I used this for a book club with my girls and we honestly loved it. Everything came out great and we loved everything this kit included.

This book was such a fun read! I really enjoyed this authors take on the seasons as people/kingdoms.
I thought it was such a brilliant idea to have Santa/Christmas actually be the "villain". I was expecting Halloween to be the traditional "villain" of the story and I thought this was a great idea to flip the script. The concept that all the holidays world wide band together seasonally, was a very creative idea! Who would have thought someone could take holidays and seasons and create deep and interesting political/corporate controversy.
The characters love story was beautifully told and I appreciated how much depth the characters had. This was not the traditional LGBTQIA romance. I can't wait to the read the next book coming out here soon! With how much fun these characters are to read about and the creative world, I can't wait to see how far she takes this concept. there's a lot of holidays still to explore and expand upon.

I don't like giving bad feed back but I hope it helps.
The colors are not working together and the font its so simple like I'm just reading a document.
The interview was so long, I've read others and usually are 1 or 2 pages long.
Loved the activities page and the questions.
The art of the book marks its very child like, I don't mind romance books having cartoons on the cover but this is one is not good.

The book club kit was great! It had everything I needed when it comes to after reading the book. I love when book club kits have numerous activities and inclusions that are interactive and fun for the readers! Discussion questions., Book reviews., Author information, etc al make great additions to insight important and intriguing questions for the readers to contemplate and question their own perspective and knowledge.

This is a great book club resource! I definitely appreciate the book club questions for personal and book club use. The printable bookmarks are adorable! This was packed with so much great material and great stuff to use!! Thanks for putting this together!

There wasn't any of the actual book in there just interesting pages e.g book marks and fun activities

This was a really fun kit. The activities were entertaining! Really enjoyed this. I wish more authors did this for bookclub

Its definitely kind of cute, and had some good bookmarks. Overall, it’s not that helpful but I did like it.

I thought this was the book. Kind of disappointment but I should have paid more attention when signing up. I will be reading the book, and the kit has some great ideas!

Very well put together with the activities and the drinks. My book club will loved this for our monthly discussion of the book!

I liked the discussion questions. They really prompt some deeper thinking on a lighter fun read.
The printable book marks are fun, and the Bites & Sips was a wonderful addition to make it a much cozier read. I also appreciated the selection of books to read next.

I really love Book Club Kits and this one was no exception. I think it has the power to really enhance the experience of reading the book and discussing about it!

This was a fun and entertaining companion to the book. I enjoyed reading through it and thinking about the story more!

I didn't have a book club meeting or host one but I was curious about the book club kit. This kit includes some discussions and an author interview which you can discuss before your club.
Personally, I wish there was a drink for each character or a fun activity to go with the drinks...like drink if you see this word happen or if you think this will happen. Etc.
Thank you to Sara Raasch for providing this get to NetGalley. I received it to review and I hope the next book kit has a little more activites on it! Overall it's helpful and a fun way to discuss the book with friends.
I just discussed it to my husband and dog but I enjoyed testing out the drinks!

Holy Cute balls, this was so fun to read. Reading around the holidays was so worth it as it added to the ambiance. Going into it I thought it would be about a Goth and bubbly guy obsessed with baubles but NO, there’s a SANTA too. A Santa who has children who inherit the holy title.
I was inspired to read this following Caitsbooks preparing a group read of it and I thought “Hey, I need new things to read”. This is my first Sara Raasch book and you best believe I will be reading more works of hers. I am sad that the sequel means two characters didn’t end up together but I really want to see these characters flourish in Go Luck Yourself along with guest appearances from my two favourite messes.

I am writing a review for this kit because it really did help me get through this book. However I didnt want to mark this as a no feedback because I fear that it would effect my review score and rating.

I loved everything about this book club kit! I’m a little late to the game here because I just now discovered the kit on here. I did read The Nightmare Before Kissmas during Christmas and I loved it. I would definitely use this kit during when Christmas comes around again. The author interview gave me new insights to the story and the writing process. The discussion questions are fun and touch on some of the more serious tones in the book so it’s a nice mix. The art on the book marks are so cute. The activities are fun, accessible, and affordable!

I loved this companion piece to such a great book! I saved it to share with my book club when we read it this October!
