I love reading books by Jasmine Guillory and was excited her newest book has a book club kit. I have never been a part of a book club and now would love to join one. I love that this kit has a pen name generator , writing prompts, bookmarks, interviews, and writing exercises. It's a fun way of delving more into a book, a plus if it's one you really enjoyed.

Great kit! Love that it is more than just book club questions - had fun food and drink recipes! Great for any book club. Love the questions and suggestions on what to read next too! This is the perfect kit for a new book club member!

This book club kit is so cute! I loved that it includes more than just discussion questions for your book club. It also includes an author interview, bookmarks, recipes, fun games and more! Even if you don't have an in-person book club event, it would be fun to share the recipes with friends for a zoom book club. I can't wait to see more book club kits from We Are Bookish! #BytheBookBookClubKit #NetGalley

This is the coolest bookclub kit! It’s so pretty and I love the bookmarks and the fun food and drink recipes.

I wish I was in a book club and this kit makes me want to start my own!

I don't attend a book club but I thought this kit would provide interesting materials to post on my blog along with my review of By the Book, rather like the materials provided for a blog tour. Unfortunately I didn't have time to feature the book like I'd imagined, but I did appreciate the kit and thought it was a wonderful collection of information. The cover designer interview was particularly unique; I've often wondered at the thoughts that went into cover design. The only parts of the kit I didn't care for was the rose recipe or the char-whatever board instructions; they just aren't useful to me. Thanks so much for putting this together!

These are always the best little packages for your book club. Please never stop creating these Netgalley! Definitely download if you and your pals are reading together- a great conversation starter.

This is a great book club kit, I think it has a bit of everything you would expect and more. Interviews with the author and cover designer, questions and suggestions on what to read next. And some really cute bookmarks that you can print out. But it also has some fun suggestions for activities and even a drink recipe, what more could you ask for. I honesty don’t know.

Thank you this Book Club Kit was very helpful

I received a free copy of this book via NetGalley and the publisher. This is my honest and personal review.

This is so fun! The author interview and discussion questions were great, but there is so much more included in this that I loved! First, an interview with the cover artist! That felt so unique to me and I found it really interesting! The writing prompts were really cool too, and I will go back to those even outside of a book club environment. Also drink recipes and charcuterie ideas! This guide truly has everything you need! Now I want to get By The Book for some other friends and host a bookclub!

this is a great collection of questions for book club or for the lone reader who would like to put more thought into the book's meaning.

I am picking this up so that I can vet it as a tool for my book club as I pick our July read. Off the bat it is beautifully put together and I think the questions and content are really applicable and support the reading experience. I cannot wait to check out some more book club kits- this is the first I’ve looked at and these are phenomenally done. Nice work!

As always these book club kits have helped me pick our next book club title. The questions and extra material really make it easy to plan your discussions. I also love the included images and bookmarks. Thank you NetGalley for this kit in exchange for my honest review.

This book is useful for book clubs and gives information and many ideas for organising discussions of the book.

I enjoyed this book club kit! I especially loved the Q&A to get to know more about the book. I also loved the bookmark, it's so cute!

I enjoyed this Book Club Kit, and found it complimented the book well! I found the questions suitably provoking of conversation. I'd most likely use it for personal reflection, or in a classroom setting; I think book club kits like this one can be ideal for engaging the reluctant reader of any age, and I found this one to be no exception!

This kit was so well put together! I loved all the extras and that it has a what to read next! It would be so useful for a book club and comes with so many fun features! The games recipes are so fun and would be great for a group setting! The bookmark is adorable and just needs to be printed and laminated. If you love learning more about the book you’re reading this kit is for you!

I cannot wait to use this book club kit when I read By The Book later this summer! It is such a fun way to have a great experience discussing the book with friends.

I’m always a sucker for a good book club kit! This one for By the Book has a really lovely interview with Jasmine Guillory, some delicious-looking recipes that I can’t wait to try, a beautiful bookmark printout, discussion questions, some writing prompts, and even an adorable pen-name generator! One thing that was unique and pretty cool about this particular kit was the interview with the cover artist. I loved that!

Thanks so much to the publisher for this kit. So fun!
