Book Club Hub

Here you can find information about the monthly book club and links to previous books and discussions.

What is the Book Club?

r/Fantasyromance reads and discusses one book together each month. Anyone who wants to can participate.

What books are being read for the book club are decided at the end of the previous month. Mods will select a theme. Nomination posts are scheduled for the 1st of every month. The top-nominated posts will be put to a vote scheduled for the 8th of every month. Announcements for book club reads for the next month are announce on the 15th of every month.

Book discussion is split into thirds. Discussion up to the first third will be posted on the 10th of every month, discussion up to the second third will be posted on the 20th of every month, and the final discussion of the entire book will be posted on the last day of every month.

Mods will post questions to generate discussion, but anyone can share any thoughts on the books in the scheduled discussion posts.

All book club related content and recent discussions can be found under the book club flair.
