I turned around all of the books on this shelf that I have read to get a better sense of what I should read next. Any suggestions on what I should pick up?

Whoever says books aren't dangerous has never dropped a bookshelf on their foot.

That said, I'm pretty proud of my new shelves!

Building my own little library ❤️

Still a work in progress. Some more crates to add and paint.

Writing Tip

because I see this everywhere and most people don’t know about it. The hyphen(-), the en-dash(–) and the em-dash(—) are three completely different things with completely different uses. If you write fanfiction, it’s likely that your readers won’t care, but if you want to submit a manuscript for publishing, you need to know the difference. 

The hyphen (-) is the basic symbol you find on your keyboard, and it’s meant to only be used for hyphenated words (well-being, two-thirds). 

The en-dash (–) is a slightly longer dash. It’s usually the width of an uppercase N, hence the name. You can find it by looking through the ‘insert symbol’ option in MS word or many word processors, and it is meant to be used to show a particular distance, or for intervals (May–August, 1900–1916, pages 12–22)

The em-dash (—) is what people most commonly use, but they refer to it as a hyphen. It’s the longest dash, about the size of an uppercase letter M, and you can either find it through the list of symbols in your word processor, or some word processors actually automatically transform two hyphens (–) into an em-dash  (—). It is meant to be used as a break in the sentence, in a place where a comma, semicolon or colon would normally be used or as a break in dialogue. (Her niece—the daughter of her oldest sister—is the one over there.) 

*All three types of dashes are normally meant to be used without any spaces on either side of the dash.

Just to be clear, nobody sane in publishing is going to reject your manuscript if you get this wrong, but if you know how to do it right it’s going to make a copy editor’s life a lot easier down the line. And since you want them focused on big stuff like continuity and spelling errors, it’s in your own best interest to do this right the first time.
