“Code name verity” is a book about a prisoner during World War II and how that war changed her life and the one from everyone close to her.

“Code name verity” was a good historical fiction. However, I was expecting something different from this book, I do not know what but definitely something different. The first part of the book was really difficult for me to get through, there were a lot of flashes to the past of the main character and the language was not easy either. Moreover, because I do not really fully understand the first part I could not fully understand the second part of the book. From what I did understand I liked the story but it was not captivating and not really interesting. In my opinion, it was another story about the World War II, and I know they are many people that love reading this stories that even when they are fiction they could have been truth. I am just not one of them, I like historical fiction but when they are about other thing different than the war, when they give some hope.

I recommend this book to those who love typical World War II stories, however if you do not you might have some problems like I did to get through with it.

Half Year Wrap Up and July TBR

Hello everyone, as I said on my update and favorites post I’m sorry I’ve been absent lately. Because of that, I’m not going to do a monthly wrap up, but a middle of the year wrap up. I can’t believe we have already hit the middle of the year, but here we are and I’m four books behind in my goodreads challenge, which is more or less like a month. It isn’t much considering how little time I have had to read, as well as many other things, and considering there were two months in which I didn’t finished one book. We start with January, the best month reading wise I’ve had in years, I completed a total of 8 books in addition to a novella and a graphic novel. Not only that, I also highly enjoyed most books I read during that month “Captivated by You” by Sylvia Day. The last book published in the Crossfire series, really liked it, and I can’t wait for the next book which I think might be the last. (4/5) “Conociendo a Raul” by Blue Jeans. The novella I read, prequel to “El Club de

Weird things start happening and the only one that can be blame is Morgan who is uninitiated, since now Ciaran is on the run, and Selene and Cal dead. Hunter brings someone to help her out but her solution to things kinds of goes to extreme. Also, Alisa leaves the coven, since all the things happening scared her off. “Strife” was a good book in the series but it got me lost a little bit. They introduced Alisa’s point of view which kinds of puts me off a little bit and all in all it was a little tedious
