Journey To Lysandra's Cottage - hosted by soulfullyalex

January - Read a book you own that you have most recently acquired (gifted, bought, arc, etc.)
You have made your plans and said your goodbyes. You have a pack slung to your back filled with provisions, weapons, clothes, water, and anything you could need as you make your long journey through the forest. You take your first steps into the forest and are surprised by how peaceful it feels. You can hear the wind in the trees and wildlife flitting through the underbrush. You walk confidently until you come to a fork in the trail. One path will lead you further into the forest, the other will lead you into a field of nightshade. Though it is no ordinary nightshade, this impenetrable bramble has had a taste of blood and is known to do whatever it takes to get some more.

To choose the right path to continue your journey to Lysandra’s cottage, you must read your most recently acquired book, as of January 1st.
