1.Once a year paczkis. Mine are fresh peach, fresh strawberry and lemon crème.
2.Drove up to Lake Geneva for the amazing orange duck at Mars.
3.Lung doctor said I had the healthiest sounding lungs he‘d heard all week and not to come back for a year.
4.One queen bee.
5.Breakfast with two best friends at IHOP where we went so I could get their stuffed French toast, but it‘s gone! BOO! And I should‘ve taken a pic ⬇️

Lesliereadsalot Northwest suburbs of Chicago. They truly have the best ones there, but they‘re available at lots of bakeries all around. Google Sweet T‘s Bakery to see the list of amazing flavors, one week only. @peaKnit 4d
Lesliereadsalot I like bavarian crème too! Honestly, I could get one of every flavor and be happy! @Bookwormjillk 4d
Bookwormjillk @Lesliereadsalot we used to get an amazing variety when we lived near Cleveland. Now in Virginia not so much but I'm happy when I see them. 4d

Wow. Incredibly raw and well-written piece reflecting on the landscape of journalism: how and why things become news, the conveyor belt of stories, and where we as correspondents, editors, and readers fall short.

There was a lot of info here. Luckily, Goldberg writes in a very engaging, witty, and humorous way; other wise it would've read like a dry history text. The individual POVs from each side were interesting and enlightening and sometimes frustrating. Overall, a very worthy read.

This completed a second bingo for the month; yayyy!

79/62

"On the morning of the fine spring day, full of sunshine, that ended with my arrest in Gaza, I woke early from an uneven sleep, dressed, and pushed back to its proper place the desk meant to barricade the door of my hotel room."

Ok, a #BookSpinBingo book for another bingo that I actually have not read ?

Kim Ghattas is an Emmy Award-winning journalist born and raised in Lebanon who has spent 20 years covering the Middle East for the BBC and Financial Times. This well-researched book argues that 1979 set Saudi Arabia and Iran on a path that‘s shaped the Middle East. Ghattas has a readable style and I came away feeling but there are a lot of figures in play here and despite a useful list, I sometimes found myself confused about who was who.
