1.		Bird by Bird: Some Instructions on Writing and Life from Anchor Price: $11.16 Customer Review: A cursory look at the index might have one thinking this is just another step-by-step guide to a successful, publishable writing career...with chapters neatly organized by "character, plot, dialogue..." Ever so subtley, with unexpected laughs around every turn, the first chapter pulled me in as if I... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


2.		Traveling Mercies: Some Thoughts on Faith from Anchor Price: $10.17 Customer Review: In an e-mail exchange, a ministry colleague asked, "I have never read Anne Lamott. Do you recommend her?" I responded: Knowing your heart for broken people and for Jesus, I can recommend "Traveling Mercies" to you without qualification. I have only about 16 feet of easily reachable bookshelf,... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


3.		Grace (Eventually): Thoughts on Faith from Riverhead Trade Price: $11.20 Customer Review: What's not to like about Anne Lamott's Grace Eventually? A collection of essays in which she describes moments of spiritual clarity and examples of the divine in daily life, the book is a treasure trove of writings about topics ranging from abortion to euthanasia and lots of good stuff in-between.... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


4.		Operating Instructions: A Journal of My Son's First Year from Anchor Price: $11.16 Customer Review: This book is about an extremely emotionally ill women, who has spent her entire life avoiding reality with coke, meth, and alcohol, who now sober at 35 gets knocked up by one of the random men she is sleeping with. (She apparently is too hippie for condoms.) Maybe it's because I don't have... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


5.		Plan B: Further Thoughts on Faith from Riverhead Trade Price: $11.20 Customer Review: I like Anne Lamott's writings but she continuously bashes the President in this book. I think this is uncalled for. Seriously. She hates the President instead of praying for him (and as another reviewer noted she should "love thy neighbor") it totally turned me off in this book. Thank goodness I got... more info	Customer Rating: 3.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


6.		When You Eat at the Refrigerator, Pull Up a Chair from Hyperion Price: $9.95 Customer Review: This is a fabulous little book. It's a series of fifty very short advisory essays all about how to love yourself when you hate yourself. Specifically, Roth's work deals with compulsive eating, and this is her focus here too, but unlike some of her other work, this book is clearly meant to be more... more info	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


7.		Hard Laughter: A Novel from North Point Press Price: $10.20 Customer Review: Ok...so Lamott's approach might be a little "random" here, but I value her candid honesty. Most of us would never get that transparent and reflective about our most important relationships and how what happens in them shapes our lives - not only because of them, but in spite of them. I appreciate... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


8.		Crooked Little Heart: A Novel from Anchor Price: $11.16 Customer Review: I really loved this book, mostly because I could empathize with Rosie's middle school angst and insecurites. But I also admire (and envy) Lamott's writing in general - she creates beautiful phrases such as "it was so hot that the only things moving outside were the crickets and the anorexics" and... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


9.		All New People from Counterpoint Price: $11.86 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.	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


10.		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.	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


11.		Rosie from Penguin (Non-Classics) Price: $11.20 Customer Review: Excellent reading. Has some unexpected turns and one of them kind of leaves you hanging.	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


12.		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... more info	Customer Rating: 3.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


13.		Blue Shoe from Riverhead Hardcover Customer Review: I've not read anything else by Anne Lamott, but I plan to. I bought "Blue Shoe" on a whim and didn't expect it to be a light, easy, fluffy read. To my surprise, I've read it again since. No, the characters aren't perfect, yes, they fail. But they are so very human. Certainly, sometimes we want... more info	Customer Rating: 3.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


14.		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... more info	Customer Rating: 2.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


15.		Finding God When You Don't Believe in God: Searching for a Power Greater Than Yourself from Hazelden Price: $11.21 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.	Customer Rating: 2.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


16.		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... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


17.		Operating Instructions from Bloomsbury Customer Review: Someone gave this (in paperback) to my sister for her baby shower. She called and read passages to me. Then she gave it to me...and I called people and read passages to them. It is possibly the funniest book I've ever read - and you certainly don't need to be a new parent -- or a parent at all (I'm... more info	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information

19.	[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... more info	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information
