Two books which I read this year that have helped me become a better writer are,

Charles Bukowski On Writing

Kurt Vonnegut Letters

These books aren’t so much about how to write better but more so a look into the minds of two good authors. Helped me get over some of the hurdles of writing. Probably not very useful if you’re looking to be an improved work document writer but for creative writing they were great.

Add Orwell’s essay on the English language. https://www.orwellfoundation.com/the-orwell-foundation/orwel...
Another one is Stephen King's On Writing.
