This was a great book club kit! The artwork is so engaging and the information is presented in a fun yet accessible format. It highlights the theme of the book and is so bright and attractive.

I really enjoyed the NetGalley The Nightmare Before Kissmas book club packet. It starts by warning us that there are spoilers within. It goes over content warnings, a note to the readers, an author interview, discussion questions, PRINTABLE BOOKMARKS, “Bites & Sips” for your book club meeting, including RECIPES. There is a playlist curated by the author, activities, “Kiss, Marry, Banish” match-ups and more. As a member of a monthly book club, I truly hope these book club packets are the wave of the future. Thank you #WeAreBookish !

This book, ah. So, if you haven't really embraced Christmas yet, may I offer you this entertaining mashup of Halloween and Christmas? Hex is the prince of Halloween, and Coal is the prince of Christmas. Coal made me think of Alex from Red White and Royal Blue, which is a great book if you enjoyed that one. I was occasionally in stitches reading this book because it was so funny. I had so much fun and was laughing uncontrollably. The one-liners are so brilliant that I genuinely believe the author must be a comic by day. A small misunderstanding occurred, but it was resolved amicably, and I appreciated how it was handled (like grownups). Additionally, I really liked that the Characters were whole individuals who displayed a wide range of emotions. For instance, Coal experienced a range of emotions throughout the novel, including glee, excitement, worry, and anxiety. He was simply amazing. Because the author helped me identify with the characters, I developed empathy for them and found myself cheering them on. An amazing experience to read. This one, then, lives up to the hype. You should read this book as soon as possible if you enjoyed RWRB or The Nightmare Before Christmas. Get it right now; don't put it off.
Thank you @netgalley and @sararaasch for this opportunity

This is a great kit. My book club really enjoyed the interactive activities and discussion questions. I will definitely be using another book club kit in the future.

This download wasn't the book contents, so I cant comment of the story. However I enjoyed getting to see some more inside information about this story and the author interview was fun as well! I look forward to picking this book up as well.

Oh, I loved this so much! I absolutely devoured the book, then to see this available, I definitely needed it. Though short and sweet, the author interview gave so much insight, adding more meaning to parts of the book I adored.

The bookmarks are too cute and I’m so excited to use them and share with friends to convince them to read this too! This whole kit was so well put together and thought provoking, with fun activities and recipes than can be used for lovers of The Nightmare Before Kissmass, and just lovers of the holidays. Thank you so much!

I read The Nightmare Before Kissmas with a friend and thought I’d check out this kit to see if it would enhance our reading experience. I expected a few discussion questions but not a whole lot more and was actually kind of blown away by all the extras that were included!

There are discussion questions, of course, but also an author interview, four printable bookmarks (and they’re actually cool!), a Spotify playlist, and book-themed recipes and activities.

It’s really neat, and if you have a book club, there’s more than enough content in this kit to have a fun little party based on the book. Or, have a party by yourself. There are no rules!

This was super cute and fun. Though I had no idea what I was getting myself into! There isn’t much else to say other than that.

Great kit!! Looking forward to using this with my buddy read group. We’ve been looking forward to this one and I’m looking forward to reading the rest of the series.

Every year in December, I convince myself that it'll be fun to read a bunch of holiday rom-coms. Then, as I slowly start turning into the Grinch, I remember that I don't actually enjoy most Christmas romances. Yet, here I am giving a holiday rom-com 5 stars?! I'm just as confused as anyone! This was so cute and funny. I literally laughed out loud a few times! I also seriously adored the characters.

I absolutely adored the Nightmare Before Kissmas, and this book club kit has everything you need to have a fun and festive discussion! With author discussion and questions you get a deeper look into the background of the story. The games, food and drink ideas give an even more thorough evening.

Didn't realize this wasn't actually the book until after I requested the download, so I wasn't able to use it.

Very cool for any one starting a book club. It gives you discussions but also crafts, entertainment, and recipes which makes a great gathering. For a popular book at this season it is a must if you want to take it easy form planning your book club itinerary. Hope ever is taking advantage of this.

The book club kit is fantastic! There's so much information and things to do, and there's something in it for everyone!

The Nightmare Before Kissmas is such a fun and campy romance novel. It’s the perfect kind of book to read during the winter holiday season. I will be selecting this book for my book club’s December read at the library I work at. This Book Club Kit will be perfect for it! I can’t wait for the next book in the series “Go Luck Yourself”.
