As someone who used to moderate an in-person book club (pre-pandemic) I can attest to the fact that moderating the book discussion is the most trying part of the process. Either you find yourself with a book that comes with its own kit included, or you're forced to comb back through hundreds of pages looking for suitable content.

With the former, you run the risk of posing deeply subjective questions about symbolism and thematic elements that many readers may overlook when trying to read on a deadline.

With the latter, the primary struggle is keeping the content engaging. Especially for the DNFs (Did-Not-Finishers) of the group. And every group I've participated in has at least one.

The nice thing about the Book Club Kit for All My Rage by Sabaa Tahir is that it gives you multiple directions to choose from to maximize engagement. You have your standard author interview and reader questions (with plenty to choose from) AS WELL AS a playlist and recipes.

17 years in the making, it is clear that All My Rage is Sabaa Tahir's passion project right down to the very last. If you are looking to reengage your book club or start a new one I would suggest using this kit as a template for all of your future meets.

[Thank you NetGalley and We Are Bookish for a free copy of this book club kit in exchange for an honest review!]

An awesome tool to use for book club. I particularly like the addition of a song playlist. My group was small but we found that the questions allowed us to reflect back on the book and think more critically about it.

What a beautifully made and thorough book club kit. Includes an author interview, recipes, discussion questions and a playlist for All My Rage by Sabaa Tahir. Great for YA librarians, teachers, or teen book clubs who want some help planning an event for the book, structuring discussion, and more.

I thought this was a very helpful kit! I loved all the different components to it. It was great to read a letter from the author and have discussion questions, but my favorite parts were the details that help bring the book into my life: the playlist, recipes, and other suggested books. The combination of those three things extends the world of All My Rage and let’s me live in it for a bit.

I really liked the questions you choose to ask the club the interview was great and I really like the extra touch of the choosing which bookmarks they would like.
Enjoyed the extra touch of The recipes.
I have to rate this as a 4 star all the way . I would definitely use this for a book club or if I was on the other side of participating in the book club not hosting it, My expectations were definitely met. Any book club reviewing this book would benefit from this kit a lot of online book club just ask basic question about the book this kit would make me feel proud to use and I would be great full to use this kit

Such a beautiful kit to go with an incredibly powerful book. All My Rage is an absolutely superb book, and this book club kit provides some wonderful insights from the author, an interview; some discussion questions, delicious recipes, and of course my personal favorite, a playlist! This will be a really fun and insightful kit to go along with any book club discussions.

Even though I am not a member of a book club, I found this Kit useful for further exploring the book. The playlist and recipe sections are a nice touch.

So often I have to assemble all the elements I need for our school book club meetings. Questions at the back always make my job a bit easier, although they give the students a heads up on what I will be asking and we will be discussing. I love that this kit is a supplement not included in the book, and that not only does it contain questions to consider, but that it takes the extra step of work out for me by offering an Author Interview, a Note from the Author, and comp YA and Adult titles. The bookmarks are a bonus, but the fact that it is prepackaged, signed off by the author, and contains elements I ALWAYS have to seek out, makes it a great addition to the book, thank you, and thank you for sharing it here on Netgalley.

"I’ll survive this. I’ll live. But there’s a hole in me, never to be filled. Maybe that’s why people die of old age. Maybe we could live forever if we didn’t love so completely. But we do. And by the time old age comes, we’re filled with holes, so many that it’s too hard to breathe. So many that our insides aren’t even ours anymore. We’re just one big empty space, waiting to be filled by the darkness. Waiting to be free."⁣⁣

Brief summary⁣⁣
A love story, a tragedy and an infectious teenage fever dream about what home means when you feel you don't fit in. A brilliant, unforgettable, and heart-wrenching contemporary YA novel about family and forgiveness, love and loss, in a sweeping story that crosses generations and continents.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
All My Rage was devastating. These characters leapt off the page and I could feel their pain. The audio had alternating narrators and both did an absolutely amazing job. This one totally lived up to the hype! ⁣⁣

I hit the literary jackpot for this book. I had the physical book from @penguinteen , the amazing audio ALC from @librofm , AND a book club kit from @netgalley that contained bookmarks, a letter from the author, recipes, discussion questions (which I especially appreciated because when I host books I usually come up with my own), and more! Thank you to all, what an experience this made.

I run a book club at my local school so always appreciate any new material. Having already read this book I was excited to download this pack to use in one of my sessions. This book club pack was one of the better ones I’ve seen. The added bonus of the book marks will go down a treat & the authors discussion questions are something I’ve not seen in many other packs before. It definitely helps to engage the kids when you have a pack like this which clearly has a lot of thought put into it. I’m new to the online reviewing world so thankyou for making this available to so many of us for free.
