Great resource to use with your book club. Lots of amazing discussion topics. My book club is looking to read this book and I will absolutely utilize this kit!

Thank you to the publisher and Netgalley.

The perfect companion to the book. I utilized the script for my book club and it was just perfect. The short commentary from the author was a great way to understand where his thoughts for the book came from.

The Midnight Library is a fictional book that takes you on a journey of the possible life decisions of
Nora Seed. Nora, the main character of this story, has almost given up on her life until she is given
the chance to change it. She could reverse her regretted decisions or follow a different career or undo
old breakups. However, she must look within herself as she travels through the Midnight Library’s
bookshelves to decide what is truly fulfilling for her, and what makes it worth living.

The book showed me a very simple message that we all seem to forget, and thus, we lose sight of
what’s important. The message is: Imagining a better life, is not reality. Imagining someone else’s life
as your own, is not reality. You are merely ‘imagining’ the happy parts, forgetting that life doesn’t
work this way. In reality, we go down unexpected paths that don’t necessarily make us satisfied or
happy, and sometimes, can shatter us to pieces. These paths could create self-doubt, irresponsibility,
uncontrollable anger, and hopelessness. As an escape, we then start building an ideal, dreamlike life
that we believe would make us happier and that we’re nothing without it. Little did we know that
these unwanted paths were there for a reason. They carried a life lesson that prepared us for the next
journey.

I also connected with Nora’s character as she reminded me of my old self. Over the past years, I used
to compare my life to others, constantly adding to my unhappiness. I felt useless, cursed with a life I
never asked for, and hopeless. It left me with no motivation or stamina, serving as a distraction from
my goals. The painful emotional experiences I went through were surprisingly my wake-up call. With
every situation I encountered, I learned when to stay and fight and when to leave. It was then that I
realized everything happens for a reason, and these situations led me to be who I am today. While
exploring Nora’s journey, I became aware that there were matters outside of my control and there
were matters within my control such as, my mindset, my energy, my friends and relationships, and
my free time. I had the choice to tailor these matters to what brings me joy, and with that, I could
achieve a better perspective on my life.

Matt Haig’s writing style was easy and relatable. I never felt lost or confused while reading this book.
He also paced his story really well; he didn’t rush, nor did he go slow. He provided just the right
amount of details to imagine the setting of the story and characters while travelling through Nora’s
adventures. I would definitely recommend this book to anybody. We are all going through mental
challenges, and we need to be reminded how important our life is, even if the world is unfair and
dark.

A short kit with questions about "The Midnight Library" and interview with the author. It is okay. Nothing truly enlightening,

It is rare for me to finish a book in a day, but this was one of those books. I had to finish it , to see how it ended. What I loved about this book was the forced introspection. Matt Haig teaches you to appreciate each day, love deeply, and never forget that your life can change in a moment. This book is worth the time and I would recommend it to any age.

I have previously read this book and think it would make a great book club kit, especially since the holds list at my library is still incredibly long, I am sure there are a ton of people who are eager to discuss this book. I think these are some really good discussion questions and insight from the author. These questions had me thinking back to when I read it and how I would answer, they were very thought-provoking.

I loved this book when I read it, and I was so eager to read it with my book club. This book club kit offers such good discussion topics and questions. Thank you to NetGalley and Penguin Random House Library Resources for a copy of this book for an honest review.

With this book club kit you get an fantastic tool for this outstanding read by Matt Haig, The Midnight Library.
Somewhere out beyond the edge of the universe there is a library that contains an infinite number of books, each one the story of another reality. One tells the story of your life as it is, along with another book for the other life you could have lived if you had made a different choice at any point in your life. While we all wonder how our lives might have been, what if you had the chance to go to the library and see for yourself? Would any of these other lives truly be better?

In The Midnight Library, Matt Haig's enchanting blockbuster novel, Nora Seed finds herself faced with this decision. Faced with the possibility of changing her life for a new one, following a different career, undoing old breakups, realizing her dreams of becoming a glaciologist; she must search within herself as she travels through the Midnight Library to decide what is truly fulfilling in life, and what makes it worth living in the first place.

The midnight library was a delightful book with lots of discussion opportunities for book clubs. I highly recommend the book and the discussion opportunities.

