The Book Club Kit covers everything!

We start off with content warnings... just so we all know what we are getting ourselves into!

Followed by some Q&A with the author, shedding some insight on this cozy and nostalgic read. We are then presented with 12 discussion questions that follow the chronological flow of the book - and make it easy to get from one revelation to the next.

THEY GAVE US PRINTABLE BOOKMARKS!
Yes, I had to type this in caps as this is such a cute addition.

To add even more icing to this cake, there is an actual cake recipe and recipes for some Bev's.
A multiple choice questionnaire - with an answer key and last but not least, a Minute Mystery for the club to solve!

This is a great kit that will make the book club a hit!

This book club kit is fun & has everything you need for starting a great discussion about the book with your friends, food & wine. Pretty bookmarks included with the kit.

I love these book club kits. It has everything you need for a great discussion. Beautiful graphics, with all the questions right there.

I enjoyed the quiz, printable bookmarks, and discussion questions. The recipe seemed to be the same one as in the book, but o don’t make recipes in books anyway due to me being vegan and almost all recipes in books are not. Great for a book club.

I love this kit and I can't wait to share it with my book group. I think the bookmarks are a geat idea and I will definitely make some for everyone. I also really like the cocktail and food recipes which again, I will make. I love how this kit is very immersive and will definitely get people talking even before we discuss the book.

I download these adorable book club kits anytime that I see a new one - they are always so fun and I set them aside for future book club ideas and meetings!

I love that in the intro there is a link that takes you straight to the Storygraph website to see tags and different content notes for the book. I know not everyone uses the same platforms for book tracking but it's a great link for those who do and it's still visible to those without an account.

My favorite things I consistently see in the book club discussion kits are the recipes and bookmarks. I have these saved from quite a few and they're so easy to recreate and the bookmarks are easy to print on a nice heavy paper!

The minute mystery idea was SO fun as well! A great conversation topic and way to incorporate an on theme activity. :)

Another adorable book club kit, thank you!

This is fantastic! I am not a very imaginative person, so this kit helps take the guesswork out of trying to come up with ideas. I love these drinks in the kit! I cannot wait to use this! Oh, and the bookmarks! I can’t wait to print these off! So excited these kits exist!

This book club kit would be the perfect companion for any book club meeting on Murder by Cheescake by Rachel Ekstrom Courage. I liked the wide variety of different activities included in this kit including food and drink recipes, quizzes, puzzles, an author interview, discussion questions and further book recommendations. I liked that a lot of the activities were more interactive which would help to create a really immersive book club discussion.

As someone who has never watched Golden Girls, a lot of the interview with Rachel Ekstrom Courage didn't mean a great deal to me however I thought it was interesting to read about how her writing style changes depending on the character. I also thought it was interesting to learn about the behind the scenes research element of the book and how she managed to stay true to the essence of the characters whilst writing in the 21st century.

Finally I thought the design of the kit was great and I really enjoyed the bright colours and how they matched the front cover of the book.

Wow this was a super fun idea.

We plan reading retreats and this book will be a fun mix of humor and mystery.
This kit takes all the guesswork out of the planning of incorporating it into the retreat experience.

THANK YOU!

these book club kits are such a great resource! i love that they come with content warnings, interesting discussion points and cute bookmark templates unique to each book. the drink and food suggestions are always a fun addition too!

I wish all books came with a kit like this. I really struggle with what to say as a host so the discussion questions are incredibly helpful. They will help us get the ball rolling on engaging conversations. I also really love the recipes and bookmarks. I think the best part of this kit are the minute mysteries. My group LOVES activities and this will be a blast.

You will always catch me downloading a book club kit! They enhance your reading experience and it’s perfect for either solo or group reading. This has some fun things like printable bookmarks, food and beverage recipes. It also has author questions and information. I love looking at these when I find a new to me author. This also has discussion questions that you can use with your own book club.

This is super helpful! Makes it so much easier to address certain topics in the book! Not to mention the recipes and bookmarks. I already have some Golden Girls book marks so this is a great addition to my collection!

This is so cute! I love the drink recipes and the suggestions on what to read next! Definitely trying the cheesecake recipe!

I'm always excited to see when new book club kits are available. This book club kit was well thought out and put together. It includes an author interview and questions, activities (which Golden Girl are you?), bookmarks, drink recipes (both alcoholic and nonalcoholic), and the famed cheesecake recipe from the book, to make the book club meeting a full fledged event! 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.
