Fairfax Romantasy Book Club

I'm starting Romantasy Book Club in the Fairfax area, and I'd love to meet others who enjoy reading about fae, dragons, vampires, enemies-to-lovers, morally grey characters, slow burns, magical realms, and a little romance!

Before we choose our first book and officially get things rolling, I'd love to meet everyone and plan the book club together.

🎄 INTEREST MEETING DETAILS 🎄
📅 Wednesday, December 2nd
⏰ 6:00–7:00 PM
📍 Fairfax City Library Room 101A
🔞 Adults 18+ only

And because it's December, I'll be bringing Christmas cookies and milk to enjoy while we chat!

Here are some things I'd love for us to decide together:
📖 How often and what days should we meet? I'm thinking twice a month!
🐉 Should we read standalone books, entire series, or a mixture of both?
❤️ What should our very first book be?
📚 Should we stick strictly to romantasy, or occasionally branch into fantasy, romance, and or other related genres?
📍 Is Fairfax City Library a good location for everyone?
💬 What kind of book club atmosphere are we looking for?

My initial idea for our reading schedule would be to meet twice a month for each book. The first meeting would be a halfway mark where we discuss the characters, theories, predictions, favorite moments, and everything happening so far. The second would be an end of book discussion where we can talk about the ending, our overall thoughts, favorite scenes, and whether the book lived up to expectations.

This will be an 18+ book club because romantasy books can at time include mature themes and explicit scenes.

Why in person?
🫶 Genuine connections: Build real friendships and get to know people face to face.
☕ Socializing: Get out of the house and meet people who share similar interests.
😂 Shared excitement: Laugh, fangirl, debate characters, and share reactions together!
💬 Better conversations: Enjoy natural, spontaneous discussions without lagging or poor connections.
💕 Building a community: Create friendships and connections that go beyond just reading the same books!

You absolutely do NOT need to have any particular romantasy books read or be an expert to join. Just bring your love of reading and your opinions!

I would encourage everyone to come prepared with an idea of a book or series they’d like for us to read together and have an idea of their schedule and which days/times generally work best for them so we can find a meeting time that works for everyone.

Please comment below if you're interested in coming! I'd love to get an idea of how many people to expect.
