The Weekly Wrap - The Weekly Wrap #116
Like what you’re reading? Consider sharing it with a friend. On Friday, I am giving a webinar on personal archiving. It's free and open to anyone. (You can register here.) Even if you can't attend live, you should watch the recording once it's ready. I picked Egg Drop Dead by Vivien Chien. It is the fifth title in the Noodle Shop mystery series. As is common in these cozy mysteries, the murder has occurred "off-screen" and our heroine is now on the case. For me, these books are more about character and less about the mystery itself. I'm only a few chapters in but there has already been some narrative development to our usual cast. It will be fun to see how this all pans out. I must admit, I hate how the author has to do some info dumpy stuff at the beginning of every book. I get that this is for casual readers who are picking up books in the series at random but, as a regular reader, I hate have to wade through those paragraphs.
The kiddo and I visited the National Gallery of Art with my best friend on Monday. Kiddo mostly power-walked through the exhibits but she did let me linger at this painting - which is good because I love it. [Instagram] AI is everywhere and I am of mixed minds about it. That said, Giftwrap, an AI gift finder, intrigues me. Put in the recipient and a little bit about what they like and you’ll get some options. I’ve got lots of big chunks of empty time on my work calendar. I am going to work on some website coding, gosh darn it! You’re a free subscriber to The Weekly Wrap.
