Another great book club kit from We Are Bookish. This is a great accompaniment whether you are a lone reader or reading as a group.

I enjoyed this book club kit! I especially loved the Q&A to get to know more about the book. I also loved the bookmark, it's so cute!

I enjoyed this Book Club Kit, and found it complimented the book well! I found the questions suitably provoking of conversation. I'd most likely use it for personal reflection, or in a classroom setting; I think book club kits like this one can be ideal for engaging the reluctant reader of any age, and I found this one to be no exception!

This kit was so well put together! I loved all the extras and that it has a what to read next! It would be so useful for a book club and comes with so many fun features! The games recipes are so fun and would be great for a group setting! The bookmark is adorable and just needs to be printed and laminated. If you love learning more about the book you’re reading this kit is for you!

I cannot wait to use this book club kit when I read By The Book later this summer! It is such a fun way to have a great experience discussing the book with friends.

I’m always a sucker for a good book club kit! This one for By the Book has a really lovely interview with Jasmine Guillory, some delicious-looking recipes that I can’t wait to try, a beautiful bookmark printout, discussion questions, some writing prompts, and even an adorable pen-name generator! One thing that was unique and pretty cool about this particular kit was the interview with the cover artist. I loved that!

Thanks so much to the publisher for this kit. So fun!

Fun for book clubs and to use while reading the book.
You don't need this to understand the book it just creates a more interactive experience while reading

I thought this was a great bookclub kit! The interviews with the author and cover designer were insightful and enjoyable, and the recipes make for a perfect bookclub set up. I also really enjoyed the discussion questions. Even the addition of bookmarks was a thoughtful idea to give to your bookclub as a favor. Overall, this kit leads to the perfect bookclub for a delightful book.

A fun companion to the book and great for any book club, the Book Club Kit for By the Book by Jasmine Guillory digs into the story line and thoughts behind the book. I appreciated the content warnings at the beginning of the collection.as that can be helpful to anyone who has experienced trauma. The author interview was fun and I always appreciate an insider look into the writing process and thoughts the author had on the characters. I was surprised that there was also an interview with the cover designer as that isn't always included in any book discussion. I found the cover art to be beautifully designed and I loved the nods to the Disney story on which this series was inspired.

I loved the content, games and fun little extras included in this collection and highly recommend it to any book club interested in reading this story.

Note: I received a free copy of this collection in exchange for my honest review from Netgalley.

This is a fun idea for Book Clubs, especially ones that are now starting out and don't know what questions to ask yet. I loved the book mark idea and think it would be a fun idea to add to Book Night.

This book was so cute, and the kit offered lots of good graphics! I only wish a few extras had been included.

Another wonderfully done Beauty and The Beast retelling for og disney lovers to devour. i loved how both or mic’s were in the book realm and all the disney elements were such a special treat to come across (especially for a princess belle type of gal growing up). the characters and details were so fun, although i found the plot to be a little too unrealistic and the romance was VERY slow burn compared to some of her other novels. overall would recommend for a disney lover looking for a cute ya romance to dive into

Thank you for this Book Club Kit! This was brilliant!

First of all, I LOVE the idea of a Book Club Kit! I am a huge Jasmine Guillory fan so reading her answers to the Q&A was so much fun! Getting the author’s insight adds to any book discussion. Overall, I so enjoyed this Book Club Kit and I hope they continue to be shared.

The Q&A with the author is exactly what you need after finishing a story that grabs you in so much that you need to know more, what inspired their writing, the characters and the story. Having recipes and references which link to situations within the story helps the reader to recreate moments they've loved and feel even more connected with the characters.
Being able to make quick links between similar books and further books by the author. Fantastic resource!
