The "Queenie" book club kit by Candice Carty-Williams is an excellent resource for book clubs. This downloadable and printable kit includes an author interview, discussion questions, and more, enriching the reading experience. Sponsored by Gallery, it serves as a supplementary guide rather than the actual book.

The book "Queenie" is a disarmingly honest and boldly political novel that blends the charm of "Bridget Jones’s Diary" with the depth of "Americanah." It tells the story of Queenie Jenkins, a twenty-five-year-old Jamaican British woman navigating life in London. Straddling two cultures and feeling out of place in both, Queenie works at a national newspaper where she constantly compares herself to her white middle-class peers. Following a messy breakup, she seeks solace in all the wrong places, leading to a series of questionable decisions.

Queenie's journey is a raw and relatable exploration of identity, self-worth, and the quest for meaning in a world filled with conflicting answers. With fresh and honest prose, Carty-Williams offers a compelling narrative that resonates with modern women searching for their place.

This kit is ideal for book clubs looking to facilitate engaging and thoughtful discussions about "Queenie."

This book club kit is a wonderful resource for discussions about Queenie. As a complex and nuanced character, the authors insights into Queenie and her motivations make for great exploration of the book and its themes for discussion. The questions are reflective, and really prompt an open discussion about the way readers might have related to Queenie. The recipes and music are a fun addition, and the book recommendations are well varied.

This is an incredibly useful book club kit. The discussion guide has some really thought provoking questions and is well supplemented by the interview with the novel's author. I adored the book and hearing Candice Carty-Williams's reflections was eye-opening and valuable!

In addition to the serious content, I admire how this kit includes so many fun features... the "Which Corgi Are You?" quiz was fantastic and so accurate. The playlist and recipes were really unique and awesome, and the further reading recommendations were spot on - a couple definitely added to my TBR. The support resources at the end were also thoughtful and I'm sure will be useful to some readers given the content.

Thanks NetGalley and We Are Bookish for creating this. Even though I'm not planning to discuss this in a book club soon (I was very late to the party with this book), I really enjoyed reflecting on the story and characters and working through the questions in my own head.

Fantastic kit for use in book club meetings. We struggle with discussing the book (we usually say a few worked about it and then start chatting about anything in general) and this will help us to stay on track.

Queenie is one of my fave books! So when I saw this book club kit, I RAN for it and it didn't disappoint. I love the author interview and it made me want to pick the book up again. This kit has every bookish stuff I love - recipes, playlists, recommendations, and bookmarks!

This Book Club Kit for Queenie produced such a great discussion in my book club. I hope that it led to other club's discussions to dig deeper and understand the human ability to heal and learn.

Thanks, We Are Bookish!

The book club kits provided here are always amazing. I really enjoyed the interview with the author and the recipes make me very excited to try out! Thanks!

Love this book and love this guide. I liked the suggested questions from the author, the prosecco cocktail because it seemed easy to make, and the quiz. Also, I loved the support resources for readers.

I love this book club kit! It's both aestetically pleasing and comprehensive. Gorgeous layout, which includes: an author interview, recommendations for upcoming reads, games, a playlist, recipes and discussion questions. I wish there was a kit like this for all books. I'd be more apt to pick up certain books for my book club. The work is done and looks like the making of a good time.

I love these free book club kits.it makes discussing these books so much easier. They have questions, bookmarks, recipes, author interviews. I wish there were more kits with other books

This book club kit contained a variety of materials to use as a companion to your book club meeting for Queenie. I particularly enjoyed the more interactive elements of this kit for example the food and drink recipes and the playlist. I liked the design of the kit and though it tied in really nice with the book's cover.

Queenie has been on my TBR for some time and after reading this kit it may be moving further up!

Queening is an incredible read that would spark great discussion but man this guide would help make a killer book club! This guide includes everything from an interview, to recipes for both a cocktail/mock tail and a snack, to a playlist, bookmarks, and further books to read. It’s got a discussion guide too, but the in-depth nature of it all would lead to one immersive book club experience!

Super helpful when it came to anchoring the discussions but they allowed space for conversations to go somewhere else too.

The Book Club Kits are fabulous tools to enrich your reading experience. They provide questions that make you reflect more on what you've read and points to discuss in a book club to hear different thoughts and explore further. Even if you're not in a book club, you can use it to ponder on some aspects of the book that you may have missed or wouldn't have lingered on when you read it. If you want to get more out of a book, the book club kit will act as a wonderful learning tool. Highly recommended.

What a great resource to accompany Queenie - includes author interview, book club discussion points, bookmark, additional book recommendations, and food recipes. You don't need to be in a book club to enjoy.

This is just the perfect kit for a successful book club meeting. I loved the bookmarks and the recipes especially. My book club hasn't met since pre-COVID-19 and I would love to revive it. I've already read Queenie and I had mixed feelings about it but I would re-read with my friends and would love to have a discussion. I am Jamaican based in Jamaica so I might buy bun and cheese rather than bake a bun from scratch but I will be saving the recipe.

Good kit, got the group talking, and the discussion guide really made people think about how they had read the book. The bookmarks were a nice touch and the recipes really helped people connect with the characters and they loved being able to cook with them!

This book club kit was well thought out and put together. It not only included thoughtful questions, but also a quiz, activities, bookmarks, a recipe, and a themed drink to make the book club meeting a full fledged event! I appreciated that it included information on the author, other books by her/the publisher, and suggestions for books to read if you enjoyed this one. This would be a great kit for someone wanting to spice up a book club meeting.

While I was not a huge fan of the book Queenie itself I thought this book club kit actually provided a new perspective on the novel for me. I would use this to discuss with friends!

This is a REVIEW ONLY of The BOOK CLUB KIT for “Queenie,” a novel by Candace Carty-Williams about a pretty black female journalist living in London trying to figure out her love-life and career in this Bridget Jones-style comedy-drama. This fabulously created colorful 19-page e-book is with loaded with everything to make your Book Club meeting memorable. Featuring lots of discussion questions to stimulate insightful two-way conversations among reading groups, it’s also full of visual appeal because of the bright art and bold, eye-catching graphics. The Q & As are excellent and will be useful for Book Club Leaders, Librarians, as well as readers themselves who want extra insight into the background of the book and author. 💕 As all compelling Book Kits do by adding additional graphics and fun elements, this one truly rocks! It offers suggested food and drink recipes; musical playlists; bookmarks to cut out; an author interview; additional suggested readings, and so much more. This is a truly exciting Book Kit worthy of it’s designation. 💕
