Some #Fantasy titles from my way out of control #TBR These are also some of my #OnceUponABookClub titles which means they also have wrapped gifts. Hoping the next #Roll100 picks one to push me through some #OUABC boxes!

The #OnceUponABookClub box for February that I received yesterday has this book about the Vietnam #War
I have avoided Kristin Hannah books & many war books because I have to be in the *right* mood for sad stories & that‘s been harder lately. But hey, the #OUABC box includes 4 mystery gifts to open while reading so I may have to dip in soon.😉

Mixed review. I liked Lady Hester some of the time, because she was headstrong and cased her heart. Even as it wounded her. Multiple times. Through multiple men, which was kinda refreshing she didn‘t get stuck with one man. Then she turned around and fought to be who the men in her life saw in her. She tried so hard not to let adversity drag her down. That‘s what made the final bit so powerful. The last hurt more due to it. Was worthwhile.

Honestly, I think this is the book club choice I‘ve found myself most intrigued by. The story of Lady Hester sounds incredible. Maybe just because it‘s historial fiction, if a woman who refuses to be tied down by society. She‘s from a family of adventurers, so why shouldn‘t she be one? I am really intrigued. These are my favorite characters; who refuse society‘s hold.
