‘“Kiss me, Hardy!’ Weren’t those Nelson’s last words at the Battle of Trafalgar? Don’t cry. We’re still alive and we make a sensational team.’ - Code Name Verity by Elizabeth Wein. . . . . This is a book I’ve read in halves but goodness it’s one I’ve enjoyed. I find sometimes you get those books that you don’t mind reading over long periods of time, because they sort of fit a feeling of certain times of the year (for me war times stories often fit October/November months), and the story just sticks with you throughout the year and when you pick it up again, you’re back in there with the characters and on with the story you go. I’ve thoroughly enjoyed this thrilling, meaningful and important book about friendship, the sacrifices that were made during the war and the importance of remembering the people who have given us the lives we lead today. Part based on real life eventualities of the war alongside a fictional yet believable storyline, I really have loved reading this book told from the perspective of two brave and brilliant women. I’ve not read a wartime spy novel quite like it. I can’t wait to read more from this author. 📚 . . . . #CodeNameVerity #ElizabethWein #Fiction #WorldWar2 #Bookstagram #WinterRead #AutumnRead #LeastWeForget https://www.instagram.com/p/B6Y_vSug91q/?igshid=1c9nyb30v5dov

第二次世界大戦下のフランスでイギリス特殊作戦執行部員の女性がナチスの捕虜になる。彼女はイギリスに関する情報を手記にするよう強制される。その手記には親友の女性飛行士との日々が物語風に綴られていた。手記が意味するものとは。 一読してなるほど、こういうかたちのミステリもありかと。 主人公はふたりの女性。ひとりはユダヤ人の庶民、もうひとりは貴族階級の血筋。戦時中でなければ出会うことがなかったふたりの友情が描かれている。 第1部は捕虜になった女性の手記、第2部のもうひとりの女性の手記により全体の謎が明らかになる構成。 著者のエリザベス・ウェインは歴史物の児童書作家として知られる。また、小型飛行機の操縦が趣味で、国際的な女性パイロット組織のメンバーでもあるので飛行場面の描写はリアル。 歴史小説、スパイ小説などの要素を含みながら人間ドラマを軸に戦争を描いた読み応えのある良作でした。 エリザベス・ウェイン『コードネーム・ヴェリティ』(12) #読書 #読了 #本 #ミステリ #小説 #book #detectivenovel #codenameverity #elizabethwein https://www.instagram.com/p/B-voEShBdqE/?igshid=gtu2bja5fk5w

Elizabeth Wein came into work this afternoon to speak to Year 9 and it was an absolute pleasure to meet her. (And shh...these aren't new books I shouldn't have bought... 😉) #books #ElizabethWein #CodeNameVerity #BlackDoveWhiteRaven #schoollibrarian

I have quite a few books set during WWII, these are a few of them. 💙💛💙💛 QOTD: What historical period do you enjoy reading about the most? For me, it would be Ancient Greece, WWII and the 18th and 19th century Europe. #wwii#book#books#reading#bibliophile#bookstagram #bookish#bluenandgold#deer#reindeer#bookshelf#bookshelves#reader#bookworm#thebookthief #allthelightwecannotsee #codenameverity#salttothesea https://www.instagram.com/readingwonderlands/p/BxcQuomgpVp/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=135utldorc9e7

Another favourite! As a former history major I am a sucker for any World War II book and Code Name Verity is hands down one of the best I have ever read. I am always looking for more stories of women's experiences during significant points in history so give me your recommendations in the comments! #codenameverity #elizabethwein #yareads #youngadult #historicalfiction #feministfiction #bookstagram #bookworm #booklover #bookobsessed #bibliophile #readinginraincouver https://www.instagram.com/p/Btz751WH8yN/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=14qkqay4997c0

It's not often that I recommend books but these two take the cake at the moment these books are about friendship and bravery and knowing oneself. Code name Verity is honestly one of the most beautiful books I've read in a really long time as well as Rose Under Fire. The thing about Code name Verity is that it has such poignant friendships between Verity and Maddie. As well as in Rose Under Fire with Rose and Roza, Karolina, Lisette, Anna all these amazing beautiful women that come alive on the page. #book #worldwar2 #historicalfiction #elizabethwein #codenameverity #roseunderfire #bookrecommendations

