This book club kit was very well done! It was incredibly helpful in our book club discussions, The informative content, added context and the questions all helped facilitate our thoughts about the book. It was easier to get people communicating and sharing their thoughts when we had a base to start with.

Really useful document to assist in a book club discussion on a really great book. I have recommended

i actually didn't read it right and im kinda new at netgalley so i got this by mistake thinking it really was the book lol but it was actually really interesting and its going to be one of my next reads regardless and im a part of a book club so im definitely going to suggest the book and use the questions. also i loved the art inside!

I read Mexican Gothic for my book club last month so I thought it would be the perfect opportunity to check out this book club kit!
- The background information on the location and history was super interesting.
- The Spotify playlist was legitimately very creepy and definitely fit the vibe of the book.
- While I was reading the book, I thought Noemi’s outfits sounded really cool so I enjoyed being able to actually see what they looked like with the Noemi paper dolls included in the kit.
- My only complaint is that the questions were a bit generic. The conversation my book club ended up having without the prompts were a lot more in depth but it was nice to fall back on the questions when we weren’t sure what to say.
Normally I make up my own questions or do some research on the book before a book club meeting, so I enjoyed not having to worry about any of that. If my book club decides to read another book that has a book club kit, I would for sure try another one!

How fun is this book club kit! I'm excited to read Mexican Gothic especially after all the background the author shared about its significance. The activity of dressing up Noami takes me back to my childhood. I loved activities like that!

Great kit to help organise your book club discussions. Mexican Gothic is definitely a good book to read and discuss.

This is an excellent book club kit that I would recommend for any book club. The discussion questions are great, and any group would benefit from them.

i'm surprised with this book. I think talk about this book is the better way to understand how great it is.

The “Mexican Gothic” book club kit is a fantastic resource for a book club for both the younger and older audiences. The amount of thought that went into this kit by the author Silvia Moreno-Garcia can clearly be seen in the attention to detail of the various components- from the killer playlist (which I now have downloaded to listen to), to the “Dress Up Noemí” section which brought me back to my childhood!

Particularly interesting was the discussion questions which would shape a very interesting book club meeting. The letter from the author section really provided an insight into what inspired Silvia to write this book and the historical context for the novel.

The themes that are prevalent throughout the novel such as the exploitation of the indigenous people, slavery, patriarchal superiority are all mentioned in this kit, really helping to guide and shape a reader and book club organiser’s interests when reading “Mexican Gothic”.

I loved the inclusion of the article comparing Gothic Romances and Domestic Noirs which I think would add a more advanced level to a book club discussion (this would be of particular interest for a college/university class/module on literature).

A wonderful kit designed to enhance the reading of “Mexican Gothic” for any reader.

Thank you to NetGalley, Silvia Moreno-Garcia and Penguin Random House Library Resources for giving me the opportunity to read and enjoy this kit!

A really good tool for Book Clubs! This helps provide extra information and context to the novel, as well as acting as a guide for Book Club discussions.

This is a unique book club kit, with a focus on providing historical context for the novel. The kit includes several articles with more information, a letter from the author, book club questions, and a paper doll activity with historically accurate fashions. The weakest part of this kit was the book club questions, which were mostly "how did you feel/did you like x?" questions, but it's definitely worth looking at for the other information.

Book Club Kit: Mexican Gothic

Thank you Penguin publishers and Netgalley for approval of this book.
I loved the questions and discussion ideas to discuss the famous book with my bookish friends.

I heard nothing but good things about this book. I totally enjoyed the story and i think it lived upto the hype. It’s was a little bit mystery, mixed with supernatural elements.

Really useful for the book club but even for those that need guidance reviewing a book. I really liked the book and this made me reflect on it more.

Oh man, I downloading this thinking it was the actual book. Sad day. I got too excited and downloaded it super fast without reading what it actually contained.

Apologies wasn't aware this is not the book. Looking for to reading it at some point since it sounds fantastic

It's no wonder this book was optioned by Milojo Productions and set up to be a limited series at Hulu. It's dark, incredible atmospheric, gothic and cerebral. I can't wait to watch this series and compare to the plot of the book, hopefully Noemi holds up as a strong character that we can all root for. Minus one star because I did feel like the story stalled there in the middle with a lot of action in the last 50 pages, but there are a lot of writers guilty of the same pacing.

Cute tie-in with a paper doll and everything. Book clubs would enjoy this. I appreciate it isn’t simply a list of high school English class questions, but rather a collection meant to provoke thought and promote discussion.

This was not the book as expected so not sure how to review it. I cannot use the bookclub kit without reading the book.

This was really interesting. I thought it included the book- my mistake-but reading the material convinced me I needed to get the book. The details were fascinating.
