I was curious to see what a book club resource would be for a novel like The Midnight Library, and I was happy with the result. It encouraged deeper contemplation and good discussion about the novel and had some topics that would be good conversation starters in a book club environment. One of the things that has always been difficult for me with attending book clubs is that it is sometimes difficult to get started on the discussion. I am glad to see publishers putting together resources like this!

Extra information on The Midnight Library. This is an interview with the author. I feel like this should be available on an author's website. The book club discussion questions are helpful.

I want not sent this book and would like it off my shelf. I cannot rate this book as I have not had a chance to read it. I would still love to read this book! I was given a book kit. Not sure what that is. Need it off this shelf.

I find this kit very useful for those who have a book club I think it really makes you get more out of the book

I really appreciate that Penguin creates these Book Club guides for many of their titles. While they are also useful to classroom teachers looking for good discussion questions or background/context, they are also a good tool for use with literature circles at the secondary level. Here, they also provide the author’s response to some questions about his larger body of work as well.

I found this to be a great book club motivator! The questions were great and the design of it was also up to standard. Perfect companion to a book club!

Nice and simple book club kit. Enjoyed the discussion questions and interview with the author. Adding something more like printable bookmarks with book quotes on them would be great!

Very brief guide. It only includes author info and discussion questions. I would have liked to see ways to build on the discussion (activities, "read next" suggestions, etc.).

Thank you NetGalley for allowing me to receive this book for an honest review.

I am so glad I received this book. I read so many good reviews and they did not dissapoint.

It makes you sit and think about what you would do if you were Nora. The decisions that need to be made, the regrets and the second guesses.

Nora decided she wanted to die. She thought death was the best decision. But then between life and death she confronted with the Midnight Library. There she is given an option to confront her regrets and live different lives based on new choices. But did she make the right decision. Was her old life really that bad or was her new life better???

I loved this book! So there are an unlimited amount of books in the library and you can pick whatever book you decide on and it takes you to that universe. Perhaps you regretted turning down a marriage proposal so you pick that book and it sends you into what your life would be if you had married that person. The main character, Nora, is relatable and learns so much from being in the library. It was a quick read that was different from my typical genres, but was very enjoyable and made me want to read more from Haig. Don't let the Library in the title fool you, this is more than a library, it tells the story of parallel universes and gives life to what everyone would like to see if they had done this rather than that.

As a fan of The Midnight Library, I really enjoyed delving into the origins of its inspiration. I think Matt Haig is just an amazing author and overall brilliant. The book club guide provided thought-provoking questions and captivating feedback from the author. I felt it was so valuable getting insights into his thoughts. This was my first time using a Kit like this, and I loved it.

Great book to help with book club. This book definitely gets you thinking and I’m so thankful for so many things! Such a great read and a great perspective on life and your thoughts. This kit helped us to analyze the book and helped us to really dissect it and keep the conversations flowing.

I received a free copy of this book in exchange for my honest review. Thank you the author and NetGalley.

I was really loving this book until the ending which sadly just feel a little flat for me. Some readers might enjoy it and others may not, 3.5 stars from me.
