Midnight Library by Matt Haig

Join us at Keys’ Meads on the 4th Tuesday of the month. Borrow the book from the Key Largo Library. Drinks are available for purchase.

“Between life and death there is a library, and within that library, the shelves go on forever. Every book provides a chance to try another life you could have lived. To see how things would be if you had made other choices… Would you have done anything different, if you had the chance to undo your regrets?’ … 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? In The Midnight Library, Matt Haig’s enchanting new novel, Nora Seed finds herself faced with this decision. Faced with the possibility of changing her life for a new one, following a different career, undoing old breakups, realizing her dreams of becoming a glaciologist; 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”–Provided by publisher.

Big Pine Library Book Club @ Big Pine Library

The Big Pine Book Lovers Book Club invites you to their next monthly meeting on Saturday, December 16th to discuss Lessons in Chemistry by Bonnie Garmus. Chemist Elizabeth Zott is not your average woman. Life is unpredictable. Which is why she finds herself not only a single mother, but the reluctant star of America’s most beloved cooking show Supper at Six. Elizabeth’s unusual approach to cooking (“combine one tablespoon acetic acid with a pinch of sodium chloride”) proves revolutionary. But as her following grows, not everyone is happy. Because as it turns out, Elizabeth Zott isn’t just teaching women to cook. She’s daring them to change the status quo.

All are welcome to attend the discussion. For more information please contact BPKLibraryfriends@gmail.com
