Reading Challenge, October: “Health and Well-Being”

Welcome to October! Every month for our 2019 Reading Challenge has a different theme, and the theme for October is:

Health and Well-Being

It seems rather timely that we should head into the tale end of a semester with a reading challenge topic of "Health and Well-Being." At this time of year, we could all do with a reminder to keep an eye on our health.

For those of you who are late to the game, or just want a refresher, the rules of the challenge are quite simple:

1. Read as many books as you can within the month that fit the theme. You figure out how the book fits the theme, so go ahead and shoe-horn whatever you want into that topic.

2. Read at least one work of fiction, one work of non-fiction, one work by an Australian author and one work by an author you haven't read before. The same book can qualify for multiple categories (for example, a non-fiction book by an Australian author you haven't read before), so you can get away with reading only two books a month and still meet the challenge. However, the more the merrier.

And we love hearing about what you're reading as part of the challenge, so feel free to send us a review. Send it to library@jcu.edu.au. We're particularly fond of books we have in our collection, but as long as you can borrow it from any library in the region we're happy.

And if you feel like you need a little inspiration, and you don't mind a bit of help from an Amazon subsidiary company, these list from Goodreads might give you some ideas: Health Book Lists.
