January’s Book Club Selection: The Midnight Library

From the Publisher:
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.

Join us in our inaugural virtual book club series! Our focus is on books that make us think about life’s priorities. So much of the past couple of years has been about reprioritizing—work, family, friends, ourselves. What lessons have we learned? What lessons are left for us to take away? The selections of this series will be a mixture of fiction, non-fiction, biography, and poetry.

Our first title of the series is Matt Haig’s novel, The Midnight Library. Book Club meets monthly via Zoom. Sign up here, and we’ll send you a meeting link so you can join in on the book club fun!
