Sinossi
Fra la vita e la morte esiste una biblioteca. Quando Nora Seed fa il suo ingresso nella Biblioteca di mezzanotte, le viene offerta l'occasione di rimediare agli errori commessi. Fino a quel momento, la sua vita è stata un susseguirsi di infelicità e scelte sbagliate. Le sembra di aver deluso le aspettative di tutti, comprese le proprie. Ma le cose stanno per cambiare. Come sarebbe andata la vita di Nora se avesse preso decisioni diverse? I libri sugli scaffali della Biblioteca di mezzanotte hanno il potere di mostrarglielo, proiettando Nora in una versione alternativa della realtà. Insieme all'aiuto di una vecchia amica, può finalmente cancellare ogni suo singolo rimpianto, nel tentativo di costruire la vita perfetta che ha sempre desiderato. Ma le cose non vanno sempre secondo i piani, e presto le sue nuove scelte metteranno in pericolo la sua incolumità e quella della biblioteca. Prima che scada il tempo, Nora deve trovare una risposta alla domanda di tutte le domande: come si può vivere al meglio la propria vita?

"That is just me. I add nothing. I am wallowing in self-pity." No truer words have been said by Nora, the world's largest wet blanket. Woe is her, folks. Nora ends up at the Midnight Library, a place between life and death, because she doesn't want to live anymore. The library is full of books, ea
“The only way to learn is to live” Fuck, this book hit me so hard. I finished this book a few days ago and I haven't been able to stop thinking about it. It has one of my favorite themes or tropes in a book, where we follow a main character who at the beginning of the story is very depressed and poss Leggi tutto
Everybody probably knows the premise of this book by now (I mean this book is everywhere ): a library with an infinite number of books. The books of regret. You open one and it transfers you to the life where you didn’t make that particular regret. Was it marrying someone or traveling or maybe other Leggi tutto
So, first of all, HUGE thank you to goodreads for featuring my kindle highlights and notes for this book - wow. I never would've expected such an amazing opportunity to share my love for this book NOR would I have expected to "meet" so many wonderful people through the comments. It's been so much fu Leggi tutto
Okay. Picture this: you are about to bite into a cookie. A big, warm cookie. Kinda crispy on the outside, chewy on the inside, yummy and chocolate chip-y and presumably made with brown butter and flaky sea salt, as all the best cookies are. And then you take a big ol' chomp, and...oh no. Not a chocol Leggi tutto
Okay! No more words! This is one of the best sci-fi and fantasy mashups of the year, with an added layer of philosophical depth. I LOVED IT! (And this isn’t just the kind of love where you raise your glass and toast the book. No, this is more like standing on the roof and shouting your love to the m Leggi tutto
For almost three years I have resisted. Friends told me to read this. Goodreads told me to read this. You'll like it , they promised. But I didn't like How to Stop Time and I didn't finish The Humans, I replied. Shh, this one's different. It sounds like one of those books where a depressed person with Leggi tutto
Nora has a rough 24 hours, and she thinks her life is not worth living. She finds herself in a library where she can pick a book where her life would be different than her current life. Will Nora ultimately find the answers she is looking for? What about happiness? Sorry, this book has received absol Leggi tutto
