A Writer's Diary: Being Extracts from the Diary of Virginia Woolf by Virginia Woolf
4.0
Fulfills Reading Women challenge prompt 22. A Book by Either a Favorite or a New-to-You Publisher.
There is no secret that I love Virginia Woolf. In the past I have read her diaries and letters and have fallen in love with the personality of Woolf alongside with her use of words. A Writer's Diary is a good collection of Woolf's entries on writing and reading, and might be a good place to start if you want to read Woolf's nonfiction but feel too daunted with many editions of letters and diaries. She is ruthless towards writing, both her own and others', and that is one of the strongest points of her diaries. I don't really know if this is the best kind of book to read cover to cover but I really enjoyed this!
