Mood-boosting Books - chosen by young adults
Mood-boosting Books is a reading and health programme that provides recommended reading to boost mood and support wellbeing and includes books chosen by readers that are feel-good and uplifting.
As part of the National Year of Reading 2026, and developed in partnership with The Booksellers Association, a new Mood-boosting Books collection has been chosen by young adults (18-25) to be enjoyed by adults of all ages (18+).
The collection will launch on 10 October 2026 for World Mental Health Day.
