While planning for an upcoming book club discussion, this kit has proved extremely useful. The discussion questions are great as is the literary background section. We cannot wait to show the paper dolls to our participants!

This book club kit was very useful for our little online book club. A great way for us to find questions to use to talk about the book.

I really liked this book because it gave a lot of discussion questions that help us more deeply understand the book. The author even included a Spotify playlist! Moreno-Garcia included a lot of background history of the book and gothic stories. There's even a DIY paper doll of Noemi that you can dress up! I loved dressing up paper dolls when I was younger. Overall, the book was very informative and a fun read.

This kit is so inventive! I usually only think of discussion questions when I think of a book club kit. This had so much more! I loved the author’s detailed explanation of the background of the location. There was also such interesting information about the disappearance of gothic novels. That alone could easily spark a ton of conversation. Add in the Spotify play list and the paper dolls and now this kit has become a MUST for reading groups discussing Mexican Gothic.

Absolutely loved this! I used the kit in our online book group and we all thought the questions are well thought trough and relevant to the story.
We had a discussion about the book before hand and now we did a new discussion based on the kit. Really wonderful to see we went far deeper into the book than in our first discussion.

I loved this !!! I run an Online book club on Facebook called Between The Covers, so this was absolutely perfect for discussion. I also liked the playlist and the images at the end reminded me of paper dolls I used to play with. Very cute.

I'm annoyed that there wasn't any info saying this kit did not include the novel. All the kits I know include the novel.
Nevertheless, I finished the book. Coming to the kit, it was interesting to know that the story is based on irl events and the place. I also loved reading the piece on how Gothic Romance fizzled out and how it blossomed the present day Domestic Noir.
The discussion questions could've been better. I have yet to try the playlist and all the illustrations of the dresses were just how I imagined them!

This will be an awesome edition to ultimately take my obsession to the next level. This was just for me but it will definitely enhance my reading experience.

I’m super excited for this!

Pros: Although Mexican Gothic is very popular with readers, is was not one of my favorite books. When I saw this book club kit on NetGalley, I was interested to read the discussion questions and see what else was included in the kit. I really enjoyed reading the author's letter to readers and wished I had known this background when I read the book. The playlist and paper dolls are unique things that I haven't seen in a book club kit before--what great ideas! I loved seeing the clothing imagined for Noemi. When I chose to read Mexican Gothic, it was because gothic novels are one of my favorite genres, and I appreciated that this guide included information about the gothic novel and this author's take on the genre.

Cons: The discussion questions in this kit were pretty surface level. However, the rest of the kit really makes up for the discussion questions.

I was not aware about such kits earlier ! This was really amazing and I really appreciate that Spotify playlist 💜

Thank you Netgalley and publisher for giving me this book kit! This is an extra material about the book "Mexican Gothic", and it covers some historical look from the author, Silvia Moreno-Garcia, some questions that deepen the discussions about the book and an interesting playlist to accompany the reading (so many great songs)!

I really enjoyed this post-addition to the great Mexican Gothic by Silvia Moreno-Garcia. I loved the way she introduced the historical past and tragic events that occurred in the silver mine booming days of Mexico during the occupation of the Spaniards and later the British mining conglomerates. She also did a lot of research on the history of the gothic novel during its various incarnations during the last several decades.. It was a treat for me to read since I loved the book so much, I finished it in one day. The tension and horror in the nove simply built up bit by bit to a resounding climax. My thanks to Net Galley for this wonderful addition to a fantastic novel.

I thought this was a nice enough book club kit. The questions were good for inciting discussion and the Spotify playlist was a great addition. Lovely for playing in the background while hosting your book club or even while reading the book itself. The paper doll dress-up set was also nice, although I don't know how much it would be utilized in actual practice

I love these Book Club Kits! I find them very helpful even though I don't always read the book as part of a book club. It helps me think deeper about the book than I otherwise would have done!! I've also found them useful in the review process because the questions provided spur on additional thought about certain areas of the book.

Thank you for providing this book club kit! This is so much fun, the questions are so interesting, and all the extras are going to be really useful. Can't wait to use this with my book club.

So this was a fun, little addition to this runaway best-seller! I will repeat though, this does NOT include the actual novel. But what a great resource to make reading this book with your book club so much more immersive!

I was not very familiar with these kits, but I really liked the organization of the questions and the layout is very well done aesthetically and for easy reference. This one is extra special with a Spotify playlist and paper dolls with costumes and author essay. Great resource for book clubs or for anyone looking for a fuller, more immersive experience!

It was very interesting thing to read.
Ihaven't read the book yet (Mexican Ghotic) but it was interesting the things the author said about the background of the book.
I hope I can read it soon.

Thank you so much for this ! very nice addition to book club night with the girl! Thanks again so much for making a pulled together kit like this it makes it really simple for discussions.

This is a supplemental material for the book, Mexican Gothic, providing more context for the book. Thank you to the publisher and NetGalley for making this available.
