I recently read The Midnight Library and found the discussion questions thought-provoking. I also really appreciated that the author, Matt Haig answered the discussion questions too. He was open and honest about his personal struggles with mental health.

Such an amazing, enlightening book! One that teaches you a lesson on life and regret, making the best out of the life you have now, and living life for you and not for anyone else! Loved this book! "The only way to learn is to live."
The book club kit helps you dive further into each topic touched on in this book, and makes you think about and question more in depth. Because the book itself is so complex and well-structured, each opinion and viewpoint will be different, and that helps open up very interesting topics and discussion (prompted by the discussion questions provided).
The Midnight Library is one of my favorite books, one that I have read more than once, and I'm so happy I found this book club kit!

The Midnight Library is a magic ride through some tough topics. The concept of the library where you can see the millions of ways your life could have played out seems like something everyone would love to visit. The story was moving, the ending was fantastic, and the heavier topics covered in the book were talked about with grace.

Nice questions to discuss with my book club - we’ll definitely apply them.
The prompts give you additional context on how to think about scenes.

Extremely helpful for new book clubs, will definitely use this for if the midnight library is a book we read in my bookclub!

This book started off a bit rocky but the end result was just beautiful. I really enjoyed this book. It was well written, very descript, and you really felt what Nora felt.

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.

Have read book and plan to put it up for next bookclub pick. Feel there are many parts conducive to form many different reactions from different opinions.

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.
