Make Someone Happy: Favorite Postings

This is a collection of Elizabeth Berg's most-loved Facebook posts. She was asked by many to put these short essays into book form, to create, as one reader said, something to "take to the beach, or bed, or on an airplane." Elizabeth and her friend, the book's designer Phyllis Florin, happily complied, and they hope that their offering will be as welcome as flowers in a mailbox.

There is just no one who can write like Elizabeth Berg! I've enjoyed each of her books throughout the years and this is no exception. I ordered two of these books (one for me and one for a friend) without even reading what it was about, and it's an absolute delight. The fun thing about "Make Someone Happy" is that you can pick it up, read a quick posting entry, and stop right there ... or put it aside and be on your way. I love that you don't have to start at the beginning; you can open it to any posting and still enjoy a quick read or several. A great little book of lovely writings for today's busy lifestyle!

When I see an Elizabeth Berg posting on Facebook I stop what I've doing and read the entire post, no matter how long it is or what it's about. I love her writing that much. To have an entire book full of her Facebook posts is a true joy for me.

This book is a little gem- absolutely heart-warming and soul-nourishing. It's like having a wonderful, meandering conversation about life with your best friend. The PERFECT GIFT!! I bought 4 more- so I'd have on-hand for anyone who might need a 'pick-me-up', or a sweet summer read.

I was fortunate enough to read an advance copy of this lovely gem of a book - and just now ordered copies for family and friends. There is wisdom here, and laughter, and grace and beauty and grit. It's the sort of book one keeps at one's bedside, and at the ready elsewhere, too, for the times when hopes fray and life overwhelms. Elizabeth Berg is a superb novelist - but you already know that. This is a different Elizabeth: the glorious good friend, helping you endure by virtue of her reflections and her deep, simmering intelligence. You'll love this book. Truly.

Elizabeth Berg! I have been feeling down. Your collection of little muses on huge thoughts; is my antidote for the poisonous sharp news clips coming from this noxious political cycle. Your compassion for the beauty of nature and the suffering of others is a remedy for the current political narcissism we are exposed to daily. When I worry, I am becoming numb to it, I pull out your nourishing book from my pocketbook and sigh - “There is hope”. Thank you!

This book of short essays and musings on life is a delight. Her insights into the mundane and incredible are so well written. They make me think and sigh and smile and shake my head Yes! I also love that each essay is a mini bite- that can be read quickly but remembered for a long time. I especially loved Front Porch 1 and My Mother, Marion Jean Loney Hoff.

I was lucky enough to review an advance copy of this book. It was wonderful, a much needed pick me up for each day. Highly recommend-it's the type of book you'll want to give to all your girlfriends.

This is such a fun book, nice and compact, like a journal almost. I love Elizabeth Berg and follow her on FaceBook and I'm so happy she decided to put some of her postings in a book. I am reading them a bit like eating chocolates, just a couple a day. She inspires me and makes me want to be a better person.
