This is a book club kit which I didn’t realize when I agreed to read it so I’m giving a neutral rating. Other than that, the kit was quite helpful to be honest.

I won’t share my review anywhere rather than the NetGalley's official site since it’s a book club kit.

I really enjoyed this Book Club kit.
I read the book a few months ago and when I was done, I was definitely asking myself some of the questions that were in this kit! The questions are varied and very reflective. It was also nice to read more about Matt Haig’s thought process for the book. I would have loved a few more questions, though!

Thank you to Net Galley and Penguin Random House Library for making an E-ARC available for this kit!

Note that this review is for the Book Club Kit not the full book. That having been said, after reading this kit, I immediately requested the book from my library. It looks quite intriguing.

This guide is helpful for any reader including those who are not in book clubs. There is information about the book and author, an interview and many good questions to ponder.

Many thanks to NetGalley and Penguin Random House Library Resources for this title. All opinions are my own.

The discussion questions were excellent and insightful. They helped us to dive deeper into the novel. I loved the interview with Matt Haig. Getting to see where he came up with the idea for this great story and how he related to his own story and characters

Thought provoking, heart breaking but beautiful and a reminder to never give up hope!
Not what I was expecting but a whirlwind all the same.

Life is gray and full of regrets for Nora Seed when she stumbles into the Midnight Library: a place on the edge of consciousness where you can check out books about your life, or rather variations of it. As Nora samples alternate realities, she is faced with the truth about what her life could have been and a decision to be made about what it should be now.
The Midnight Library is the perfect night time read to get your imagination primed for sweet dreams while still leaving you wanting to find out what happens on the next page.

Really enjoyed the questions that are included at the end of the book as well as the interview. I am in a book club currently and I think I will mention this book and see if anyone is interested. I think the questions and other info could lead to some good discussion. The story is also fun and engaging, I think those in my book club may enjoy it.

I ran a small book club for a while and having these kits is so helpful! We did weekly discussions so I could definitely use some more ideas for questions for those discussions. Although I did thoroughly enjoy the behind the scenes with the author!

Very enjoyable read! I absolutely loved the idea of the Midnight Library and the librarian herself. So much so that I just had to reach out to my childhood librarian.. and now I work at a library!

Anyways, the idea of the Midnight Library and each of the books (no spoilers) is fantastic. I love the different avenues the main character takes. The main character was a bit annoying at times, I'm not sure exactly why I disliked her. She wasn't awful, just not enjoyable. I did like where she ended up in the end, it gave closure.

This is a must have kit for all your book club needs! Thought provoking, interesting discussion questions to help lead any book club featuring The Midnight Library novel. This is a great guide for everyone that needs a little guidance when leading a book club.

I would like to thank Netgalley, and the publisher for an advanced reading copy of this book club kit in exchange for an honest review.

Book Club Kit: The Midnight Library by Matt Haig is a resource for interested book clubs in reading the popular 2020 novel. Comprising two sections, the first is a series of questions to generate a discussion of content and personal reflection on the novel. The second half is a conversation with Matt Haig, answering questions in regard to the book and revealing some interesting antidotes. The eight discussion starters are somewhat basic but appropriate enough, given the contents of the book. Though only a small novella, it is a helpful accompaniment with a three star rating. With thanks to Penguin Random House Library Resources and the author, for an uncorrected advanced reader copy for review purposes. As always, the opinions herein are totally my own and freely given.

This was just not what I expected.
A few extra information and some questions to discuss - I have to admit, I somehow expected something more.

This book club kit includes 8 discussion questions and an interview with the author Matt Haig.

The questions mainly focus on self-reflection and trying to relate your life situations to the book. I thought some questions were a little too personal to be discussed in a book club. Questions can easily be answered or thought about by oneself.

The interview mainly talks about how the book came to be and how or why did the author make certain choices.

It was fun and engaging, the guides as well as the background of the book is very interesting. It helps me become more interested in reading the book itself

Thank you to NetGalley and Penguin Random House Library Resources for this Book Club Kit.

This is a brilliant resource for book clubs and general discussions about Nora's experiences in the Midnight Library, which I found to be a poignant read around mental health.

I especially enjoyed reading the interview with Matt Haig and learning about his own experiences with mental health and who he incorporates this into his works.

This is such a fun, engaging book club kit! I love reading interviews with authors, and hearing about what inspired them to write their novel. The included discussion questions are perfect for encouraging deeper exploration of the book's characters and themes, the kit is easily printable/accessible and I loved how Netgalley began including on their sites. Will definitely use in the near future with my very own book club.
