Books with strong female characters
I decided to make a list of "regular" books (as I read MUCH more SF & Fantasy but I do read the other stuff too); and so for those who are looking for some books with strong female characters (in honor of women's history month); here is a list for you of books I have enjoyed. Code Name Verity is an amazing historical fiction story set in England & France during WWII. Verity is a spy, or at least she is arrested as one in France and is writing a diary of her life as a spy while a prisoner of the Nazis (it's actually a mandatory part of her incarceration). Maddie is a pilot and Verity's friend; who dropped Verity off but then lost control of the plane and crashed. Maddie is hoping to be able to get out of Nazi controlled France without dying and is struggling to figure out friend from enemy while in the countryside of France all alone. This is a blindingly fast read with two smart and savvy girls trying to handle terrible things while caught in a war. I
