What We're Reading/Listening to/Watching

Posted By Nicki Leone, Thursday, May 23, 2024

Linda-Marie BarrettLinda-Marie Barrett / Executive Director:
Reading: Detransition, Baby by Torrey Peters, a window into another world that will forever change this reader. Looking forward to discussing it at my book club in June.
Listening
: To classical music and highway sounds as I barreled down highways, past the Great Smokies, through the Cumberland Gap, and on to Louisville, KY for our Indie Press Social with GLIBA.
Watching
: Electronic and abandoned billboards along my travel route, which are alternately funny and terrifying, depending on your POV.

Candice HuberCandice Huber / Membership:
Reading: Mirrored Heavens by Rebecca Roanhorse but saw that Lotus Empire by Tasha Suri is now up on Edelweiss, so I'm about to go back and forth so I can finish two of my favorite series!
Listening
: In between audiobooks, so listening to the sounds of the airport on my way to SIBA's Indie Press Social in Louisville, KY!
Watching
: About to watch Three-Body Problem.

Nicki LeoneNicki Leone / Communications:
Reading: Light in Gaza: Writings Born of Fire, edited by Jehad Abusalim, Jennifer Bing, and Mike Merryman-Lotze, We Wrote in Symbols, Love and Lust by Arab Women Writers, edited by Selma Dabbagh. But for my next big sink-your-teeth-into-it summer fiction I'm reading Her Side of the Story and The Forbidden Notebook, both recently available in English from the Italian feminist writer Alba de Céspedes -- who I never heard of! I only stumbled across the name because Elena Ferrante wrote the forward to The Forbidden Notebook.
Listening: Having listened to Judi Dench, Shakespeare, the Man Who Pays the Rent, I am now revisiting my Arkangel Shakespeare productions with entirely new eyes and ears.
Watching: In a fit of nostalgia, Simon Schama's The Power of Art.

SP RankinSP Rankin / Website Administrator:
Reading: New on my shelf: The Three Escapes of Hannah Arendt: A Tyranny of Truth, cartoonist (New Yorker) Ken Krimstein's 2018 graphic biography of Hannah Arendt.
Listening:
Just in time for a long flight, Tiger Blood, the new album from Waxahatchee (the performing name of singer/songwriter Katie Crutchfield); Washed Out's new album, Purple Noon; a cover of Steely Dan's "Dirty Work" by King Princess that was in Hacks; Chappell Roan's album The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess
Watching:
The hilarious, outrageous, mean but open-hearted third season of Hacks starring the brilliant Jean Smart, long may she reign.

Andri RichardsonAndrea Richardson / Sales:
Reading: I'm sitting in decision paralysis because I don't have anything I need to read and so much I want to read, I can't pick where to start. Send help.
Listening: Birds chirping outside and my cats chirping at the birds inside. Watching: Jeopardy! Masters - I can't get enough of those folks.
