“I’m looking for truth. Je church la vé·ri·té”

Code Name Verity by Elizabeth Wein

by 3 Comments

CBR 14 BINGO: Shadow, because it deals with shedding light on the truth, which is not always what it seems Code Name Verity has been sitting patiently on my TBR for close to 10 years (having first been published in 2012). I snatched it out of a Little Free Library and thought it would be the … [Read more]
