There are second chances with relationships, more opportunities to try again, and infinite chances to find and attain her dreams. She can become a glaciologist, an Olympic swimmer, or any different career. And as Nora Seed finds herself in the library, perusing the shelves, she is faced with the possibility that she could change her life and choose a new one, one where she had done things differently. They hold books that show a different life, the life that you would have lived if you had made a different choice at any given point. The premise for The Midnight Library is no less interesting than Haig’s other books: somewhere in the moment between life and death, there is a library where the shelves go on forever. But I was so taken by The Midnight Library, which I have read, that I immediately added both to my TBR when I finished reading it. Unfortunately, the first rule of The Albatross Society, a secret group that protects people like Tom is ‘Don’t fall in love.’ But Tom is hiding a secret: he has a rare condition that has kept him alive for centuries (no wonder he knows his history so well….).

On his first day at school, he meets a captivating French teacher, and love seems to be the order of the day.

In How to Stop Time, Tom Hazard is an apparently 41-year-old high school teacher, who returned to his hometown to settle down and become a history teacher. The alien finds himself learning all about humans and has to decide between finishing his mission and going home or staying to find a new home here on earth. It turns out that the human wasn’t a very nice man, which the alien who now inhabits his body discovers when sent to hide evidence that the human has found the solution to a difficult math problem. In The Humans, his lead character is a body-snatching alien who occupies the body of a human. Matt Haig’s books have the most interesting premises.
