These are the books I plan to get through for the #20booksofsummer challenge. Fantastic way to take a large bite out of my ridiculous TBR stack! These plus GWTW for the #gwtwreadalong, my book club book, and I've already read 5 since June started. Wish me luck! 😀😀📚📚

I really enjoyed this book. The story moved well, I got attached to all the characters and remembered a little more history than I expected. I can't wait to read another book like this!

I don't read a lot of #spynovels so I'm counting this. Elizabeth van Lew was a Union spy in Richmond, Virginia during the Civil War, and this book is a fictional interpretation of her difficulties and bravery. I read this a couple of years ago and was really intrigued by van Lew's story. It dragged from time to time, but I felt that Chiaverini showed me something I wouldn't have seen otherwise, and it was an easy read. #photoadaynov16

silentrequiem Lois Leveen wrote a novel a few years back called The Secrets of Mary Bowser, about one of Bet Van Lew's freed slave spies. It was really good. 7y
readinginthedark @silentrequiem Interesting! I'll look it up, thanks! 7y
