		<description><![CDATA[I shampoo with a vitamin-enriching hair growth shampoo that neither enriches nor grows hair. It&#8217;s just my own personal vanity that I even try to have a head of hair like I had in my 20&#8217;s. Today, I gave up and shaved my head completely bald. I usually do this at the end of June [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Over at Publisher Weekly&#8217;s  Shelftalker&#8217;s blog, a question is posed: Who are your literary crushes? It&#8217;s actually a fascinating question and one I&#8217;ve never given serious conscious thought to until now.
