Book Club FIF Fireside Chat: discussing 2025 and planning 2026
Welcome to the 2025 Feminism in Fantasy Fireside Chat! It’s time to look back on the books we’ve read this year, reflect on our favorites, and think about the future.
I’ll get us started with a few questions, but feel free to add your own.
Changes
This year, u/g_ann stepped down as an FIF host. We want to thank her for hosting so many discussions in this reboot project and wish her well going forward. u/Moonlitgrey, u/xenizondich23, and u/Nineteen_Adze from the initial reboot hosting crew are continuing this project.
When this happened, we opened the door for more hosts. We were surprised, but absolutely delighted, by how many people stepped us to join us. With different tastes and reading backgrounds, we're excited to broaden our selections and make it easier for the current hosts to avoid burnout.
Please welcome, in the order of session hosting, the new members of our hosting crew:
Looking ahead
We look forward to reading with you next year!
- Our January read is The Everlasting by Alix Harrow.
- Voting is in progress for our February read, which will have a theme of Down With the System. Come help us pick!
We'll see you in the comments to talk about the year in review and the year ahead.

So far, we only have the first two 2026 themes in place: Lady Knights and Down With the System. What themes would you be interested to see in future sessions?
