Wednesday Weekly Blogging Challenge: Books About My Favorite Topic

 


The Wednesday Weekly Blogging Challenge is hosted by Long and Short Reviews. They offer this blog hop as a weekly prompt to help you gain new friends and visitors. You don't have to participate every week, but if you decide to post and join the blog hop for a week, Long and Short Reviews requests that you share your link in their weekly post on their website (which will be the top post on the home page each Wednesday morning). The link list remains open for new links for 48 hours. Visit the other bloggers participating to see what they discuss that week. Comments are appreciated. 

Welcome back to Wednesday! The middle of the workweek for some, and just another day for others. We are expecting a spot of rain today, but the temperatures are still nice. I will take any day I don't have to wear winter gloves. 

This week's Wednesday Weekly Blogging Challenge asks me to share books about my favorite topic. Narrowing down one favorite topic is tough, but I will go with writing. Here are a few great books about writing:

  • Bird by Bird byAnne Lamott
  • On Writing by Stephen King
  • Writing Down the Bones by Natalie Goldberg
  • The Elements of Style by Strunk & White
  • Plot & Structure by James Scott Bell
  • The Well-fed Writer by Peter Bowerman
Have you read any of these? What are some books about your favorite topic?

On Writing was such a great book!

Bird by Bird is another great book. I've never read the last two in your list but I'm adding them to my TBR.

Writing Down the Bones by Natalie Goldberg - I did not know of Natalie Goldberg when I listened to this book. 🤯I now listen to it at least once a year. It is calming and motivating all at the same time.

I'd like to add, to the list of good about-writing books, Lawrence Block's Telling Lies for Fun & Profit. It is just a fun read.

It is. I wish there weren't so many cuss words, but it is still great.

I need to read Bird by Bird again.
