Book Club Kit Mexican Gothic # NetGalley

I had never heard of this authors before. However the synopsis of. What I read really peaked my interest. Unfortunately it definitely was not for me. I actually found parts I liked. Unfortunately my over all opinion just really boring and the part glad I didn’t have to read it all because I just could not have done it

I'm a massive fan of the book, and I think this kit is very fun to have on hand for after you finish the novel. I especially loved the breakdown of Neomi's fashion choices and how they help immerse the readers in the time period in which the book was set. If you're reading Mexican Gothic for a book club, this will be definitely be nice to have!

The book is fantastic and the book club kit was really helpful for my book club.

The questions made us think and lead to great discussions.

This kit is awesome to have! Totally beats the traditional idea of book clubs.
I saw the kit when I started to follow the author and I was intrigued. Not alot of books have a book club kit.
I am a huge history buff that the history behind the book is a wonder read to have as I see that the author had so much research to use from and made it fun. Including the activities attached to the kit was fun to use while reading and during the discussion.
So instead of having the regular discussion with your group with a glass a wine (or in my case a cup of tea) you have the resources to make it to a real event or party.

Thank you NetGalley for sending the book to review. All the opinions are my own.

This package is incredibly useful as it contains question prompts, a curated playlist, and insights into the author's creative inspiration. I'm ready to dive into this novel.

Thank you NetGalley for an e-copy of the kit.

This novel was rough for me. I kept thinking it was going to get better because I was slightly intrigued by this era idea but the ending was not worth it. I was so unsatisfied at the end and uncomfortable with her cousins husbands time travel rape situation. It was a lot in all the worst ways. I think the book club kit was quite basic questions but I liked that it was a blend of comprehension and thought based questions. I did also think the Spotify playlist was a fun unique touch.

I enjoyed this book felt like the plot moved along at a great pace. I was on the edge of my seat and could not put it down.

This was really fun to have after I was done with the book, definitely recommend!! In fact, I think having this on ‘standby’ after I was finished reading Mexican Gothic made me love the book even more!

Such a fun kit!! I am so happy I stumbled on this. It will be perfect for my book club! It is packed with fun!

I am starting to become a big fan of Silvia Moreno-Garcia's writing, this book caught my attention for just reading the first chapter and I couldn't put it down until I was done.

Really good and unique book club kit, with good questions, a playlist, a letter from the author. I recommend it.

This is such an intriguing plot, but could have been executed better. The first 100 or so pages were extremely slow. The plot does pick up and become more intriguing. There was a lot of repetition. I loved the characters mystery at first — but if felt like it never fully developed.

It might be a fun quick read around October.

Everyone talked so highly of this book and it was my book of the month I was so excited but In all honesty it was a pretty big let down. I think perhaps this read just wasn’t for me. The premise was wonderful so I dived right in but as I did I was super disappointed. Noemi is living the good life and living off daddy’s money in Mexico City. That big favor her dad asks her to do she can’t do and she comes off as if she’s stuck but why can’t she just leave? Her wandering around the house aimlessly dragged on way too long and was so boring. I Waited for the nightmares to become good and creepy but it was just a let down.

I had just watched Crimson Peak when I read this book, very similar vibes, in the best way possible! I absolutely love this gothic horror historical fiction. And the twist is simply *chef's kiss*! The writing is gorgeous and extremely immersive. I cannot wait for those to become a show, I just hope they do this fanatic novel justice!
This book club kit is wonderful. I especially love the paper dolls! Looking forward to discussing the book with a group.

Excellent book club kit for a great book. Will order for library as we update our book club bags and what goes into them..

Loved all the questions included in this pamphlet! A lot of grey thought provoking questions to bring to a book club. Would recommend t to anyone that enjoyed the book.

This Book Club Kit is impressive! As a Library Programming Coordinator, I will definitely be using this for an upcoming Book Club! This kit includes paper dolls, a Spotify playlist to set the mood, and engaging discussion questions. It offers several creative options for a book club facilitator to engage a diverse group of readers.

Honestly, is there anything better than a Playlist for a good book? This is a great book club kit with thought provoking questions and fantastic historical background tidbits. And perfectly topping it off is the paper doll of Noémi. A spot on blend of discussion, discovery, and fun.

i think that this is a great resource for a book club. i would like to add that i accidentally downloaded this, but i was pleasantly surprised with the content! i can definitely see myself using this in the future if i ever made a book club!

This is a really good book kit to use for a book club. The questions are interesting and makes reading the book more appealing. I also loved the author's note. I really recommend it to everyone who wants to read this book or has already read it!
