I absoluelty love these kits. I run a book group that is all about the intersectionality of gender, race, class etc where we read fiction, nonfiction, poetry, and plays that dabble in an assortment of genres for ages twelve and up. A kit like this makes it 10x easier to prep for my discussion that month with a sort of guideline for what sort of questions can be asked on top of the author interviews. I also really enjoy the handouts that these kits provide. The book marks and even book related lists are great for patrons wanting more from the book group.

I read (and loved!) Queen a couple of years ago - the protagonist was a relatable, flawed millennial, and I thought the author's approach to heavier themes like mental health was very well done. I've been meaning to suggest this book to my Book Club for a group read, and these thoughtful questions and other Reader's Guide resources would be so helpful in guiding our discussion.

This is a really fun kit! I love that it also includes recipes, really fun way to connect with each other!

This is a phenomenal kit! A playlist! The Corgi quiz! The interview! All of it. I wish every book had a book Club Kit!

I love these Book Club Kits and especially the ones that include an interview with the author. I am impressed with how well thought out these book club kits are. They always include really great extras, like the videos and the bookmarks. I think they're a great resource for a book club to use. The included discussion questions are perfect for encouraging deeper exploration of the book's characters and themes, and I loved how Netgalley began including this in request. Will definitely use in the near future with my very own book club.

Good tool for bookclubs reading this book ! I downloaded as a tool to use for my club ! I’m excited to see how the ladies utilize it.

I love this book club kit! It's both aestetically pleasing and comprehensive. Gorgeous layout, which includes: an author interview, recommendations for upcoming reads, games, a playlist, recipes and discussion questions. I wish there was a kit like this for all books. I'd be more apt to pick up certain books for my book club. The work is done and looks like the making of a good time.

I loved the vibrant color scheme of this book club kit as it kept my attention while scrolling through the pages. The questions asked to the author elicited very deep and genuine answers that I appreciated. I liked doing the personality quiz and love the many book recommendations provided. I'd definitely recommend this book club kit to other readers of Queenie!

I loved Queenie and this is an excellent book club guide/ reflection guide for readers! I particularly appreciated the recipes and playlist that really craft an ambiance for discussion. This is a very comprehensive collection of resources that give suggestions for titles to read next and tangible support resources for people in need.

This was such a great kit for a book club. There were so many good questions to help facilitate conversations. We enjoyed the interactive quizzes, recipes, and the playlists. This was our first book club and the kit was so helpful for us.

Such a great book club kit!
I really enjoyed the authors interview. I thought it was interesting and captivating.
The bookmarks, quizzes and playlists were a great fun idea to include and I loved the recipe!

Great guide for discussing Queenie, a very strong story which is amazing to analyze and helpful for book clubs!

This is amazing! The information given (especially the author interview) is super interesting, the questions are very engaging and the bookmark, playlist, quizzes & recipes are super fun! Highly recommend as a Book Club Kit!

I really enjoyed the author's interview, especially when it touched on the friendships Queenie had and the importance of theraphy. About the discussion, I appreciated finding questions about Queenie's denial of what had happened, as well as the discussion about Queenie's healing journey throughout the book. The recipes were a nice-add on, I quite enjoyed them!

The "Queenie" book club kit by Candice Carty-Williams is an excellent resource for book clubs. This downloadable and printable kit includes an author interview, discussion questions, and more, enriching the reading experience. Sponsored by Gallery, it serves as a supplementary guide rather than the actual book.
When reviewing this kit, reflect on whether it met your expectations. Did it provide the necessary elements for your book club discussions? Was anything missing that your group needed?

The book "Queenie" is a disarmingly honest and boldly political novel that blends the charm of "Bridget Jones’s Diary" with the depth of "Americanah." It tells the story of Queenie Jenkins, a twenty-five-year-old Jamaican British woman navigating life in London. Straddling two cultures and feeling out of place in both, Queenie works at a national newspaper where she constantly compares herself to her white middle-class peers. Following a messy breakup, she seeks solace in all the wrong places, leading to a series of questionable decisions.
Queenie's journey is a raw and relatable exploration of identity, self-worth, and the quest for meaning in a world filled with conflicting answers. With fresh and honest prose, Carty-Williams offers a compelling narrative that resonates with modern women searching for their place.
This kit is ideal for book clubs looking to facilitate engaging and thoughtful discussions about "Queenie."
