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!
This was really cool to have this kit to read with the book. Made it feel more involved and super fun. Definitely recommend this and I will for sure be looking out for more book kits in the future! Thanks so much!
LOVED the art deco design of this book and the cocktail recommendations. Bonus points for the fact they would be easy to make. The playlist with Spotify code is a big win.
The Book Club Guide for "Mayor of Maxwell Street" really helped to enhance knowledge of the time. I'm from Chicago, and before Maxwell Street was moved for "gentrification", I'd been there quite often with my Dad. The book brings back memories.
Thanks so much We Are Bookish and NetGalley for the opportunity to preview this wonderful book club kit— one of the best I have seen. I loved the included author interview and the “value-plus” drink and snack suggestions. I am currently enjoying the novel and will suggest it as a selection to my book club.
Interesting interactive kit to help group reading of The Mayor of Maxwell Street. It does help readers ask questions and answer them to help a deeper comprehension of the text
Hoping I can talk my book club into reading this book. Appreciate the book club items and look forward being able to use them.
Excellent book club kit! The recipes are my favorite part, and the discussion questions enhanced my reading experience.
This is a great kit to go along with the book. I like how it comes with questions for the book discussion and an interview from the author. Perfect for book clubs and read alongs.
This is a great “press pack” for Avery Cunningham’s The Mayor of Maxwell Street. So many great ways to show and encounter the new book. Thank you to Net Galley for sending my way.
What an amazing idea to provide support for a book club’s discussion about The Mayor Maxwell Street. Detailed information, suggestions are included as well as thoughtful questions that will keep book club members engaged.
The kit is incredible! There are so many engaging activities that will enrich the reading experience.I can't wait until I get my hands on the book.
Love the theme of this! I think it is a perfect kit for the book! I love that there were bookmarks, bites, and drinks. What a fun way to host a book club for this book!
I started a book club with my husband's high school friends wives. "The Mayor of Maxwell Street" is our first book club pick. I cannot wait to use this for our discussion.
I especially love how it comes with bookmarks to cut out and give as gifts, recipes to serve, and a Spotify playlist to help set the mood.
I am hoping NetGalley will create more of these in the future.
This book by Avery Cunningham was a surprising good read to me, although it was a little different than what I expected. It was set during in Chicago, during the prohibition era. It is about historical fiction, but it honestly was a little longer than it needed to be.
Penelope/Nelly is forced into the cotillion circuit after her brother died.
She meets someone that is passing to be white. This hit home as a biracial story to me, being a product of a biracial marriage,
Thank you to #netgalley for this #arc
I always love these book club kits. They add depth to any book club discussion. This one is another good one!

Now I'm so excited for The Mayor of Maxwell Street. As I love this type of read, this instantly made it to the top of my tbr. Great job on this kit!
Wonderful toolkit for book clubs. This goes wonderfully with the book and allowed the book club to really enjoy the book discussions. Thank you.
Wonderful interview with the author! This will be great for a book club or any group reading The Mayor of Maxwell Street. Thought-provoking discussion questions along with everything needed to make a book party. The drinks and food look fabulous and don't forget to dress the part. A playlist to set the mood and one has everything needed to go back to the 20's in style. Thanks for the free book club kit!
