Jane | 297 comments Finally got around to finishing one book off my list:

1/6

Box Set: Writing the Right Way
Bird by Bird: Some Instructions on Writing and Life by Anne Lamott - 3.5 stars

Lamott is very funny, but this book just didn't inspire me to write. I'm very interested in her other writing however so I will definitely be looking into that.
