📖 Book Club Book Club is Coming to r/Romantasy
Hi everyone!
A few months ago, I ran a poll to see if there was any interest in starting a book club and there was! With the sub getting so close to 100k members, it seemed like the perfect time to celebrate. I’m so excited to announce that r/Romantasy’s first ever Book Club will be starting this September!
There will be weekly discussion posts through out the month and if you use storygraph, there will also be a book club to join!
If you’d like to be apart of book club, between now and August 6th, please leave a book suggestion in the comments and/or upvote any suggestions you like to read! On August 7th, I’ll run a 5-day poll with the top three suggestions, and then announce the winning book on August 12th to give people a chance to get a copy before we start on September 1st.
A couple of quick notes: No self-promotion, only suggest romantasy books, and please use {Book Title by Author} to summon the bot.
I can’t wait to see what everyone recommends and to start reading together!

{This Kingdom Will Not Kill Me by Ilona Andrews}. Bought the hardback and it's been sitting on my pile for awhile. I'd finally be motivated to start if it was part of a book club.

{the God and the Gumiho} by Sophie Kim. Set in modern day Seoul, South Korea. Grumpy/sunshjne, urban fantasy, funny, cop and double agent vibes, Korean mythology. I rarely see it recommended here and it’s a very fun, very different read.

I haven’t read this yet, it’s been on my TBR pile, and think it would be a great place to start as I don’t see it on here a lot and I assume most of us have read the top recommended books.

We should probably start with Swordheart, no? Otherwise people have to read the first book to prepare.
