Wishlist Wednesday [#28]
Time for the second half of Wednesday! I so wish I could buy some of these books but let me tell you now, I’m not winning the battle with my TBR. Not to mention that there are so many amazing books coming out in September that there’s just about no room to actually read anything else!

Today, I’m going to introduce to you the official Kirstie’s Manual to Categorising Your Books Correctly. In other words, I’m going to tell you how I think these divisions work if you’re like me and feel that the word “Fantasy” is not quite fulfilling enough. Continue reading
