Hello [**bibliophiles**](https://imgur.com/a/dXfHeJE) of r/bangtan!

Here’s a little reminder to [***come back to us***](https://imgur.com/a/muqt6ac) next week for the discussion of our May Books with Luv pick. We’ll be diving deep into the myriad of choices we could have made in our lives and how serendipitous it is that Namjoon’s music video happens to echo this.

## Discussion on ‘The Midnight Library’ starts on May 20th

Looking forward to chatting with you all next week!

*Below is a discussion guide. Some book-specific questions and other sharing suggestions!*

* What were some of the ideas or instances that you liked from The Midnight Library?
* Upon walking into The Midnight Library and finding out what it is and how it works, Mrs. Elm asks Nora what she would have done differently to address her regrets. Is this something you have thought about as well?
* No matter the reality, Nora realizes that the good also comes with the bad. What is the author trying to tell us?
* What do you think were Nora’s worst and best plots?
* I couldn’t **not** ask this question – did reading this book affect you in any way when you watched the music video for *Come Back To Me*? Did it give you a different perspective?
* In both the book and the music video, there is a guiding figure who helps the protagonist come to terms with and accept themselves for who they are. What are your thoughts on this?

# The Midnight Library by Matt Haig

When Nora Seed finds herself in the Midnight Library, she has a chance to make things right. Up until now, her life has been full of misery and regret. She feels she has let everyone down, including herself. But things are about to change. A book on the many lives a person could have led, Namjoon was seen recommending this book in [**In the Soop Season 2**](https://x.com/JooniesLibrary/status/1449378038332940291).
