Read this shortly after watching the nail-biter of a movir for the first time. In text, it's clear just how much help Canada provided to smuggle six American diplomats out of Revolutionary Iran. The author also provides some interesting insights into spycraft, like discussions of convincing "pocket litter", the usefulness of a watercolor kit and the dangers of running into an immigration officer whose signature you forged. Interesting stuff

I‘ve not read or seen this, about Mendez‘s first-person account of a dangerous but successful operation, aided by Hollywood and the Canadian government, to help rescue six US diplomats from Iran in 1979.

Today's prompt had me stumped, but when I did a search for #hollywood on my Goodreads shelves, one book came up. I haven't read this yet, but I loved the movie and I've been meaning to get around to the real account. #maybookflowers

Finished off this book with lavender tea and and almond croissant

Sunday morning

I just started my second paperback of the year

A rare audiobook for me, this is a great telling of this story. While a bit redundant in places, this is so much more fleshed out than the movie (of course), with a better understanding of the situation and the players. It is such an outrageous story that it's a little hard to believe it really happened. A testament to the power of creativity.

I was really anxious this past week so I turned that energy into buying and putting together this bookcase.

Last post today and a rather melancholy one: #somethingborrowed. I borrowed this book and State of Wonder by Ann Patchett from a great scrabble-playing, wine-drinking, life-of-the-party lady a couple years ago. After I finished the Patchett and loved it lots (my first), that lady unexpectedly passed away. I haven't read Argo yet. 😢

Reading novels is fun, but it's time to get back to nonfiction and indulge my history loving side.
