Good adjunct to reading this highly recommended book. The historical notes are interesting, particularly the history of the British in Mexico and not too long. The paper dolls are a cute idea, even if I mainly like them for filling out my images of the book - would be very handy particularly with old novels.

I didn’t realize when I downloaded this that it is a companion to the novel but I am glad I didn’t know. This is thoughtful, and will be a great addition when I get the hard copy of the book. Also, I think this would add some levity to reading the novel because this is cute as hell and I love it!

I am seriously OBSESSED with this book club kit!!! It has author interview pages, discussion question pages, good ideas, read next ideas, games…. So many fun things to use with the book!!

I’m halfway through the book Mexican Gothic itself and I love it so much, that I’ve paused reading it so I can resume in October, when the New England air is chilly and crisp and my page is lit by a pumpkin spice candle (Yes, I am that person)

One of the most beautiful things about Mexican Gothic is the atmospheric description of the house and the grounds! The author’s writing style is so detailed and organic that reading about Noemí standing in a foggy cemetery literally sent chills down my spine

This kit includes backstory on the real places that inspired the setting of this book and reading about them just helps to visualize the focal point of Mexican Gothic even more

Also, the author does a quick dive into the history of gothic romances and draws an interesting parallel to modern-day domestic noirs, I’m just getting into gothic novels and intrigued to check out some of the examples mentioned in this kit

Lastly, the Noemí paper doll! Can we talk about how lovely that is? An unexpected addition, but helps bring an already vivid character to life

Thank you Penguin Random House Library Resources! This is an amazing book club kit! I love all the bonus content!

I loved the book club kit. It had some cute options to make the book more in depth. I think this was an excellent addition!

Thank you Net Galley ARC

I have yet to read the book, but I have it on my physical TBR and will be reading soon! I was hoping this was for the book itself but the book kit was very cute and I’ll be going to back to it once I complete the book. I was careful not to read too much into it to avoid any spoilers.

Thank you for creating material that goes beyond the book for fans. It’s amazing to be able to connect with others and discuss the theology behind characters and events in writing.

Brilliant book club addition!!
Cute addition to make your book club experience that much better!
Highly Recommend!

This book club kit provides insightful additional information that adds depth to the book, and I will use it to enhance my reading of Mexican Gothic in the future.

I really wish my book club had this when we read Mexican Gothic. The interviews with the author offered some interesting info that would have enhanced our discussions, and the discussion questions were good too. The paper doll is adorable! I loved seeing Noemi’s outfits brought to life.

i like the paper dolls and the guide questions. I think the paper doll is a very creative idea! i used it as bookmark while reading the book!

I enjoyed this book club kit a bit more than I enjoyed the actual book. It's an interesting tool to help you open discussions and to think deeper about the story overall.

I very interesting Book Club Kit. I personally did not enjoy the book itself, but this book club kit was great. I loved that there are cutouts to make a Noemi doll! Brought me back to when I was a preteen cutting dolls out of journals to dress up. The playlist was excellent and the discussion questions were insightful.

I really appreciate this bookclub kit, and honestly would love to see all books come with something like this. I really appreciate the discussion questions, as I can add them into my review, and get my readers talking more and more about the book.

Insightful kit. Helped me pick up this book and line up the ones for the next reads. Great for understanding the themes of the story in detail and a great discussion starter for book clubs.

A “Fall on the House of Usher” retelling. Neomi head to High Place, a distant house in the Mexican countryside. She finds her cousin in a corruptible state. Navigating the house and its inhabitants, she must do what she can to save her cousin.

This book is wild in the absolute best way. Its dark and creepy themes keep you inside a derelict mansion. A great Halloween read!

This isn’t my favorite book from this author but I will continue to read what she puts out.

⭐⭐

While the premise of Mexican Gothic intrigued me, the book club kit fell short in its execution. It felt more like a checklist of discussion points rather than an engaging exploration of the novel’s themes and characters. The kit lacked depth, making it hard to spark meaningful conversations. The focus seemed more on format than fostering an appreciation for the story’s rich cultural backdrop and gothic elements. Overall, I found it disappointing and not reflective of the compelling narrative that Moreno-Garcia crafted.

Haunting , atmospheric horror.Couldnt put the book down. Very unique plot and good characters.
Love it all the way.
Highly recommend.

Alright friends, this book kicks off a little slowly. We are introduced to Noemi and her socialite life. She is dispatched by her father to go visit her cousin in the mountains who's recently been married to an English man and has sent a very strange and upsetting letter. Not wanting any scandal, Noemi is sent to try and calm down her cousin in a creepy and decrepit old English manor built above a tiny Mexican village.
**ma'am, the call is coming from inside the house**

I had a major theory about this book and I was RIGHT! Paying attention to Noemi's interests and small clues dropped throughout the "boring" bits of the story paints the entire mystery in bold colours.

If you liked The Hacienda you will like this one as well. Creepy house inhabited by crazy people seeing visions. Count me in.

This was an great book club kit and the paper dress up was way more fun than it should have been for a 37 year old.
