January Reading
Feb. 9th, 2014 04:52 pmKate Nepveu links to a drift compatibility discussion, and I think one could argue Julie and Maddie are TOTALLY DRIFT COMPATIBLE on that ( Spoiler ) alone. *sniff*
Which reminded me that I have read books!
Code Name: Verity (Elizabeth Wein) (2012): WW2 fiction about two friends, English and Scottish, spy and pilot, and a mission in occupied France that goes sideways. Emotional wrecking-ball which had a great deal of research poured into developing a line of argument the author's story could have happened. ( Spoilers, all the spoilers. ) Marked as teen/YA, but I'd rate this at the more mature end for the grim experiences as a captured spy and related emotional wrecking-ball qualities.
I reread large sections of Parable of the Talents (Octavia Butler) (2000) in January. ( Mild, pervasive spoilers, assumption of familiarity with the story under the cut. )
