Feeling a bit low? For a guilt free pick me up why not try a mood boosting book. There are no calories or side effects and no hangover in the morning. However, addiction may become a problem.
The list contains 25 titles including fiction, non-fiction, poetry, short stories and children’s books.
Here are my favourites.
Ross Poldark by Winston Graham
I know you shouldn’t judge a book by its cover, but this one certainly boosts my mood!
Mort by Terry Pratchett
Terry Pratchett’s quirky, satirical take on the world as demonstrated in his Discworld novels, always makes me smile.
Twenty years after “Notes From a Small Island” was published, Bill Bryson takes another trip around this green and pleasant land to see what has changed and once again gives us his perceptive and hilarious insight into all that is best and worst about Britain today.
The Emergency Poet edited by Deborah Alma
If you’re having one of those days when the world is just too much for you, dip into this anti-stress poetry anthology and try reading “Inessential Things” by Brian Patten and “Leisure” by W H Davies.
A heart warming tale of Juan Salvador, the penguin rescued from an oil slick in Uruguay by a young British teacher, Tom Michell. “I was hoping against hope that the penguin would survive because, as of that instant, he had a name, and with his name came the beginning of a bond that would last a lifetime.”
