I plan on reading this book very soon &, as most book club kits, has helped me ge some insight on what the story touches as well as how much will i relate to this book as a latinamerican woman myself. I like how they gave some resources to interact more deeply with the story & a little fun t be had if i were to suggest it for my book club,

"Mexican Gothic" is the first book i read by Silvia Moreno-Garcia and it was so so good.
Even if the beginning was just a little slow, after a few pages, the action just hit me. This book turned out to be more intelligent and goric that i thought it will be.
Naomi is a little spoiled and a little brat, but in the new circumstances, she changes kinda fast and i started to like her a lot.
The Doyle family was just awful, such a creepy and mean family (i do get that this was their point though). Everytime one of them spoke, i was imagining their ugly breath and empty eyes, ugh. But they are made so so good, i can see why you just can't like them. They are racist, they have many problems and secrets, and sometimes, they made me feel so anxious. They are easy to hate and they deserve it.
Francis was the only one from this family that i could fell for. He is going through so many things and he just accept them. I am still sad for him.

With every page, this book turned out creepier and creepier, which i really loved. The plot-twist, the memories, the secrets, the vibe of the house was just perfect. I feel i could reread this one when it's October and it's raining.

Loved all the historical facts included and thought the questions were very insightful. My favourite part was definitely the outfits, they were so beautiful!

Love the book club kit! My book club is getting ready to read Mexican Gothic and this will definitely help us!

The Book Club Kit for Silvia Moreno-Garcia's Mexican Gothic was a valuable resource. Short and easy to sort through, it was filled with historical information, book discussion questions, and some great and fun add ons like a music playlist (which I loved), tidbits about the fashions of the era, and even some paper dolls.

N/A - this wasn't the book and is my error. Will not leave an unfair review until I read the book. aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

I am looking forward to read the book, I think this is a great addition to the book to my understanding.
It found the explanation really interesting!

This was an awesome addition after reading Mexican Gothic. Real excited to dive into the playlist if I am to do reread. I got together with my reading friends right after this download to discuss the topics and ask some questions.
The inspiration and details brings so much more to the book and makes me more appreciative of it.

Thanks NG for this tool!

I loved the atmosphere of gothic horror mixed with dark Victorian fantasy. The entire plot is very well written and the suspense that the author created mixing everyday situations with a supernatural horror caught my attention. I really liked the characters too. I recommend reading!

This book had a slow start, but the buildup was worth it, as the action (when it starts) starts at breakneck speed and moves along quite quickly to the inexorable finish. Shades of Lovecraft mixed with Crimson Peak.

To all those who loved the book and didn’t want it to end, here is more fun for them to immerse themselves in. We have a letter from the author, some discussion questions for your bookclub and even a spotify playlist. What I loved most were the 4 dresses which you can cut out and dress Noemi.

This will be a nice add on when I am able to read the book. I have heard nothing but good things so I am excited to use this as a companion.

This is a great complement for the reading and the fact that we can print the last pages to make a real Noemí makes everything so much better.

Plus, I added the songs of the playlist because I wanna have the full experience by reading the real book.

This kit helped me to dive into the atmosphere of the Gothic story by Silvia Moreno-Garcia when I haven't yet gotten a copy of the book. This is a really nice piece of marketing, one of the most original pr-strategies I've come across. I especially loved the playlists and I'm glad I can keep those lists.

This was such a fun book club kit. It really tested what I knew about the book and definitely made me want to read it again.

Thanks to NetGalley for making this review possible.

I'm impressed with this book made by a fan of Mexican Gothic, giving characteristics of the book such as events, facts and costumes.

Also, questions to be solved by reading the whole book, like a book club.

I hadn't realised this was a bookclub kit rather than the book. Since I have read some of the book, but not for me. I fear. Reading tastes are so subjective.

Thank you to NetGalley and Penguin Random House Library Resources for providing me with a copy of this publication! I loved the playlist on Spotify, it was dark and gloomy! The paper dolls were also super fun to make!

There are a lot of great things about this book club kit. First, the dark and moody playlist on Spotify. Second, the paper dolls, which have a sentimental meaning in the book. It was also very nostalgic for me, having spent a lot of time playing with paper dolls as a child. Another great piece in this kit are the articles, "How Gothic Romances became Domestic Noirs" and "The Real del Monte" both written by Moreno-Garcia. If you have regular book club members ask them to read both article before you meet. Thank you NetGalley for forwarding me a copy of this kit. I was happy to provide a review.

Can't wait to use this with my book club! Thank you so much, I think this will really help us to engage with the book and author
