Have you read one of our Mood-Boosting Books? At The Reading Agency, we know the importance of reading for our wellbeing. We also know that a feel good read can come in any form. That's why we asked young adults aged 18-25 to share their favourite mood-boosting books. Then a panel of young adults, librarians and booksellers read and reviewed the longlisted titles to help us create the final collection. ⁠ ⁠ Yusuf Shobair, a student who helped choose the collection said: “For me, a mood-boosting book is one that can offer comfort, make you smile, spark your imagination or simply give you a welcome escape from everyday life. I really enjoyed helping to choose the books for this collection because it was a great opportunity to think about the different ways reading can support our mood and wellbeing – and that’s coming from someone who doesn’t really read that much!”⁠ ⁠ The full 2026 #MoodBoosting Books collection: ⁠ ⁠ 🔹Project Hail Mary by @andyweirofficial (Penguin, @penguinrandomhouse)⁠ 🔹Dungeon Crawler Carl by @mattdinniman (Michael Joseph, @penguinrandomhouse)⁠ 🔹Remarkably Bright Creatures by @shelbyvanpeltwrites (@bloomsburypublishing)⁠ 🔹Dallergut Dream Department Store by Miye Lee (Wildfire, Headline)⁠ 🔹Cassandra in Reverse (The Cassandra Complex) by holsmale (Penguin, Penguin Random House UK)⁠ 🔹You Are Here by @davidnichollswriter (Sceptre, @hodderbooks)⁠ 🔹The House in the Cerulean Sea by TJ Klune (Tor, Pan Macmillan)⁠ 🔹The How by @yrsadaleyward (Penguin, Penguin Random House UK)⁠ 🔹The Maid and the Crocodile by @jordanifueko (Hot Key Books, @bonnierbooks_uk)⁠ 🔹The Very Secret Society of Irregular Witches by @Sangu Mandanna⁠ (Hodderscape, @hodderbooks)⁠ ⁠ Head to your library or local bookshop to find these books and see if they boost your mood. 07 Nov 2026
