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.

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.

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!
