    <about><![CDATA[Looking for the humor in everyday living. Once a single mother of three energetic little boys looking for love.<br/>Now happily single still and looking at my past with a great deal of amusement.<br/>Love my Book Clubs and meeting friends for coffee at sidewalk cafes and bookstores.  I want a kitten or puppy or both, and looking forward to the time when I can stay home with them. Also, I have a granddaughter who I want to spend time with as soon as I retire from my job at the post office. Love reading old diaries. Love writing letters and keeping a journal.]]></about>

I couldn't afford to get the $270-US set, so I've been<br/>purchasing one unabridged Harry Potter book at a time as I get a 15% off coupon from b&amp;n on top of my  membership. He has an award-winning voice.<br/>Also, Bianca Amato &amp; Jill Tanner narrate the unabridged version of THE THIRTEENTH TALE by Diane<br/>Setterfield, and they do a marvelous job. All have<br/>British accents, so that must be the key to readings<br/>that hold the listener's attention to the end.<br/>]]></body>
