Book Places

Books can transport us anywhere and not just to one place. In my February monthly wrap up I named the main places where my books took me, but what about all those places in-between? This ad hoc post is all about highlighting those little places.

I am currently reading The Midnight Library by Matt Haig.

At present I am on board a boat in Svalbard, Norway. The main character has just come back from an expedition where she was on lookout duty for Polar Bears and actually had to scare one away! There was also a Wulrus, but that just looked at her through the fog and then disappeared. This was the moment when she realised that she didn’t want to die.

The Midnight Library by Matt Haig

Book Description From Goodreads:

“Between life and death there is a library, and within that library, the shelves go on forever. Every book provides a chance to try another life you could have lived. To see how things would be if you had made other choices . . . Would you have done anything different, if you had the chance to undo your regrets?

A dazzling novel about all the choices that go into a life well lived, from the internationally bestselling author of Reasons to Stay Alive and How To Stop Time.

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?

In The Midnight Library, Matt Haig’s enchanting new novel, 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.”

I am currently reading Moonlight and the Pearler’s Daughter by Lizzie Pook and I am in a Pearler’s shed in Bannin Bay in Australia, full of what appears to be illegally sourced Pearls and tools which are used to punish divers. The owner of the shed has just come in and found the main character…
