On behalf of the NNLM Reading Club team, we are pleased to announce the August 2025 theme, Chronic Pain. 

We are pleased to be featuring three new books related to Chronic Pain:

• Sick by Porochista Khakpour
• All’s Well by Mona Awad
• The Song of Our Scars by Haider Warraich

We would like to thank our NNLM Reading Club Advisory Group, which is made up of NNLM Members who worked together to choose this topic, select the three books we are featuring this month, and to develop book discussion guides.

Books and health information resources are available on our Reading Club website:
