Finished: The Midnight Library (Haig) When a despondent Nora Seed attempts to take her own life, she finds herself in the midnight library, a place where she wavers between life and death, with a guide to help her choose any book she wants to see what her life could have been (and still could be) if she'd made a simple different choice at any one turn. What if she'd kept up with swimming for her dad and made the Olympics? What if she'd stayed in the band with her brother and become a famous singer? What if she had married the man who she'd broken off her engagement with? This is a very well written book about reexamining the choices you've made in life, your regrets, your "could-have-beens", and finding out that maybe, just maybe, you were on the right path all along. A bit predictable, with shades of It's A Wonderful Life, but an uplifting read when you see that there is always someone whose life you may have affected without even knowing it and that loving yourself goes a long way towards creating a happy life for yourself. :-)
