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.

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.
