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.

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 wasnt really satisfied as it was a book club kit. Noth withstanding I will surely be picking up the physical book for the premise is interesting and I wuld like to read it at liesure. The book has been released and is doing fairly well. The populatiry speaks for itself. Will surely be penning a more detailed review soon

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 :)
