Love love love this!! I loved this book and this is the perfect supplement to make your book discussion an event. Love the drink recipe, so pretty! And all the discussion questions, background info, and even recommendations for what to read next! These are such awesome resources.

Not to be dramatic, but I think this might be my favourite bookclub kit ever!!!
They’ve applied us with not only an author interview with Jasmine, but also with the cover designer!!! I’m always a bit fan of interviews, and these ones in particular added so much depth to my understanding of the novel, but also the design process for covers!!
The discussion questions were great, and I love the added ones from Jasmine herself!
The matching bookmarks were a delight and will look great with the book!
The writing exercises and advice is that absolutely blew me away with this kit. That was so unique and so special, and so fitting for By the Book!!
Loved this so much, and would love to see more bookclub kits like this.

This book club kit is the perfect addition to the book even if you’re not planning to read it with a group. The bookmarks are the best part!!

I very much enjoyed and appreciated the thoroughness of this document. It’s a great resource for a book club while also giving recipes and advice on a charcuterie board! I love and agree with the recommended books based on the book club choice by genre. Makes it easy for a discussion with a group to decide what to read next. The formatting of the resource is wonderful too. Detailed, not too long and easy to read. Thanks NetGalley for the opportunity to review.

I loved this book club kit! The art work is beautiful and the questions to ask during your club meeting are geared for in depth conversations with your club. I love the suggested reads for after you're completed with this book as well.

This is such a fun and helpful book club kit! I love the design of the pages, and how even the language stays in theme for example: "this tale as old as time". The author interview is so interesting, I love hearing their thought process on how they got into character, and their writing process. It really helps us connect deeper - like we are getting an insider look. The discussion questions were all relevant and provoked great discussion, I especially enjoyed the questions directly from the author. We really enjoyed the bookmarks, the pen name generator (mine is Emma Russell), and the writing exercise. The reading recommendations were helpful, and we added a few to our book club list next!
Overall, I absolutely loved this book club kit, and it would be so useful to book clubs everywhere!

Another really fun book club kit. I loved the pen name generator. Belle Henry here! Also tips for writers block and jasmines personal experience with it were a nice touch. The different charcuterie board ideas were a hit! The s'mores and pretzel boards were my favorite. The story itself was such a unique retelling. Finding a way to make the house come alive in fun believable ways, was a favorite of mine. It made me want to redo my bathroom immediately to recreate the magical one described in the book!

great kit! loved the discussion questions and the interview with the author. definitely leaves lots of room for productive discussions in any bookclub!

A fine resource for Book Clubs reading Jasmine Guillory's incredibly popular BY THE BOOK. Can't wait to use it for our book club!
Thanks to the author, publisher, and NetGalley for the ARC.
Opinions are mine.

I accidentally downloaded this one instead of getting the book. I still would love to read the book down the line but do not have access yet.

This was really interesting to read! The discussion questions were for the reader to give a cliff notes version of what they thought of the book.
I really enjoy author interviews because it gives the reader insight into what they were thinking as th book was being written.

This book and pack make a perfect pair - ideal if reading with a group, friends or a book club! I particularly enjoyed the design of this one

I loved the bookmarks and the recipes in this. I was super cute and I can’t wait to print the bookmarks and try the recipes.

I've never read a Book Club Kit before (i just picked this and another up). It's honestly brilliant, and I'm not sure why I didn't discover these sooner. This is an excellent method to engage readers in debate and help them pick what to read next. I used some of the questions provided to start discussions online. I wish more books came with kits.

This book club kit would be the perfect companion to any book club meeting about By the Book. I loved the variety of content included in this kit and I particularly enjoyed the interview with the cover designer as this is a part of publishing I've never really thought about before. I loved the colour scheme used throughout this kit and thought the design was beautiful.
I definitely want to read By the Book after reading this kit and I'm now excited to read the entire Meant to Be Series!

I really enjoyed this book club kit. I would highly recommend it to anyone that needs. I enjoyed the author's interview, though I felt it could be longer. The questions were great and they had tips for making a charceuterie board and drink for the book club. They also had writing prompts, which would something new to bring to book club. I feel like this is great if you are just starting a book club and need help getting ready.

This was a fun read but missing some of the sparkle and pop that makes a great Jasmine guillory read! Her books have so much energy and this felt a bit weighed down by the concept.

Another great book club kit. These need to be purchasable via Amazon. The general public would love them! In this book club kit my favorite part was the Enemies to Lovers book recommendations and the Pen Name generator and writing prompts. It is just so fun to immerse yourself more into the story by participating the activities.

This is one of my favorite books ever. This is the best retelling of Beauty and The Beast and I have read it twice now. I always love a book kit to dive deeper into the story. Thank you Netgalley

Love this kit it gives something extra to the book club . Since this was only the a kit and not the actual book I didn’t link a review .
