The Wombles upcycle unwanted items. Tell us about a book that improves on a well-established trope or updates a classic story. 5. The Wombles stay out of sight. Tell us about a book that features a hidden or invisible person or group. 6. The Wombles are named after real places. Tell us about a book with a real-world placename in the title. 7. The Wombles live on Wimbledon Common, a large green space in London. Nature meets the city! Tricky one this – can you tell us about a story (in any medium) in which natural and urban environments co-exist or clash? 8. The Wombles carry Tidy Bags to collect their finds. Do you have a favourite bag or other Device of Carrying for use when book shopping? 9. Remember You’re a Womble! Have you ever read a book featuring a fictional band or musician that is actually good? 10. Tag people who you would like to see Wombling bookishly I tag anyone who would like to get in on the fun and do this tag, and additionally, I tag the following: ‪@spreadbookjoy‬ ‪@katiejlumsden‬ ‪@AaronReadABook‬ ‪@aaronfacer‬ ‪@genteelblackhole‬ ‪@AlansReads‬ ‪@jimsbooksreadingandstuff‬ ‪@MIDDLEoftheBookMARCH‬ ‪@hardbooks770‬ ‪@CaspersMysteryCorner‬ ‪@HannahsBooks‬ ‪@TracysNordicLight‬ ‪@BeyondBooks-wt5il‬ ‪@awebofstories‬ ‪@JessBookgirlTV‬ ‪@stuartgriffin1001‬ ‪@jamesholder13‬ ‪@readandre-read‬ ‪@ellenmadebookclub‬ ‪@MyMessyBookshelf‬ Books Mentioned In My Video: Renkl, Margaret.
