In Search of Wonder | Weekly Reading Wrap-Up - a fantasy classic, an epistolary rom-com, and a "fall vibes" read @insearchofwonder | Uploaded September 2023 | Updated October 2024, 7 hours ago.
In which I recount my thoughts on my reads this week: a classic book generally credited as being one of the first fantasy novels, an epistolary rom-com set in a fantastical but real world (does that even make sense!? hard to explain what I mean), and a heartwarming story that explores the meaning of family and the relationships that forge us.

POP QUIZ: Anybody know the reason for the shadow picture in my thumbnail? (Hint: See my post about it on IG: instagram.com/insearchof_wonder_)
