These are good discussion questions for my book club.
The color of font chosen for the questions though made it hard to read.

The Book Club Kit: The Midnight Library, by Matt Haig, is a great companion piece to help drive the discussion at your local book club. Lots of topics are provided to get the discussions rolling.

I absolutely adore The Midnight Library and always recommend it whenever anyone needs a new read.

This is a great companion to the book to get us thinking even more about our own life choices and what we’ve given up and why.

I can’t wait for Mary’s next book. Great to read an interview with him here.

This was a helpful tool in discussing this book with some friends! I especially appreciated the Q&A with the author. Thank you!

This was an amazing story! I loved the complexity of the main character, and her struggle to find meaning throughout the book. The story developed in a very meaningful way, and it was beautiful to watch her discover the things she loved and what mattered to her.

3.5 Stars!

“Librarians have knowledge. They guide you to the right books. The right words. They find the best places. Like soul-enhanced search engines.”

The story is of Nora Seed, a 35-year-old woman who is unhappy with her life and full of regret. After attempting to commit suicide, she ends up in a parallel state- somewhere between life & death at a place called The Midnight Library. This library is special, not only is her childhood librarian Mrs. Elm there to help guide her, but it’s also filled with thousands of books each one containing different versions of her life. As Nora flips through the books, she is transported to different times and places. Similar to stories like A Christmas Carol, Nora gets to see what her life would be like had she made other choices.

Fiction/ fantasy/ magical realism/ and inspirational all rolled into one. I really liked the message this book was telling. However, in my opinion, the pacing was off. Most of the book felt too long, while the ending seemed rushed.. the author could have told the same story in 100 pages less. But overall an interesting premise and enjoyable read.

Thank you NetGalley and Viking Publishing for sending me a copy!

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.

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.
