Reading

When I’m not writing – either because I don’t have time or because my hands can’t handle it – I’m trying to learn more to be a better writer. As you probably know by now, I’m reading Writing Down the Bones as a part of that. And trying to block of time for writing once the semester starts! What do you do to improve your writing? #viewfromabove #flatlay

Writing Down the Bones* – I’ve been Instagramming this book the entire time I’ve been reading it, and I can’t stop. I love this book so much and I cannot recommend it enough t0 any writer.

The Greatest Knight* – Ever since I started listening to books on Audible, I’ve fallen in love with Elizabeth Chadwick’s historical fiction books set in the Middle Ages. Her books are wonderful, including this one about William Marshal.. PS – If you sign up for an Audible Gold membership*, you pay $14.95 a month and get 1 credit for any book every month. Some books are $50 because they’re so long, but with your membership you pay $14.95 for it. I love mine!

Medieval Theater in Context* – Okay, so this is for school. It’s still fascinating and amazing!
