I love Matt Haig and I'm pretty much addicted to his work and everything that he says so, it doesn't surprise me that I enjoyed reading midnight library with this at my side. I didn't use it for a book club because I currently just moved and do not have any friends, but I can see it being a great discussion starter for a truly beautiful book. The questions are very thoughtful and not boring like a lot of questions tend to be for book club questions. At least in my opinion. Thank you #netgalley as well as #matthaig for allowing me to experience this book in a very introspective and beautiful way in the exchange for an honest review.
First and foremost, a big thank you to NetGalley and Penguin Random House Library Resources for providing me with a copy of this publication, which allows me to provide you with an unbiased review.
The book club kit was incredibly insightful and interesting. The addition of the author's interview, as well as the discussions, questions, and answers, was very enlightening.
This book club kit was really helpfull for my reunion today. It guided us through the discussion in a very interesting way.
The book kit for the Midnight Library is okay. It has the basics of what you look for in a book kit. It helped me

Love this for a book club on this phenomenal book. Definitely opens up more questions and answers and to see other people’s perspectives. Everything about this was on point
From the first paragraph, I knew this book would be a good one. I immersed myself into the book from the first chapter and I cannot say enough good things about this book! Honestly amazing! The writing is incredible and the plot is just one to die for. I am absolutely obsessed with this book. My favorite part would have to be the character development throughout the book. Character development is something I look forward to and this book did not disappoint.
I thought this was a really great idea for book clubs! It gives really good focusing points for discussions and even includes a nice interview with the author and it is always nice to see what is going on in the mind of the author especially when the book is very popular and well loved.
Enjoyable and useful for book club. I've found since lockdown we need more guidance to help discussion over zoom. Not sure I'd buy it myself but as a ARC it was good.
This Book Club Kit for "THE MIDNIGHT LIBRARY" by Bestselling author Matt Haig is sheer perfection.
The seven page kit is short enough that it can be printed out for each member of your Book Club.
The page of Discussion Questions is sure to generate many opinions and will result in a spirited book club meeting.
The included interview with author Matt Haig is sure to be a hit and will allow members to feel as if they know more about him and is a terrific inclusion.
I rate this Book Club Kit as 5 OUT OF 5 STARS ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
This is an excellent tool for a book club reading The Midnight Library. I have found that sometimes book club discussions become stale or get off topic because people don't know where to start in discussing the different plot points. A book club kit like this would greatly assist in this area.

I misread this request when I turned it in. As a book club leader, this kit is helpful, but I really wanted to read the book. Thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for ARC.

These are great questions and comments that enhance the reading of The Midnight Library. Sometimes themes and concepts are missed on a first reading or other readers have different opinions about the story and how it relates to them. This added bonus leads to great discussions!
I read this book for not one but two book clubs! This was such a helpful guide. We enjoyed the discussion questions and felt, like the book, they really made you think. The book itself was fabulous!
The Midnight Library has to be my ultimate favorite book now. I loved everything about it especially the writing. Matt Haig gave us beautiful passages describing life and death. I loved our main character Nora and her journey to self discovery. Of course I had to purchase a physical copy for my personal library. I also purchased several copies for my classroom and friends. This book brought joy and especially tears in understanding grief, feelings of anxiety, and depression. The Midnight Library was absolutely beautiful and I would forever treasure all of the amazing passages. Thank you so much Netgalley for giving me the opportunity to read this amazing book.
The Midnight Library makes a great book for book club and this kit is everything you need to facilitate great discussion.
The Midnight Library Book Club Kit was a great companion to the novel. Great questions for discussion with a book group or to reflect on independently.
I enjoyed the interview with the author as well.
The book is lovely and this took it to another level.
Thank you to the publisher and #NetGalley for the ARC. All opinions are my own.
The Midnight library left me in a state between reality and fiction, where my imagination can go on forever. The Midnight Library was such an interesting read! The idea of the Library was so unique and captivating. I think what made this story so intriguing is that everyone can relate to the main idea in the book. In life, we all want the satisfaction that we have made the right choices and are living out our best life. Seeing how Nora can choose which life she wants to see play out based on different decisions she has made in life, is quite interesting. As human beings we all live with regrets, but the Midnight Library highlights the idea that our "regrets" are mere figments of own perception. What we characterize as a regret can look very different to someone else or looking back at it with a different perception or mindset. After reading this book, I found myself looking at things in a different perspective. This work of fiction made me look at reality different and I think that is incredibly powerful. I give Matt Haig all the praise for this incredible book! The Midnight Library book club kit was very well put together and had some very stimulating questions. This discussion guide was a great way to reflect on ideas and themes woven throughout the story and gives us as readers a chance to reflect on our own life and decisions we have made. I think the discussions from these questions in a book club setting would make for some very interesting and empowering conversations in a variety of depths, from looking back at past decisions either small and relatively non consequential decisions to very deep emotional content. I think this book is a wonderful work of literature and would highly recommend both the novel and the book club kit to any book clubs or groups who want to dive into the depths of interpretation and conversations around these themes.
The questions that are in this Book Club Kit are extremely thought provoking fitting the book itself well. I had hoped that there would have been a bit more but the questions were extremely well done. I appreciated the additional information that was included with questions to the author of how he wrote the book.
I'm planning to include The Midnight Library in a future book club with my co-workers and friends, so I think this will be a very nice and handy booklet for our book club discussion. It seems like an insightful and helpful addition to have. I'm glad it's available for readers to download!
