The playlist included in this kit was pretty cool, as were the paper dolls. The questions could have been more in depth with the story.

I loved the additional historical context and the inclusion of the writers thoughts in this kit. The paper doll was also a cute and creative choice. Overall, I liked the kit, though I wish that the discussion questions had been more thought provoking and less generic. I will be using elements of this to discuss the book in my book club.

This amazing book is on our book club's to-read list, and I'm taking full advantage of this incredibly helpful Book Club Kit. A fine resource!

Thanks to the author, publisher, and NetGalley for the ARC.

Opinions are mine.

Great questions for an awesome book. I used them as topics for discussion when having a book club discussion.

The questions posed in here are thought provoking. It's great for a book club discussion. Without giving anything away in Mexican Gothic, I will say that I think fans of the book will love the discussions to be had brought by the book club kit.

I opened this because I had read Mexican gothic for a book club two months ago and wanted to see how the discussion questions differed from the ones that we had used. I appreciated all of the additional resources and activities that were included.

This isn’t actually the book it’s just the book club guide with a bunch of cool guiding questions. I didn’t realize and I haven’t read the book. The questions and information I read at the start from the author seemed helpful but I didn’t read the whole thing because I haven’t read the book. I should have read the description more carefully.

Thanks to 'we are bookish' for this aid kit for a discussion questions about the Mexican gothic by Salvia Moreno Garcia. It helped me so much in questioning the book and looking at it from a critic point of view.

i picked this up thinking it was the book, my bad for not fully reading the title of the item. this seems like a nice accessory to a book club to help with discussion, but not for me.

This book haunted me! Like truly, hours after reading I lay thinking about the vibe!

If you love a slow burn, a moody atmosphere and unreliable characters, this is your book!

Noemi was a character I was unsure of, at times wondering if we were experiencing her move to “High Place” a Mexican manor in real time, or her perception in her mind. Noemi after all is high class, a party girl if you will, so moving a Mexican gothic home immediately turns her colorful world dark and dank.

At High Place she meets her cousin and new family, all with suspense. Why is everyone acting so strangely?

I knew almost nothing going into this book and really enjoyed the twists because of it.

Important topics need the right guide that helps them be discussed, and I can't wait to do that with my book club and our first book of the new year!

Thanks to Penguin Random House Library Resources and NetGalley, who provided me with a copy of this book in exchange for an honest opinion.

This book only contains character pictures and guides on what to review from the original book. If you haven't read the book I do not think you want this one. Because it doesn't contain any story about the book. But it is a really like the tittle, book club kit to talk about Mexican Gothic. Uf you really love Mexican Gothic and you have read the book, it will add insight into the world in the story of the Mexican Gothic book such as the dress that the mc wears on the story and how the mc figure, it surely help you to imagine what the book is but if you haven't read the book you might not want to know this at first.

A bewitching modern Gothic novel, a very entertaining and deliciously creepy story. A wild read, 100% worth your time.

The Book Club questions felt basic and not at all incisive. If this was my book club book. I would want to write my own set of questions. Giving it three stars though as the paper doll idea is fun.

I came across this book club kit at the perfect time: our staff book club at the public library I work at chose this title to read. The discussion questions were well thought out and added to our group discussion. Everyone enjoyed learning more about the historical details provided, not just about Mexico, but also Gothic stories. This was a great addition to our book club!

So excited to read Mexican Gothic and follow the book kit! This is gonna be a great reread, as Mexican Gothic was already a spectacular book, but I am so excited to start following along with the playlist and the questions.
