Book and a Brew

Books, memories, mental health.



Book and a Brew isn’t a book club. We believe in the healing power of reading for fun, to improve and maintain our mental health. We’re different from a book club as we don’t all read the same thing. Each fortnight, we’ll give you a prompt (e.g. a murder mystery), and it’s up to you to select a book that fits that theme. Your choice can be anything you like – an old favorite, a book from the library or an audiobook (we love audiobooks!)

Reading is a powerful weapon in our battle against depression and anxiety. It takes us out of our heads when we’ve had a tough day, relaxes us, and gives us something different on which to focus our thoughts. You don’t have to spend hours each day reading (we don’t!). Just 10 minutes each day can have a positive effect. If you are struggling right now, or are a survivor of depression and anxiety, join Book and Brew to experience the positive effects of reading for fun. Whether you’re new to reading, or an avid reader, we have a prompt for all ages and abilities.
