Federal Way Book Club

We're a friendly group of people who like to discuss books in a relaxed atmosphere while eating food. We read both fiction and nonfiction and variety is encouraged. Most of us joined this group to read books we might not have otherwise picked up by ourselves (and to meet people of course!). We meet in person, and therefore can only accept members who live in the Seattle/Tacoma area.

Books for Brats

This is a book club for women in their 20s in the San Diego area. The purpose of this book club is to make friends and chat about our latest reads.

The Midnight Library: A GMA Book Club Pick: A Novel

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?

Imagine, while on the verge of death, you find yourself in a library. In this library, you'll find books with lives that could have been. This was the situation that Nora found herself in.

I actually enjoyed it. I was so immersed in her lives that I lost myself in them. The concept was interesting and I couldn't wait to find out which life she chose in the end! There were also a lot of meaningful quotes along the way, and I really appreciated them, because they made me think about my own life. This may not be what some are looking for, a self-help book in fiction, however.

Trigger warning for suicide. I'm not too sure if the author handled it well, but one should always use discretion when reading books such as this.

This book hit me at exactly the right time. Any other time would’ve been good too, though. Thank you to the author.

Book started a little slow for me- was unsure how into it I was going to be; boy was I wrong. This book twists your prospective on everyday life helping you see beauty in the sometimes mundane mess.
