Perfect for book club! Made the book that much better. Highly recommend for book clubs to further dive in

This book club kit have some really great questions for group discussions after reading the book. It includes information about the author and a series of questions to spark conversation. However, for me, it's a pretty basic kit. It has questions and an author interview, but nothing too special. I wish it had more, like bookmarks or fun activities to add some extra excitement!

I thought this book club kit, while short, had some great questions to go over after reading this book as a group. I also really enjoyed the interview with the author to get a better understanding of how the book/story came to be.

Incredibly insightful! I love this guide so much and I cannot wait to meet with my bookclub and use this guide in our discussion. I love the interview with Matt at the end, and the questions gave me food for thought which will be wonderful in a discussion. So well done!

In general, I like questions 2, 4 and 7. Questions 1 and 3 require self-disclosure which not everyone in a book club might be comfortable with especially if they are new to the book club.

Here are questions that came up during our book club meeting that sparked a conversation:
1. When did Nora pivot to wanting to live? When was the turning point for her?
2. Do you think one can have every life you want?
3. What set lives Nora enjoyed apart from those she did not want to be in?
4. What are roadblocks to Nora's happiness
5. Why do you think Nora's in-between was a library?
6. What role do relationships play in Nora's role?

This is a nice addition to a block club intending The Midnight Library. The book. contains information about the author as well as a series of questions to open up a dialogue, or discussion about the book. I will definitely keep those questions in my head as I begin my adventure Reading this book. If I wasn’t interested in it before, I definitely am after reading some of the thought provoking questions.
Downfall is I thought it was the actual book before I started it.

I picked this solely out of curiosity for this "format" of "book club kit". The list of suggested questions is interesting, and it made me want to get the actual novel. But as for this kit, maybe they could enrich it with more information to guide the conversations, especially for newbies at conducting such clubs.

The Midnight Library was one of those books that showed so much promise... and then completely delivered! It's a book I was raving about for days while reading it, I wanted everyone to experience the same content so we could talk about it, tear down the diction and just fully emerce myself in the world that Matt Haig created.

I could so relate with the protagonist in terms of feeling lost, and the hope I felt when she started to want to live, each glimmer of joy in the experienced lives was a glimmer of joy in my life.

Highly recommend this book to anyone wanting to escape - the grass is not always greener...

This is a book club must have.
Super helpful and i will be using this as my book blue reads this book.
Glad to have it as an option.

Thanks to the Matt Haig, Penguin Random House samples and Netgalley for the book club kit in exchange for my honest review.

I downloaded this kit not necessarily for a book club meeting, but for personal use. I wanted to read Midnight Library and thought it might be interesting to read it as if in a book club and ponder possible questions that might arise. This kit was helpful in reaching a deeper and more thoughtful analysis of the story. I appreciated the availability of the club kit.

This was a pretty good straight forward read. It was different from the types of books that I’m used to but I enjoyed it.

Unfortunately, the formatting wasn't good on this guide but from what I could gather...seems like there are some useful questions and content.

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 it’s supposed to be. I thought there would be more to it.
However the discussion questions were good prompts, so over all I’d say it’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!

🌌✨ Diving into "The Midnight Library": Where Choices Have Their Payoffs βœ¨πŸ“š

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

πŸ“– "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. 🌠✨ 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.

πŸ’­ 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.

🌌 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.

I love this book club kit!! I downloaded it in case my book club finally gets around to it, but I also plan to use it for myself whenever I read it. I love that there are interview questions and answers with the author! The questions are also great ones I would have never came up with myself.
