I didn't know when downloading this if we were expected to also review things like this. My book club is excited to use it to facilitate our discussion.

My book club didn’t end up picking the mayor of Maxwell street as our book of the month but I hope to choose it sometime in the future and come back to edit this review after using this book club kit. Thanks netgalley and publishers

Good book club kit. Should be better listed that the book does not come with the kit.

Insightful questions about a time and people who are often lost to history’s narratives. I appreciated the perspectives of BIPOC women in a time unimaginably grueling compared to today.

Short and sweet guide. It includes discussion questions, an interviews, some recipes (food and drink), and a playlist. The recipes and playlist were a nice addition and would help make the book club meeting an event.

I hope that there will be more of these book club kits as this is great fun and I love the idea of immersive discussions and refreshments. More please!

This is a really great discussion guide for this book. I am not really sure what else to write since it’s not a book.

This felt like a very complete book club kit. The questions in the “Author Interview” really allowed the author the give the reader a better understanding of where the inspiration from the book came from and characters’ journey. This information, along with the challenges the author faced, help the readers have a better understanding and appreciation for the book and even connect with the author if these were also things the reader identified with. The first question immediately stood out to me because I don’t feel it’s often a book’s cover is discussed. For the discussion questions, I liked the inclusion of Avery Cunningham’s questions.

This is my first book club kit review and felt the suggestions towards the end of food and drinks were such a nice touch! The suggestions inspire club members to dive into the story and create a shared experience with story. The experience is completed with the playlist which is 10/10.

Lastly, I liked the book suggestion of “what to read next” contained similar themes to The Mayor of Maxwell Street.

Loved this resource it is really awesome!! The bookmarks are so cool something I will definitely print and laminate to use. I also thought the little recipes for food + drinks was such a cute addition!!

Excellent book kit! So helpful for reading the book and hosting a book club. The questions were thoughtful and the extras, such as bookmarks, food/beverage pairings were perfection! I wish I could have a kit like this for every book!

Thank you for this opportunity to read about the book club kit. I am in online book clubs but this is great information for people that meet up to talk about books.

I was under the impression this was the book itself. It was not but made me excited to able to hopefully read soon!

I love the cover and the plot definitely seems right up my alley

This was your typical book club kit but it was informative and very good. To help allow readers to do a deep dive into the book while still being guided.

Great book club kit! I think the questions make discussing this book more interesting and insightful

I don't know that I would request a book club kit again, however.

This book club kit is perfect for bookclubs and reading group use. I really enjoyed the entertainment suggestions and the bookmarks that you could prunt out. A great accompaniment to the book.

Another great book club kit!

I got this in preparation of my Book of the Month choice and I wasn't disappointed. It's a very organized kit with the perfect plan for any book club reading The Mayor of Maxwell Street.

The Book Club Kit: The Mayor of Maxwell Street by Avery Cunningham by We Are Bookish is filled with useful information to enhance book club discussions of this title. Very helpful and glad I had to opportunity to receive this kit.

This is a book club kit, it’s a great companion for a book club Reading of The Mayor of Maxwell Street by Avery Cunningham. The kit is well designed. It starts with trigger warnings for the book, thus giving the person coordinating the read, a complete picture to know if the book is for the intended group. I enjoyed the interview with the author. It’s hard to choose what I liked the most because I enjoyed the suggestions to set the mood, including cocktails or drinks, snacks, and food and the ambiance of the perfect music. I loved the suggestions of ways to make the entire experience authentic, including secret passwords. And the bookmarks that they give to print are great, allowing you four designs to choose from. This definitely makes me want to check out the actual book and try some of these suggestions to truly immerse myself into the experience. .

The Book Club Kit for The Mayor of Maxwell Street was amazing. I enjoyed the author interview section and feedback, the discussion questions, and the added playlist. I also enjoyed the Step Into The 20s section to help theme your virtual or in-person event. The Book Club Kit is a great tool for book clubs to discuss the book and add a little fun to the discussion. So many great topics to discuss and conversation starters.

I had no idea a Book Club Kit was a thing! This is such a good idea and makes me even more excited to read this book! Now to go make some friends and start a book club so I can try out the drinks!
