Book 2: Read a book that has the word “wonder” or one of these synonyms for various meanings of “wonder” in its title/subtitle: surprise, awe, sight, marvel, question, ponder.

No - the task is restricted to the words listed.

Ah, I missed that those words made up a list and were not just examples of synonyms.

There's no trick to this task - if the specified words are found in the title, and the books otherwise fit SRC rules and add up to the required # of pages, the books work.
