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.
This a helpful addition to any book club when reading The Midnight Library. Discussion questions are thorough for book club members to join the conversation! The additional conversation with the author was interesting to read, as well.
Book Club Kit: The Midnight Library is a helpful companion piece to complement your next book club meeting.
Thought-provoking questions guide members to explore this title even more.
Author, Matt Haig, is featured with a Q and A that will bring even more insight and talking points to your next club meeting whether it's in-person or virtual.
A great addition to your The Midnight Library discussion!
This will be a great resource for my book club, when we discuss Midnight Library next month. Thanks to the publisher for a copy of this book club guide in exchange for my honest opinions.
This is misleading if you don’t pay attention makes you think you requesting the book and not the book club item
I got this by mistake thinking it was the actual book. I haven’t read the book, so I am unable to rate this resource.
This is a nice resource for such an unusual book. The story has so many aspects, like the philosophical one, that a good guide really helps absorb what you just read. I also enjoyed the interview with the author. It's always nice to see what inspired their story.
I didn't realize that this kit doesn't include actual book. My bad!
Though nice collection of resources for book club discussions.
Very unusual story. I really enjoyed it. From a magical librarian Nora is able to ‘see‘ different lives of herself. Very unusual book for me to read. #sciencefiction. #fantasy. #goodreads #netgalley
These questions were great for a book club. They were very insightful and would absolutely bring for a rich discussion.
I loved reading the interview with the author. For me it is always so interesting to know what influences the story.
The discussion questions were really great and this would be a great book club read.
