lately i have been thinking about code name verity once again. what if we met on a world war 2 airfield and our friendship was forged in the fire of bombs and blood and death you invited me into your world in a whimsical scottish castle and i invited you into my world in the sky and you were an interrogator and you were almost chocked to death by a prisoner and i held you while you cried and in those fleeting moments in each other's arms everything was beautiful in spite of the horrors but then we crash landed in france and you got captured by the nazis and you thought i was dead and you told the story of our friendship to keep me alive in your head while you committed one final act of heroic self sacrifice and then you asked me to kill you via homoerotic code so you didn't have to get tortured to death and after i shot you the story you wrote about us was the only thing keeping you alive to me. and we were both girls.

#blahs #code name verity #craziest most insane book ever published. desperately need to reread for the umpteenth time i need a good cry #ALSO just realising this book literally said we're all stories in the end so make it a good one #and it said stories are where memories go when they're forgotten AND it said every story ever told really happened!!!! #rip julie beaufort stuart you would've loved doctor who

For as many tv/movie adaptations of WWII stories that exist, it boggles my mind that no one has adapted Code Name Verity (or any of the other books by that author) yet. It has everything you could possibly want in a story: spies, plot twists, interrogations, unreliable narrators, tragedy, lady pilots, and a central female friendship that’s actually an epic love story.

#code name verity #thought about ‘kiss me quick hardy’ and emotionally collapsed all over again #the queerbaiting in a tv show adaptation would be EPIC #and with the other books in the series a tv show/miniseries might be the best method of adaptation #gonna guess the real reason it hasn’t been adapted yet is because it would be a majority female cast #and allows those women to occupy the narrative space and action that men do

"Queenie, herself again, took hold of Maddie’s hand and squeezed it tightly. She walked all the way back across the airfield without letting it go. Maddie closed her eyes and flew again in the ethereal, pale green light. She knew she would never let it go."

“If Julie is not already dead—if she is not already dead she is counting on me. She is calling me, whispering my name to herself in the dark.”

#i love this book so much but it hurts so much oh my god #i got to the part where maddie sees jamie in the field #he kisses her for show and paul says some shit about thinking she didn’t like men #and jamie tells him to fuck off because yeah paul is a creep #but i love reading that like jamie knows and he’s defending her and his sister #anywayyyyy #code name verity #dear diary

Forgiveness is not an easy thing to grow into. But the ability to consider forgiveness, for oneself and for others, is a first step.

any book recs from/about 1920s-40s?? love that era ❤️

OF COURSE. Love reading abt it too. I also tried to summarise the story a bit without any spoilers. Hope you enjoy these! If I think of any more, I’ll add them in.

HISTORICAL FICTION

#1: Code Name Verity by Elizabeth Wein

This is SUCH A GOOD BOOK. I just finished reading it. It's about a British spy who gets captured by Nazis. It’s told by the spy telling a story to her captors. It has so many plot twists. It’s also in a series if you want to continue with the characters; I’m reading them in this order:

#2: Rose Under Fire by Elizabeth Wein

#3: The Enigma Game by Elizabeth Wein

#4: The Pearl Thief by Elizabeth Wein

#5: Lovely War by Julie Berry

I love this book. It’s told by the Greek goddess Aphrodite, about two love stories, each taking place in WW1 and WW2. It’s a beautiful story. 

#6: The Book Thief by Markus Zusak

This book is a classic. A German girl becomes friends with a Jewish man, and also as the title suggests, she steals books. Also recommend watching the movie after!

WRITTEN IN THE ERA

#7: 1984 by George Orwell (1949) 

I haven’t read this one yet, but from what I hear it sounds really good. From what I know, it’s about a closely monitored dystopian society.

#8: Rebecca by Daphne du Maurier (1938)

This one is on my book list. I’ve seen both the 1940 and 2020 movies. It’s about a woman who marries a guy, and everybody is still obsessed with the guy's last wife (Rebecca). It’s crazy. SUCH A BIG PLOT TWIST AT THE END.

Currently reading Great Circle and it's bringing back Code Name Verity feelings. I read that book EIGHT years ago, it shouldn't be able to still mentally destroy me every time female pilots in WWI are mentioned 😭
