Hi, I’m Galy

Your host and sticker artist

Abby Jimenez and Ali Hazelwood are some of my five-star authors: smart heroines, real chemistry, and books that leave you with something. I opened The Kissing Room to share those stories with you. Each month I choose the book, draw the stickers by hand and design the stationery for your Bookclub kit. Then we talk about it, chapter by chapter.

Questions, answered

Is The Kissing Room a book club?

Yes. The Kissing Room is a monthly romance book club from The BookClub Boutique: one book, a Bookclub kit designed around it, and other readers to share it with.

When does my first kit ship?

The pre-sale closes on October 31. Your founding Bookclub kit ships in early December with the Deluxe Edition of A Married Little Christmas by Abby Jimenez. That special edition is only for the founding kit, to celebrate the opening of the club: from January, a new romance arrives every month as a regular paperback.

What’s the difference between the two kits?

The full kit ($39 CAD, or $35 USD in the US, a month) includes the book. The kit without the book ($18 CAD, or $16 USD in the US, a month) has everything else: stickers, notepad, bookmark, collectible postcard, the Hostess’s letter and your key.

Is there an age rule?

Yes: every heroine is 25 or older. Grown-up love stories, with women who already have a life of their own.

Can I join more than one room?

Yes. Every room has its own key, and your kits ship together in the same envelope, so you only pay shipping once (plus a small fee for an extra book).

Can I switch rooms?

Yes, from January. In December, current members can add The Kissing Room as an extra key.

Do members get a discount in the shop?

Yes. For as long as your subscription is active, you get 20% off every book in the boutique.

Where do we talk about the book?

In the club’s own room inside TrophyShelf (coming soon), with discussions by chapter so nobody gets spoiled. Your key’s access code opens it.

Can I cancel anytime?

Yes. It is a monthly subscription and you can pause or cancel whenever you like.

The door closes October 31

Your seat by the fire is saved.
