It's Monday! What are you reading?

 I deviated from my summer reading pile AGAIN--because I am a sucker for any book that has "library" in the title.  This week, it's The Midnight Library: A Novel by Matt Haig--and yes, it has had me reading until midnight a couple of times already!


It's another grown-up book (I'm making up for a year of reading kidlit for my job, I think!).  Nora Seed has lived a life of trying to meet others' expectations, failing at every turn--or so she thinks.  Having depression doesn't help, and a particularly dark day leads to a drastic decision that doesn't have quite the result she was expecting.  I can't write much more without giving too much away...but suffice it to say that this book will have you thinking about decisions both big and small and the paths they lead us down.  Do you ever look back on your life and wish you could have done things differently?  What do you think would have happened if you did?

It's Monday, and I'm reading a "windows" book, as I'm not one to regret decisions that are already said and done.  What books are keeping you up past your bedtime these days?

I will be taking a break from Monday book posts for the next month as I return to the library for summer school duty.  "See" you in August!

  1. Dear Mrs Margocs, this is Grace. I am glad I found you here. I participated in some of the title talks held on the past Tuesdays. I love the books that teachers recommended. But I missed your talk:(

    Would you recommend the books that you mentioned in your title talk so that I could enjoy reading them?

    Thank you so much!

    Love,
    Grace
