I have read the Midnight Library and I loved it. It's even better now that we have this very nice book club tool to discuss this awesome book! I wish that it's a bit longer but I guess this is enough to discuss in the group.

This is kind of lacking for what itโ€™s supposed to be. I thought there would be more to it.
However the discussion questions were good prompts, so over all Iโ€™d say itโ€™s okay.

As far as book kits go, this one is disappointing. It contains discussion questions and an author interview, but none of the other goodies I've come to expect. I still appreciate the resource though!

๐ŸŒŒโœจ Diving into "The Midnight Library": Where Choices Have Their Payoffs โœจ๐Ÿ“š

"Regrets and choices are intertwined threads in the fabric of life." ๐ŸŒŸ๐Ÿƒ

๐Ÿ“– "The Midnight Library" by Matt Haig is a captivating journey through the corridors of what-ifs and could-have-beens. As I turned its pages, I found myself pondering the profound truth that choices truly have their payoffs.

Nora Seed's story is a mirror reflecting our own moments of doubt and wonder about the paths not taken. ๐ŸŒ โœจ Stepping into the Midnight Library, she explores lives she could have led, each with its own set of decisions, outcomes, and lessons. Through Nora's eyes, we witness the intricate dance between dreams and reality, and the realization that our choices shape our world.

๐Ÿ’ญ This novel isn't just a whimsical escape; it's a reflection on life's ebbs and flows. It reminds us that while regrets are part of being human, they don't define us. Rather, they propel us forward to understand what truly matters. "The Midnight Library" beautifully illustrates that even in the vast expanse of parallel lives, one can discover the power of now.

๐ŸŒŒ So, here's to embracing our choices, celebrating our uniqueness, and recognizing that every path we take contributes to the masterpiece of our existence. Whether in the realm of fiction or reality, the concept remains: choices have their payoffs.

Having read some of Matt Haig's nonfiction works, I loved the insight in some of the discussion questions regarding some more personal experiences. Additionally, I thought the author interview provided some great context to so of the themes featured in The Midnight Library that some readers may not have been aware of prior.

An exquisite book that is perfect for book clubs. I will share this with our adult book club - they'll appreciate having a resource to guide discussion.

This book was fantastic. I loved the plot, the flow of writing, the element of magic, the overarching feeling of sadness. Most of all I loved how it made me think deeply. I canโ€™t compare this book to anything Iโ€™ve read before. Itโ€™s a unique piece of work. This would make a wonderful book club pick - it leaves room for lots of conversation and topics.

Thanks to the author, Penguin Random House Samplers and NetGalley for an e-book in exchange for my honest review.

Thank you for accepting my request for this book ! I reviewed it on Goodreads. 3.5 star rating. I hated that i wasnโ€™t able to connect with the characters that well

Good book. Good add on for reading. I accidently asked for this one so I had to purchase the book to go along with it. Glad I did. If I were rating the book itself, the rating would be higher.

I read this book over a year ago and loved it! So obviously when I found out there was a book club kit I had to get it! This book club kit is perfect for having a nice light hearted conversation with book club. They complement the book really well. Canโ€™t wait to use this for my book club soon.

When identifying a book for a club the kits and guides are the most important part to a stimulating, productive conversation. The discussion questions provided allow for a wide range of conversation depths. From some surface level get-to-know-you questions, to those that make you internally reflect, I think this kit is suitable for any book club. Although, it should be noted this feels to be intended for a more lighthearted feel with fun conversations. More advanced book clubs may be left wanting a bit more debate and inquisitive questions to finish with. Overall, I enjoyed the variety and hope to see this book and kit talked about more often for book club recommendations.

The Book Club Kit for THE MIDNIGHT LIBRARY made me swoon! The design is gorgeous, complete with discussion questions and a conversation with the author. A Book Club must-have!

I wasn't sure about this book at first. It's not normally a story line I go for. So many people I know raved I decided to give it a go. This book kept my attention. Books with over and over stories same day things just aren't usually for me. The characters are easy to fall in love with and the book isn't too far fetched. It's about what we can change and is it all worth it in the end. I recommend giving this one a try if u have been debating.

My bad I thought this was the actual book but it was not what I wanted. So, I did not finish it. I wish I could tell more about it .I haven't read any book from Matt Haig and was expecting it to be the first one.

I loved this book. I think this Book Club Kit was a great compliment and addition to the mean behind the book. "Between life and death, there is a library, and within that library, the shelves go on for ever." It was also a nice compliment that helped the readers to see the idea behind The Midnight Library and where and how Matt Haig created this incredible story.

Thank you NetGalley, Penguin Random House Library Resources and Matt Haig for the kit!

I expected this to be the actual book, was a me mistake when asking
Itโ€™s basically a 7 pages long interview, with pictures and all. interesting if you want to know more about the insights of the creation of the text: the inspirations, the reason why it was written etc.
