I really enjoyed this book club kit. I would highly recommend it to anyone that needs. I enjoyed the author's interview, though I felt it could be longer. The questions were great and they had tips for making a charceuterie board and drink for the book club. They also had writing prompts, which would something new to bring to book club. I feel like this is great if you are just starting a book club and need help getting ready.

This was a fun read but missing some of the sparkle and pop that makes a great Jasmine guillory read! Her books have so much energy and this felt a bit weighed down by the concept.

Another great book club kit. These need to be purchasable via Amazon. The general public would love them! In this book club kit my favorite part was the Enemies to Lovers book recommendations and the Pen Name generator and writing prompts. It is just so fun to immerse yourself more into the story by participating the activities.

This is one of my favorite books ever. This is the best retelling of Beauty and The Beast and I have read it twice now. I always love a book kit to dive deeper into the story. Thank you Netgalley

Love this kit it gives something extra to the book club . Since this was only the a kit and not the actual book I didn’t link a review .

A really good kit, my friends loved it and felt they enjoyed the book more after reading the kit. I would highly recommend it to other book clubs before reading this book

Great tips and feedback for the book with good discussion points. It was a nice companion to the book.

I didn't realize this was not a actual book. But I loved this kit and hearing the author thoughts and the book club thoughts.

This bookclub kit is fantastic. I like the interview with the author aspect, followed with questions to help with discussion of the book.
The bookmarks are a nice edition,
The book recommends really help as a guide to what to pick up next.
The actives sound interesting but as our book club meets jn a resrturant may have to get creative or have it as a home challenge.

Jasmine Guillory's "By the Book" offers a delightful and contemporary twist on the classic "Beauty and the Beast" tale, set in the world of publishing. This modern retelling brings fresh and engaging elements to the age-old story, making it a charming and heartwarming read.

The protagonist, Isabelle, is a relatable character who finds herself at a crossroads in her career and life. Her journey of self-discovery, self-empowerment, and her pursuit of professional recognition will resonate with readers who have faced similar challenges and aspirations. As the only Black employee at her publishing house, she navigates issues of representation, diversity, and inclusion in a nuanced and authentic manner.

The reluctant "Beast" of this story, Beau Towers, adds depth and complexity to the narrative. His initial standoffishness and struggles mirror Isabelle's, and their gradual connection and shared experiences create a touching and believable romance.

Guillory's writing is engaging, witty, and filled with humor, making it a joy to follow Isabelle and Beau's journey as they collaborate on his manuscript. The novel also explores themes of self-worth, creativity, and the transformative power of connection.

"By the Book" is a heartwarming and inspiring story of two individuals who find unexpected love and understanding while pursuing their creative passions. It's a celebration of diversity, empowerment, and the idea that true beauty lies in the depths of one's character. If you're a fan of contemporary romance with a modern twist on classic tales, this book is a must-read.

Adorable kit! I love the bookmarks, discussion guide and games to play. A great way to keep the topic of conversation on the book.

The Book Club Kits are fabulous tools to enrich your reading experience. They provide questions that make you reflect more on what you've read and points to discuss in a book club to hear different thoughts and explore further. Even if you're not in a book club, you can use it to ponder on some aspects of the book that you may have missed or wouldn't have lingered on when you read it. If you want to get more out of a book, the book club kit will act as a wonderful learning tool. Highly recommended.

I LOVE the concept of book club kits! I feel they enhance the book experience and make me think about things I would have not thought of.I wish every book I read had this as a resource.

I found this kit very helpful. The actual books will be purchased by the school through a local bookstore. The helpful info will help me facilitate classroom discussion. It was very helpful in my planning for this coming school year

This was helpful for bookclubs. Had some great questions and resources to utilize for the book clubs.

This is a great way to start conversations and get engaged with other who are reading the same book. The prompts are fun way of getting another view of others about specific parts and chapter. Totally love it!

So fun! Love the book cover and how the roses tie in. The recipes and writing prompts were so perfect! Nothing I would change. Great book club kit!

The prompts for the book clubs were really good. Nice conversation starters and there are recommendations at the end.

This resource is very helpful for people who are into book clubs! Great for conversation starters that revolve around the book.

This book club kit was well thought out and put together. It not only included thoughtful questions, but also bookmarks, games, charcuterie advice, drink recipes, and writing activities that fit the theme of the book. I appreciated that it included information on the author and cover designer, other books by her/the publisher, and suggestions for books to read if you enjoyed this one. So much good info in this kit! This would be a great kit for someone wanting to spice up a book club meeting.
