This is Happiness by Niall Williams book cover image

This is Happiness by Niall Williams

A profound and enchanting new novel from Booker Prize-longlisted author Niall Williams about the loves of our lives and the joys of reminiscing.

Niall Williams’ latest novel is an intricately observed portrait of a community, its idiosyncrasies and its traditions, its paradoxes and its inanities, its failures and its triumphs. Luminous and otherworldly, and yet anchored with deep-running roots into the earthy and the everyday, This Is Happiness is about stories as the very stuff of life: the ways they make the texture and matter of our world and the ways they write and rewrite us. (Also available in AudioBook)

Friendship Bracelets have come a long way since I made them out of chewing gum wrappers back in prehistoric days and my girls made them from embroidery floss.

  1. Thank you so much for sharing my upcoming free eBook promotion!
    I feel your pain with the email open and click rates. All I hear these days is to build up your email lists and yet once you get people on the list, it’s no guarantee they will even open or click on the emails. I really don’t know what makes people want to click. It’s a mystery to me. Maybe one day we’ll figure it out, lol!
    Have a great weekend!

  2. OMG. I have to say, this is my first newsletter, but the friendship bracelet kits and the books – especially, “Maisie McGillicuddy’s Sheep Got Muddy” (WHAT an adorable cover – I immediately bought the book and kit for my granddaughter. I didn’t even know about these things! AND I am going to attempt to make that Shamrock Shake Lasagna because it makes me drool looking at the picture. I am SO happy I signed up for this newsletter. This is stunning, Gina! Awesome Job!!! If you ever need book reviewers, let me know. 🙂