The book club kit is an excellent resource for those discussing The Midnight Library. The questions made me think about the choices I would make if--or when--I visited The Midnight Library. 4 stars

First of all, wow. What a powerful, brilliant novel from Matt Haig.

I started The Midnight Library as I’d seen lots of people I knew/followed on Instagram reading it, and because I love Matt himself and all that he stands up for. When I started reading it, however, I had no idea just how wonderful it would be.

The Midnight Library tells us the story of Nora, who is extremely depressed and, after a series of events, is faced with the opportunity to see how her life could be different, in the hunt for fulfilment and true happiness.

From the beginning, I was instantly drawn to Nora. I felt that Haig’s writing accurately depicted how depressive thoughts can look/sound, and the prose really showed depth.

Not only could this book appeal to those that enjoy fantasy, as it contains a library with an infinite amount of books that can take you to infinite places, but it is also accessible for those that just love a good story. Haig’s writing of The Midnight Library means that it can be as poignant, personal and thought-inspiring as you want/need it to be - it all depends on the reader, how they interpret/connect with the story, and their experiences within their own lives.

While reading this book, I found myself going through a range of emotions. From being heartbroken to feeling a sense of warmth and satisfaction.

There are truly not enough positive adjectives for me to use to describe this book and how it spoke to me. It is thought-provokingly beautiful, and provided me with lots of smiles (and a few tears too!). An absolute recommendation from me, to Matt Haig and his wonderful story!

I’ve read the Midnight Library and loved it. The discussions questions are all really great and I wish I had them when I was talking about this book with my friends.

Having the author background and I pristine etc while making the book adds a deeper level to the book than I had considered prior. Mental illness is no fun thing, but the book was so good that I forgot about the author behind the curtain that might have the same issues. The gender change of Nora was something fun to learn about.

Book Club Kits are very useful when starting your own book club. I always wanted to start a book club with my friends, but other than reading the same books at the same time, we did not do much else. Having a book club kit helps with thought-provoking questions that help readers really think about the book and not just consume the words.

I had high hopes for The Midnight Library, as I kept hearing about it everywhere (online, Good Morning America, book club, etc.). The reviews were nonstop amazing, an abundance of readers stated how this book changed the way they look at life and that it was so inspirational; I had to pick it up.

An eternal library, an infinite number of books, seeing ones life if they had made a different choice - it seemed like a fairly tale I wanted to be in.

Although the book was somewhat well written and the storyline flowed, I felt it depressing and predictable. Serious subjects and philosophical attempts were trite. I was only able to read small portions at a time and wound up reading other books in between; it was very hard for me to want to pick back up and finish.

The Midnight Library is not for those who have spent time self-reflecting and have a high sense of self-awareness. I would recommend as a YA book as some serious themes are sensitively written.

These were great, thought-provoking questions surrounding the book that seriously makes you think harder about the book. I think that these will make fantastic book club questions and the extra mini interview with Matt Haig was fantastic.

The bookclub kit is good if you decide to start you own book club & want certaing topics to be discussed on the daily or weekly with your reading buddies. I haven't read the book yet but this has given me an insight on what i can expect.

Looking forward to using this in my book group next month! Full of thought provoking questions. What a great resource!

Nora is suffering from depression and anxiety. She doesn't know what to do with her life. She feels everything it's happening to her and she decides she doesn't want to live anymore.
Stuck between death and life, she wakes up in The Library, a place where Nora can choose from an infinite number of books all the lives she didn't live. She just want to see where she would be if her choices where different in a point in life.
But, like in any library, there are rules. She can never visit a life twice, she can visit as many lives as she wants, and others like these ones.
This book is very deep. Nora is a normal person, like all of us, and life can be mean with her. She tries to find a life where she's happy, where she feels at peace with herself and with the others.
"The Midnight Library" is a book about life, about mistakes, and about regrets. I think everyone needs to read this book, just to see that you don't need to have the most perfect life to be happy. Just be true with yourself and just try.

The Midnight Library is a moving look at the lives we could have lived, a question everyone comes back to at some point in their lives. The book club kit contains excellent content for delving deeper into the themes of Midnight Library and encouraging member interaction. The bonus interview from the author is a great addition as well.

We used this during our book club and it helped direct our conversation really well! The questions sent us on a longer than planned discussion about what we'd like our "midnight library" to look like (or what we think it would look like) and some pretty honest discussion around suicide and depression.
