![]() ![]() And so like there’s one life she goes to and someone very important to her they’re no longer living in that life because of her decisions.Īnd so she’s like, no, you know, this life is perfect, but I don’t want to live in a world without them. Like she just, you know and she figures out that there’s a reason for her decisions because in some of the lives, her choices affect other people who she cares about. And so she figures that out as she goes along, trying out these different lives and some are like really amazing. Like the two will not exist without the other. Cause she suffers from depression and anxiety.Īnd so it was just really neat to see her, like basically she figures out that you can’t have happiness without unhappiness. And slowly throughout the book, it was really fun to walk along her journey with her mental health. She just does all these different things. In another, she becomes an Olympic swimmer. So as the summary said, she goes and sees, well, what would, what would my life have been like if I had pursued glaciology?Īnd so she goes to that life and she almost gets killed by a polar bear. And if you don’t like it, you can come back and pick another life. If you like that life, you can stay there. If you want, you can go in, pick a book, read it. Even if it’s a decision of what time you eat your lunch, you know, there are just so many different lives.Īnd so she’s like, pick a new life. ![]() And there’s just an infinite amount of them because every day we make so many little decisions. And there’s a librarian in there, and the librarian tells her all of these books are different lives you could have had. She’s very confused and, you know, lost and scared. Then she wakes up and she’s in this library and it’s full of books and none of the books have titles on the spines. And so she makes a decision to end her life. So Nora, the main character, at the very beginning of the book, attempts to end her life after she just has a really bad day. So if you are prone to being triggered or anything like that, don’t want to hear that, you know, you may want to mute or skip ahead as I go into detail. And so like, you know, it was just so good and like it shines a light on mental illness and it just…It’s just really, really good.Īnd so just to go into a little more detail, and before I do that, I do just want to say this book does talk about some sensitive subjects. So that book made the list of “books I wish I had written”. It’s almost like, Oh, I wish I had wrote this. If a book just really touches me and I just really enjoy it, I will say, man, I wish I had written this book because that is how close I feel to this book. It’s just really, really, really good and a fun fact about myself. Shayna: So this book, if you want to read a book to feel all the feelings I highly recommend reading this book. Laura: What an interesting concept for a book. 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. Nora Seed finds herself faced with this decision, faced with the possibility of changing her life for a new one, following a different career, un-doing old breakups, realizing her dreams of becoming a glaciologist or a professional Olympic swimmer. 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? 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. Somewhere out beyond the edge of the universe, there is a library that contains an infinite number of books.Įach one, the story of another reality. ![]() And I’ll just jump right into the summary. So my first book is The Midnight Library by Matt Haig. And I’m like, I have to add that to the list. So this book it, wasn’t originally part of my top 2020, but then I read it.
