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.
I can picture the evening now… a night surrounded by bookish friends, wearing name tags with our pen names (thanks to the kit’s generator). We will discuss the story while making mini charcuterie boards. Then we will sit around gossiping with margaritas in hand & mulling over our next book pick with the recommendations listed.
That said, I do wonder if there could be more virtual activities in the kit. Throughout the last few years, book lovers have been uniting virtually from all over the world. I think adding some activities that fit their needs would take the kit to the next level.
Overall, I so enjoyed this Book Club Kit and I hope they continue to be shared.

This is a very good resource. Definitely useful even if you're reading the book on your own. I enjoyed this book a lot even though it was my first experience with this author.

This a great kit to accompany the book, By The Book which is a retelling of Beauty and the Beast. This is not the actual book, however it is great to help lead a book club or buddy read of the book.

This was my first Book Club Kit and it was really interesting! I had just finished my ARC of By the Book, and I thought the interviews (both with the author and the cover designer) were really interesting. And I liked the discussion questions, too! I will definitely look to see if there are Book Club Kits for book I read and review in the future - what an awesome resource!

This was a very cute addition to the By the Book ARC. I appreciate the extra information and will be using it to drum up conversation when I discuss the book with people.

What a fun book club kit! My friend and I really enjoyed By The Book, and this was a fun way to dive deeper into the characters and storyline. I'll be keeping an eye out for more book club kits from We Are Bookish.

I love the book club guides! This guide was really special because it included an interview with a cover designer which I have never experienced! It was really cool to know how a cover is designed. I also loved the recipes and activities at the end!

I am SO excited to read By the Book! Jasmine Guillory is one of my favorite authors and I appreciate having a book club kit to guide my reading discussions/thoughts/review. I remain impressed by these We Are Bookish book club kits!

This book has good information on the author, Jasmine Guillory, and on writing in general. The book discussion questions are good. I think readers would enjoy learning about book covers and how they come about. For those wanting to write themselves, the writing exercises are very helpful. I like that Beau (the writer) offers some prompts as a writer, and Izzy, (the editor) offers additional prompts to get the writer started.

I used this for my own book club. It was very organized and helped create new conversations and discussions. I will keep this readily available.

This book kit will come in handy when the book club I'm in reads the book! I wasn't expecting it to have so much to apply to everything a book club would need/want for their meetings!

This is the first book that we are reading for our book club. This kit is going to make it so much easier. It literally has everything that you need. I love that this is available, it will totally take the stress off.

Not the actual book, but this is a cute guide for discussion during bookclub. It has Q&A with the author, recipes, bookmarks. I can’t really review on some of the Q&A section because it’s about the book and I haven’t read the actual book yet. But this is cute.

This kit was extremely informative and insightful. I plan to read this book with my book club next month and I will be using this as a reference!
