I bought:
Simply Numerology by Anne Christie
Sterling Publishing Co., New York, 2005


Helene Turner
Author
Evanston, IL
I bought 9 copies of This Is Not How I Thought It Would Be: Remodeling Motherhood to Get the Lives We Want Today by Kristin Maschka. (Penguin, 2009)... it is such an important piece of writing for mothers, I wanted to give a copy to my friends and sisters-in-law!

Tara Brettholtz
Clifton Park, NY

I downloaded the Audible version of "The Wordy Shipmates" by Sarah Vowell. I just finished her "Partly Cloudy Patriots" so I'm looking forward to the new work. Sarah belongs on anyone's "Best" list.

(Since I don't have a physical book, this little graphic will have to substitute for my photo.)

I also downloaded the Kindle version of "A Case For God" by Karen Armstrong. I've been hearing a lot about her work and she sounds like the kind of thinker I enjoy. I'm always looking for idea-people who can challenge my blithe godlessness.
I have a book you might like. It is about God, not religion.
Check it out at www.patriciapanahi.com
Cook Food: A Manualfesto for Easy, Healthy, Local Eating, by Lisa Jervis (PM Press).

Yes Means Yes!, eds. Jaclyn Friedman and Jessica Valenti (Seal Press).
Immaculee Ilibagiza's Led By Faith An amazing story. Simply amazing.
I bought A SHORT HISTORY OF WOMEN: A NOVEL by Kate Walbert

And I also bought THE COLLECTED STORIES OF LYDIA DAVIS by Lydia Davis
I bought "It's Not That I'm Bitter..." by Regina Barreca (St. Martin's Press) (author on the right in photo).

And next up on the list of 2009 women authors going on my nightstand:

Will Work for Drugs, Lydia Lunch (Akashic).
I bought Susan Tepper's wonderful collection of short fiction, Deer & Other Stories, just published by Wilderness House Press. It's a very good collection from a skilled writer. As a matter of fact, I liked it so much I just published a review of it on my blog, http://www.treeriesener.blogspot.com. I hope a lot of people here will read the review and buy the book. While you're there, become a follower of my blog. There's a link in the right-hand column. Although my last collection of poetry, Inscapes (Finishing Line Press) was published in 2008 and Angel Poison (Pudding House Publications) in 2007, I'd appreciate it if anyone wants to buy them. Just zing me an e-mail at tree@treeriesener.com for some sample poems and we can arrange a purchase. It's ten dollars and free shipping if you order form me (and then I make a couple of bucks). You can also get Inscapes from Amazon and AP from the publisher. Hope it was all right to be a little commercial here--thought that was what it was all about!
I just bought Barbara Kingsolver's The Lacuna because I love her work and can't wait to read this latest novel.

Funny Women

I want to encourage women to submit to humor venues. I urge you; I implore you. Let’s start a revolution and change the world’s mind about who’s funny. Your heart will swell with accomplishment and your breasts will become larger. This I promise.

"I draw in the margins, or on my 3 X 5 cards. If I'm going to focus on drawing, I prefer watercolor, colored pencils, or markers, depending on the design. And I like the softer colored pencils better than the hard. "
