for the purposes of this idea, I’ll assume you have or are searching for books on the craft of writing, this books club will focus on reading books in the genres or type of books you want to write or are writing now.

Books by writers you’ve envied too much to give a chance.
Look for tee the joy and/or lessons they can teach you.

If you’re feeling brave enough, please share the books you want and need to read in the format and categories above in the comments.
As for me, once I’ve made some headway on my to be read list, I’ll start doing book reviews, and I’ll have a new regular feature on the blog that chronicles my Self-Study reading.
Until next time,
