I absoluelty love these kits. A kit like this makes it 10x easier to prep for my discussion that month with a sort of guideline for what sort of questions can be asked on top of the author interviews. I also really enjoy the handouts that these kits provide. The book marks and even book related lists are great for patrons wanting more from the book group.

Really cool book club kit! It even includes a homemade butter recipe true to the book, so that’s fun! Other than that, you’ll also find discussion points, an interview, and further reading recommendations.

One of my favorite things about using NetGalley's Book Club kits is the author interview. This one was wonderful, and I love the glimpse into the writing process and the motivation for writing the books. The questions provided were interesting and thought-provoking, but didn't add anything that wouldn't have come out in regular discussion. The bookmarks are adorable, but I rarely print them because I like thicker cardboard or wooden bookmarks. I was disappointed in the recipe included, as I don't foresee my book club being excited about making butter. Most of us are teachers and have done that with a classroom of children, so it isn't something we're likely to do as adults hanging out.

I love these Book Club Kits and especially the ones that include an interview with the author. I am impressed with how well thought out these book club kits are. They always include really great extras, like the videos and the bookmarks. I think they're a great resource for a book club to use. The included discussion questions are perfect for encouraging deeper exploration of the book's characters and themes, and I loved how Netgalley began including this in request. Will definitely use in the near future with my very own book club.

I found this book to be very useful for this month dedicated to author Nina LaCour.

A great resource for this book whether or not you're reading it by yourself or with a bookclub. And there is a homemade butter recipe, which is a fun little addition.

I really enjoyed this book club kit. Author interviews are always interesting as we get to learn more about their inspirations and writing process'. I appreciated the what to read next suggestions as well as the bookmarks.

Fantastic kit for use in book club meetings. We struggle with discussing the book (we usually say a few worked about it and then start chatting about anything in general) and this will help us to stay on track.

The book club kit for “Watch Over Me” by Nina LaCour on NetGalley is fantastic. It offers thoughtful discussion questions, an author Q&A, and engaging activities that enrich the reading experience and provoke meaningful conversations about the book’s themes.

I enjoyed this book club kit! I liked that it included content warning of the book. The author interview was also really fun to read, and it was great to get to read what the author was thinking while writing the book and what inspired them.
It also included a recipe, discussion questions, and bookmarks which are a fun addition to a blook club!

Thank you to NetGalley, We Are Bookish publisher and the author for the book club kit!

Ich wusste gar nicht so richtig, was ich hier runtergeladen hatte, aber war positiv überrascht, als ich das PDF geöffnet habe. Das Interview mit der Autorin ist wahnsinnig interessant und das Buch wollte ich eh mit Freund*innen gemeinsam lesen. Ich finde es als Leitfaden und Anregung sehr schön aufgemacht und werde es mit meiner Lesegruppe teilen. Eine schöne Einstimmung in die Geschichte mit sehr coolen weiterführenden Gedanken und Anregungen, um Tiefer in die Diskussion zu gehen! Gefällt mir sehr!

delivers an emotional impact thanks to its beautifully crafted prose. The novel balances melancholy and heartwarming moments, exploring themes like grief, loss, guilt, and healing. It's a captivating and introspective YA novel that lingers in the mind long after the final page.
