I just love the idea of a book club kit! It's a perfect way to really get into all the pieces of the book. Having this guide was a lot of extra fun!

I loved this and my bookclub did as well. It really made the book more interesting. My favorite was the different food and drink options because food always makes things more fun and engaging. I will be sure to include more resources and guides like this for my book club and I can see it taking our bookclub very far. Thank you!

This book will be a book club read for myself and a book club that I'm a part of and this is great to have. It is great for not having a book club exclusive copy or those who tend to skip the extras in the back. It's also nice to have this available to download and send out as a part of a book club activity before a meeting so everyone has time to look over the questions and develop their own thoughts to share later. I will be sharing this with the book club that I am a part of for sure!

I loved the interview with the author, and wish there was more on her writing process for this historical fiction book. The playlist and bookmarks were fantastic additions.

The recipes and suggestions for meeting set this book club kit apart and I would be interested in further book club kits if this is the typical set up and subject matter.

The Mayor of Maxwell Street is a beautiful novel that captivated me from the start. Being able to dive into this book kit added not only fun book-themed extras (like drinks, snacks, playlist, bookmarks, etc.), but also a newfound love for the story through the author q&a and discussion questions. Hearing from the author was extremely insightful and I found myself wanting to ask her 50 more questions myself! Overall, I love these book kits. I think they are so great to add meaning and structure to your book club meetings!

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.
