Do you want to visit the Orkney‘s? If you were going for a long weekend and could only bring one book; which would you bring?

BookwormAHN I would love to and I agree @TrishB possibly Outlander or some folktales. 3y
Megabooks @TrishB nice choice!! 3y

TheBookHippie I‘d go not high on my personal list but I‘d go, this book reminded me a little of the movie The Secret of Roan Inish based on the book I‘d bring along![[tagged book]](https://image.librarything.com/pics/litsy_webpics/icon_taggedBook@3x.png)

Secret of the Ron Mor SkerryDebinHawaii Sorry (maybe not sorry) that I didn‘t end up buying & reading the book for this one but thanks for letting me party with you, @BarbaraBB & the group anyway with pics & music! 😉 I look forward to the next gathering! 🤗 3y
Cinfhen I have ZERO INTEREST in visiting the Orkney‘s - it felt too remote, cold and depressing 3y
TrishB @Megabooks it would last the weekend too 😁 3y
Deblovestoread Scotland is on my list but I have no clue what book I‘d bring. 3y
Cinfhen I love your book choices @TrishB @TheBookHippie 💚 3y
TrishB @Cinfhen it is remote and probably cold a lot of the time. But the air would be clear and beautiful and the sky would be full of light and deceptive colours. The sky is very wonderful up north! 3y
jenniferw88 My Capricorn Rising sign suggests that they would suit me, but maybe in the summer and not in October when they went! 😂😂😂 I'd probably take some classic Scottish stories that I haven't got round to yet, so maybeComplete Stories of Robert Louis Stevenson: Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde and Nineteen Other Tales 3y
Complete Stories of Robert Louis Stevenson: Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde and Nineteen Other TalesBarbaraBB I‘d love to go there for a weekend. Just me and the elements. In fact I am planning a trip to Scotland in the fall but not to Orkney. 3y
TheBookHippie @DebinHawaii I can send you mine!! 😂😂😂 I‘m all done 😝 3y
Cinfhen You ALMOST changed my mind @TrishB but I don‘t like the cold 🥶 3y
Cinfhen Scotland seems cool @BarbaraBB but it‘s not high up on my bucketlist @Kdgordon88 🤷🏼♀️ (edited) 3y
Cinfhen I forgot about your horoscope @jenniferw88 😂😂 3y
DebinHawaii @TheBookHippie Hah! I am almost tempted (FOMO) but I fear I won‘t read it based on all I have heard! 🤣🤣🤣 3y
TrishB 😉 I don‘t really like the hot! You just need a big coat 🧥😘 3y
AnneCecilie I can‘t see myself ever visiting Orkney. 3y
jenniferw88 @Cinfhen haha! My horoscope is fascinating to me - so much of my personality and background can be explained by it - and even some of my medical conditions! 3y
Deblovestoread @TrishB you‘ve sold me on Orkney. You description sounds marvelous and I love the sea. 3y
Cinfhen That‘s fascinating about your medical conditions linked to horoscope @jenniferw88 3y
Cinfhen I think I‘d need WAY MORE than a heavy coat @TrishB 3y
Cinfhen I kind of imagine Norway‘s climate similar to the Orkney‘s @AnneCecilie am I way off??? 3y
Megabooks @TrishB I‘m not a fan of the heat either…I live in the wrong part of the world. I would probably visit if I were able, but it‘s not a high priority. 3y
TheBookHippie @DebinHawaii 😂😂😂 mine came with a newspaper article all for 5 bucks 😂 3y
jenniferw88 @Cinfhen Taurus Sun, Virgo Moon & Capricorn Rising here. For example, Saturn is in my first house, and the tagged book says that 'Saturn can point to a long, slow or difficult birth', which is exactly what happened with me! I was due on 2/5 but arrived 4/5 after 2 epidurals - I was eventually delivered by caesarian. And I love having my neck rubbed, a part of the body associated with Taurus!The Astrology Bible: The Definitive Guide to the Zodiac 3y
The Astrology Bible: The Definitive Guide to the ZodiacTrishB @Megabooks it‘s only really hot for about a week a year here! 3y
TrishB @Cinfhen and thermals! 3y
TrishB @Kdgordon88 😁👍🏻 3y
Cinfhen @jenniferw88 wow!! Very cool…thanks for tagging the book…I think I‘d like to pick it up 💜🙌🏻 3y
Cinfhen And mittens, gloves, hat, scarf, boots @TrishB xxx 3y
AnneCecilie @Cinfhen I think so. Also I‘m not much of a sea person. But would love to visit Edinburg sometime, the castle and Bookstores. 3y
TrishB 😂😂 3y
jenniferw88 @Cinfhen it's very interesting but will work best if you know the time of your birth. That way you can get a natal chart online (I used https://astro-charts.com/tools/new/birthchart/) with all the planet placements etc. 3y
Cinfhen Me too @AnneCecilie Edinburg does sound amazing 💚 3y
jenniferw88 I promise to go back to talking about Orkney now! 😂😂😂 3y
Cinfhen @jenniferw88 👍🏻I‘ll have to ask my mom, if she remembers/ knows my time of birth (edited) 3y
Cinfhen Haha @jenniferw88 I think the horoscopes is more interesting 😜 3y
jenniferw88 @Cinfhen I'm an email away if you do get a birth chart - I'd be happy to type up some notes from the book for you. Email is irene_gulliver@yahoo.co.uk. I could do the whole chart (except aspects - I haven't got my head round those yet! 😂) or just the main 3 - Sun, Moon and Rising (otherwise known as the Ascendant). 3y
peaKnit I‘m a beach person, a warm weather beach lover that is. Orkney sounds interesting but uncomfortable, haunting and damp…while I work in the bureaucracy I need recharge vacations. Once I move to a beach I might dream of Orkney 😂 3y
rubyslippersreads It‘s not a travel destination that appeals to me (except for the shop, which sounded almost enchanted). 3y
Hooked_on_books I adore Scotland and would love to visit the Orkneys! I actually have a necklace I love that I bought in Edinburgh which was made by an artist on one of the islands. 3y
erzascarletbookgasm I love the beach, the warm weather ones. But Scotland is on my bucket list. I don‘t mind spending a weekend in Orkney for experience. Or Shetland Islands. 😊 Don‘t know about the books, though. 3y
Cinfhen I‘m a beach person too @peaknit and the Orkney‘s doesn‘t align with my mental image of beach holiday but that shop did sound enchanting @rubyslippersreads I‘m with you @erzascarletbookgasm yes to Shetlands no to Orkney‘s 3y
Cinfhen I‘m totally up for Edinburgh @Hooked_on_books and I love buying local artisan crafts when I travel/ I think they make the best gifts/ memories/ souvenirs 3y
Librarybelle I‘m very curious about the desolate nature of the Orkney‘s…remote. I‘d probably bring a #Chunster to read…a reread of Outlander seems to fit, for some reason. 3y
