Really looking forward to reading this book and this is a great resource that I’ll definitely be recommending that the book club I go to uses! Loved all of it but especially the book marks and pen names!

This is book kit is the perfect accompaniment for the book. It includes exclusive information on the authors thoughts on both the book and the cover. It adds another level of character to the novel.

Excited to see what Jasmine Guillory launches next.

5/5 ⭐️

Although I haven’t read this book yet (and I am dying to do so) this book club resource is fantastic!

It is truly unlikely any other ones I’ve seen! This resource really makes me wants to choose this book for a book club just so I can make some of those recipes 👀

Other authors should really consider what Jasmine Guillory has done here 👏🏽

A super cute resource to use as a companion of the novel! Me and friend loved the pen name sections!

This kit is would be a super helpful guide when discussing the book with a book club. Outside of the prompts, I think the additions of charcuterie board ideas, book marks, etc. make a book club meeting more fun and exciting!

This is a fun guide to use when hosting a book club regarding the book. Loved the recipes and the additional book recommendations

As someone who runs a book club and is always looking for book club kits and/or questions to accompany the book, I found the content in this great! Unfortunately, the choice of background colour made it difficult for me to read. And I actually found my eyes beginning to hurt part way through the author's interview, which is a shame because I really enjoyed everything else about this kit. I'd love for more books to have this kind of accompanying kit because ut really helps foster discussion at a book club meeting.

I'd like to start off by thanking NetGalley, Disney Publishing Worldwide, We Are Bookish, and Jasmine Guillory for the ARC in exchange of my honest review.

The Book Club Kit is an excellent accompaniment for this book. It contains writing tips, writing exercises, and techniques, printable bookmark cut-outs recipes for margaritas and charcuterie boards, and so much more!

I was not fortunate enough to get an ARC of By the Book to be able to use them simultaneously, however I will definitely be purchasing the book on the release date of May 3rd, 2022.

This book club kit was so cute and helpful. I always love knowing the behind the scenes of writing and making a book. This made me even more excited for this upcoming book release.

I run an in person book club, so I tend to look at these kits with that in mind. Would this kit make my life easier? How much would it contribute to the evening?

Things I liked:
drink recipes
charcuterie board ideas
bookmarks

Things that I could have lived without:
Writing prompts
Pen name generator

This kit has a generous number of discussion questions, but I do have to say that none of them were particularly thought provoking or earth shattering, or anything that wouldn't be naturally discussed. I enjoy when these kits provide questions that draw parallels to other classics or themes. This book is a retelling, so I think the comparisons to the original will happen organically, and didn't need to be included in the questions nearly as often as they were. I enjoyed reading the interview with the author, and learning more about her writing process.
Overall, there were a few cute things in this kit, but I don't think it is a huge value add to an in person book club meeting.

This was a great guide for any book club! With the author interview, book suggestions, discussion questions, and recipes, a book club is all set. This guide can help anyone in a book club, a first timer, to someone who has been doing this for a while. With all of the suggestions, you can really make the book club right on theme. The perfect charcuterie, and that amazing sounding margarita would be a perfect pair to this book. Who doesn't love free bookmarks, too?! I loved that We Are Bookish did this and am glad that I was able to receive it!

I have not yet read the book but this kit has me so excited to read it! I can’t wait!! The retelling of beauty and the beast by one of my favorite authors is definitely something I am looking forward to. This kit is perfect for when I finish the book

I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own. I totally loved this book. I am excited to read this book and I think this kit is amazing and will help to get an even better understand of the book. I also loved the printable book marks and recipe ideas.

I am excited to read this book and use this book kit!. I think that this kit is great for showing off other books and broken down to different genres. And I like the different types of interactive exercises.

Thank you NetGalley and We Are Bookish.

I really enjoyed how in depth the author interview and the discussion questions were. The snacks and drinks didn't seem out of place since they were relevant to the themes of the book. I liked the cover discussion but I would have loved to have seen that be longer, maybe with more examples of earlier designs or different approaches they could have taken. On the whole, this would make me interested to read and discuss this book.

I really loved this little kit it is great for promoting the book as well as other books thank you so much for this

I love Jasmine Guillory, so I immediately checked out this book club kit. I'm looking forward to using this, I particularly enjoyed the bookmarks included. There are insightful questions, recipe ideas, and interviews with Jasmine and the cover artist. This is a great book club kit and I can't WAIT to read By the Book!! Thank you to Jasmine Guillory, We Are Bookish, and Netgalley for the free book club kit.

This was a really cool book club outline, I will definitely use after I get a copy of this book. I loved the tips for the charcuterie boards and other novels to read next.

What a fun romantic read!! Jasmine Guillory delivers again in this modern-day fairy tale. Highly recommend!!

This was really cute! I loved the book recommendations and the spicy margarita recipe. This is the perfect kit for your book club with lots of conversation starters and a few great Q&A’s!
