My Mother in Law and I are reading books together! We both like fantasy, especially with magic. Romance is ok, but I don’t want it to be complete smut. (Don’t get me wrong, I love a good romantasy, but not sure about how I feel about reading/discussing with 2nd mom!)
We like a ton separately, but the one we’ve read in our club is ACOTAR.
The Hobbit is a great classic but we are really into trying anything!

I really enjoyed the One Dark Window duology! Minimal smut, but romance, and a unique magic system (tarot-card ish).
Katabasis by RF Kuang was a super interesting read, haven’t read anything like it before. Traveling through the levels of hell.
If you liked ACOTAR, you might like Throne of Glass! To me, it’s even better. More fantasy and less romantasy. It is an undertaking but it’s so fun to read & discuss theories with someone else.
The Hobbit was great
I always reccomend Howl’s Moving Castle too
Maybe some T. Kingfisher. I really liked Nettle and Thorn, Hemlock and Silver was fun. No smut in those ones, but a very small romance. It’s a very very very side part of the story.
