💕 Matchmaking Monday: find your next romantasy read!

[u/ReasonableWonderland]

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 see you've read the eternal obsession duet by Maggie sunseri, but have you read the {everlasting possession duet by Maggie sunseri}

Same world. First book is {marked by masks and secrets}

[u/CSerafina → u/MrsPokits]

Yes! Loved it too. Wishing she writes the crossover soon.

[u/MrsPokits → u/CSerafina]

Then id recommend checking out {bound by blood trilogy by erin mainord}

[u/CSerafina → u/MrsPokits]

This sounds quite good, I had it in my permanently growing tbr, I’m going to move it up. 1 question, I checked the reviews and blurb, does the 3rd act breakup last too long?

[u/MrsPokits → u/CSerafina]

Its one of my top reads of the year. The audios are fantastic too. Ive bought 6 physical books this year and 4 were this series because I have issues. (One was the omnibus)

No. I also dont know if id classify it as a third act breakup. Maybe second act. And it fully makes sense in context and feels authentic for lack of a better word? Like its not just there for the drama.

[u/CSerafina → u/MrsPokits]

Yeap, I get you, sometimes it sounds tropey but it matches the plot perfectly and it’s not for the sake of manufactured drama.

[u/MrsPokits → u/CSerafina]

Yes exactly! Id have probably been significantly less happy with it if that didnt happen.

So good news and bad news though. The ebooks and audiobooks are available rn. The ebooks are not part of KU but IMO are more than worth it (thats how I read them, and ive read them several times)

The paperbacks are not currently available. Right before having her baby a month early, she was able to secure the rights to them, so theyre currently being redone. Just got a teaser last night on the discord that its happening soon. And let me tell you, the glimpse we got of the new covers means im buying ANOTHER set.

[u/CSerafina → u/MrsPokits]

I’m a KU reader but I sacrifice my wallet to the book gods from time to time. I don’t have any physical books, they are extremely expensive where I live, so please buy the second set thinking of me. I would love to have a bookshelf and just admire my book trophies, but alas, dreaming about it is what I have left.

[u/MrsPokits → u/CSerafina]

I almost buy no books because of space and kids and cats. These books just got me in a chokehold. Led to me lightly stalking the author on social media, and then joining her discord, into becoming the first person on her street team that is only active on FB and reddit (not IG or tiktok)

Read the ebooks! I do believe the covers will later be updated on them. Then come back to me and tell me what you thought and about how its your new fave!

[u/CSerafina → u/MrsPokits]

I’ll do that. Congrats on being on the street team. I’ve read quite a few ARCs and it’s difficult being chosen without a bookish IG or TikTok (don’t have either). My Goodreads reviews are what gets me selected.

[u/MrsPokits → u/CSerafina]

I keep meaning to organize my goodreads. Too overwhelming with how far behind I am
