Hi - good list! I read Midnight Library last year - the concept sounded so attractive that I had to buy it. It was engaging, no doubt, and some of the initial alt lives were fun to read...but I did feel by the end that the book became excessively instructive and preachy (too 'be thankful for what you have' if you know what I mean?) That sort of ruined it for me. I remember talking to a friend soon after reading it and they felt the same. Did you notice this too, but feel like it wasn't jarring enough to otherwise take away from the book?
A great list! ✨
Thanks Kate! Any you’d add to that list? 📚
