Raegan Revord talks about reading The Midnight Library by Matt Haig at age 13 during the pandemic and how it changed the way she thinks about her life and the choices she makes.
13
October 22, 2025
To fear love is to fear life. And those who fear life are already three parts dead. I was fearing life.
So you were 13?
Yes.
What is your perspective on the world at 13?
Honestly was very small because it was Covid. I was trying to control everything. I wasn't living. I was just so heavy with this stress about keeping people that I love safe and trying to control every aspect to do so.
You put a lot of pressure on yourself, huh?
Oh, yeah. I'm a perfectionist. The book found me at such a good time. It's like how in Harry Potter they say the wand chooses the wizard. I truly believe a book finds you when you need it.
So, big question.
Yes?
How did the Midnight Library by Matt Haig change your life?
Oh.
We'Ve talked.
