This whole thing was so cute! I enjoyed the authors interview portion. It was a good look into their brain which you don’t normally get. The questions are good. I feel like sometimes in book club you need to keep the ball rolling and those could help. The bookmarks are so cute! Love the recipes. The quiz! Omg that takes me back. Love it! The mystery thing could be fun but I don’t think my book club would do that. Always love a good book rec.

I love everything this includes! Drinks, questions, bookmarks!!! Every book should have something like this for book clubs!

Great bookclub kit for a fun and cozy mystery featuring Dorothy, Blanche, Rose, and Sophia.

Looking forward to grabbing a cheesecake and my book club ladies for a fun meeting!

5/5 stars — Calling all book club girlies and Golden Girls fans!
This printable book club kit for Murder by Cheesecake was adorable, easy to use, and packed with everything we needed — discussion questions, an author interview, and more!
It made our book chat even more fun and brought all the cozy mystery vibes.
If your club loves cozy reads or you’re a fan of the Golden Girls, this kit is the perfect extra touch. Highly recommend!

This book club kit is adorable! I loved all the fun details, especially the Golden Girls vibe. Reading Rachel’s interview was such a treat — I’m so excited there’s another book coming! The discussion questions were great, and the printable bookmarks are such a cute bonus. I’m new to book club kits, but now I’m completely hooked!

The book club kit is very cute, I loved the details and the real feel of Golden Girls. Something that's also made me like the book extra, but that's not the point of the review. I never seen a book club kit before, sorry I'm new in town, but I guess I am ruined now.

This book club kit was so cute and fun! I really loved the printable bookmarks, they were SO cute!! I also loved all the other small details that were included in the kit.

This book club kit is so cute! I loved reading the interview with Rachel, especially to find out there'll be a NEXT BOOK 😍😍😍 YES PLEASE.

The discussion questions are thoughtful and the bookmarks are such a cute touch! Can't wait to print some of them out!

So, I received a digital copy of the Book Club Kit for the book "Murder by Cheesecake," a Golden Gurls cozy murder mystery by Rachel Ekstrom Courage. #NetGalley #MurderbyCheesecakeBookClubKit

This Book Club kit looks like a fun way to discuss this book with your friends (or fellow wedding guests, in-laws, murder suspects, or total strangers barricaded in a bookstore). It includes a short interview with the author about her experience and motivations for writing the book.

The kit includes group discussion prompts about both the plot of the book and how the members of the discussion would act in a similar scenario (favorite question: Would you rather plan a last-minute wedding or solve a murder?).

The kit also had some fun extras, to include some printable bookmarks related to the book, recipes for party drinks and cheesecake, some "minute-mystery" party games, and recommendations for other books you might like if you enjoyed this book, plus the assorted advertisements for other works from the publisher.

If you have a book club or a group of friends who might enjoy the book, I'd recommend getting a hold of this book club kit and make a party out of it.

I absolutely loved this book club kit!! Our book club typically meets at a home for food and drinks so this kit combines everything you need to have a fun evening. Love that there are discussion provoking questions that are tradition to most book clubs but also fun activities like the quiz and the “solve the murder” game. The recipes sound delicious and the bookmarks are a super cute addition!

This is the cutest set! It’s perfect for book club. Notes from the author, printable book marks, fun recipes, ideas for what to read next! What more could a “ golden girl “ ask for!

Thank you NetGalley and We Are Bookish for the Murder by Cheesecake Book Club Kit. I absolutely loved it! The goodies, the recipes, the games, and the questions were all absolutely perfect. We had so much fun with this book and with this kit!! It was my first Book Club Kit and I will definitely be looking for more!!!

I think this is a perfect addition to book club! The bookmarks make my day and honestly they are the cutest! I love the golden girls so this just is ideal for me and my club!

I thought this was the actual novel not just the media kit. The way it looked on the website made me think I was requesting the actual novel that the media kit is for

This is a adorableBook Club kit! It’s great to use for Book Club or to even do alone after you’ve read the book!

This was my first book club kit that I requested and it was such a great addition. The recipes are my favorite part. They made it all fit together and fun. The questions were also thought provoking and the bookmarks matched the book perfectly.

Rating: 4/5 stars
Genre: Cozy Mystery / Nostalgic Fiction
This book was an absolute treat—pun intended! Murder by Cheesecake brings our favorite Golden Girls back to life with a whip-smart mystery full of sass, sweetness, and just the right amount of suspense.

Set in sunny Miami, the story kicks off when Dorothy’s date ends up face-down in a cheesecake during a St. Olaf-themed wedding (yes, you read that right), and suddenly the girls are back in sleuthing mode. Each character feels so true to the original show—Rose is adorably clueless, Sophia is as sharp as ever, Blanche brings the drama, and Dorothy’s deadpan wit steals the show.

The humor is pitch-perfect, the mystery kept me flipping pages, and the warm, familiar energy of the Golden Girls made it feel like coming home. There were a few predictable turns, but honestly? I didn’t mind one bit. It’s comfort-reading at its finest—with murder and cheesecake on the side.

If you’re a fan of cozy mysteries or just miss these four fabulous ladies, this one’s for you!

This is fun! I love the bookmarks!!! I didn't read the discussion questions very carefully because I was afraid of spoilers. This is one I do intend to read, but It is not at the top of the TBR.

The note to readers section at the beginning references spoiler and content warnings—there’s also a link to the story graph page for the book in order to see a more comprehensive list of content warnings. The author interview was fun to read, followed up by some excellent discussion questions to include in your book club meeting and some space for members to write their own questions. The bookmarks included were actually pretty amusing to me, though I didn’t love the look of them. As usual here, we have some recipes for drinks and food to include. What was most exciting abut this kit, though, was the inclusion of a quiz and a minute mystery to solve together—I wish they’d included a few more of these. Finally, we have some read next suggestions included at the end.

This little kit is so cute! I love the bookmarks and recipes. The quiz was fun. I also appreciated all the book recommendations.
