This book club kit was extensive! It offers an author interview, discussion questions that offer a wonderful opportunity to discuss different aspects of the book with your fellow readers, a discussion about the cover, beautiful printable book marks, and a variety of activities that tie in the book's plot. These include writing prompts and advice to authors that are pulled right from the book. There is also a fun snack section where the kit recommends snacks to bring to your book club meeting and a drink recipe; which was such a great addition!

This was a great book club kit. I loved the insights on this particular piece because it was a step off from Jasmine Guillory's usual writing to be part of the Meant to Be Series. I was glad to have some additional insights from her about that process, plus other thought provoking questions about the story. I enjoyed this kit as an add on to the book, even though in this case, I didn't have a club myself to discuss it with!

How did I not know Book Club Kits existed? The last meeting I hosted for my book club would have been way more exciting if I had (shoutout to my books make the world go round crew). My introduction to Book Club Kits is serendipitously through a book I really enjoyed, “By the Book” by Jasmine Guillory.

Let’s get the main surprise out of the way: this is not just about discussion questions. There are discussion questions, yes, and they are excellent ones. However, then there’s a whole gamut of really fun things. Because they are so lovely, I am actually going to list them right here while trying to keep some of the suspense intact:

- Two interview/Q&A’s, one with the author and another with the book cover designer
- A printable gift for you, the reader!
- Writing tips & prompts
- Recipes and food guides (I actually should have expected nothing less from a book kit for one of Jasmine Guillory’s works)
- Recommendations on what to read if you enjoyed reading “By the Book” or any of its themes
- AND MORE

While you work on getting your copy of this kit, I’m going to go ahead and read my next kit so I can officially become the best book club host.

Great companion for book clubs who are reading by The book. Great tips to start the discussion about The book.

I thought this book cute was so cute. I think it would be beneficial for people involved in book clubs and just discussing this book in general.

Fairy tale retelling? Check. Diverse cast of characters? Check. Would I recommend to others? Check.

I thoroughly enjoyed this unique retelling of Beauty and the Beast. It was also my first Jasmine Guillory book (shocker, I know!)

The book kit contained an interview with the author Jasmine Guillory and with the cover designer Marci Senders, it gave us. We've got two beautiful sets of bookmarks. I found out what my pen name would be. We've got questions and suggestions to discuss the book.
As a nice plus, there are several recipes, and my favourite: book recommendations!

I love these book club kits! They make hosting book club night 100x easier! The discussion questions are my favorite part because they are thoughtful and insightful to the book!

The kit was a good guide. I have never used a book club kit before, but look forward to using them more and more.
Thank you Netgalley and the publishers for the kit.

Awesome and extremely user friendly kit. Compelling, engaging it drew us deeper into the By the Book World.

I thought this was packaged nicely for a fun book club/night out. While it had some discussion questions, a few author interview segment, writing prompts, and some fun recipes, however, I guess I was expecting more of a book and discussion guide (goes deeper in depth).
I would recommend this for a more casual book club that's looking for some fun ways to have a night out whether virtual or in person. A good beverage and snack board could be very appealing.

Beauty and the Beast has forever been my favorite Disney movie. When I heard that not only there was a book remake, but that it was also by one of my favorite authors I HAD to have it. Jasmine did not disappoint either! Pretty sure my cheeks hurt by the time I was done reading this story. Definitely five stars from me.

This is a perfect accompaniment for a By the Book book club! I love how it is organized and contains everything you need to host a perfect meeting. From author and cover designer interviews, discussion questions, and even menu ideas, this is a one stop guide. There are also some fantastic next book recommendations as well. Looking forward to picking up the next kit in the series!

This was not only aesthetically stunning, but it was thoughtful and fun! There was a great mix of provoking questions and light material.

Great addition to the book! Really helped enhance the reading experience and gave useful topics and questions to discus in our book club!

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, and I loved how Netgalley began including this in request. Will definitely use in the near future with my very own book club.

So happy to have this for the book! I love reading any book club kits for books that help you think more about the book and get more info from the author.

Thank you NetGalley and Jasmine Guillory/We Are Bookish!

I loved the book so much.. This bookclub kit was very cute and fun to have. The bookmarks were great.

Thanks!

The Book Club Kit has great discussion questions. Nice charcuterie board ideas and recipes for drinks. Fun activities such as Pen Name creator are included.

I really like this book club suit. The Jasmine Guillory interview and the discussion topics were fantastic. 

Nice extras included a pen name generator, writing prompts, and advice on how to create the ideal charcuterie board. A book club would have a great time working through this.
