This Book Club Kit for By The Book is a game-changer for anyone looking to elevate their book club experience. It’s packed with insightful discussion questions, fun activities, and even personalized book recommendations—everything you need to spark lively conversations and keep your group engaged. The materials are beautifully designed and easy to use, making both virtual and in-person meetings feel seamless.

What I loved most about this book club kit was the cover design interview. We loved the cover so much, it was fun to read and get inside the author's thoughts with this process. We liked the quote that was on the printable bookmark also. Generating our pen names was fun also, and were able to pick our next book club read from the "More from Jasmine Guillory" section.

Thank you Disney Publishing Worldwide for sponsoring this kit and We Are Bookish for creating this kit! This amazing incentive from NetGalley and the publisher comes with interesting discussion questions, recipes for food and drinks, printable bookish books and bookmarks with tons of other amazing resources!

Books about books are always a win, and this one adds even more—it’s a rom-com, a fairytale retelling, and a story that celebrates reading. That combo is pretty irresistible. The Beauty and the Beast references were done in such a sweet and clever way, which is tricky to pull off, but this book nailed it. That said, while I was hooked at the start, the pace started to lose me later on. Could’ve been a reading slump, could’ve been the book—but either way, it didn’t quite keep the same spark all the way through. Still, the concept was a dream!
Absolutely loved the kit tho!

This was so cute, I really enjoyed the author interview and as an unpublished author the writing prompst and advice were highly appreciated. More books should have kits like this.

Although I had issues with the source material, I loved this kit!
The format is easy to use, and the materials really add depth to the reading experience. I will definitely be using these kits in future.

This is so cool! I admittedly don't have a book club (though I'm looking into starting one through my local library), but I recently picked up this romance for some Spring reading. I wasn't expecting much from these book club kits, but wow! This included EVERYTHING... from discussion questions to interviews with the author and cover designer, to a cocktail recipe and ideas for snacks. I can totally see how this kit would help you streamline a book club meeting and make it more meaningful. I'll definitely be keeping an eye on these kits moving forward!
