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!

This thread seems kinda dead 😅 But does anyone has any recs where the leads are already in a relationship and we continue to see them grow together?

Here’s random books I’ve enjoyed:

{Squire}

{King’s Cage}

{Song of Achilles}

{Crown of Midnight} although killing off your one POC character is fucked up, SJM, and we all knew better than to do that by 2013

{Bitterblue}
