Registration for the Autumn Wellness Book Club is now open. Reading fiction has so many benefits for emotional wellbeing, from reducing stress to better sleep! This term, we will be reading Delia Owens’ 2021 novel Where the Crawdads Sing.
Described by the New York Times Book Review as “a painfully beautiful first novel that is at once a murder mystery, a coming-of-age narrative and a celebration of nature,” the book was also a feature film this past summer.
The Book Club will be hosted by Liaison Librarian, Justine Cotton, who is passionate about sharing the positive impact of reading and discussing books. You can contact her with any questions at jcotton@brocku.ca
Meetings will be held in-person in October (with an option to meet virtually, if preferred). As a part of the Club, members may choose to participate in a research study on the benefits of reading “for fun” on stress levels in university students.
