(From wwww.pingwings.ca)Source: Borrowed from Jessica of Read My Breath AwayHoly cow the reviews I read for this book…I don’t know how it could have taken me this much time to read this one, since I was dying to find out what it was about this story that seemed to really strike a chord with people!H...
Oh – my – goodness. I haven’t cried at the end of a book since The Fault in Our Stars by John Green. I mean, WOW. In this historical fiction filled thriller, we meet Verity who is writing journal entries while captured by the Gestapo. Now, let me be very clear that it WILL take you more than half of...
This is a hard book for me to review, so I'm going to do things slightly differently this time around. I'm going to address a few specific aspects of the book. But let me say right off the bat: I absolutely loved this book.VerityThe first half of the book is written as Verity's "confession," commiss...
Today is the UK release date of Elizabeth Wein's new book, Rose Under Fire, a companion to Code Name Verity (link goes to my review). If you've been around here at all for the past year, you have probably discovered that I'm a huge fan of CNV. More than that I'm a huge fan of all Elizabeth Wein's bo...
After reading the abundant amount of rave reviews and seeing all of the awards this book was both nominated for and won, I knew this was one worth checking out. While I didn't love it as many have, it was still a heart wrenching and devastating tale about two girls who are best friends that become l...
So, reading the last 25 pages on the subway on the way to work? Really bad idea. Trying to keep from blubbing (so to speak) all over my neighbors was a trial that I mostly failed at.So much better than a lot of the YA schlock out there, this really transcends the genre. A passing interest in World W...
I started this an audio and had to switch to print. It was a fantastic narration in a gorgeous Scottish accent, but I couldn't bear the drawn out pace and switch of mood between the first and second parts. After the switch I stayed up til 2 am to finish it.There were many things I hoped for as I rea...
Originally, when I read this book I gave it 3 stars. I thought the beginning was hokey, but then after a few pages it became interesting. Then a lot of aviation jargon was thrown in and that just didn’t really interest me. Anyway, I kept reading and the story became interesting again, but not intere...
I had such high hopes for Code Name Verity, after seeing this book listed on so many bloggers' End of Year surveys last year. Perhaps it was my unrealistically high expectations, but I didn't love the book as much as I had hoped that I would.I liked it, don't get me wrong. Elizabeth Wein definitel...
Among my Goodreads friends, Code Name Verity seems to fall very clearly into two categories: "Not for me" and "True love 5ever!". There are actually very few people I know who sit in between these. When I first attempted Code Name Verity, I thought I was Camp A. Upon second attempt, turns out I'm Ca...
