Absolutely loved the book and believe this would be a wonderful resource for anyone discussing the book at large. Really enjoyed the Q&A with the author.

Love the book club kit! My book club is getting ready to read The Midnight Library and this will definitely help us!

I really really loved the concept of the book. After Nora feels unsatisfied with her life, she attempts to remove herself from the world and where she goes next was really interesting and I think this book concept could make an amazing movie adaptation and really be potentially successful as the harry potter franchise.

I'm not a fan of Midnight Library Book itself. It's Over hyped and frustratingly repetitive. Most of our book club members also had same issue. Luckily this guideline kinda salvage our discussion, otherwise It'd be more boring and awkward. Also enjoyed reading author's interview.

This is a book club questions. Not the actual book.

I used these after reading Matt Haig's book and i absolutely loved it. It helped me analyse the book in so much depth and I recommend this to anyone who has read and loved this book. I will be using this in the future with my mates for more discussions.

Such a shrewd and interesting book. I love thinking about the non-afterlife in this way. The author did an incredible job at exploring what happens in the in-between. The book also explores the theme of No Regrets throughout. Main character goes through the ringer in life, but in the end teaches us not to be scared, to be resilient, and to get your stuff together and fix things.

A very handy resource for anyone who runs a book club. It includes a selection of thoughtful questions for discussion, as well as a Q&A with the author that can be read out at the book club for additional information and insight.

The midnight library is a book about life.
Through this beautiful story of a 35 year old woman, we experience the joy and the pain of life itself!
These are just the excerpt from the book but I cannot wait to read the rest of the book 😍

My IRL Book Club has benefitted from a few of these "Book Club Kits", including this one about "The Midnight Library". The readers' questions were thought-provoking and incited some great discussion. Everyone also appreciate the added context of the Q&A with the author, Matt Haig. Thanks for providing this resource, Net Galley!

This little kit includes discussion questions for everyone who loved The Midnight Library to get more out of the book. Also there is a Q & A session with the author which gives his insights on the book and the writing process.

This is a perfect gift for anyone who loves Matt Haig’s book and especially loved The Midnight Library.

I thought I was getting the actual book but all I was getting was the Book Club Kit. Therefore I couldn’t read the book itself. Sigh. But I hear it’s great.

As I read and contemplate using Haig’s book as a source for a sermon this is a very useful tool to help bring up themes, perspectives and questions for consideration. Very helpful.

Loved this book club kit. My friend and I found it to be super helpful in gauging our discussion for The MIdnight Library.

Tried this out with some people I read the book with. I didn't like that the questions weren't really specific to the book but were very general. They did pose good conversation topics, vehicles for social conversation and I guess ice breakers, but the questions themselves were a bit vague for my literary interests.

This was a great addition to my book club discussion. We really enjoyed the extras from this book club kit. I’m so glad I found it!

As a resource, this gem adds novel value to the experience of thinking about possibilities we don't often confront in life. Decisions are so important, and Haig does a good job bringing this perspective to life.

Excellent read, and although I misunderstood what a bookclub kit was, it looks as if it would be excellent! And it did spur me on to buy the book!

Thank you to NetGalley and Penguin Random House Library Resources for providing me with a copy of this publication! I loved it! The questions were awesome!

Every now and then a book comes along that has mixed reviews. It either really appeals or doesn't. This book has impacted me in so many ways that it is almost difficult to put it into words. I have only just finished a self help book called The Four Agreements when I read this book. At some point in The Midnight Library, not too far in, as I was reading I was thinking of the Four Agreements. I was impacted greatly by the Four Agreements and together with my best friend, whose therapist had asked I read it with her, I saw how they would help the Nora. I could see myself and my friend in her, our low spots, very slow spots and how we had tried lifting ourselves and not until The Four Agreements did we learn how. Once Nora started to like and love herself, and like and love aspects of her life as it had been she could see a future for herself and could live the best life possible. We are not so lucky to have a Midnight Library to help us and we have to see these things for ourselves but to be able to see what was important, what mattered, who was important and who mattered was eye opening for Nora and she had the time to live into the best life possible without regrets of what might have. I found myself soul searching and reliving moments from my past and from my present and how I wanted to see the future to be. I was emotionally and mentally stimulated by this book and it is one that I will not part with and when I need reminding that things could be much worse, I shall pick it up and read parts again. I cannot say who I would recommend this book to because in my mind it is a book with nothing to dislike about it but, like I admitted we can't all like the same things. If you have questions about yourself and how your life could be better and have nothing but regrets maybe this book will give you a little of the insight that you need to reevaluate yourself and your life and hopefully see that things could be worse and that life is truly worth living.

This is the first book club kit I've gotten but I'm hoping to use it for our library book club we're starting up this fall when we can finally have in person programming again.

I'm looking forward to using the discussion questions and being able to tell our club members a little bit more about Matt Haig and his thoughts about the book.

Thank you Netgalley for this book club kit. I think it's going to be very helpful!
