This Book Club Kit is absolutely beautiful, and I love every bit of it -- especially the recipes, bookmarks, and the interview with the cover artist was so intriguing!

I was unfortunately unable to get an advance reader copy for By the Book; therefore, I can't really comment on the book club kit. However, I've heard wonderful things about Jasmine Guillory and will hopefully get an advance reader copy or a future book of hers. Thank you.

This book is super fun to read and the book club kit is a great addition. I read this on my own, but having a kit available will make me try some of the other books that have a kit with my book club or as a buddy read with a friend.

Contains bookmarks, author interview and discussion questions. Really Informative and contains some bookish activities. Great for book clubs with a book of the month.

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.

Excellent supplement for By the Book by Jasmine Guillory. Would definitely recommend using this kit along with the book.

I absolutely love this tool!
The writing exercises get you thinking and reimagining things that happened in your childhood that you wouldn’t have thought to remember! So nostalgic! If you’d ever considered starting writing the tips are a really good way to start!
I love the charcuterie board ideas along with the drinks recipes! Makes for a good evening with the girls for book club! Definitely adding this and the book to our list!!
Then all the recommendations at the end… my TBR list just got even longer!

This was an amazing Book Club Kit! There were so many fun activities included and more information about the author!
I loved that it included charcuterie board ideas and tips on how to make the perfect charcuterie board! And the rosé margarita recipe was fabulous! These are the ideal foods I think of when I think of book clubs.
The Pen Name Generator was such a fun activity! And the writing exercises were great and are questions that would create great discussion.
I highly recommend this book club kit!

Thank you to the publisher and NetGalley for the book club kit.

Beauty & the Beast being one of my favorite Disney films, I was instantly drawn to this one. It made me want to read it. I'm glad the content varies from one book club kit to another. There were some exciting sections in this one.

So I was thinking maybe the book plus questions and discussions at the end. I guess my eyes skipped where it says? While the book itself isn't there, there were the questions and discussions. There were also a couple book marks and some recipes which I thought was cute. It's a cute idea for a book club

Super cute kit for any book club! Comes with everything you need to have discussion and maybe a party too!

Amazing companion for the novel! Perfect for book clubs, or nerds like me who enjoy all of the extra stuff without being in a book club. The designs and layout are great.

Ich weiß ehrlich gesagt nicht, wie ich dieses Buch bewerten soll, da es sich hierbei ja lediglich um ein Book Club Set handelt und nicht um das richtige Buch...

I found this book club kit very complete and full of additional material. In fact, other than the usual discussions with the author, it contains also an interview about the cover design, some bookmarks to print, writing exercises, advices from Izzy and even cocktail recipes. I recommend reading the interviews after having finished the book, to avoid spoilers.

This was such a good Book Kit to have!
I loved the questions, the bookmarks and the "Pen Name" game. It really was a good addition that I think more people should have access to.

I love Book Club Kits: they are always so useful.
I really appreciated to have a content warning and the author’s interview.
Bookmarks are so cute and all the activity very funny.
I wish I have a book club to use it.

I actually haven't read "By The Book" by Jasmine Guillory, so I came reading this book club kit to imagine whether I can apply it to other book club. It contains important points and I think is applicable for making a book club more alive. Great kit!

I like that we have an interview with the author, as well as the discussion questions (and a reasonable amount). It was pretty cool to also see the cover design interview, as it gave more insight into the design elements of the book. The bookmarks are adorable and match the book! I really like that this book box also included games (e.g., pen name generator), writing exercises to test your inner author, tips for creating the perfect charcuterie board (love me some cheese and other snacks), and a drink idea.

Thank you to NetGalley and We Are Bookish for the opportunity to read and review this book club kit in exchange for my honest opinion.
