The "3 books" thing was a feature in my 2020-21 journal - I think it was monthly - where you wrote something about three books, and I usually tried to make it three books that had something in common. Here it's YA books with both magic and romance in them.
1. Howl's Moving Castle, by Diana Wynne Jones, which I already posted one entry about lately, from the same 2020 time-frame, so follow the link for that one.
2. Sorcery and Cecilia, cowritten by Patricia Wrede and Caroline Stevemer. There are three of these books, total, and I believe all three of them were written the same way: as a "letter game" - the authors got together and set up the idea for the book, and then they wrote letters, each as one of the two main characters, and they went back and forth until they wound up their plot.
3; Mairelon the Magician and The Magician's Ward (also available in a combined edition as A Matter of Magic) - also written by Patricia Wrede. #2 and 3 also share a Regency setting, one where magic is real. This one starts with a young orphan girl masquerading as a boy, who falls in with an itinerant magician who may or may not be a real magician.
