BookBitch Diary: July 1, 2025 As my regular readers know, I've been struggling with various eye issues for years now, and not surprisingly, my eyes are getting worse. It's become exceedingly difficult for me to read a print book anymore. I am listening to more and more audiobooks and reading print exclusively on my Kindle or iPad. I know there are other e-readers out there, and at one point, I had a Nook, which Barnes & Noble sold to compete with Kindle.

BookBitch Diary: July 1, 2025: Hot firemen, Former Librarian of Congress Carla Hayden speaks out, make your own Crunchwrap Supreme, ChatGPT cooking, James Beard Awards, the Goodyear Blimp turns 100, and so much more! #bookbitch #food #foodie #books #reading #JamesBeardAwards #bookstagram #boksky

Went to #JinJuPatisserie in #Portland today, fresh off their #JamesBeardAwards win earlier this week. Waited an hour, but totally worth it. Got a warm chocolate croissant fresh from the oven, plus a lemon tart, chocolate cake, and dark choc mousse. Every bite was incredible. #TravelAddicts #PDXfood
