Don't know what to wish for!!!

Life is so unpredictable. I think humans try to make their life better by doing a lot of things but the truth is that we are merely the puppets in the hands of God.

The queen went furious and wild with jealousy after hearing this. S

It was published by MIRA Books in the year 2008. I choose to review this book because it’s a great book. It gives everyone a sense of hope. The book tells us the idea of making a list of twenty wishes, not goals or objectives, which is astonishing. These wishes help you keep your hopes high and live life. Anne Marie Roche made a list of twenty wishes and saw them come true in an un
