Communications Manager Kyla Merwin recommends The Midnight Library by Matt Haig.
National Library Week is just begging me to read a "library" book. Despite the growing volume of books on my nightstand, another pile on the kitchen table, a short stack on my work desk, and a "to read" list that keeps expanding, I went back to one of my favorites: The Midnight Library by Matt Haig.
This book reminded me that all of us make mistakes in our lives from time to time, but nothing is so bad that there isn't hope, or redemption, on the other side. And - typically - you can find these in a book (or a good therapist).
Paulo Coelho, author of The Alchemist (another one of my favorite books), once said, “Everything will be okay in the end. If it isn't okay, it isn't the end.”
Most of us get up in the morning with good intentions; we certainly don’t wake up thinking, “How can I massively screw up my life today?” Still, no one gets through adulthood without a few regrets along the way, eh? That said, if you could turn back time and make a different decision at a critical point in your life, would you...?
