It’s time for the first of my Wyrd and Wonder Edition posts for Top Ten Tuesday! Today we’re talking about some of my favourite fictional cities in fantasy.

It’s time for another List of Awesome Things, and today I’m taking a short rest away from all the Sci-Fi Month madness to share a few items from my wishlist. Today’s prompt is “bookish merch I’d like to own”, and for once I have actually been picky! (Translation: I didn’t make it to ten items! Let’s hear it for being particular, for once, heh!)

Top Ten Tuesday was created by The Broke and the Bookish, and is now hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl. This week’s prompt is a freebie!
