I have always enjoyed reading books. This was a book out of the usual genre I read. It was a chance I took because of the cover. For once I judged the book by the cover and did not regret a single thing. The book was heartwarmingly funny and expressive. I laughed and laughed some more until I had to clutch my stomach and take deep breaths to calm down. The author has done an amazing job at making it seem like a funny book but with internal and deep means hidden behind her words. The entire book is a piece of art that I don’t regret reading.

A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens
This product was recommended by Joshua Tibando from FindStorageFast
My go-to book when I am feeling down is – A Christmas Carol. It is my childhood favorite. This book brings me the same amount of *joy* it did when I read it as a kid.

The story shows him his past, present, and future. As he discovers his fate, he wakes, elated to be alive. This book is *uplifting* and a must-read. With just 125 pages, it could provide you with a little perspective on life that stays with you.
