We Read Romance is an online book club community for romance readers.

Our official pick—October 2026

This month, we’ll be reading our second Laurie Gilmore book together—the first in her new Maple Hollow series.

This story is a sexy retelling of Little Red Riding Hood, the perfect little paranormal, magical read for fall.

You can find us yapping about the hot wolf here.

Where can you find us? 

We are in Discord! This space is more interactive than our old home in Fable and provides us with the ability to share more with each other and host live meetings.

This is perfect for those who are looking for a community experience. It’s free, it’s fun, and it’s always no pressure.

A digital invitation to join 'The We Read Romance Book Club' in the Discord app with a profile picture of a smiling woman holding an orange popsicle, and information about 3 online members and 67 total members.

This month, we’ll also be tackling a sentient object romance about a woman who falls in love with her giant Halloween decoration. What could be more fun than that?

As always, all side quests are totally optional and are basically just buddy reads on steroids. If more than three of us want to read something, you better believe it’ll become a group side quest.

This one, I am certain, will not take itself too seriously.

Just a little side quest read
