There are all kinds of fun pages in this book club book! This is perfect for book clubs if you’re reading If the Shoe Fits.
After finishing this short-but-sweet kit I feel it added to the reading experience and provided lots of topics for discussion among readers.
The author's interview is really great. Julie Murphy came across as down to earth and relatable in her answers and I loved the insight into her writing process.
I think content warnings are always appreciated. We can never be too prepared when starting a new novel and when it comes to triggers it's better to be overly aware.
The other elements in the book club kit, such as the challenges and quizes, further book recommendations from Julie herself and other authors and the food and drink recipes would be perfect for an in-person book club.
The only thing that may not be successful is presuming people are attending in-person book clubs when in reality, social media and virtual book clubs are more popular and prevalent in the book community, especially since Covid-19. The digital space among readers has exploded so I think targeting the online community is very beneficial.
I love this book club kit. How fun to have a pizza recipe, a cocktail, recipe, handy discussion questions, bookmarks and even a craft project to go along with a book. I've been in book clubs for many years and we've never had anything like this. I hope they continue to make more of these.
This book kit is intended to accompany the book "If the Shoe Fits" by Julie Murphy. Never having hosted a book club before, this book kit gave a plethora of different types of insight into the book that will guide me as my friends and I intend to start our own book club. I really enjoyed the author interview that gave insight into Murphy's writing processes, inspirations, and struggles with writing this novel. The discussion questions were good conversation starters about the plot, and some could even be used as inspirations for book club talks about other books. The bookmarks were adorable and the following activities were very cute. I also appreciated the food and drink recipes!
This was such a fun book club kit! My friends and I read If the Shoe Fits for a book club, so when I saw this club kit I thought it would be fun to share with them and see how we liked it.
We loved the interview with the author to get some more insight into the book and all of the extras that were added into the the kit! The questions were all a great mix and allowed us to all come up with some different insights into what we read. There were recipes for pizza and a drink, so we made those for the book club too! The "read next" books at the end had some great recommendations that we added to our list of potential books to read for book club!
Overall, we thought this was a fun kit that enhanced our book club experience. While we didn't use all of the elements (the shoe design and bookmarks) it was fun to have some extras that made reading this book even better!
Book club kits add a lot of value to group reading! My friends loved receiving the book markers as a surprise and it was really fun to do the BOOK CLUB BINGO worth a marguerita hahaha the list of recommended readings was very good too, I added several of those books to my "want to read" list. And, as is tradition in my book club, we made THE CINDY cocktail and it was a success!!!
Loved this Book Club Kit! It's stacked to the brim with book extras! You're provided with an interview from the author, 14 discussion questions to bring to book club and 2 double sided bookmarks. You get a Shoe design challenge as well as a "How Far Would You Make It In Before Midnight" quiz. You also get two book club activities! My favorite parts of the kit the pizza recipe as well as the Cocktail Recipe. Can't wait to try these out!
If the Shoe Fits by Julie Murphy will be next book for the book club!
It was my week to choose the book and after a little research this one caught my eye. This Book Club Kit is amazing, the proposal of the bingo, the quiz, the pizza and cocktail (that we already tried out) (it was magnificent) and the shoe design are things my book club would love to do. Creativity, artsy and hunger overtakes that room all the time, it was very nice to see how all of the activities related so well to the theme.
Julie Murphy has always been one of the favorites in the Book Club, we can't wait to read this and the books recommended as well. Definitely recommending this kit to more friends!
Ahh this book club kit was just perfect!! Thank you netgalley can’t wait to continue using it! This is the perfect little kit for all book clubs and I love how self guided it all is!! I absolutely loved this book and so it was super fun to use!
This maybe the next read in my book club. This pack has awesome questions that we i can use in group, and will make my group plan a lot easier.
I love the bookmarks included for printing - will definitely be printing them.
the challenge/game idea are pretty cool and will b fun to try out.
And without a shadow of a doubt I know already the signature cocktail recipe will go down a treat.
the recommendations are also really helpful for possible future reads
Thank you for this pack, it is really fun and I will be pushing for this to be our next book (we vote at the end of each meeting) my fingers are crossed for this book
This kit was such a fun idea! I love the recipes in it as well as the ideas for a book club. From the questions to the book bingo!
This kit is so cute I love all the information and goodies provided. I wasn't expecting so much to be packed in this down load. There are author notes/questions for reades/recipes/Bingo cards ect. I hope netgalley keeps offering these down load they are very help for group reads or book clubs.
I found this kit to be extremely helpful and included fun activities. I will be looking for more of these in the future to use.
Thank you NetGalley and We Are Bookish for the Book Club Kit.
I absolutely loved it. I already wanted to buy the book but after reading the interview with the author I want it even more.
The bookmarks are stunning!
This was so fun!! I might not have read the book yet but this made me wanna read it so bad! Gonna go order it right now ! Thank you!!
A great story by a talented author. If you are a reader of romance books, this romcom should be right up your alley. I recommend it definitely.
Love the book club template! Makes coming up with questions for your discussion easier! I wish more books had this option!
If you’ve read the book then this is like bonus stuff. It includes a cocktail recipe, pizza recipe, book recommendations, bingo card, challenges, discussion questions and author interviews. Great for book clubs and discussion groups.
I'd never heard kf the book before I seen this kit and I'm so glad I came across it. The story hits so much and the questions in the kit are fab. I loved the bookmarks as they're so colourful cannot wait to print the..
This was my first book club kit from Netgalley and it was a great first experience! I appreciated that the aesthetic matched the book and it was organized very well. The quiz, recipes, and bingo board were above-and-beyond touches that would be enjoyable for any book club. I appreciated the author's interview as well where she talks about wanting to write about a blended family and spend more time on the "prince charming" character than the original Cinderella did. The "read next" section was probably my favorite part because after loving a book, one of my biggest problems is that I don't know where to turn for a similar read!
