Speed Dating Fantasy Book Characters

In this episode, we're diving into one of the most overlooked yet heartfelt parts of any book: the dedication. Join the I'll Read What She's Reading girls as they explore the touching, funny, and sometimes mysterious dedications that authors pen for their loved ones, mentors, and inspirations. We'll discuss why these dedications are more than just a few lines on the first page—they're windows into the author's world and the stories behind the stories. From tear-jerking tributes to humorous shout-outs, we'll share some of our favorite dedications, and maybe even reveal a few hidden messages you might have missed. Whether you're a die-hard bookworm or just curious about what goes on in the minds of your favorite authors, this episode is sure to make you appreciate the next dedication you read just a little bit more.
