Anna Quindlen's little book is, indeed, short. I read it in about 15 minutes. It's a sweet book that probably started as a blog post and morphed into a tiny, happy book with photos. This is good, practical advice to find treasures in every day li...more...]]> The Secret to True Happiness: Enjoy Today, Embrace Tomorrow (Hardcover) by Joyce Meyer]]> http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/51748516 http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41XqerTGGKL._SL75_.jpg 1613293 Smallworld http://www.goodreads.com/images/nophoto-U-50x66.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/user/show/1613293-smallworld Mon, 06 Apr 2009 17:43:38 -0700 http://smallworldreads.blogspot.com/2009...

Cheesy title, I know. I would probably never read a book with this title except that I received this signed copy to review—and I always read review copies.
