I absolutely love the book club kits that are provided. These are so great as it could be so useful when trying to facilitate conversion about the book during book club meetings.

I am always excited when I that these book club kids are available. Sometimes setting up a club meeting can feel super daunting and these come to the rescue! This kit is organized well and easy to follow. It provides an author interview, questions, a quiz, and other books to read if you enjoyed it. I loved that it included printable bookmarks, a music playlist and snack/drink recipes to help flesh out a book club meeting further.

I've had this book on my shelf for a little while and this might be the push I needed to advocate for it being a part of my book club! Thanks to We Are Bookish and NetGalley for an eARC of this kit for an honest review.

I did get excited and foolishly thought this was the book itself BUT this is an excellent kit for book clubs! Word search, bookmarks, author interview and more!

Especially love the printable bookmarks - so cool!

This book club kit has the best elements to help facilitate a great discussion of Children of Blood and Bone. When our book club isn't able to talk directly to an author during our meeting, having the author interview like the one in this kit adds so much to our discussion and understanding of the book and the author's intent. The printable bookmarks, games and recipes for food are just plain fun, and add to an immersive feel of the group's read. I LOVE when authors create a playlist on spotify to listen to while reading a book. Again, it adds another element to the reader's enjoyment of the story, and helps the reader feel immersed in the story, particularly a book like Children of Blood and Bone, which is world building and fantasy. As my book club's facilitator, THANK YOU for the discussion questions! Not only are they more interesting than questions I can come up with, they also steer the conversation into areas that the author intends the reader to think about.

This is a fantastic Book Club Kit. I am already looking at when I can use this book and book club kit in my book club! I like the variety of content options-- discussion questions, interviews, and fun things like food suggestions and book marks. Please keep making these kits!

Children of Blood and Bone was recommended to me by a student last year. I have found that it is read widely within our district, and most have loved it. Thanks to We Are Bookish and NetGalley for providing these enriching resources that I can share with my students, especially the author interview and recommended additional reading. I appreciate all of these fantastic kits!

I am in LOVE with the NetGalley Book Club Kits! Sometimes I choose books for book club based on whether there is a kit already created or not. I love choosing a book/series and not having to worry about putting together an event for it. Beautifully laid out with fun ideas and creative activities, NetGalley Book Club Kits are a must have.

Thank you so much NetGalley.

This is a great Book Club Kit, literally everything we could need was included. From a playlist to a quiz!

The discussion questions were such a great help for when we didn't know what to talk about next and the bookmarks were such a nice surprise 😍 they look amazing and now we all have one of each!

Overall a great idea which I recommend to everyone who is part of a book club 😊

A great game I would love to see in other kits would be quotes and then we have to guess who said it.

I loved this book club kit! I really enjoyed the author interview as well as the discussion questions. I liked the Maji Clan Quiz, as a quiz isn't a frequent thing in book club kids.

This Book Club Kit would make the perfect companion to any meeting on Children of Blood and Bone by Tomi Adeyemi. I loved how interactive this kit is with activities including discussion questions, an interview with the author, traditional Nigerian recipe ideas, a playlist, quizzes and bookmarks. Additionally I liked that further book recommendations were given at the end alongside reasons why you should read those books if you enjoyed Children of Blood and Bone. The layout and design of the kit makes it very easy to read and engage with.

Overall this is a great book club kit and would provide plenty of activities for a book club meeting.

This was a fantastic little resource that I told my wife (she's a teacher) about it and even she was excited about it. We both love the books.

I would recommend this to anyone who love to have book clubs.
