This Month’s Pick: The Midnight Library by Matt Haig
Join us next month as we step into The Midnight Library – a place between life and death, where every book offers a glimpse into a life you could have lived.
Matt Haig’s bestselling novel is a moving blend of fantasy, philosophy, and mental health reflection. Through the story of Nora Seed, we explore the infinite possibilities of “what if” - and what truly makes life worth living.
✨ In our discussion, we’ll explore:
– Regret, choice, and the pressure of perfection
– The quiet beauty of the everyday
– Mental health, depression, and healing through perspective
– How fiction can help us reimagine our own lives
Whether you're into parallel lives or just need a reminder that your life matters, this one promises depth, heart, and hope.
About the Author:
Matt Haig is a British author known for blending emotional insight with imaginative storytelling. After publicly sharing his journey through depression, his books - both fiction and nonfiction - have become beacons of empathy, including Reasons to Stay Alive, How to Stop Time, and The Midnight Library.
Why Read It?
The Midnight Library is a heartfelt invitation to re-evaluate our regrets and appreciate the lives we’re already living. With its dreamy concept and deeply human message, this book doesn’t just ask “What if?” - it reminds us that maybe, just maybe, we’re already enough.
