The Weekly Wrap - The Weekly Wrap #181
Like what you’re reading? Consider sharing it with a friend. Now that our kiddo is in public school, I'm working on becoming a volunteer. I'm interested in helping in the school library (obviously) and tagging along on a field trip or two. Before I can do any of that, however, I need to be approved. The approval process involved lots of online paperwork, a background check, and, in a surprise to me, fingerprinting. Mid-week, I started reading Biblio-Style: How We Live at Home with Books by Nina Freudenberger. This is meant to be a coffee table book, but I’m loving the stories. The author interviews her subjects to not just learn about what’s in their library but also how it makes them feel. This is quite a cozy read. *Books shared here are affiliate links for Bookshop.org

[PetaPixel] I learned about Too Good to Go from a podcast. With this app, you can order excess food from local restaurants, bakeries, and grocery stores to keep it from going into the trash. You pay less, the businesses make a little extra money, and there’s less going to a landfill. Everyone wins! We tried it out with a cookie shop down the street. We paid $6 for 9 cookies that are normally $2.50 each. A bakery we like is also on the app. I have a feeling our freezer is going to fill up with tasty morsels. I’ve been getting at least a dozen political fundraising text messages a day. Make it stop! You’re a free subscriber to The Weekly Wrap. For the full experience, become a paid subscriber.
