This was super helpful with my buddy reads and really helped keep the conversation going and in a way it helped guide us through the book. It is a short easy read but I felt like if I did not have these questions I would have missed a little bit of the over arching themes and we loved this. I also loved the interview questions from the author because it was great to get into the headspace of the author and what brough them to write the book.

The Midnight Library was such a unique concept! It made me think about many defining moments in my own life and wonder “what would have happened if...” the tiniest change can send you on a completely different course. Loved this book and it’s thought provoking story telling!

Wow. All of Matt Haig's insights about what his book is intended to be was just so comforting. I promptly ordered this book and might just even try to read it with a group. This is a perfect discussion guide.

A great accompaniment to the book and questions that could have kept us talking for a lot longer than our usual session time. I would definitely recommend this for any book clubs that are reading the book.

Very useful book club kit! It can be of great help for book club organizers and for people who need some challenging questions to help them think "deeper" about the book.
I would add a list of "further reading" ideas at the end - can be books that tackle a similar topic or inspiration materials used by the writer.

This Book Club Kit I really enjoyed. I liked all the questions asked and answered them immediately. I just finished The Midnight Library, so thinking of the answers to the questions added more to the overall love of this book.

Then, to learn about Matt Haig was very intriguing. I did not know he had experienced so much. I also, especially related to the fact that he found a library the best place for the setting of his book. I completely agree.

Excellent Guide. Makes a great book that much better.

Thank you NetGalley, Matt Haig, and Penguin Random House Library Resources.

This is a great snapshot book of reference to the novel of the same name. It poses thought provoking questions, which encourage its users to contemplate their own lives and areas of regret. I especially enjoyed the questions posed to the author at the end. I enjoy understanding where ideas come from and the reasoning behind aspects of the book. After reading and reviewing this book I shall be purchasing the novel as this publication has piqued my interest and I shall be using the questions within it, to find my own internalised regrets and possible outcomes. Very well written, easy to understand and a wonderful guide to self knowledge. I highly recommend this publication.

I received this Book Club Kit from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

I think the kit was great. It was very colorful and had great questions and info.

This book club kit contains 8 discussion questions. The questions lean towards being personal side so safety for self-disclosure is necessary for these. I think this could really enhance a book club meeting and open up meaningful dialogue.

Midnight Library was my book club's selection in December, and we had such a fantastic discussion because there was just so much to talk about. That said, I would have loved having these 8 questions plus the conversation with the author to reflect upon. It's always fascinating to learn a little about the author's perspective. It was interesting that he pointed out he's never written from a woman's vantage point before, because it seemed very natural as a reader. I see that NetGalley classifies this book as "women's fiction" and I'm wondering why that is- does it become "women's fiction" solely because the main character/narrator is female? That would be another interesting discussion topic :)
