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.

"My Beautiful Black Hair" by St. Clair Detrick-Jules

My Perception:

This was quite an exciting kit, including the interview with the author, which kept the subject on track during the open discussion questions. The book suggestions and bookmarks were excellent for use during the discussions. This was well put together for a book club meeting with you, and you have everything you need. This was definitely helpful for anyone 'starting to look after their hair' and a fantastic kit that any book club could use.

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

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.

This is another great book club kit! I like that it started with an author interview. Then it provided discussion questions which is great for a book club. Also it provides bookmarks and book suggestions to read next and watch next.

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

Nice guide. The selection of questions were nice. I do wish the guide was a bit longer and had more content.

I love this book club kit! It's both aestetically pleasing and comprehensive. Gorgeous layout, which includes: an author interview, recommendations for upcoming reads, and discussion questions. I wish there was a kit like this for all books. I'd be more apt to pick up certain books for my book club. The work is done and looks like the making of a good time.

My book club has put MY BEAUTIFUL BLACK HAIR on our upcoming schedule. What a fine resource this kit will be!

Thanks to the author, publisher, and NetGalley for the ARC.

Opinions are mine.

I really loved the author interview in this kit and I thought the book club questions included were a great way to facilitate an important conversation. I liked the suggestions of books and other content as a way to learn more about this topic. This book club kit would make the perfect companion to any book club meeting about My Beautiful Black Hair.

Before reading this kit, I hadn't heard of My Beautiful Black Hair but now it is firmly on my TBR list!

The Book Club Kits are fabulous tools to enrich your reading experience. They provide questions that make you reflect more on what you've read and points to discuss in a book club to hear different thoughts and explore further. Even if you're not in a book club, you can use it to ponder on some aspects of the book that you may have missed or wouldn't have lingered on when you read it. If you want to get more out of a book, the book club kit will act as a wonderful learning tool. Highly recommended.

This book club kit was well thought out and put together. It only included thoughtful questions. The bookmarks were a nice addition. I appreciated that it included information on the author, other books by her/the publisher, and suggestions for books to read if you enjoyed this one. This would be a great kit for someone wanting to change up a book club meeting.

This is a REVIEW ONLY of The BOOK CLUB KIT for “My Beautiful Black Hair: 101 Natural Hair Stories from the Sisterhood,” nonfiction motivational pictorial guide by St. Clair Detrick-Jules about proudly embracing the beauty, femininity, and authenticity of curl’s natural only to Black women.

If you are reading this book in your book club you must request and download this package.

I really enjoyed this book. Whilst I had known lots written in the book it was interesting getting her point of view. It was good to have all this knowledge in one place to refer back to. Helpful for someone starting to look after their hair. I would give this 4 stars out of 5

This Book Club Kit, for My Beautiful Black Hair by St. Clair Detrick-Jules was a good read. It makes me excited to read the whole book. Thank you Netgalley for letting me read and review this.

I have never used a Book Club kit before, but I certainly will again if they are all this useful!

I take part in a small, informal book club with a few friends over Zoom, which can sometimes descend into general chatter. It's so helpful to have insightful discussion topics curated for us to keep us on track. The author interview included in this kit was also a fruitful basis for discussion. An important topic and an important book!

This is such a fun, engaging book club kit! I love reading interviews with authors, and hearing about what inspired them to write their novel. 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.

You'd think all book club kits were the same. This one contains the usual bookmarks, and discussion questions, along with further reading recommendations. But it really shines above the rest, because this contains one of the most thoughtful author interviews I have ever read in media.

Great kit to facilitate open discussion about a great book. It’s wildly comforting to see faces that look like mine and hair that curls like mine does featured in a book that teaches care and concern for one’s wellness.

The book club kit for My Beautiful Black Hair was filled with a very thorough author interview, thoughtful discussion questions, and cool bookmarks. I really appreciated the suggestions of what to read and watch next. A well-executed kit!