I decided today to post the books I’ve read lately that are about friendship or that make me have some serious friend envy. I love these books for the friendships they portray. I want to do a YouTube video on it and I’ve already drafted a wordpress blog entry about it...but it feels so poignant to go in depth with them and I’m afraid I somehow won’t do them justice... . . What books have great friendship goals in your opinion?? . . The candles here are “Cabeswater” by The Melting Library and “Kindred Spirits” by Muggle Library, which was included in the Dec LitJoy Crate! . . #yalit #igreads #bookstagram #bookstagramfeature #bookcovers #friendshipgoals #bookphotography #codenameverity #ravenboys #truthwitch #magnuschase #foolishhearts #bookdragon #booksandcandles

A looong time ago, @readasaurus_rex tagged me for #stackofbooks and #booknerdqanda and I've finally gotten to it! I've not been so great with tags oops :P . . Q and A! 1. FAVORITE GENRE: honestly anything, but I do lean towards fantasy a bit 2. JENNY HAN OR STEPHANIE PERKINS : Haven't read any Perkins, but I literally JUST finished #ToAllTheBoysIveLovedBefore and really liked it so let's go with Jenny Han? 3. FAVORITE SUMMER READ : honestly I love a good murder mystery to read on the beach. Some #AgathaChristie perhaps. How weird am I? 4. FAVORITE SETTING : Slavic inspired fantasy worlds 5. MOST RELATABLE CHARACTER : gotta say Elinor Dashwood from #SenseandSensibilty. But also Laia from #AnEmberInTheAshes 6. BAD BOY OR FUNNY GUY: Funny! No bad boys for me. I'm always rooting for the nice guy. 7. MUST READ: #CodeNameVerity by Elizabeth Wein 8. MARRY KISS KILL : how does this work if you don't give me options? OOH I KNOW! Give me three guys in the comments and I'll answer ☺️. . . #bookstack #bookishcloseup #macromomday #eventhoitsnotmonday #book #books #bookish #bookstagram #bookporn #booklover #read #reading #bookphotography #booksofinstagram #coverlove #totalbooknerd #bookaholic

#LastBookRead: #CodeNameVerity by #ElizabethWein. Have you ever started to read a book and it kind of gives you a #readingslump, but you refuse to accept it and keep on reading and, at the end, the same book takes you out of the slump? This was this book for me... I struggled with it at the beginning, but it ended up giving me feels and life. 《#vsco #vscocam #vscobooks #books #bibliophile #bookdragon #booklion #bookstagram #booklover #Bookish #bookshelf #bookworm #Bookaholic #booknerdigans #booker #booknerd #TheCatReads #livetoread #Lightroom》

This book read like a chess game. You thought you knew how's the different players lay their pieces, how the game is played, but then everything changes and you are going right back to the start to frantically search what you have missed. It is a masterful historical fiction, it gives the spotlight to the women of WWII, the espionage of the British intelligence and the sacrifices made to ensure wars are won. The one thing I have learnt through this, is that never call a Scot English. #book #glorious #codenameverity #elizabethwein #bookworm #books #bookish #booknerd #historicalfiction #ww2 #bookstagram #igreads #fiction #goodreads #epicreads #iglibraries #booklover

Here's a small collection of books about our human history that make me 😭. I love historical fiction that puts you right in the center not just of a historic event, but of all the emotions of that time, too. Best way I know to learn about other times, other people, and mistakes the human race has made and endured. . #shadesofgrey #rutasepetys #thebookthief #markuszusak #codenameverity #elizabethwein #yahistoricalfiction #squeakybookishlibrary #bookstagram

Another Sunday, another #SignedBookSundays post! This week @bookcrushin and @diamondxgirl are talking about books that make you cry so of course I pulled out CODE NAME VERITY. I read this book when I was a junior in high school and I completely sobbed while reading it. It’s been several years, but it’s still one of my favorite books and I know I need to reread it again. • • What books made you cry? • • • #codenameverity #roseunderfire #elizabethwein #disneybooks #letstalkya #booksandflowers #yabooks #yabookstagram #booklove #igreads #bookstagrammer #yabookstagrammer #yareads #bookobsessed #yalit #booknerd #bookworm #bookshimmy #yahistoricalfiction #ww2books #signedbooks #booksbooksbooks #coverlove #signedbook
