6. Negotiating with the Dead by Margaret Atwood
7. Emma by Jane Austen
8. Escaping into the Open by Elizabeth Berg
9. Murder in the Cathedral by T.S. Eliot
10. The Vein of Gold by Julia Cameron
11. In Cold Blood by Truman Capote
12. The Writing Life by Annie Dillard
13. The Legends of Parsifal by Mary Hanford Ford
14. The Collector by John Fowles
15. Writing Past Dark by Bonnie Friedman
16. Steering the Craft by Ursula K. Le Guin
17. The War of Art by Steven Pressfield
18. Take Joy by Jane Yolen
19. The Creative Habit by Twyla Tharp
20. The Phantom of the Opera by Gaston Leroux

What will I get?! Are you doing the spin this time?

In case you're curious about all the writing books on my list (some which may not seem to be classics to some), check out this post where I outlined restarting/revamping my list in 2019.

Thank you for visiting and taking the time to comment. It means so much.

I apologize for word verification, but as soon as I changed the settings from only users with Google accounts, I started receiving a ton of spam comments...within one hour of changing the settings. The bots are on high alert apparently.

  1. Nice list. I've read Emma and Maya Angelou. I'm excited to see what will be chosen.

    Here is my list.

  2. Lovely collection of writing books, but it sounds like you might be in need of some Austen! So I wish you Emma this spin :-)

  5. I need to revamp my list...I think I'll restart in 2022. I did nothing except like two books since I started my five years...yikes.

    Emma should be a fun one! I read that last fall.

    I've been thinking I should read one of Hemingway's. I just started the docuseries on PBS about him and it's pretty interesting.

    Good luck with your spin!
