Great extra resource for the book! I thought the author interview, printable bookmarks, recipes, playlist, and activities would be a great addition to this story. I also like the discussion questions, which could be helpful for a book club.

It was cute how immersive this guide was. Maybe because of the page decoration, maybe because of the content, but the guide really pleased me.
The activities also caught my attention, decorating with cookies was one of my favorites. The activities are perfect for the season that the book reflects.
Special mention to the playlist which includes many of my favorite songs.

This is another great Book Club Kit! I love the author interview, playlist, bookmarks, and snacks and drinks to go along with a book talk for the Nightmare Before Kissmas! I have to give this kit a solid 5 stars!

I was given the opportunity to review this book club kit from NetGalley, in exchange for an honest review.

After finishing The Nightmare Before Kissmas, I grabbed the Book Club Kit to see what it was all about. This super fun guide is perfect for a book club and a lot of fun even for the solo reader. I really enjoyed reading the author interview to gain some insight into the story and why the author wrote the story the way she did. I also loved the recipe section. This kit is full of fun activities, recipes, and more all tailored to fit the book. This is the perfect add on to the story and would be a great way to discuss the book in a book club.

This is great! I haven't read the book yet, but it is on my tbr. I think if if you aren't in a book club this is a great addition to the book. I look forward to reading through it along with the book.

Loved this book, and I love this kit. It has so many fun ideas, and the printable / interactive elements are really lovely! The author interview is short but sweet, and gives some great context to the book. Absolutely what you want out of a book club kit, we had a wonderful time discussing all of the questions!

This is a really cool thing if you are part of a book club. I am not, but I would definitely get some use out of it. I really enjoyed reading the author interviews and the bookmarks were such a cool idea. I think it would be cool to have custom bookmarks to go with the books I'm currently reading! I would recommend this book to anyone in a book club who is reading it.

Great for book clubs as it has some great insight into the book and some fun theme ideas. Now I just need to get my hands on the book and set the mood with the kit

This is a great book club kit for The Nightmare Before Kissmas. It has an author interview with a peek at the next book in the series, discussion questions, printable bookmarks, recipes for book-related snacks and cocktails, a book-themed playlist, activities for book clubs, and suggested games to play. It also includes a few readalikes and book suggestions. This was a fun accompaniment to the Nightmare Before Kissmas.

This was extremely adorable for a book club. With it being in a PDF form you can save and printout items. Or just post in your virtual book club.

There are discussions questions, drink recipes and a playlist while you read along. If you plan on reading by yourself or with a book club this will be a fun way to interact with the book.

Thank you!!

This is incredible! It's truly a plug and play guide for a book club. This is fantastic for a busy time of year where we don't have much time for planning.

Such a nice discussion booklet for the bookclub!

As for the book itself: The Nightmare Before Kissmas by Sara Raasch offers a festive and imaginative twist on holiday romance, blending elements of Christmas and Halloween into a unique narrative. The story follows Nicholas "Coal" Claus, the Prince of Christmas, who finds himself entangled in a complex situation involving an arranged marriage with his best friend, Iris, the Easter Princess, and an unexpected attraction to Hex, the Prince of Halloween.

Raasch's world-building is both whimsical and inventive, creating a realm where holiday figures are reimagined as royal entities with their own political intrigues. The chemistry between Coal and Hex is palpable, and their evolving relationship adds depth to the narrative. The author's writing style is engaging, with witty dialogue and heartfelt moments that resonate with readers.

However, some readers might find the plot's pacing uneven, with certain sections feeling rushed while others linger longer than necessary. Additionally, the blending of multiple holiday themes, while creative, may come across as overly ambitious, potentially leading to a less cohesive storyline.

Overall, The Nightmare Before Kissmas is a charming and festive read that brings a fresh perspective to holiday romances. Its unique premise and endearing characters make it a delightful addition to the genre, despite minor pacing issues.
