About Us
Leaf & Wander is a book club for those who know a great book deserves a great conversation. For those who crave a story that stick with you long after the last page has been turned. We believe that the best way to wander the world is one page at a time - and the further you leaf, the further you wander. Read for the adventure, but maybe go on it with us, too.

![Recently I’ve: gotten stranded in the middle of the ocean, been stuck in a time loop (twice), survived a missile crisis, been forced to share a vacation rental with an ex/rival thanks to a dead parent’s dying wish (also twice??), moved into a cursed town, traveled through a few wormholes, read a bunch of books about people reading books, and created stories to share with the world (this one three times 🥹).
In other words: my recent reads. Swipe to see how my month went 📚
