Hello bibliophiles of r/bangtan!

It has been an insane month but who’s complaining? May has almost passed us by and that means only one thing. Jin is almost home! We’re at D-23 days so well done, army spouses! But before that, *RPWP drops on 24 May* so let’s gear up to support our dear bookworm!

How are you all finding the time to read our [**May book**](https://imgur.com/a/NxJoHYL) on top of everything that’s happening? It’s a feat and the dedication is real! Having said that, I know we’re all itching to discuss The Midnight Library so let’s get to it!

# **’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).

* 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?

It’s always so much fun chatting with all of you and we’ll be sure to be back for the next *Books With Luv* selection. But before we head to that, we’d like to let y’all know that we’ll be taking a break for the month of June. We’ve not had any announcements yet but with Jin returning and Festa in June, we thought it might be a good time for a breather. Fret not and look forward to July!

If you have any questions or concerns regarding the book or the thread, feel free to tag me or any of the mods or [**BWL Volunteers**](https://media.giphy.com/media/v1.Y2lkPTc5MGI3NjExaDkwZjIyemM2cmIydm5wMHg0cndnajU3N3ZieTZvNTQ4czgxMXc5ZyZlcD12MV9pbnRlcm5hbF9naWZfYnlfaWQmY3Q9Zw/ZBoHqyxmhv85ff3qOI/giphy.gif).
