I went with the WIdow Spy. I'm reading it now, regardless of if it gets picked or not. But!!!! if it does get picked, I'll actually be able to talk about it here! Which is exciting, b/c I don't normally get to read the book picked at the same time as everyone else. The library wait list has me so far behind, it's laughable.

I'm excited about this ook though. After all the movies and stories told about it, to finally get the first hand account, is so much better. I'm only in the first couple of chapters but I can't wait to get in further.

Tune81, let me know how Widow Spy turns out for you.  That looks interesting.

I read Code Name Verity last month and loved it.  As it turns out, it's one of my favorite reads so far this year.

Showmegirl, at the. Moment I'm bawling my eyes out over her recount of her husbands death and the trouble they had getting his body back. The book includes excerpts from his journals during the time before his death. Her struggle to find a life with out him.

I finished it. And it was awesome!! It. Tells all about how her arrest happened, what lead to it, how the drop was compromised, what her life was like, all of it. You can tell there were some things she still didn't tell about, but most of it is there. Really puts the spy movies into perspective. She tells about going to the movies and her first time going to the measure exhibit that she is featured in. There's also pictures in the books. Some that her first husband took, some she took, some the KGB took. It tells of her imprisonment and everything. It's a huge departure from what I usually read, but it was really good. She does a good Job of sticking to the facts, and then telling you what she felt. So you get the clinical, this what this means, but then you get, "I always kept a beer in my car for after so I could relax" great book! Deffinatly read it!
