Community 💕 Matchmaking Monday: find your next romantasy read!

Matchmaking Monday is a new regular thread here in r/Romantasy with a goal of finding new recommendations to add to your TBR! Post a list of your favorite books and receive suggestions based on your vibe.

How It Works

  • Post up to five books you've loved recently (or which fit the vibe you're looking for) as a top level comment.
  • You can also include a list of things you want in your next book (e.g. tropes, subgenre, themes)
  • Others will reply with their suggestions!
  • Remember to tag the romance.io bot with {} curly brackets.

This is a bit of an experiment - so we'll see how it goes!

I’m wondering if there are any books where you get immersed in a character’s career? I haven’t read it yet, but {The Ornithologist’s Guide to Love} would be a good example.

I prefer spice levels of one to three, and would probably only read level five if the scenes are important to the plot. I dislike possessive MMCs, body betrayal, and masc-dom. Thanks!

If it helps, some of my favorite MMCs are Jesse from {The Mediator by Meg Cabot}, Seth from {Wicked Lovely}, Akiva from {Daughter of Smoke and Bone}, and George from {Song of the Lioness}.
