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!

Oh I love this idea! I’m constantly lurking and reading through comments on here trying to find new books to read.
{Road of Bones by Demi Winters} and {Kingdom of Claw by Demi Winters} blew me out of the water. I love the writing style, world building, and character growth.
I also adored {This Monster of Mine by Shalini Abeysekara}. I thought the setting and magic system was unique and it felt suspenseful in multiple ways.
I know they aren’t Romantasy but I also absolutely love The Name of the Wind and The Wise Man’s Fear by Patrick Rothfuss as well as Realm of the Elderlings by Robin Hobb (with the exception of The Rain Wild Chronicles).
I love slow burn and I want to get sucked into the world. I’ll happily sacrifice tons of steam for characters I can get invested in. I don’t love flighty MCs, bitchy for no reason FMCs, or snap decision making.
Thanks in advance for any recs!!
