    Book Review: Heart of the Sun Warrior by Sue Lynn Tan

    I picked up Daughter of the Moon Goddess on a whim at Homesense and it quickly became one of my favourite reads of 2023, so naturally I knew I needed to finish out the duology.

    June Wrap-Up: Books Read, TBR lists, and What I’m Loving Right Now
