This was such a great read. I can’t put my finger on it but it reminded me of a show I used to watch h years ago.
It was mysterious, suspenseful and down right exceptional .

Okay, I have to admit… this is definitely one of my favorite kits.
I love that vintage vibe with a perfect mix of bloody and sweet.
The recipes? I have to try them ASAP!
The quiz was really fun, and the Minute Mysteries? I absolutely loved them!!
And I’ve already taken note of all the recommendations.
You really nailed it with this one!

Golden Girls meets HOW TO GET AWAY WITH MURDER... I truly enjoyed this read, and had to force my non-reader bestie who's a HUGE Golden Girl fan to read this, and it made for a GREAT BUDDY Read and fun to annotate.

This is an awesome kit with a guide on how to create a book club around the novel, Murder by Cheesecake, by Rachel Ekstrom Courage. I've been excited to add this to my suspense/thriller adult book club unit, but I didn't know how until now. I think this is a great guide in what this book has to offer, and how to adapt it to different readers. I especially loved the bookmarks in this kit.
However, I wish there was one side decorated and one side blank on the bookmarks, so that students could use the bookmark to jot down notes while reading. Or better yet, I wish this came with a journal that students could use specifically for this novel while reading. I will definitely be using this in my classroom!
Thanks to NetGalley and We Are Bookish for sharing!

This has a day full of activities that will keep any murder mystery or Golden Girls fan happy and entertained. Filled with activities and recipes that will help set the stage for a fun day of murder, mystery, mayhem and friendship! I love the idea that there are easily printed custom bookmarks. Personally this is a favorite of mine because I can keep notes on the back as a reminders for my book club discussion as quick page references, and if you don't like that and have a small reading group this could be a cute Yearbook Booster Page style memmo where each member leaves a special note to the owner. Have your own copy, a wonderful reminder of a great day, read digitally or from a library, then you still have a cool momento!

Well designed and thought out with activities to make a great girls night or even an overnight retreat! Add some classic episodes and a dress up as you favorite Golden Girl and the weekend just got a little more fun!

This is such a resourceful and fun book club kit. I love that there are thoughtful questions for discussion. a quiz to see what Golden Girl you are, other recommendations, drinks and cheesecake recipes, and bookmarks. It's such a neat idea for people who are just starting to do book clubs and need some help.

I think the book is cute and cozy for sure. I do with the mystery aspect was just a tad bit more thriller-esq. I truly felt like the author wrote the characters so well to our beloved Golden Girls personalities that I felt like I was reading an episode of the show. If you’re looking for something light hearted and familiar, then this is for you.

I was already excited to read the book Murder by Cheesecake because I am a huge Golden Girls fan, and this book club kit has me even more excited. The recipes sounds delicious and the bookmarks are adorable. I cannot wait to make the St. Olaf’s Kiss Cheesecake and print off some of the bookmarks to use while I read this book.

Such a fun addition to any book club.

This is a great accompaniment to have while reading the actual book. I can’t wait to go back and read the book with these in mind and share my assumptions with my book club.

I always enjoy a good book club kit and this one did not disappoint. It has great questions and fun recipes along with a few extra goodies. Thanks for the opportunity to hane this to go along with the story.

A nice little companion to the 'Murder by Cheesecake' book for your Book Club!

The questions were helpful in getting the book club talking, seeing everyone's results in the quiz was a great time, and we even tried the cheesecake recipe (There was some user error as I'm not the best in the kitchen, but it turned out good I think)!

It was a morning meet up, but I'll definitely be saving the drink recipes to try at a later date.

This is such a great idea and an excellent resource for anyone doing a Bookclub on this book…. I wish all books did this!!!

I will personally bake a cheesecake (I now have a nifty recipe!) for whoever is responsible for these bookmarks. I want to frame them. They’re that good.

I don’t know if book club kits like this are a new thing or if I’ve just been living under a very poorly read rock, but I continue to be impressed. There’s nothing I love more than celebrating a book, and this kit gives groups of avid readers the perfect way to do just that. It’s creative, it’s thoughtful, and it makes reading feel like an event.

Love the book club guide - planning to use in Oct when my bookclub reads this book! All the extras are great: I can't wait to hand out the bookmarks and try some of the recipes.

I unfortunately don't know how to give feedback for a book club kit. 5 stars for creativity and I will pick this book up to read in the future after taking a look at this kit!!
