Welcome to the Vital Pauses Book Club, affectionately named 'The Reading Room.' I am thrilled to share my primary menopause reads with you, featuring a curated list of books that encompass humour, facts, recipes, and total lifestyle shifts. These books are my top picks, and I'll be reading at least one each month. If you'd like to join me, I'll be organizing an online book club where we can discuss, share insights, and support each other on our journey through menopause.
Here are the six books about menopause that I highly recommend and the month order I'll be reading them.

August Choice
Dr Mary Claire Haver
Why I Selected It
I am officially a Dr. Haver fangirl. When I had no idea what was going on with me and only had scattered information about perimenopause, I stumbled upon Dr. Haver on Instagram and finally started to understand that I was not crazy! Her approach to menopause is both factual and empowering. This book provides a comprehensive guide to navigating hormonal changes with purpose and power. I chose this as our August read to kickstart our book club with a foundational understanding of menopause.
