Black Dove, White Raven | 
Elizabeth Wein. Really, that should be all you need to know. She flies planes and writes about strong women flying planes. She pulls no punches, and like Joss Whedon, people get hurt and even die. Why aren‘t you reading her work?
pickI would have never chosen this book on my own. Pilots and War in Ethiopia? Sounds depressing. My favorite librarian recommended it when I need something on CD so I decided to give it a listen. After all it was Elizabeth Wein. I LOVED IT! Wonderful brother/sister relationship. Adventure, bravery when you are scared. So good!

I've started reading this at last. Looking forward to it!
Starting this one now. As a half Ethiopian I'm excited that it is set in Ethiopia. ☺️
I liked Code Name Verity, I loved Rose Under Fire, and I'm eagerly digging into Black Dove, White Raven. #riotgrams #currentread #elizabethwein
Beautiful observation on grief.
"I love that phrase: soul mate. We asked Grandma what it meant and she said, 'Two people who understand each other without talking about it. Two halves of a whole.'
'Like being married?' I asked.
'No,' Grandma said. 'It could be anybody. Father or mother or sister or friend. A teacher or someone you work with. Anybody. Any two people who understand each other so well that one of them can fly blindfolded and the other will stand unafraid."
Big fan of Code Name Verity. The rest of the books from this library trip have failed me. Let's hope this doesn't and lives up to this writers amazingness.
