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.
The author interview was quite insightful. I also have been journaling and writing memories since I was young, so I found this to be relatable. At the same time, it helped me understand how the novel came about and how this aspect helped shape the book. The discussion guide was interesting, especially when it focused on the relationship between the author and her mother. I think readers might have different interpretations of this bond, so it would be quite interesting to talk about this topic in a book club setting. The recipe sheets are a nice add-on!
Fantastic kit for use in book club meetings. We struggle with discussing the book (we usually say a few worked about it and then start chatting about anything in general) and this will help us to stay on track.
I love that the book club kits typically start with an author interview and then have discussion questions in it. I enjoyed seeing a recipe in the kit too! That is a great idea to include! I also liked that it had trivia questions in it.
Thank you to NetGalley, We Are Bookish publisher and the author for the book club kit!
Although I have chosen not to read Wild Game, I find this book club kit excellently put together. I love the tie-ins with recipes and book marks, especially.
The indepth author interview was fabulous, I really liked the "what to read next" section and the trivia was very fun to try.
Very nice. I loved the book club cookbook printable and the listing of books that inspired the author. There are some good ones there that I plan on reading.
This book club kit contains a wide range of content to discuss in book club meetings about Wild Game. I particularly enjoyed the page about the books that inspired Adrienne Brodeur whilst she was writing this book. I also thought the recipes pages would be very fun to follow.
I hadn't heard of Wild Game before reading this kit however now I would be excited to read it!
The Book Club Kits are fabulous tools to enrich your reading experience. They provide questions that make you reflect more on what you've read and points to discuss in a book club to hear different thoughts and explore further. Even if you're not in a book club, you can use it to ponder on some aspects of the book that you may have missed or wouldn't have lingered on when you read it. If you want to get more out of a book, the book club kit will act as a wonderful learning tool. Highly recommended.
This book club kit was well thought out and put together. It not only included thoughtful questions, but also trivia, bookmarks, and recipes! I appreciated that it included information on the author and suggestions for books to read if you enjoyed this one. This would be a great kit for someone wanting to change up a book club meeting.
This is a REVIEW ONLY of The BOOK CLUB KIT for “Wild Game: My Mother, Her Lover, and Me,” a nonfiction memoir by Adrienne Brodeur about a teenage girl whose mother makes her complicit in a love affair with her father’s best friend. This fabulously created colorful 20-page e-book Kit is loaded with everything to make your Book Club meeting memorable. Featuring lots of discussion questions to stimulate insightful two-way conversations among reading groups, it’s also full of visual appeal because of the bright art and bold, eye-catching graphics. The Q & As are excellent and will be useful for Book Club Leaders, Librarians, as well as readers themselves who want extra insight into the background of the book and author. 💕 As all compelling Book Kits do by adding additional graphics and fun elements, this one truly rocks! It offers food and drink recipes; trivia questions; bookmarks to cut out; an author interview; photos of the characters; additional suggested readings, and so much more. This is a truly exciting Book Kit worthy of it’s designation. 💕
TheBookMaven graciously thanks NetGalley, Author Adrienne Brodeur, and Publisher We Are Bookish for this Advanced Reader’s Copy (ARC) for review.
I loved this book and all these questions/answers make it even better! I wish these were available for every book!!
4.5/5
This is what I want when I get a book club kit! It has everything you need, the questions, a quiz, author interview and so much more!
I love that they give you recipes but also blank cards so you can share recipes with you book club!
I also love when they include what I like to call a souvenir with the book mark but it also included book recommendations for books that inspired Adrienne Brodeur and what to read next. All in all a great book club kit!
A wonderful downloadable resource for those who want to think about, and further discuss the themes in the book, an absolute recommend.
This is such a fun, engaging book club kit! I love reading interviews with authors, and hearing about what inspired them to write their novel. The included discussion questions are perfect for encouraging deeper exploration of the book's characters and themes, the kit is easily printable/accessible and I loved how Netgalley began including on their sites. Will definitely use in the near future with my very own book club.
It's not always easy to host a book club, as picking the right questions for a fruitful discussion can be very hard. Not only did I love that part of this book, but I also really loved the author's background information provided.
In this book club kit, I found the background information on what inspired the author to be really illuminating. It's a great element that can be added to the discussion to deepen the understanding of the book.
I absolutely loved this book, and it's so thought provoking. It's not always easy to figure out how to lead a discussion, though, and this kit was definitely useful for that.
This book club kit to use when reading Wild Game was great! It includes an author interview that was quite thorough, a discussion guide, recipes inspired by the book, photos, and trivia. I really enjoyed not just the next books to read suggestions, but books that inspired the author as well. A great companion to reading Wild Game.
Thank you for a copy of this Book Club Kit! I highly recommend this for readers and book clubs reading Wild Game because it really enhances the experience. It's beautifully put together and includes some interesting activities.
