An absolute delight! I loved not only the pacing of the story, but the telling of it as well. From start to end, I was given an adventure!

A wonderful bookclub kit! The bookclub kit is fun & even includes some themed bookmarks to cut out.I wish more books had this type of bookclub kit. The bookclub kit also contains thoughtful questions to prompt your thoughts on this romance. I also enjoyed looking through the what to read next section.

I really enjoyed this book club kit! It was thorough and contained excellent materials. My favorites were definitely the discussion questions, the bookmarks, the playlist, the activities, and the kiss marry banish. I also thought it was extremely helpful having the trigger warnings and the other books the author has written. Would definitely check another one out.

The Nightmare Before Kissmas Book Club Kit really helped the discussion in our group! The questions helped to get people thinking about the story in ways that they hadn't before! It was a great tool to accompany the book!

This is the bet book club kit/guide that I have come across. The interview was informative. It allows for a great framework for discussions on the book. I especially love the printables! Readers love swag. And these bookmarks are as cute and charming as the book itself.

An awesome book club kit that we used in our book club. There are some great questions here, which helped to lead discussions. Also, there are recipes to try (which I haven't, but want to). Great book club kit.

This guide was great for book club! We used the questions in the kit and while this book was meant to just be a good time, it was fun to discuss a Christmas/Holiday book using this kit!

Red white and royal blue but make it Christmas. I absolutely adored this book! It was the perfect quick romance to read before christmas. I couldn't put it down and finished it in 2 days!

This book club kit is filled with lots of goodies and a really interesting author interview! Excited to try the recipes!

I didn't realize this wasn't the book (I need to read the description before applying) and unfortunately, I haven't read this book. Don't worry though, it's on my tbr for this year! However, I will say after looking over the book kit I wish all books came with a Book Club Kit. Something that I can appreciate as a reader is the content warnings, the bookmark, and the author interview was a nice addition to the kit as well. If you were having a book club/meeting, I would definitely recommend this!

What a fantastic idea, can all books come with a Book Club Kit please? Book clubs can be brilliant and so much fun, but reading books and talking about books are two very different things and a lot of us appreciate a nudge (or 10) in the right direction when it comes to talking points.

One of the things I appreciate the most about this particular supplement is the content warnings. Every single book I read, I look for this first, it's important to me. Don't want, or don't care for content/ trigger warnings? DON'T FLIPPING READ THEM, problemo solved. Anyway, having to dig through Goodreads reviews, Google, author's websites, etc. gets tired very quickly, having this list front and centre helps me immensely (there are spoiler warnings, which should be a given but aren't always).

I enjoyed the author interview, I feel like that's always a nice detail to read through either as a group or solo, especially when I've reeeeeeally enjoyed a book. As for the playlist, I generally avoid music curated by other people, but I actually love when an author shares music they listened during the writing of a book, songs mentioned in the story, or music their characters enjoy. A lovely addition.

Loved the bookmarks, such a cute touch (even though I'm mostly a Kindle kinda girl, personally), I would be embarrassingly excited to print and hand those out to the group. Laminated, obviously.

I have to admit, as a lazy ish person and also a person who doesn't want to inadvertently murder a member of the group, or get accidentally glutened by one of these clowns myself (allergens and stuff), I'm not really into recipes (also see cookie swaps). At all. That probably won't be happening.

Discussion Questions, heck yes, absolutely perfect. Activities, though... eh. It's a lot of effort, isn't it? Especially a gift exchange and baking cookies, I'd feel really guilty putting any kind of pressure on anybody. But Kiss, Marry or Banish sounds fantastic. I'm also a big fan of What to Read Next lists, definitely a big heart eyes emoji at those.

The only real (potentially) negative thing for me was, despite the gorgeous colour palette of these pages, the white text on a pink background did make me go a bit googly eyed. It just might be something to consider when it comes to readers with vision related disabilities (such as Irlen Syndrome).

This was such a cute addition/add on for the book! I haven’t seen a book club kit before but I love the idea. I feel like this was a lot more than the normal generic questions that could dive into the book a little bit more. It helped put my mind in the holiday spirit and loved the idea of recipes as well as a playlist. Fantastic work We Are Bookish and thank you for the opportunity!

This book club kit is amazing and killing it! I'm obsessed with the content in it! It has author interview pages, discussion question pages, good ideas, read next ideas!

I wish more books had this type of resource for book clubs. The additional content like recipes, bookmarks and related books can make the book club a lot more entertaining.
