Oct 7, 2020
Woohoo! This is my 300th book review! See what I thought of this historical, biographical, women's fiction novel that is being touted as a "summer read" (because of the romance aspect) but I call it "Heaven Scent" (and no, that's not a misspelling) on my blog now! https://tcl-bookreviews.com/2019/07/12/heaven-scent/

The Bird in the Bamboo Cage
4.5/5 Stars! I knew nothing about the Japanese occupation of China during WWII, but this historical, women's, fiction novel really helped fill in that gap. Take a look at my #bookreview on my blog here https://tcl-bookreviews.com/2020/10/09/the-bird-in-the-bamboo-cage/

Oct 5, 2020
