It’s crunch time now: I just finished my 77th book of the year (this one), but if I don’t get my act together, I’ll break my streak of reading 100+ books a year for the last ten years!

I cannot let that happen!

I’ve got a pretty good idea of what I’m going to read next, and in my latest YouTube video I review seven of the books I’m MOST excited to read next.

But here today I’ve got 10 phenomenal books “on writing” to share with you, including one that I keep coming back to again and again. It might actually be one of the funniest books I’ve ever read, and it’s full of fantastic writing advice…
