Reading for pleasure

Browse our reading for pleasure collection and activities.

We have a collection of reading for pleasure resources available for you to use through the library. Reading for pleasure can positively benefit your mental health and wellbeing. We also run events relating to our reading for pleasure initiative.

Our collection

Use library search or our reading lists to choose an item, and request to collect it from the campus of your choice. We also have displays of topical and new books across our libraries, ask at the help desk if you would like a staff member to show you where to find these.

Reading lists

Book clubs

We run a Book Club for UWE Bristol students and staff, everyone is welcome to join.

Our Book Clubs run throughout the academic year and link to the history months. Pick a book to read that relates to the history month. We have suggested 8 titles for each Book Club but you can choose anything that interests you. Our Book Clubs will take place over lunchtime and we will discuss the books we've read and topics covered. There is no obligation to speak in the group if you do not want to - come along for the company and conversation!
