| 1. |  | Run: A Novel (P.S.) from Harper Perennial Price: $10.17 Customer Review:  I have read other works by Ann Patchett and enjoyed them, but Run left me as cold as the wintery environment in which it is set. It is the story of a Boston politician who has two adopted African American sons, and what happens after they inadvertently discover their birth mother and biological... |

| 2. |  | Animal Farm: Centennial Edition from Plume Price: $11.20 Customer Review:  ANIMAL FARM is a very well written little satire that actually is quite hilarious in places. Scholars of the beginnings of the former USSR may enjoy dissecting the novel and figuring out who or what on the old "Manor Farm" Orwell meant to represent what reality in Russia. Happily, the rest of us can... |

| 3. |  | Bel Canto (P.S.) from Harper Perennial Price: $11.16 Customer Review:  Page 15 - "Instead he listened to Maria Callas sing a collection of Greek songs on his Nansei headset, ...." Exactly when did Callas record these little Grecian treasures? John Ardoin certainly makes no reference to them is his terrific book "The Callas Legacy" Flung Bel Canto out the... |

| 6. |  | The Patron Saint of Liars: A Novel (P.S.) from Harper Perennial Price: $11.99 Customer Review:  This was my first Ann Patchett novel and I do have to say that I loved it. This book was magically written with a story line that was so unique compared to other novels that I have read lately. Rose is a hung woman, pregnant for the first time, who feels that she no longer loves her husband, and... |

| 7. |  | The Magician's Assistant from Harvest Books Price: $11.20 Customer Review: If you are looking for a book to read during the long nights this winter, try this one! It really is a wonderful novel about love, loss and the power of possibilities. I have a the unabridged CD version of this book (10 cds in all). After listening to half of the first CD I thought I had made a... |

| 8. |  | Bel Canto (P.S.) from Harper Perennial Modern Classics Price: $11.65 Customer Review: The most touching, moving book I've read in years. Explores the human condition from many angles, profiling a wide array of international characters and the unwitting, often surprising connections they make with one another. Filled with pathos, romance, as well as the heartbreak of humans not... |

| 10. |  | Taft: A Novel (P.S.) from Harper Perennial Price: $11.86 Customer Review: I'm a big fan of Ann Patchett, so I stuck with this book and was happy I did. It wasn't as wonderful as some of her other books, but I enjoyed it and passed it on to someone else (which I don't do if I don't like the book). Certainly not a waste of time. |

| 11. |  | Bel Canto from Fourth Estate Customer Review: This book is about a hostage situation in a third world country. Random but important guests are held at the vice president's house by terrorists. The author manages to put so much beauty into this seemingly horrifying scenario. The reader can not help but feel empathy toward her characters. I was... |

| 12. |  | Bel Canto CD from HarperAudio Price: $14.57 Customer Review: I saw the review written and I wanted to say that this is one of my favorite books. Obviously not every book is for every person, maybe the CD is not as good?! (I read the book - I am just posting so that people don't miss such a good book based on one person's bad review.) So if you are thinking of... |

| 14. |  | The Worst Noel: Hellish Holiday Tales from HarperCollins Price: $11.96 Customer Review: Yes, as you might guess from the title, this book is mildly amusing in spots. But then a leopard is coal black in spots, too. Most of the essays are written by Jewish females who tend to be too arch and clever by half for their own good, and who seem to think that cynicism and... |

The photos are beautiful, thought provoking and make me aware of the bonds between women in my family.
