It feels as if I’m devouring all the books on English language and how to grammar and style correctly. In the past few months (almost 12, not few) I’ve read quite a few. I already have favorites too, and not so favorite ones.

The Blue Book of Gramma and Grammar for Fiction Writers are by far my favorite of the lot, but I have to admit, this beauty sure taught me a lot too.

If you like to spice up your English grammar rules and style, then this book is definitely one that should go into your TBR pile. I really enjoyed this one.
