My book club hasn’t read this yet as a group, but many of us individually so I am hoping to use this kit as a guide for us to discuss this book. I love how the questions are broken down, and are thought provoking.
I personally did not enjoy this book. It was not the cover definitely drew me in a bit. I think Glennon is a very passionate human and this book was very powerful. I enjoyed some of her beginning chapters but after a while It became too much for me.
I loved this book, full of inspiration and encouragement. This book club kit is perfect for a discussion leader to help stimulate conversation. I like that the questions are broken down by section. It really provides questions from a broad spectrum and will open up conversation among groups. Book clubs tend to go down their own winding road but this is a perfect road map to help drive the discussion.
Glennon Doyle is fierce, and I've loved her writing since Love, Warrior. I can't wait to dig into this book (what a gorgeous cover!) and follow up with some discussion questions to delve deeper into the material. These questions focus on a specific passage of the book, and pose a question base on that to help further your understanding and compassion.
This is perfect for book club discussions! Some really thought-provoking questions. I really enjoyed thinking about these questions and they helped me seeing this book differently.
This guide will be awesome to have for a book club discussion! It has a pretty extensive set of questions and topics for all 3 parts of the book, as well as a section to "enhance your book club"! This will be great to have if my book club decides to read Untamed in the future!
This book club kit was a great addition to an already compelling title. I loved that this kit contained recapping, which is incredibly helpful for guided group discussion. Thoughtful and insightful questions that enhance post-reading experience.
Glennon Doyle is such a treat! I listened to this on audible and laughed and agreed with her along the way. Thank you for this!
I read Glennon Dolye's Untamed several months ago, so it was nice to revisit the text via this Book Club Kit.
Overall, compared to other BCK, the one for Untamed is low on frills and heavy on text. It is completely made up of Reading Group Guide questions and prompts. They are very dense but apt to lead to productive discussions.
Because of the nature of the book, being a memoir/self-help blend, the guide actually could be used well by an individual reader who wants to spend time self-reflecting, and perhaps journaling, after finishing it.
It does seem like a bit of a miss though that Glennon didn't include anything personal for her readers in the BCK. A note from the author would have been a very nice touch.
Thoughtful, pointed questions. The formatting appeared off on my Kindle version with the colorful cover inserted oddly in some places but it didn't detract from the usefulness of the kit.
Glennon Doyle's book isn't just your typical self-help memoir. She asks readers to dig deeply into choosing their hard suggesting that we can do hard things. Her storytelling ability is comedic, charming, and genuine. Glennon uses the metaphor of a cheetah in her memoir and threads this theme throughout the book. Shares of the life she left behind in the pursuit of one that made her happy--one with her wife Abby and three children. What I loved about this memoir was that she didn't spend a single chapter blaming anyone for her suffering. She owned it and talked about how she was able to--and continues to--work through it.

I have not yet read Untamed by Glennon Doyle. It is on my to be read pile and I'm looking forward to diving into soon.
This book club kit is the perfect companion to the book. It asks thought provoking questions that let you take a deeper dive into the book.
I think this will definitely enhance the reader's experience with reading Untamed!
I'm so grateful to Glennon Doyle, Penguin Random House Library Resources, and NetGalley for providing me with a free copy of this ARC ebook in exchange for my honest review.
I love these Book Club Kits! I find them very helpful even though I don't always read them as part of a book club. It helps me think deeper about the book than I otherwise would have done!!
I reviewed the Book Club Kit for Untamed. This book club kit includes discussion questions and activities to enhance your book club. I thought the discussion questions were quite deep and required reflection. They would be excellent for a book club. I also really liked the suggested activities like writing a letter to your truest self.
I would definitely recommend this Book Club Kit for Untamed.
Fantastic discussion guide to go with a fantastic book! It's lovely to have such well-thought-out questions to use to further dive into what I've read, whether with a group or individually.
This book club guide is just a list of discussion questions, but there are a TON of detailed questions. I think any group that uses this would have a great discussion.
Useful even if you aren't in a bookclub. Great discussion questions for a club. Good things to think about if you are reading it independently.
This Penguin Random House Book Club Kit is such a great idea. It's short and concise, spicing up your book club meeting without making a literal plan or taking up your entire time as a group.
This kit consists of:
- a list of inventive, poignant questions; I love how thought provoking and open they are, welcoming many different points of view in your group. This list is divided into sections, just like the book. There are so many of them you probably can't get through all in one book club session, but pick and choose!
- self-development exercises, such as writing a letter to yourself. I liked these a lot, and I think this will make for a more transformative experience than just a book club meeting.
That being said, I wish there was more. Just something more - a letter from the author, more suggestions, games, DIY, recipes, something.
I loved getting to look through this fun Book Club Kit for Untamed by Glennon Doyle.
I haven't read the book yet but looking over this kit definitely has me wanting to check it out!
The packet is beautiful with artwork that compliments the book's cover art.
It includes great discussion questions with a lot of thought put into them and a number of calls to action based on the book.
Thanks to Penguin Random House Library Resources and NetGalley for the advance copy.
Even if you aren't in a book club, you can use this to do some critical thinking. It helps you think about the meaning of the story. It's broking into parts which is awesome!
