Good books are kind of like Tarot cards for me. There is a magic to what you pick up, when you pick it up, and what the message is for your life.

Open Pandora's Box: The Charm Bracelet of all Charm Bracelets

Okay, so I would just like to put it out there that I do realize Pandora bracelets have been around for a while.
