Join the Romanceopoly 2026 Study Sessions: monthly romance book club picks, a BYOB prompt, cozy activities, and simple ways to stay motivated all year.
Romanceopoly 2026 Study Sessions
The Romanceopoly reading challenge has a lot going on. Study Sessions are the part where we slow down and read together. This page is the Romanceopoly 2026 Study Sessions hub, aka the optional monthly book club add-on for the Romanceopoly reading challenge. Every month, you’ll find one featured romance pick, a flexible BYOB option (if you want to participate but can’t find the book chosen, or just isn’t your vibe at all), and a small bookish activity to keep things fun.
Bookmark this page. We’ll update it all year.
And if you don’t know what the challenge is all about, check out the Romanceopoly reading challenge details page and join us anytime.
What are Romanceopoly Study Sessions?
Study Sessions are our monthly Romanceopoly book club. They’re optional, low-pressure, and built for real-life readers who sometimes cannot get the book, do not want the book, or simply changed their personality overnight. But also, we will try to make them fit also multiple prompts within the challenge at large.
Each month includes:
- Featured book club pick: the “if you want to read with the group” choice
- BYOB prompt: a themed backup so you can still join the conversation
- A simple bookish activity: just for fun, not homework
- Romanceopoly tie-ins: double-dip ideas when they apply (for the featured pick)
Think: cozy structure, minimal commitment, maximum community energy.

January 2026 Romanceopoly Study Session
Featured pick: Accidentally Wedded to a Werewolf by Isabelle Taylor
The vibe: grumpy-sunshine in a cozy, snowy monster town, with fated mates and “we are absolutely not married, except we kind of are” complications.
What it’s about (quick summary):
Luna is a spoiled heiress who should be on a beach with her fiancé, but instead gets snowed in at Claw Haven, Alaska, a cozy monster town where creatures go to live quietly. She ends up at a run-down inn run by Oliver, a grumpy werewolf who is hot until he speaks. Then a potion mishap creates a bond that basically says: surprise, you’re “married” now. Oliver does not want a wife, or feelings, or town gossip, and he is also dealing with losing his ability to shift. Unfortunately, the bond has opinions, and so does the chemistry. Expect small-town monster coziness with spice.

January BYOB prompt

Enter your email below, and we’ll send this post straight to your inbox. Plus, you'll join fellow readers and receive my book recommendations each week!
Because Discord made a very fair point: not everyone can easily get the monthly pick so we’ve added a prompt option so you can still join with your preferred read that fits the vibe.
Bring Your Own Book prompt: A winter-themed paranormal romance set in a small town.
We’re going for winter comfort, cute and cozy vibes. Snowy streets. Hot drinks. A supernatural love interest who is either protective, grumpy, or both.
Double-dip ideas for Romanceopoly
If you’re trying to stack prompts like a responsible reader goblin, here’s where January’s pick can fit:
- Lycanthrope Hall
- Arcane Theory Hall
- If we fudge the rules a bit: Frostbitten Trials for Shimmer Clash (use your best judgment, challenge police are not real – the January pick is a paranormal romance, this prompt calls for fantasy romance, eh)
January bookish activity: TBR Scratch-Off Cards
This month’s activity if you choose to join in is TBR scratch-off cards, because decision fatigue is real and your TBR deserves to be a little game play.
What you’ll do: make a set of scratch-off cards (use prompts or titles in them) and you can reveal when you need your next pick. You can use them for your everyday TBR or make a Romanceopoly-specific set.
Tutorial note: I’ll be posting a full tutorial for making these (including a reading journal-friendly version). When it’s live, it will be linked here.
January check-in prompts:
If you want a simple way to post your update in Discord or Fable, steal this:
- What book did you pick for January (featured or BYOB)?
- Which prompt(s) are you using it for?
- Rate the vibe: cozy, chaotic, spicy, or unexpectedly emotional?
- What did you think of the main characters? The setting?
- Was the vibe good for the month?
February will be announced around mid-January. Come back here to check in, and join the conversation here so you do not miss it, on Discord or Fable
Romanceopoly 2026 Study Sessions FAQ
Do I have to read the featured pick?
No. The BYOB prompt is the whole point to give you that freedom. The featured pick is a fun option that we can hopefully read together, but we understand sometimes that may be difficult.
What if the featured pick is not available at my library or in my country?
You can either skip that month, or use the BYOB prompt. I know some of you like to have things completed and don’t want to skip if there’s a way around it.
Is this a traditional book club?
It’s more like a reading challenge support group with better vibes. Monthly structure, lots of flexibility, zero pressure. We are not sitting down to dissect our reads, just want to stay connected to make sure you check in with the challenge. Hopefully that also helps you finish it.
