Do you live with a disability? Or are you close to someone who does? . After all the research I did for KNIFE, I thought I knew a fair bit about mobility and accessibility issues. But when my father needed to use a walker and then a wheelchair, I learned so much more about the challenges that wheelchair and other mobility device users face on a regular basis. Sometimes I felt angry for my Dad’s sake, seeing how little thought is often given to the needs of people who can’t slip easily through narrow doorways or climb stairs. . Anyway, July is Disability Awareness Month, and I’ve got a post up at Go Teen Writers today about including disabled characters in our storytelling. So here’s a stack of books from my own library that feature protagonists with various kinds of disabilities. They’re all good, and many of them are personal favourites of mine. But we need a lot more! . . . #disabilityawareness #disabilityinclusion #disabilitypridemonth #disabledlivesmatter #loismcmasterbujold #thewarriorsapprentice #anneursu #therealboy #meganwhalenturner #thequeenofattolia #queensthief #francescoxstork #marcelointherealworld #elizabethewein #elizabethwein #thelionhunter #leighbardugo #sixofcrows #yalovin #yareads #ireadya #bookstagram #bookish #bookstack #bluebooks #bluebookstack #blueandcream https://www.instagram.com/p/CCwrpJjAV1X/?igshid=lv0jygyc7nzo

‘“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 went to #mckaysnashville this morning with a #list of 41 books I wanted. I walked out with 8. I found about 8 others there, but I could buy them brand new for as much or less. There’s more classics in this #bookhaul than I expected; however, I am excited to begin collecting for my #2020bookproject #agathachristie #jenniferashley #elizabethwein #louisamayalcott #alexandrabracken #charlottebronte #emilybronte #bookstagram #bookworm #reviews #writersofinstagram #writer (at McKay's) https://www.instagram.com/p/B1jfRw_n-c7/?igshid=15fbhxs26hjxm

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

A stunning story of pearls, love and murder... out today in the UK!

The Pearl Thief is the brand new book from Elizabeth Wein, the internationally acclaimed author of Code Name Verity. A wonderful mystery novel set in Scotland in the glamorous 1930s, The Pearl Thief has all the suspense of an Agatha Christie and the intrigue of Downton Abbey.

#nãosubestimeolivro Codinome Verity (resenha no blog) é um livro que se passa na segunda guerra mundial e vai focar principalmente na amizade. O livro é dividido em duas partes. Duas garotas (não posso revelar nomes porque faz parte do mistério que o livro trás) irão narrar uma dessas duas partes. Vamos chamá-las de Garota 1 e Garota 2 (na ordem de narração). A Garota 1 foi pega pelos nazistas na França por cometer um simples erro: olhou para o lado errado da rua na hora de atravessar. Achando que ela poderia ser uma espiã, os nazistas a prenderam e começaram a tortura-la para obter respostas. Mas ela prometeu contar tudo em troca de lápis e papéis (e suas roupas de volta), pois ela iria escrever. A primeira parte do livro é contada como uma historinha, como se estivéssemos realmente lendo o que ela esta escrevendo. A Garota 2 veio para França junto com a Garota 1 porém elas se desencontraram, e agora a Garota 2 precisa encontrar sua amiga e liberta-la antes que a matem. As primeiras páginas do livro são bem chatinha e paradas, a personagem fala muito sobre aviões e cada detalhe deles, mas o livro começa a caminhar bem na página sessenta. O livro possui uma “brincadeira” (vamos chamar assim) onde você precisa ler com tanta atenção para poder entender, mas talvez mesmo assim você não consiga entende a pegadinha da primeira parte do livro onde nada é o que parece. Na segunda parte do livro temos as respostas e as soluções dos “enigmas” e acabamos de boca aberta por não termos percebido antes! É um livro forte, mas ao mesmo tempo bonito e emocionante. Trás a força da amizade e sacrifício que foram necessários. Eu super recomendo esse livro lindo que encantou meu coração e ao mesmo tempo o despedaçou! ♥️✌🏻#Book #books #livro #livros #instabooks #instalivros #lovebooks #amolivros #amoler #euamoler #mysecretbooks #bookstagram #booklover #bookblogger #bookaholic #CodinomeVerity #CodinameVerity #ElizabethWein #EditoraID

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 discovered Harlan Coben this year and read everything he's written so it's not surprising two of his books made my top 5 for 2017.
