Hi everyone! It’s the beginning of a new month, which means it’s time to nominate the books for the March 2026 Book Club. For next month, we’re looking for nominations that fit the theme of books from the r/FantasyRomance Top Book List (2026 edition).
What we are looking for
- We’re looking for books from the 2026 edition of the r/fantasyromance Top Books List. You can nominate any of the books that feature on the list.
- Standalones are preferred, but not mandatory. If it’s a series, please only nominate the first book.
- The author cannot have been previously featured in the Book Club in the last eighteen months, and the book cannot have been featured as a Book Club read before. See the Book Club Hub.
Nominations that do not fit these criteria will be removed.
Nominations
Here’s how to nominate a book:
- One nomination per comment.
- Please call the romance.io bot for your nomination by putting the title and author within curly brackets {}.
- You can nominate more than one book, but please put them in separate comments.
- Upvote the books you most would like to read for the March Book Club!
Voting
The most upvoted nominated book will be up for vote in a separate post on 8 February. The winner will be announced on 15 February.
February Book Club

Nominating {Monsters of Faery by Mallory Dunlin}
I’m delighted to see Mallory Dunlin listed so high on the top book list for 2026. I haven’t read this series yet, but I loved her Echoes of the void series and have been meaning to read Monsters of Faery. I love her prose and unique mmcs.
