I'm reading John Guy's biography of Thomas Becket. It's a little slow right now, but I'm hoping things will pick up once Henry enters the scene.

I spent yesterday riveted by Elizabeth Wein's WWII/YA novel, "Code Name Verity". At first I wasn't certain I was going to like the narrative. The first half of the book is a written confession of an SOE agent who had been caught and tortured by the Gestapo while on a mission in France. As she's writing down secrets that could possibly be used by the Germans, she puts herself into the PoV of her best friend, which was odd at first, but I very quickly got pulled in by the story despite that. The story turned out to be quite the edge-of-your-seat nailbiter, and I even cried at the end. This is one of those novels that is at the upper end of YA. The main characters are, give or take a year or two, age 20 or 21 during the main events of 1943. The history of women in the Air Transport Auxiliary and WAAF was quite interesting to read about as well. Overall, I thought it was a beautiful tale of courage and friendship during wartime.
