Eine coole Idee, aber vielleicht nicht unbedingt nötig. Deswegen werde ich es auch nicht weiter empfehlen, außer, ich kenne wen der sich weiter mit dem Buch auseinandersetzen will.
I felt as though this book club kit came with some wonderful questions. I think something that could have made it more intriguing would be to put the discussion questions before the interview with the author. Some questions were similar to those asked during the interview and I find it to be more engaging to discuss as a group before diving into what the author wanted to get across.
I also loved the what to read/watch after finishing because I feel like you only get book recommendations for books and movies for movies.
This book is so original. Lots of twist and dark and a little disturbing. Lots of different relationships and the girls doing what they can to survive. Definitely a good read.
This was a greate addition to our bookclub with staff from the bookshop. We are looking forward to Netgalley adding more of these in the future if they will
I honestly was a bit worried about what the menu was going to be here (having read the book) but this is brilliant! This book club kit has me wanting to do an immediate reread. I also love the suggestions at the end - I've read two of the books and seen one of the shows, so the recommendations are spot-on!
The Book Club Kit: Wilder Girls by Rory Power offers a thrilling and eerie reading experience, set in an isolated boarding school where a mysterious illness, known as the Tox, ravages the students and faculty. The novel follows three girls—Hetty, Byatt, and Reese—whose lives are transformed by this horrifying contagion. Power’s writing excels in creating a chilling atmosphere of dread, suspense, and uncertainty. Themes of survival, friendship, and body horror are explored in depth. The Kit provides discussion questions, author insights, and engaging activities, making it an excellent tool for book clubs to dive deeper into the novel's complex layers.
This is the best book club kit I've seen so far!
The questions, the playlist, the buzzfeed-esque questionnaires are all amazing!
this was one of the more unique YA books I've read recently and I loved how it didn't shy away from the brutality of what was happening. there was also a cool stylistic choice with the writing that I think worked really well and added to the creepy vibe.
I am seriously OBSESSED with this book club kit!!! It has author interview pages, discussion question pages, good ideas, read next ideas, games…. So many fun things to use with the book!! The water bottle labels were perfect as were the quizzes!
The concept of a book club kit is great but it caters more to in-person book clubs! I host a virtual book club through Discord so it's harder to incorporate the ideas in the book. A suggestion would be to create a section dedicated to virtual groups as they are far more common nowadays!
Thank you NetGalley for providing me an e-arc. When I first picked up this book I thought it sounded just amazing. I wanted so much more from this book and I found myself rather disappointed with the ending. It started really well and then personally just went downhill from there.
I love these Book Club Kits and especially the ones that include an interview with the author. I am impressed with how well thought out these book club kits are. They always include really great extras, like the videos and the bookmarks. I think they're a great resource for a book club to use. The included discussion questions are perfect for encouraging deeper exploration of the book's characters and themes, and I loved how Netgalley began including this in request. Will definitely use in the near future with my very own book club.
The author interview is great and I really appreciate the extras included with this kit. I imagine things like quizzes, recipes, and playlist suggestions would really enliven the book club experience.
I love this book club kit, it really has everything you could possibly need to run a successful book club!
This is brilliant, the first book review package I've come across that is so comprehensive and inclusive of creative thought, moving away from the traditional chairs-in-a-circle, same-old-discussions echo chamber of a book club. With a variety of prompts to encourage independent thought and creative avenues to follow themed interaction (like themed recipes), this has been well thought out as a resource to empower bookish people to get involved after the last pages close,
There's often a debate about how much autonomy the writer has in the opinions we form, when they publish a book to the public world, can they control the original personalities of the characters they conjured? Having an author interview included helps to mitigate these and bring yet another perspective.
It would be nice to see some aspects of the audiobook version, such as the voices expected of the characters and the impact the audio had too but overall this is a comprehensive pack that really brings the book to life beyond its pages.
Very helpful book club kit! The slides are beautifully laid out, with an author interview and a useful discussion guide. I am so excited to be able to use it with my little book club.
Great guide for discussing Wilder Girls which I personally enjoyed reading. Very helpful for my book club!
Thank you Netgalley and thank you always to We are Bookish. Another great reading guide, as always. Love the unique playlists.
The author interview was very interesting and thought-provoking, especially when discussing the female characters in the novel. I liked the printable elements, it makes everything more fun and also they seem easy to use since they are pre-made. The quiz was my favorite part, I think it can make the readers even more invested in the novel's themes!
Very helpful to encourage conversation. Will certainly be using more of these in the future at book clubs. Easy to access for a quick read over and straight forward
