| 1. |  | Bird by Bird: Some Instructions on Writing and Life from Anchor Price: $10.17 Customer Review:  The pressure is tremendous. To write a review of a book on writing -- the review almost has to smack of winning a Pulitzer. Well, I'm no writer, so I'll do my best. The frankness of Lamott is very refreshing. So many books on writing just cover the technical approaches and don't really address... |

| 4. |  | Grace (Eventually): Thoughts on Faith from Riverhead Trade Price: $11.20 Customer Review:  I bought this in the airport on a long layover and threw it away 4 chapters in. What I thought would be a nice book about how everyone finds their own faith and grace, was sort of about faith, but I couldn't get past her political hatred.....who cares, this was supposed to be about finding grace,... |

| 5. |  | Operating Instructions: A Journal of My Son's First Year from Anchor Price: $11.16 Customer Review: This was an interesting read, a friend lent me the book. It had a lot of "god" in there, but beyond that, the story rang true. I think anyone who has ever had a newborn can relate to a lot of her thoughts and stories. I do wonder how Sam is doing now, he would be what? 18 or so? I have to say... |

| 6. |  | Plan B: Further Thoughts on Faith from Riverhead Hardcover Price: $6.99 Customer Review: When I read this book, I felt like I could have written every word. Like Anne, I sometimes think that I make Christ drink himself to sleep at night. I wish she was my sister. Anne writes for us Christians who aren't afraid to say in really expressive terms what we really think and feel about... |

| 7. |  | Crooked Little Heart: A Novel from Anchor Price: $10.17 Customer Review: A friiend of mine turned me om to Anne Lamott and I am so gratteful. A very quirky story line is matched with a poet`s ability to express a common experience with an uncoomon clarity and brilliance. Ms. Lamottcrafts a story, that on it's face is about two teenage tennis progidies, which, if that was... |

| 8. |  | Hard Laughter: A Novel from North Point Press Price: $10.20 Customer Review: I could not believe some of the negative reviews I read about this book. I normally never write reviews but I had to put in my two cents to counter the negativity. I do believe that this book is not for everyone, but for me, it resonates with such truth and clarity that it makes me smile every time... |

| 9. |  | What Would You Do If You Had No Fear? Living Your Dreams While Quakin' in Your Boots from New World Library Price: $10.36 Customer Review: Just what I needed to refocus and prioritize after 20 years in the same job. This was an instant sabbatical for me. Gave me the energy boost I needed to move forward. |

| 10. |  | Rosie from Penguin (Non-Classics) Price: $11.20 Customer Review: This one was a tough one for me to get into for the first 100 pages. Once I was fully immersed, I found that the characters were what drew me in. They are all quite flawed in one way or another which comes out more and more by the end of the book. I most enjoyed reading about the mother, Elizabeth -... |

| 11. |  | All New People from Counterpoint Price: $11.16 Customer Review: The book was very similar to Lamotts Travelin Mercies....only fictionalzed. It was sad and sweet and in some parts you were left kind of hanging...not sure what was meant or felt. Then again, Anne Lamott does that to you. She challenges you to branch out in your way of thinking. It was a good read. |

| 12. |  | Mothers Who Think: Tales of Real-Life Parenthood from Villard Customer Review: This book is unabashadly honest. Mothers who are hard on themselves (find me one who isn't!) will find themselves in these pages in refreshingly forgiving and honest ways. Some of these essays have laugh out loud moments, and about every one is well written and poignant. Every topic that might... |

| 13. |  | Blue Shoe from Riverhead Trade Price: $11.20 Customer Review: This book was a miserable waste of time. The main character, whom I imagine the author modeled on herself, as she has with her other work, was a completely self-absorbed hypocrit. I had to finish it for a book club but had to put it down on several occassions because I was so disgusted with the main... |

| 14. |  | Between Mothers and Sons: Women Writers Talk about Having Sons and Raising Men from Scribner Customer Review: I found this anthology wonderfully refreshing, and very validating. It gives affirmation to the intense emotional endeavor of raising a young man, and allows a communal feeling with other mothers on the same journey. The stories are poignantly shared, and are passionately detailed. I recommend this... |

| 15. | [no image] | Traveling Mercies: Some Thoughts on Faith from Pantheon Books Customer Review: Our book group at my Episcopal church read this together, and loved every moment of it - the way God led Anne Lamott gently throughout her crazy life with spiritual guides in the person of her friends' parents, music from a nearby church, people who popped up when she was ready for them. If you... |

| 16. |  | Joe Jones: A Novel from Shoemaker & Hoard Price: $11.90 Customer Review:  I am an avid Anne LaMott reader. The commentator who said they were off to read ROSIE will NOT be disappointed. That is an extraordinary book. Although I enjoyed these characters they didn't have the usual depth of LaMott's characters. They were all full of flaws, yes, but I didn't actually believe... |

| 17. |  | Imagine: What America Could be in the 21st century from NAL Trade Customer Review: This is a great book, that is doubly-powerful (no TRIPLY, no QUADRUPALLY powerful!) because so many inspiring thinkers are in it: from Deepak Chopra to Neale Donald Walsch, from James Redfield to Anne Lamott. And these thinkers come from all sectors of society: from John Robbins, a whistle-blower of... |

| 18. |  | Finding God When You Don't Believe in God: Searching for a Power Greater Than Yourself from Hazelden Price: $10.17 Customer Review: This book is not written by Anne Lamont. It has a FORWARD (2 pages) by Anne Lamont. I found the focus of the book to be on recovery, which is a kind of spirituality, but not something that works for everybody. Didn't work for me. |

| 24. |  | Word by Word from Writer's AudioShop Price: $29.95 Customer Review: I don't usually write reviews, but I think buyers should be aware that this recording has little to do with Lamott's very good book, 'Bird by Bird'. These tapes are self-help tapes, like Julia Cameron's stuff. I was disappointed and a little bit annoyed. The box even says 'Writer's Audio Shop' on... |
