Finally our first book for the FHS Faculty Book Club! I was a little nervous about reading it, since Katie read it this summer and wasn't all that thrilled about it. But since the deal with this book club is that I expand my reading horizons, I jumped in.
It was a little odd, but it reminded a bit of one of my favorite show a while ago, Quantum Leap. I did find the book interesting; it made me wonder if all the times I wish I had of done things differently when I was younger ~ would the result really be better? Worth reading if you like taking a walk down an odd road ....
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? 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.

Next up is one of my favorite author's new book ~ I can't wait to dig in!
