This was so interesting. This was a very different way to get more background on a book, and i really wasn't sure how i would like it in the start, i have to say if i see more of these i will defiantly try and get them. The interviews were my favorite part by far.
Thank you NetGalley for the ARC of this Book Club Kit

Having the author interview in this book club kit helped to bring me further into the world of the book. I like being able to see what the author has to say about their characters, world, and writing process. Giving writing tips is the perfect way to get future authors further involved in writing.

This book club kit was a great compliment to By the Book. I most enjoyed the interiew with author Jasmine Guillory - it added a behind-the-scenes feel, and provided a great launching pad for book club discussion. I also thought that the Charceteurie How Tos were a fun addition.

3 Stars! If The Shoe Fits was a cute and fun read.
Thank you to Julie Murphy, We Are Bookish, and NetGalley for this ARC in exchange for an honest review.

Thank you for this Book Club Kit! I don't typically use these but found this one fun and helpful in encouraging thought provoking discussing. Thank you!!

As a Disney fan myself, I was super excited to get the chance to see what Jasmine Guillory's thoughts were about this story. My friends and I loved this kit and the discussion questions were a great way to get us thinking more deeply about the story. My favorite part of this kit was the pen name generator. I also loved the book recommendations at the end of the kit. I am always looking for more romance recs so being able to get some insight about what is new is always helpful. I loved this book club kit and it really enhanced the experience of the story so much for me.

LOVE ANYTHING JAMINE GUILLORY WRITES💗💗💗💗

Elliot is co-owner with Irma, co-owner of the neighborhood independent bookstore. Elliot dies unexpectedly so Irma decides to sell the bookstore. Her daughters are upset when they hear that the bookstore is going to be sold as they spent happy hours there as children. Thom, Elliot’s romantic partner is upset about the bookstore being put up for sale too. Thom and Irma’s daughters decide to work together to stop the sale of the bookstore, each for their own reasons. Will they be able to stop the sale of the bookstore?

The author has written a book that includes eccentric characters and energetic relationships. There is humor throughout the story which I enjoyed. It includes the importance of family and friends relationship. I enjoyed Elliot’s recommendations for “real” books to read. I think I will be reading some of them. It’s a feel-good novel to read.

You won’t regret it.

Since it is for the book club , the material as such was fun to read. The additional stuff including the interview of the writer and other book suggestions were all good.

This kit has so many resources. I loved the warning and the insight into the author and why the cover was designed the way it was. I enjoyed the recipes and suggestions. An I loved the book marks.

Always love the extras! Thanks so much! Author Q&A’s are so fun and interesting to read, and the bookmarks were such a cute touch! I printed it off and laminated it so it is in my paperback copy!

I love Jasmine Guillory’s work! ‘By the Book’ was so good and I had to check out this book club kit. Fun kit that has prompts and other suggested reading. Love when authors do fun extras like this!

I was finally able to get my hands on a copy of By the Book by Jasmine Guillory and I absolutely loved it! This book club kit is a perfect companion to the book and asks some really great questions as well as having an authors interview, what to read next and some fun exercises as well. I definitely recommend this kit to discuss with family, friends, book club, or even just asking yourself these questions! It’s also very visually compelling and put together very nicely.

This was such a fun and clever idea to add helpful ideas and discussion topics for the book. I really liked this and thought it gave more depth to the book itself.

By The Book by Jasmine Guillory

By the Book is a retelling of Beauty and the Beast but in modern time. Izzy, works in the publishing world and even thought she thinks it’s her dream job she is realizing is not a dream any longer.

Beau can be annoying, rude and unpleasant. Things change when Izzy decided to help him finish his book and stay in his Santa Barbara home. Things turn around when they get to know each other and spend time… Izzy realizes that he is different than what he portrays.

Their sessions turn into a friendship and a romance they didn’t think could happen. The way they help each other find themselves and their voice is special.

Although I love Disney stories and love The Beauty and the Beast I don’t enjoy retells as much. I feel like even though they are modernized, they lose that touch all the stories have. I did enjoy the book and the story line and I’m looking into her other books as well.

Do you enjoy the Disney original books or do you enjoy a retell as well?

Thank you @netgalley and Hyperion for the ARC

Thanks for helping me lead my book club for this book! Loved the charcuterie board suggestions, I will be preparing us lots of snacks!

This brought good topics and activities to do with a book club that will be fun and have everyone enjoying them. Cute bookmarks were included, loved that! And I loved the extra books to read next based on book type.
