The Midnight Library Matt Haig Novels & Stories

I beamed. "Crazy, isn't it?" "Fucking crazy, for real." "First, we put THE DA VINCI CODE by DAN BROWN here." He picked out the book and inserted it in the center line of the shelf. He put HOW TO STOP TIME by MATT HAIG, followed by EVERGREEN by NAOMI HIRAHARA. "Then KISS THE GIRLS by JAMES PATTERSON." He put it next to the first book. "I've read that." I went on in a spur of excitement. "It's a thriller and mystery novel about a detective who's trying to track down a serial killer. So many twists and cliffhangers. Total page-turner." I giggled.

I quickly swallowed the mouthful of food. Clearing my throat, I finally replied. “Er…yes?” How the hell did he know who I was? His hands rested loosely in the pockets of his jeans. “I thought so. I’m Matt. I work in the library...” I know that. I looked at your picture while I touched myself. Fuck. Concentrate Rosie. “…Your friend Vanessa told me you were looking for a book the other day...Marketing Mathematics? We didn’t have it in so I’ve ordered it. Should be here by Thursday if you want to come in and pick it up?”
