The dazzling reader-favorite about the choices that go into a life well lived. Don’t miss Matt Haig’s latest New York Times bestseller, The Midnight Train, available now

Somewhere out beyond the edge of the universe there is a library that contains an infinite number of books, each one the story of another reality. One tells the story of your life as it is, along with another book for the other life you could have lived if you had made a different choice at any point in your life. While we all wonder how our lives might have been, what if you had the chance to go to the library and see for yourself? Would any of these other lives truly be better?

In The Midnight Library, Matt Haig's enchanting blockbuster novel, Nora Seed finds herself faced with this decision. Faced with the possibility of changing her life for a new one, following a different career, undoing old breakups, realizing her dreams of becoming a glaciologist; she must search within herself as she travels through the Midnight Library to decide what is truly fulfilling in life, and what makes it worth living in the first place.

New Top 10 Reads Addition...

Every year I read or listen to 75-120 books. I love a lot of different genres and try to expand to new unread authors and genres as much as I can. About 1-2 times a year I will come across a book that really sticks with me and makes me look at the world with different eyes or a new perspective; this is one of those stories.

The narrator’s voice was magical and worked perfectly for the main character. I’d almost recommend it on that alone, except that this story also has a plot line and message that resonates. The Midnight Library will stay with me for a very long time and if the message starts to get fuzzy in my memory, I’ll ‘pull it off the shelf’ and listen to it again.

Absolutely, I recommend this book for anyone that has ever wondered about the purpose of their life. Enjoy.

LITERALLY TRANSCENDENT!!!!

This is quite simply a wonderful novel. It delves into metaphysical concepts while keeping the storyline tight. It even sticks the landing! The characters and concepts are equally engrossing. The narration is so good that forgot that there even was one, for a time it truly seemed that the characters were speaking to me.

This book has set the bar for my 2022reading adventures.

Full of substance. Thought provoking. Touching. Captivating. I just loved loved loved it! Thank you for taking me along on this perspective shifting adventure, Matt Haig. Highly recommend.

Quantum Mechanics for Navel Gazers

The narrator is terrific. Overall, the story was pretty good but I found myself skipping ahead from time to time, just to get past labored descriptions.

Very nice.

This booked is for those of us that are overthinkers and have never ending inner monologues

I loved this book. So well written. Filled with deep thoughts surrounded by the chaos of life. I would recommend this book to anyone, but especially those of us that find ourself overthinking our lives and those thoughts inevitabley turning sour when thinking on our regrets. Perception really is so important. I hope I read this book again when I need that reminder or when I am feeling trapped in my own mind.
