No. This is a BYO books membership. Grab your own copies from the library or bookstore (or use an e-reader) and come along on our reading adventure!

A curated reading list, reading notes, fortnightly newsletters, access to a private Facebook group and to our private Kiss & Tell Book Club podcast, and monthly meetings via Zoom with Ally and Clare to discuss the book of the month.

Not only do we have an absolutely banger list of books lined up for the rest of this year, join now and you’ll also have access to upcoming book club fun and games, and all 2026 content, including:

♥ The opportunity to meet up with local romance lovers in your area
♥ Our exclusive interview with Katherine Center about her book The Bodyguard (about to become a Netflix movie starring Jared Padalecki and Leighton Meester!)
♥ Videos of all prior book club meetings, including one with guest author Libby Page speaking on her gorgeous This Book Made Me Think of you
♥ Access to all of our Mid-Month Meet Cute podcasts in which our hosts – bestselling romance authors, Ally Blake and Clare Connelly - choose a trope or theme of that month’s read and offer up lots more books we know you’ll love
♥ A book club LIVE chat with NYT bestseller, romantasy superstar Stacey McEwan on Wednesday 26th August (can be re-viewed later)
♥ Monthly Swoon Screenings – where we snuggle up on our respective couches and watch favourite romantic movies together, which is the literal best!
♥ Author interviews and Live Q&A! During the year you will be able to connect live online with some of the world's best-selling authors.

* Books not included – buy a physical copy, head to the library, download an ebook or listen to the audiobook – the choice is yours!

This is a women-only book club for lovers of love stories. It’s a welcoming, judgement-free space for women, and people who identify as women, who enjoy romance novels in all their forms. Whether you enjoy slow-burn romances, hot-and-spicy reads, sweeping historicals, laugh-out-loud rom-coms, or emotional tear-jerkers, you’ll find your people here. It’s a warm space to read widely in the romance genre and share thoughtful, lively conversations about love, life, and the stories that stay with us.

Members must be 18 years or older. Participants aged 15–17 years may join Kiss & Tell Book Club with the express permission of a parent or legal guardian. By permitting a minor to participate, the parent or guardian acknowledges and accepts that the content discussed may include mature themes comparable to those found in MA15+ rated films, including but not limited to adult relationships, sexuality, and other mature subject matter. Language used at times may be explicit in nature. The parent or guardian accepts full responsibility for the minor’s participation, and we do not accept responsibility for any distress, offence, or impact arising from exposure to such content.

Head down to your local library, independent bookstore, or favourite online bookstore to order your copies. We choose books that are widely available in Australian bookstores, in libraries, and that can be found in audio/ebook format.

Don't worry! All book chat meetings are recorded and will be uploaded onto our secure online portal and private Kiss & Tell podcast within 48hrs of the live meeting.

On the last Wednesday of every month at 7pm AEST time. A link will be sent out each month.

Yes! We'd love you to join us! All titles will be available overseas (perhaps with just a different cover!).

No problem! We’d still love you to join in the discussion if you’re keen, otherwise you can listen to the recording when you've finished.
