Our
Bookaholics book club will be gathering at Ceili Coffee & Wine Bar on Wednesday, July 20 at 6:30pm to chat about
The Midnight Library by Matt Haig. We have plenty of copies available at the Library, so grab one the next time you visit us! There have been mixed reviews coming in so far, so it should make for an interesting discussion. This is a laid back book club where everyone is welcome; whether you liked or disliked the book, didn't even finish it, or just want to hang out with some other cool book loving people. We hope you can join us!
Matt Haig has written all kind of books for children and young adults, as well as fiction and nonfiction for adults. Below you will find some of his other books geared towards adults.
Fiction
How to Stop Time “She smiled a soft, troubled smile and I felt the whole world slipping away, and I wanted to slip with it, to go wherever she was going… I had existed whole years without her, but that was all it had been. An existence. A book with no words.”
The Humans "When an extra-terrestrial visitor arrives on Earth, his first impressions of the human species are less than positive. Taking the form of Professor Andrew Martin, a prominent mathematician at Cambridge University, the visitor is eager to complete the gruesome task assigned him and hurry home to his own utopian planet, where everyone is omniscient and immortal."
The Dead Fathers Club "Philip Noble is an eleven-year-old in crisis. His pub landlord father has died in a road accident, and his mother is succumbing to the greasy charms of her dead husband's brother, Uncle Alan. The remaining certainties of Philip's life crumble away when his father's ghost appears in the pub and declares Uncle Alan murdered him."
Nonfiction
The Comfort Book “It is a strange paradox, that many of the clearest, most comforting life lessons are learnt while we are at our lowest. But then we never think about food more than when we are hungry and we never think about life rafts more than when we are thrown overboard.”
