I really like book club kits and this one is no exception. The questions are well thought out and supplement the well-crafted book. I follow the author on Instagram and appreciate the interview with him to go deeper into the story. I think the kit is well designed, fits perfectly with the design and theme of the book, and is a really effective tool for book club discussions!

The Midnight Library is an excellent book that can leave a reader a lot to think about. This companion guide both offers some defined questions to ponder, and offers more insight from the author. I found it a very helpful guide for capping off my experience with a thought provoking novel.

Thank you NetGalley and the publisher for the opportunity to review this resource.

This is the usual sort of material you’d find in the back of a trade paperback. Suggested discussion questions and an interview with the author. Read prior to my own book club and found that we did respond to a couple of the questions and interview items. Covid has put a damper on our discussions lately and this was a useful aid especially in light of our virtual meetings and pandemic fatigue.

Matt Haig knows how to keep the balance when writing fiction and non-fiction. This kit is quite helpful for book clubs. Also the the interview was very interesting.

I coordinate multiple book clubs and I love when books have kits or even discussion questions and/or reading guides. Yes, as readers we can come up with our own questions, but these kinds of documents can provide additional inspiration.

This is a book club guide, not the actual book. It has some useful discussion items and questions. Could be used if your book club is reading The Midnight Library. Always nice to get perspective from the author.

This book club guide was provided as an eARC by Netgalley and the publisher.

The book club kit for The Midnight Library is sure to create insightful discussion and commentary for any book club. It has clear questions meant to lead readers further into the text and promote deeper understanding. Like all the other book club kits, this is sure to become a valuable resource for any group looking to partake in a larger discussion.

This Book Club Kit is supposed to support discussions among readers of the book / a book club discussing the book. The questions are definitely great, they approach different aspects and parts of the book that are greatly interesting to cover in a book club (I am currently discussing it within my club and it gave us great in-depths conversations so far). I would say, however, they are not conversation starter questions.

I also enjoyed the short interview with Matt Haig that can also be used for discussions (e.g. if the portrayal of Nora was done in a clichée way through male perspective or not, how depression influenced the plot etc.).

Having already read this with a few people over Instagram I cannot wait to have these important discussions that this book club kit instigates.
The premise of mental health, how to deal with situational depression by an author who himself is a survivor is vastly important to have in literature. Thank you for this amazing collection and the interview with Matt Haig was a nice surprise!

So glad I found this book club guide right before our book club meeting.! We really enjoyed the thoughtful questions and detailed answers from the author. I also really liked reading the “about the author” section and didn’t realize it was missing from the original text!

Some of these discussion questions are great for a book club setting, although some of them feel like non starters for conversation. I'll be using some of them when our book club meets this month to discuss The Midnight Library. It was also interesting that the About the Author section was contained in this rather than with the original printing of the book. I was shocked to see that my copy of The Midnight Library had no About the Author or Acknowledgements sections, when I really needed some context as to why the author would write this story.

This was the first time doing a book club kit and it was a lot of fun! The book was very enjoyable and I highly recommend it but if you don't want to move on just yet, definitely try the book club kit!

Love these book club questions and the discussion with the author. Can’t wait to use it for my book club!

“Between life and death there is a library. And within that library, the shelves go on forever. Every book provides a chance to try another life you could have lived. To see how things would be different if you had made other choices … would you have done anything different if you had the chance to undo your regrets?”

Wow, this book hit me right in the feels. I went into this one blind and was taken on such a beautiful, thought-provoking ride.

Nora seed appears to be at a crossroads in her life. Her cat has passed away, she lost her job, and doesn’t have anyone in her life, not e even family, that care about her. She gives up and begins the countdown to her death, but instead she finds herself in The Midnight Library. A place between life and death where you can view other lives you could have lived how do you made different choices. There are an infinite number of lives where even the smallest of decisions can make a massive impact.

I absolutely loved Nora Seed and felt quite a connection to her and couldn’t wait to see where her experience in the midnight library took her. My experience with the midnight library was joyful, emotional, and brought on a lot of self reflection. Matt Haig writes so smoothly and brings Nora’s story to life in such a relatable and raw way. This book may be magical but also a trigger warning as it touches on suicide.

The Midnight Library is a wonderful diversion from the wild world we live in but is a great reminder for you to enjoy every moment and that there is no better time than the present.

This review is a bit different I read and loved The Midnight Library but this review covers the book club companion. I am in two in person book clubs and we both groups are read this book. I read through this before group and used the questions to guide our discussion. I thought this was a great way to kick off our discussion and was well done.

Thanks to NetGalley for the Book Club Kit for The Midnight Library in exchange for my review.

I adore this book, and have been trying to get my family to read it. The insightful questions paired with wonderful answers by Matt Haig are a great resource for book clubs, and I think they help to make The Midnight Library a perfect choice for your next book club pick!

this appeared on netgalley at the perfect time - coincidentally right when we decided to read the midnight library for book club. this was super fun to guide our book club, thoughtful questions and loved the answers from Matt Haig

Oh my. What an amazing book. Love the story and the writing style. Have purchased for myself, and a couple for gifts. Highly recommend

I'm obviously stupid and didn't know what a book club kit was. All the same, this was fantastic. Amazing ideas and questions for discussion.

Provides great discussion ideas for a book club. Over all a good resource for anyone looking to provoke deeper thought and exploration of meaning.
