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.
