The midnight library
by Matt Haig | Buy this book
A great journey through the character's life, or rather, possible lives, as she contemplates all the what ifs. Touches on mental health but leaves you with hope.

Philr (Whitehaven)

53 year old widower who has always loved reading since an early age. Never joined a book club bit feel it might be the right time as I've never talked about my thoughts on a book to anyone. Historical fiction, classics, Stephen King, John Connolly etc, etc, probably prepared to read anything if it provokes discussion!

Paul (Grange-over-Sands)

I am an author and also avid reader of fiction of pretty much any genre. I live in Grange-over-Sands, Cumbria. Being honest, I am mostly looking for opportunities to join in with book groups if they want to discuss my debut novel - Joe with an E - which I think has lots of interesting themes to discuss around family, identity and gender-identity.

Lee (Penrith)

Hi, I'm Lee, I live and work in Penrith. I've always loved reading, everything from Jackie Collins to Dostoevsky, (tho if I'm honest probably the former more!) At the moment I'm on with Peter May as his books are set in one of my favourite places - the Hebrides. I used to be in a book club at work years ago and really like sharing thoughts.

Lee recommends:

Lucy (Whitehaven)

Hi there! I'm just about to turn 28 years old (I'm a true virgo). I love reading and would love to find a local book club. I'm quite open to genre's, I'll typically read anything that's good! But I do tend to gravitate to fantasy and contemporary fiction, as well as regularly enjoying memoirs and classical literature. I currently live in Egremont but would be willing to travel.
