Boost your mood, forget the weather

What a lovely idea!

Mood boosting books in the Healthcare Library

The weather outside is rubbish! It's cold, wet and seriously windy. It's enough to put anyone in a bit of a grump. But here's something we now have available in the library which we hope can help to lift your spirits - 'Mood Boosting Books'. A selection of uplifting titles picked by readers and book clubs around the country.
Of course these books aren't just for beating the winter weather blues. If you're feeling a bit down about work or in your personal life, it's amazing what a good book can do for your entire outlook on things. The scheme also teamed up with Macmillan Cancer Support to involve readers diagnosed with cancer to produce a list of recommended books.

Why wait until your on holiday to enjoy a heart warming novel or true story? How about getting inspired by some beautiful poetry?

Relax with a hot drink - anytime!

Pop down to the library and find something great to read that will hopefully make you feel so much better afterwards.

If you want to get away from the hustle and bustle of the work place, or if you want a quiet place to have a nice sit and a read, come pay us a visit. You can pick up one of the mood boosting books (or a book on maxillofacial surgery if that's your thing), find a quiet space to sit in and even enjoy a hot drink with our new coffee machine, any time of day or night.

I can personally recommend the novel This Book Will Save Your Life by A.M. Homes, my wife is currently enjoying A Street Cat Named Bob by James Bowen.

Full list of mood boosting titles can be found here and the Macmillan mood boosting recommendations here... enjoy!

Until next time...
