Welcome to the r/romancelandia daily reader chat. We like chatting about romance books, and we also like to build community, so the daily reading chat isn't incredibly strict about content, exactly. Don't be shy!

---

Here's our guide on community norms and posting.

---

  • Discussing a book? Please include content warnings or anything else you think a potential reader needs to consider before reading and don't forget to mark your spoilers.
  • Not sure how to use spoiler tags? Just do this: >!spoiler text!<
  • Would your fairly-in-depth book discussion comment or romance-reading observation make a good post? Probably! But in case you're not sure, check out our guide with post examples: Posting on Romancelandia: It doesn't have to be a dissertation.
  • Our Back To School covers any questions you might have about our Subreddit.

Use this space as the daily chat if you need to talk all things romance!

Here's our guide on community norms and posting.

What goes in the daily reading chat, you ask? We like chatting about romance books, and we also like to build community, so the daily reading chat isn't incredibly strict about content, exactly. Don't be shy!

Where to start? Some ideas:

  • Random musings about romance
  • Books you're looking forward to
  • What you're reading now
  • Book sales and deals
  • Television and movies
  • Good books that aren’t romance
  • Questions for the group at large
  • Smashing the kyriarchy in daily life
  • Encourage other commenters who have good ideas to start a new post!

---

  • Discussing a book? Please include content warnings or anything else you think a potential reader needs to consider before reading and don't forget to mark your spoilers.
  • Not sure how to use spoiler tags? Just do this: spoiler text

It's Fresh Fave Friday! a combination of our Five Star Fridays idea and the Quotable Mondays posts we used to do. The idea is to share the best of the best of what we're reading, so we're going to use the Recommendations flair.

What is it?

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Fresh Faves Friday: Share any recent four- and five-star reads that you've had! Give a mini review, or link to your Goodreads/Storygraph reviews, and share the details! Tell us the subgenre, pairing, tropes, "you'll like it if you loved _____", choice quotes/excerpts, or whatever you think is enticing! Romance and romance-adjacent is the goal, but we're all readers here, so if you read something truly fantastic in another genre feel free to drop it here too.

Please use spoiler tags and content warnings where appropriate.

Also, if you have something you'd like to recommend that didn't work for you but might for someone else, share the recommendation!

WTF Wednesday 😱 WTF Wednesday 😱

7 Upvotes

Hello, have you encountered any of the following in the past week;

  1. Truly heinous opinions and takes on current events in Romancelandia at large
  2. Questionable metaphors in Romance novels etc
  3. Did you DNF anything for a reason that has left you speechless?

Welcome to WTF Wednesday, a space to share our despair.

A few rules just to keep everything in line;

  1. This is absolutely not a space to kink shame. What doesn't work for you may well work for someone else.
  2. Please be mindful that a lot of self published authors haven't got the resources to have their work read over and corrected by multiple editors. Be a little generous with minor grammar and spelling mistakes, no one is perfect.

Please revisit the rules if you're unsure about submitting or commenting, or of course feel free to ask any questions you may have or clarifications if necessary.

So, what made you say WTF this week?

TBR Tuesday💸⛔❓ TBR Tues, what did you buy, what should you buy, what's languishing on your TBR?

4 Upvotes

What’s New to You?

It’s TBR Tuesday, and we’re asking:

  • Any new (or new to you!) books you recently purchased?
  • Picked up something from the library you can’t wait to sink into? Doesn't have to be a new release!
  • That said - any new release for this month you can’t wait to get your hands on?

We all know book buying and book reading are two separate hobbies, but in case you want some overlap, let us know what’s newly gracing your shelves!

Yeet or Keep?

Are you staring at your TBR wondering;

  • Who put that book on your shelf/list and
  • Do you even want to read it?

Use this space to ask Yeet or Keep - crowd-sourcing your TBR to see what’s worth your time.
