Summer seems like a distant memory, but we here at Kill Your Darlings are just getting around to updating you on our summer reading goals. More importantly, we chat about the Stella Prize shortlist, and the ways we eternal book acquirers have dealt with the Marie Kondo 30-items-on-your-bookshelf debate. Storm in a teacup? Probably – but pop some tea in yours and settle in to listen to more book-related chat from Alice Cottrell, Alan Vaarwerk and Meaghan Dew.
