DEAR FANTASY READER BOOK CLUB

Every month, we spotlight one romantasy or fantasy book and host a full-length, spoiler-filled livestream to break it down. We pick books we genuinely want to read: indie gems, new releases, or community-approved favorites. Then we go deep on themes, tropes, questions, theories, and more!

Whether you’re here for the discourse, the breakdowns, or the book guides, we’d be so glad to have you!

HOW TO JOIN:

The DFR Book Club is available through our Patreon — and it's just one of the many perks you’ll get when you join!

  • Tier 2 (Dragon Rider) gets full access to the livestreams, replay archive, and exclusive book club chat channels.

  • Tier 3 (Feathertail) gets all that plus voting rights to help us choose our next book!

READING GUIDES:

We create custom Key Detail Guides for many of our monthly book club selections! These include two versions:

  • Key Details PDFs available to Patreon members

  • Visual Guides shared on our Instagram

Each guide is linked below alongside the cover so you can jump straight into the chaos!
