Hi Purple Poppy: So great that you are giving one of the Cat Who books a try. I've never tried one in audio - someone's voice could be a bit "off" for the character. If you enjoy cats, animals in general and have a spot in the heart for Beatrix Potter, may I suggest a new series by Susan Wittig Albert? Her books use Miss Potter as the central character, with a bit of village whimsy - a la Jane Marple- and all the animal characters speak as well - to each other only of course, all the while wishing the humans were only smart enough to "get it". They are just fun. There is a movie coming out now titled "Miss Potter" with Renee Zelwiger sp? in the title role. Albert's books were first, but may have sparked the movie writers - who knows? Enjoy reading you. M&M.

Hello and thanks to all who've welcomed me. I've been reading various threads and getting to know a little more about the site. This is so great. I found the thread with your desciptions of home. Wonderful. I have to get out the map, or travel guides! I can hear you probably laughing at me - That's OK. I checked out the book, Winter King by Cornwell. Enjoying it, my husband reads a lot of his other works. Don't know if I'll be able to finish it in time to offer anything to a forum, but will read the thread with relish!
