Litsy

pick

A different twist on the #isolatedvillage #inthewoods . Every 7 years occursa #sacrifice so the village can stay #untouched by the world. The tone is dark and wild, just like the woods. The main characters are #rebellious and #supportive of their #bestfriend, who is this year's #chosenone. What follows is as much a story about #growingup as it is about #acceptingresponsibility. #gothic #talesofwarning #talesofbravery and #talesofsacrifice.

Part angel, part human there‘s a bit untouch-ableness going on in this book.

@batsy and @Cathythoughts will probably remember the box of books I recently got from a sale and left #untouched in the boot of my car. Well, I finally sneaked the box in the house over the weekend! These are the ones I got for myself, the rest are for my kids, not shown here.

Novel Journal: Pride and Prejudice | Jane Austen

#getmovin #untouched

I got this pretty Pride and Prejudice Novel Journal back in December & it remains untouched. I have an 'issue' with nice journals. Give me a cheap composition book or legal pad & I'm fine writing all over it, but with something so beautiful, it's hard for me to mark it up. Especially this one, where the lines of the paper are sentences from the book.😬I unwrapped the plastic for the pic & it smells so fresh & untouched too.🌺

Melissa_J I‘m the same way! I have the Emma version of this notebook and it remains pristine. 7y

callunakeep The struggle is real! 🤓 I was gifted one of these in the #conandoyleswap and I am having a hard time even contemplating the act of writing in it! I don‘t want to lose the ability to read the lines and I don‘t trust my hand to keep my writing between the lines! 7y

TheKidUpstairs I'm the same! I always feel like a really beautiful journal needs something very special to be written inside. 7y

DebinHawaii @Melissa_J @callunakeep @TheKidUpstairs I'm glad I'm not alone in my issues. ??I just keep thinking, "I can't write on top of Jane's words! I am not worthy!" ? 7y

eanderson I‘m the same exact way! 7y

Kmmsellers I‘m so glad I‘m not alone! 7y

CrowCAH So beautiful; great Austen quote! 😍 I have the same issue with pretty journals. 7y

#GetMovin #untouched
A few years ago at a village fete in a charity tent i picked up these four books - i have always been intrigued by this quartet but as yet they remain 'untouched' because i don't want to spoil these editions - i will have to make it a plan to read them, maybe on my next litsy classic challenge.

Cathythoughts They look interesting... 7y
