A TBR: September 2017

Hi, and thanks for stopping by.

Today's post is a TBR for this month. I don't usually set specific books to read per month, because I'm definitely more of a mood reader, but these are some books that I particularly want to get to ASAP, either because I've had them for ages or I've just got them and can't wait to get started! Here goes - please let me know if you've read any of these & what you thought by leaving a comment in the comments section down below. Also, please feel free to follow my blog if you enjoyed your visit.

This is a world divided by blood - red or silver. The Reds are commoners, ruled by a Silver elite in possession of god-like superpowers.
