I am curious why people read what they read, so tell me!

Although I loved the body of this book, it totally fell apart in the last fifteen percent.

I know I said I was only going to read one monthly theme book a month this year so I had more time to graze, but it felt not quite right to only read one Black History Month title. This book came highly recommended by Ethan from A Book a Week and it did not disappoint. I would have given it six stars if I could.

GOODREADS
As most of you know I am not a fan of Historical Fiction set in war times, unless the setting is far removed from the battlefields. This was a situation where the book cover and the title grabbed me, and the fact the author was one that I previously loved for a Fantasy series clinched the deal. It wasn't until after I requested it, and went to add it to Goodreads, that I saw the story was set during WWI. I still thought it wasn't going to have battlefield content because the main character is only looking for her missing brother, a soldier, but there are a lot of graphic war scenes. However, the writing is exquisite and the story is more about familial love and friendship than fighting, so I am really liking it.

I thought this sounded perfect for Women's History Month. I stretch this theme a bit by also reading books about female friendships and other relationships like sisters and mother/daughter bonds. This also adds to my Freebie and 99¢ reading challenge.

At some point Liis, from Cover to Cover, and I will be doing our now annual buddy re-read of Jane Eyre for Women's History Month. I will be reading my Penguin Clothbound Classics edition because I bought it used, and it isn't in very good shape, and I want to annotate it.
