The Midnight Library: A GMA Book Club Pick: A Novel (The Midnight World)
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?

Whatâs it about?
When Nora Seed decides she no longer wants to live anymore she finds herself suddenly thrust into "The Midnight Libraryâ. The Midnight Library is a place where she hovers between life and death. Here she can choose alternative lives to address her many regrets. But what life (or death) will Nora ultimately choose?
What did it make me think about?
This story certainly made the point that all our choices (small and large) create our path in life.
Should I read it?
This book was much like the most comfortable pair of shoes you own- just so easy to slip into. My assumption is that this book will be a favorite too many- and offensive too few. I liked the book and enjoyed taking a break from so many books lately that are trying to convince me of a viewpoint. I would recommend this one- especially if you are ready for a break from heavy reads.

To see how things would be different if you had made other choices⌠Would you have done anything different, if you had the chance to undo your regrets?â â
