Didn't realize this wasn't actually the book until after I requested the download, so I wasn't able to use it.

Very cool for any one starting a book club. It gives you discussions but also crafts, entertainment, and recipes which makes a great gathering. For a popular book at this season it is a must if you want to take it easy form planning your book club itinerary. Hope ever is taking advantage of this.

The book club kit is fantastic! There's so much information and things to do, and there's something in it for everyone!

I definitely things this is great for books clubs i love the music Playlist and food and drink ideas and how they relate back to the book. I will say activity wise maybe not as many similar ones cause if your already doing a cookie exchange why would you want to decorate sugar cookies (might just be me). I also feel the 2nd question about favorite holidays and traditions isn't needed as not related to book it not really talking about books that's more forcing topics that should come natural.

The Nightmare Before Kissmas is such a fun and campy romance novel. It’s the perfect kind of book to read during the winter holiday season. I will be selecting this book for my book club’s December read at the library I work at. This Book Club Kit will be perfect for it! I can’t wait for the next book in the series “Go Luck Yourself”.

Book club kits are incredibly helpful for enhancing the reading and discussion experience. These kits typically include multiple copies of the book, discussion guides, author interviews, and supplementary materials, making it easier for groups to engage with the content. They save time for organizers by providing structured questions and themes, ensuring focused and enriching conversations. Additionally, kits often offer insights into the book's historical, cultural, or social context, deepening participants' understanding. For book clubs with diverse members, these kits cater to varying interests and reading levels, fostering a more inclusive and enjoyable reading experience.

I absolutely loved this book club kit! The colors and overall aesthetic are beautiful, the author interview included wonderful questions, and I really appreciated the range of activities provided. I definitely will be following some of the recipes provided! I think this would be a great companion to use for book clubs due to the many great conversation starters and fun ways to bond outside of simply talking about the book. I truly enjoy these book club kits and hope that NetGalley/We Are Bookish continue to develop these! I'd be tempted to pick up a book I've never heard of simply because it has a book club kit.

This was super fun to do with my book club! The guide and the give outs was the greatest thing. Everyone loved it!

This kit was a really great addition for the people that I was reading the book with. The book itself was lovely. I thought the banter & relationship between the two mmc was fantastic. I also love that the book kinda felt like a political commentary or critique of christmas consumerism but did it subtly.

What a fun and festive book club kit! I loved this book, so I really enjoyed reading the interview with the author on her inspiration and challenges. I also appreciated that the questions inspire discussion of some of the darker themes in the book - the balance of holiday magic and real issues like grief and capitalism and feeling alone against the world was part of what made this book special to me. However I especially loved the playlist, suggestions for the gathering (sweaters!) and food and drink recipes. The book creates such a festive Christmas atmosphere that I appreciated that the book club kit does that too!

Absolutely love this book club resource! There are so many great discussion questions to really help get the conversation going with a group. Love the different food and drink recipes that are perfect to go with the read as well. Wish these come with all books to really help with planning for your monthly book clubs!

I thought this was a great kit to use in our book club to discuss this book. We plan to read it this month for the holiday and meet to discuss in January.

This was a beautiful set of tools to accompany the book! I implore more tools of this kind be released for different books!

This book club kit was a helpful and useful guide to start discussions around the book and have some insight into the book from the interview.
There’s some fun activities at the back and a playlist, food menu and printable bookmarks all based around the story which is wonderful to create a more immersed atmosphere when discussing the book with your group.

The Nightmare Before Kissmas was a recent buddy read and I was pleased I found this kit. I shared the activities and bookmarks which went down really well with the group.

I didn’t use any of the discussion questions, it’s not that kind of group, but I can imagine they would useful and a good inclusion.

Useful Kit for prompting discussions and adding a bit of extra fun to a bookclub - I haven't finished reading the book itself yet - but I'm thoroughly enjoying it.
