My last book recommendation was not for beginners; I recommended it for people who were at least intermediate to advanced. If you were disappointed because you wanted something to start with, then this book is for you! This year you write your novel, by Walter Mosley, is a great first book to start with if… Read More Book recommendation: This year you write your novel by Walter Mosley
