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, Nora Seed finds herself faced with this decision.

Forget what you've learned in nursing school and get ready to glimpse the essential study strategies. Commit to passing the NCLEX. Repeat after me, "Repetition is the key." Your time is precious so allow our book to show you the structure and style of the NCLEX.

Good rationale. Nice Tempo. All subjects covered.

Narrator should have a med term background!
Reviewed: 03-02-20
Content is pretty good, but the ridiculous pronunciations of even basic medical terms is so frustrating I find myself yelling at the narrator instead of listening to the next question. Wouldn't buy again unfortunately.

Got a little draggy toward the end and the "twist" was a little rushed and blah.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 2,016
Maddie Fynn is a shy high school junior, cursed with an eerie intuitive ability: she sees a series of unique digits hovering above the foreheads of each person she encounters. Her earliest memories are marked by these numbers, but it takes her father's premature death for Maddie and her family to realize that these mysterious digits are actually death dates, and just like birthdays, everyone has one.

From Lauren Graham, the beloved star of Gilmore Girls and Parenthood, comes a witty, charming, and hilariously relatable debut novel about a struggling young actress trying to get ahead - and keep it together - in New York City. It’s January 1995, and Franny Banks has just six months left of the three-year deadline she set for herself when she came to New York, dreaming of Broadway and doing "important" work. But all she has to show for her efforts so far is a part in an ad for ugly Christmas sweaters, and a gig waiting tables at a comedy club....

Born to a prominent Chicago judge and his stifled socialite wife, Mia Dennett moves against the grain as a young inner-city art teacher. One night, Mia enters a bar to meet her on-again, off-again boyfriend. But when he doesn't show, she unwisely leaves with an enigmatic stranger. With his smooth moves and modest wit, Colin Thatcher seems at first like a safe one-night stand. But following Colin home will turn out to be the worst mistake of Mia's life.

This was a bit of a struggle to get through. The plot was a little bland, the narration wasn't impressive and the ending twist fell flat IMHO. I made it through, but just barely, and was so happy to be done...

Victoria McQueen has an uncanny knack for finding things: a misplaced bracelet, a missing photograph, answers to unanswerable questions. When she rides her bicycle over the rickety old covered bridge in the woods near her house, she always emerges in the places she needs to be. Vic doesn't tell anyone about her unusual ability, because she knows no one will believe her. She has trouble understanding it herself.

Emotionally exhausted in a happy-place sort of way
Reviewed: 08-23-13
I've been listening to audio books on Audible now for about two years. This is the first review I've written; not because there haven't been other books worth it, but because I finish a book, think I should write about it, get distracted and never quite get around to it. In other words, I'm lazy.
But this....
First off, any idea or story that dances its way through the potential great unknown, the sea of unprovens, of foamy conceptualisms never proven that sort of quietly niggle behind the hard facts of the seen and known, sucks me in wide eyed and staring as one does when passing a car wreck. They scare and fascinate me in equal proportions. NOS4A2 certainly is that, blending the two worlds of reality and imagination together in a tightly woven knit that doesn't really leave room for argument. You don't have much of a choice but to suspend your disbelief. It's believable. Not surprising either, considering the family to which Joe Hill belongs.
Secondly, Kate Mulgrew is such an amazingly fantastic narrator. I read a ton of reviews prior to listening that gave her glowing, rave reviews, so my expectations for her were pretty high. When I first began listening, I thought I was about to be disappointed. I'm not sure what I expected, but her voice was not it. It took about 20 minutes for me to change my mind. I don't know how she managed to do it, but she took the things that made each character and embraced them, brought them to life, and switched between them as effortlessly as if there were really different people speaking. More than that, she makes you FEEL every single emotion, thought, action that happens, no matter how small.
Okay so writing any more would probably be boring and unnecessary. It's an amazing emotional ride through two worlds, one real and one imagined, that collide together to weave this story. One might walk away with less certainty that the real world is really...well, real...at all. I feel like I need to lie down and recover, but in a really good happy-place sort of way.
