I saw this information book on the Netgalley book list and I was super excited. It isn’t the actual book and that was a bit disappointing but this is specified in the info so that is ok and should not reflect negativily in any way shape or form this review. For what it is it‘s a great little Ressource book. It is very informative and helpful. I thoroughly enjoyed this small introduction to the Midnight Library. I would recommend this book to anyone looking to read the actual book who needs a small introduction.
Unfortunately I thought this was the actual book of "The Midnight Library." I'm waiting for that to come in from the library, and then I will read this. I've heard really good things about the novel, and am excited to read it! I wish there were an "N/A" rating but am giving this a neutral 3.
Much as you would expect from a Book Club Kit, a handy little guide, helpful for both individual readers and book groups alike.
This was an excellent resource to use at our bookclub meeting where we discussed The Midnight Library. We had to meet over zoom this month so it was. a nice, colorful, visually appealing document. The discussion questions included in this guide lead to some awesome discussion in our group.
This Club Kit offers fantastic questions that get book club discussion rolling. Not only do they make you question passages, quotes, and storyline, but it directs each person to be introspective into their own thoughts and personal lives. I love that it addresses emotions, actions, regrets and outlook as well as alternate versions of you. The reader will also appreciate Matt Haig's interview on this novel as well as his others books. I love that they address that it is written from a female perspective, which deviates from his norm. Fantasy and reality come into play as well as his own regrets in life. Throughout it all, books, libraries and knowledge are at the forefront to lead the reader on. Great resource for book clubs to dive in deeper. I will say that the formatting works best on a computer or the website, It does not translate well into Kindle as it gets broken up into small bits.
Great Book Club Kit! I love downloading the book club kit companions for my books, being head of a book club, it makes my job easier to have this, before I type and print out pages of our discussion topics and questions. The book club kit helps a lot in guiding discussion, too. The Midnight Library Book Club Kit also contains an interview with the author Matt Haig, I really enjoyed reading about him, his life, and his thoughts.
This book club kit contained 8 questions that were a good mix of reflecting on readers' own lives and analyzing the text. Though I did not ask these questions in a book club, I did think they were wonderful questions that paired well with the text. The book club kit also contained a Q&A section with author Matt Haig. There was a question there that referred directly to the "current moment" (aka COVID times), which makes sense in our current climate, but may not be as relatable/understood if used in the future (as the question doesn't specify what "our current moment" is).
The Midnight Library Book Club Kit was an excellent accompaniment to the book itself. After thoroughly enjoying reading The Midnight Library, it was interesting to learn about the author, Matt Haig. I would highly recommend the discussion questions to anyone reading the book in their book club. Thankful for the author and publisher for providing book club kits available for readers.

I am only reading the Book Club Kit - basically the discussion question, so my review would be based on this. Frankly speaking, I found the discussion questions are a bit lengthy as it describes the situation thoroughly before imposing the real question. Supposedly, there is no problem with this - yet, due to the descriptive questions, I found the urge of having to submit to a specific kind of answer too rather than a wider spectrum of subjective answers.
Depending on the target audience, which I presumed this would be to middle schooler (as it is too descriptive) a change would be better, I presume.
I loved this book so much that I made my book club gals read it with for our April selection and tonight we are using this blessed red our eyes to enhance our discussion. I found it to be full of insight into the author’s process and the questions will help me facilitate our talk in a way that I might not otherwise be able to do since I so deeply connected with the main character, Nora, and am finding it a bit difficult to find words for the depth of emotion the book stirred in me. Thank you so much to the publisher and author for making club kits such as this for The Midnight Library available to us!!
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!
This was my first book by this author, It was pretty enjoyable. I would give this book a 3.5 star rating! It was a pretty Quick and easy read!
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.
Great help to knowing this book. I will be ordering this book to help me through it. Can’t wait to read it
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 was a very helpful book club guide. The questions were interesting and sparked great discussion.
This is an excellent book club kit that I would recommend for any book club. The discussion questions are great, and any group would benefit from them.
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.
