This is a really fun little booklet that sets up a fun evening for book club. The book is The Nightmare Before Kissmas, which I very much enjoyed.

They have everything covered, from snacks, to cocktails, to the playlist! There's even printable bookmarks that you can print and laminate yourself.

I would definitely be interested in seeing more of these for different books. They would really help someone who has never hosted to get a new book club off the ground!

This was an excellent book club guide. The food and drink suggestions were on point with the theme of the book. I love that there were printable bookmarks and game ideas. It really elevated the discussion experience.

Received an ARC for this and I laughed a lot in this book. There's a lot of humour in this book and such a fun concept. I was fully absorbed into this book and couldn't put it down. The characters are likeable and what an interesting storyline.

“You’re the heir of Christmas,” he says, barely contained. “I’m the heir of Halloween. How did you see this ending?”

"I’d have to learn to live without it. Without him. To be okay going back to grays and beiges when I now knew that the world could exist in magenta and aquamarine and violent auburn."

I will definitely be adding this book onto my shelf

This book club kit was so much fun! I host a monthly book club meeting virtually. Members suggested a holiday book for book club in December but I was hesitant, thinking there wouldn’t be much to discuss. Not only did the actual book provide a much deeper plot than we had expected, but the discussion questions led our book club to a discussion that lasted over an hour.

As this was my first Sara Raasch book, the author interview was also a great way for me to get to know a new to me author. And also provided me with more material to lead my book club with.

Kiss. Marry, Banish was a great way to wrap up our evening with fun and conversations about the holidays. Up next we plan to read Go Luck Yourself in March!

Thank you Netgalley for this...

I thought this was a book even with the word 'kit' in the title, but it was a holiday kit of a book I have not read, but I did enjoy seeing some of the questions, activities, and suggestions tho.

All the elements in this book club kit are so creative and lends it self well to a fun discussion on this equally fun book! I loved the interview with the author and the recipes for treats and drinks the most! Such a creative way to bring the holiday (combo of Halloween and Christmas) romance in this novel to the readers!

I am LOVING these kits that are out!

THE PUMPKIN BOOKMARK!!! And the drinks! It's too cute. Thank you for making my bookclub fun and exciting. I can't wait to host it this month!

I loved this kit. The organization and the graphics were beautiful and everything was very on theme with the two holidays represented.
the book was also fantastic!

The Book Club Kit was great and a fun resource for our book club.
I loved the author's interview and discussion questions. I loved listening to The Nightmare Before Kissmas and hope there will be another Book Club Kit for the next book.

I thought this was the book, which I absolutely loved, but it turned out to be a Book Club Kit. Still, the kit looks fantastic, and I’m excited to use it for discussions with my group!

What a mind-blowing kit!

I absolutely loved the author interview. It was like peeking behind the curtains! And let’s talk about those extra goodies, like the playlist and bookmarks—they're the cherry on top! This is my 1st kit from NetGalley, and I'm totally thrilled by the treasure trove of fun stuff. I can’t wait to share these with my Library’s Literary Society. I’m sure everyone’s gonna have a blast!

Thanks a million!

If you like gay romance, the holidays, and a silly story (but still enjoyable to read), then this book is for you.


Thank you NetGalley for my ARC copy!

I liked the worldbuilding and the different families for each Holiday. There is drama in the Christmas one and Coal wants to fix that. But his plans are disrupted by Hex.
The romance is quite fast but it didn’t bother me. I liked the characters and their relationship even if it’s not that much developed.
The dynamic between the characters is quite funny.
I might have liked to read Hex point of view.
It’s an adult romance, the characters are in their twenties and there are spicy scenes.

This is a very well written book. I now need to go buy the book now. It was a blessing to read this. I will be reading this author again

this was a great resource for bookclubs, great idea. loved the bookmarks, and the story. would definitely purchase one of these.

The Nightmare before Kissmas was my favorite book I read during 2024, so I was so excited to receive this book club kit. It’s filled with so many fun things from interview questions with the author to questions to answer with your book club and fun bookmarks to books to read next.

I can’t wait to read some of the books recommended (and the sequel to The Nightmare before Kissmas which comes out in march). Also, the playlist for this book had not one, but two (!) songs by my favorite band - Marianas Trench!

Great kit! I loved reading the author interview and getting to learn more about the creation of the book. I appreciate the contents of this kit with all of its extra materials like the playlist and bookmarks. This is the second kit I've seen from netgalley and love all the fun things included and not just having a simple list of discussion questions. However, I also appreciate the list of questions and I will be using these in the future. Thank you!

Really love that there are book club kits from the bookmarks and fun activity to do with the book, this is a really great ideal. Can't wait to see other book club kit for future books.

The Nightmare Before Kissmas is a fun and charming novel that brings a lot to the table. It’s cute, lighthearted, and filled with quirky characters that make the story even more enjoyable. I loved seeing such diverse and interesting characters throughout the book—they really brought the story to life. The dialogue was fun, and the pacing was quick, making it an easy and engaging read. I found myself laughing with joy at many parts of the book, which made the experience even more delightful. I’d definitely recommend this book to fellow readers, especially as a perfect way to kick off the holiday season. It’s a quick, entertaining read that will leave you smiling and in the holiday spirit!

I think this was the perfect book club resource kit. The bookmarks were a perfect fun little touch & I love when a playlist is included. It really helps get the vibes right. The activities & the “bites & sips” are such a creative way to make a book club meeting an immersive experience. I look forward to more of these.
