This was such a fun book club kit! It has everything! An interview with author, bookmarks to print out, bookclub questions, and recipes for food and drinks! And a music playlist! I mean you literally have everything you need for a whole book club party! There's also other book recs for future book club meetings. 5 out of 5! A lot of thought went into this kit. Enjoy!

This was such a cute little read! As a big fan of A Nightmare Before Christmas I could not resist picking this one up because of the title :) And honestly, I am really glad I did. I feel like it is the perfect read for the time in between Halloween and Christmas as it helps not only with the sadness of Halloween being over but at the same time it really adds to the excitement of the holiday period getting closer.

I feel like the idea of the 2 princes was really original and built quite well. I really liked the 2 main characters and how their relationship evolved throughout the story. Will I be reading the next book in the series? Definitely.

Thank you NetGalley for an e-arc of this book in exchange for my honest review.

This book club kit is festive, fun, and full of personality—just like the book itself. It offers a great mix of thoughtful discussion prompts and playful extras that made our book club meeting feel more like a holiday party than a typical discussion night (in the best way!).

The author interview added great behind-the-scenes insight, and the content warnings were a helpful and respectful inclusion. The discussion guide covered major themes and character arcs while still leaving room for laughter and lightness—perfect for a holiday rom-com.

We especially loved the “Bites and Sips” recipe list, complete with links—several members brought themed snacks, which added a fun and cozy vibe. The playlist helped set the mood, and the "Kiss, Marry, Banish" game was a hilarious icebreaker that kept us laughing well into the night.

The kit also includes printable bookmarks, a what to read next list, and a helpful breakdown of the author’s and publisher’s other titles—which made it easy to find our next cozy read.

Overall, this is a wonderfully put-together kit that fully embraces the book’s tone and spirit. Highly recommended for romance readers, holiday-themed book clubs, or anyone looking to turn their book discussion into a celebration.

Thank you NetGalley and We Are Bookish for the book club kit!
I originally downloaded this for the discussion questions (which were super helpful) but ended up loving the activities even more! There are cute printable bookmarks, recipe ideas, and fun activities to create the perfect book club meeting.

I loved The Nightmare Before Kissmas. Once I saw this book club kit I immediately requested it. The book club kit is fun for fans of the book, not just book clubs. The kit includes an author interview, exclusive art bookmarks you can print out, recipes with links and images and a kiss, banish, k!ll game. It's so fun. Perhaps I'll add those items to my Halloween book posts because Hex needs some more love.

I initially requested this thinking it included the book along with the kit, but it’s actually just the Book Club Kit with discussion questions, extras, and bookmarks. Since I haven’t read The Nightmare Before Kissmas yet, I didn’t dive into the whole kit to avoid spoilers but I did enjoy the playlist. Looking forward to revisiting the kit once I’ve read the book.

Thank you to NetGalley and We Are Bookish for making these resources available!

I liked all of the content here, but I think that it would be better for the discussions to be separated by chapter, since our group was meeting every week to discuss a section of the book.

This is my first kit and I thought it was great! Our book club always lacks structure so this was a great tool!

Thank you so much to We Are Bookish and NetGalley for the opportunity to check out the Book Club Kit for The Nightmare Before Kissmas by Sara Raasch! Loved this book - so cute. I love the light v. dark nature of their relationship. This kit has an interview with the author, which I felt was pretty revealing about the book and the characters. I also thought the discussion questions were good - a good variety and examined various aspects of the book. I think they'll make for good conversation starters. The printable bookmarks are so cute. The recipes will be amazing to try while chatting about the book. There's some suggestions for what to read next, where I discovered a couple books to add to my TBR. Thanks again for this great kit!

I was excited to discover this book club kit. I love that the book is based on the Nightmare Before Christmas.

-The author interview is enjoyable for readers. Especially for previous Nightmare Before Christmas fans.
-The discussion questions are open-ended, thoughtful, and some are fun such as "Christmas or Halloween?"
-The printable bookmarks are cute and aesthetically pleasing.
-"Food is one of the most exciting parts of a book club meeting and it's always more fun when it's inspired by the book." 100% agree with this and this book club kit makes it so easy to provide themed-food and drink! I liked the addition of pictures for the themed-drinks.
-The activity ideas were fun and themed-appropriately and great suggestions for recommended books!
-The playlist is fun and adds another dimension to book club party planning.

this is just the book club kit? not the book, so unsure why it's in the reviewed section, but it's cute!

I really enjoyed the author and the discussion questions! The bookmarks were adorable and so much fun.
The playlist was a fantastic addition, I’m actually listening to it as I write this. The "Kiss, Marry, Banish" game was super fun too!
The activities were all fantastic, and I’m planning to combine two of them for our Christmas meeting this year.
