Canada Day Book Recommendation

Canada Day Book Recommendation Featured Image

Happy Canada Day to all of my fellow Canadians out there! In honour of it being Canada Day I wanted to take this opportunity to recommend a few books by a very lovely Canadian author. I wanted to take today to recommend June because I feel like her books should be more widely known and read. If you’re a fan of historical kdramas you will definitely love her books. So let’s check out June and her wonderful stories!
