I just reviewed Book Club Kit: The Midnight Library by Matt Haig. #NetGalley
[NetGalley URL] This was great to accompany The Midnight Library. It gave discussion questions to help with a book club, and it opens your mind to possible things you may not have thought of while reading.

This book leaves you thinking, what if? This book felt more like a motivational book than a novel. It really got me to reflect on my life decisions and if I am living life fully or just full of regrets. The book lacked some humor and twists. It was hard to let go of the thought that we already know the ending. It was short and am easy read.

Such a detailed interview with the author and his mindset. Its nice ti get to know how the author got to write The Midnight library and how it became a hit. It was really short, but i enjoyed it so much ♡♡♡

This was a really good addition to the book. The question and the interview, are perfect for the bookclub and for home reading lessons in university. Definitely going to use them with the book.

As a Librarian, I always want to consume any media about a library and The Midnight Library was not exception. The Midnight Library was such a great read and it was so helpful to already have the discussion guide already made for the meeting. I highly recommend The Midnight Library and this Book Club Kit. Matt Haig is such a good author as well.

This was super cool and unique! I highly recommend this! I think most will enjoy this and once you start you won’t want to stop!

I was expecting this to be longer and have more questions but overall they are great questions for a book club. This is a must if you’re going to read the midnight library and love to discuss with others.

This is an outstanding book and these questions are a wonderful resource to discuss the book in more depth. The Q&A with the author is a wonderful addition too.

This was a great discussion tool for our book club! I though the questions promoted thoughtful discussion around mental health.

I personally didn't think this novel was that amazing. It was alright but didn't captivate me. I did like the concept a lot, I just don't think it was executed in the best ways possible. I did think the book club questions were well written and I liked that they were heavily introspective.

This a a short book club guide that features a brief interview with the author and a series of discussion questions designed to stimulate meaningful conversation. This is a great resource for teachers or book club leaders who are planning in person or online events.

This hit me ... HARD!

“It is easy to mourn the lives we aren't living. Easy to wish we'd developed other other talents, said yes to different offers. Easy to wish we'd worked harder, loved better, handled our finances more astutely, been more popular, stayed in the band, gone to Australia, said yes to the coffee or done more bloody yoga.
It takes no effort to miss the friends we didn't make and the work we didn't do the people we didn't do and the people we didn't marry and the children we didn't have. It is not difficult to see yourself through the lens of other people, and to wish you were all the different kaleidoscopic versions of you they wanted you to be. It is easy to regret, and keep regretting, ad infinitum, until our time runs out.
But it is not lives we regret not living that are the real problem. It is the regret itself. It's the regret that makes us shrivel and wither and feel like our own and other people's worst enemy.
We can't tell if any of those other versions would of been better or worse. Those lives are happening, it is true, but you are happening as well, and that is the happening we have to focus on.”

Well I didn't read the fine print, thought this was the book. Will have to read the actual book first. Womp womp

I really connected with this book. I often get lost in the what ifs of my life. As the main character works through the various what if scenarios she imagined all her life, she learns that no version of her life is perfect. In the process she learns about herself and combats her depression and suicidal tendencies.

Not sure if you are supposed to review these Book Club kits or not... The only thing I have to say about this is that the neon greenish yellow writing on the white background in this was painfully hard to read.

Great, thoughtful questions for a group discussion or book club. I always appreciate Q&As with authors and this one is great! The book is on my calendar for an upcoming book club, and I assume these will spark conversation.

The book club kit was incredibly helpful and the tips are just as helpful in creating my own. The information contained within it is useful

This Book club kit is so cool. It´s a great one for the book clubs, with all the discussion questions to help to
discuss about The Midnight Library and a conversation with the author, Matt Haig to get to know a little more about him and his work.
And can we talk about that book cover?!

I recommend

2.5/5
This is a very basic book club kit. It has questions and an interview with the author. Nothing special, I do like how they included a quote from the book but it's a book club thats one of the aspects we are looking at. Wish it had something else recipe, coloring page, activities, something!
