What books boost your mood?

A book a day helps keep the blues away! Do you ever wish you could escape for a while? Does reading help you to feel better?

The Australian Library and Information Association is seeking nominations of books which make us feel good about life. Do you have a favourite uplifting book that you would like to share with others?

To have your say, comment on this post (anonymously if you wish!), or find your favourite book in the library and let us know about it! Include the title, author and if you like, a short quote from the book.

Nominations can be from anyone, and can cover any genre – fiction, non-fiction, poetry, plays or other works. The top 10 nominated books will be posted on the ALIA website on World Mental Health Day, 10th October 2016, and the list will be used to support the Books on Prescription program.
