Linda-Marie Barrett / Executive Director:
Reading: Detransition, Baby by Torrey Peters. Beautifully written, and one of the most eye-opening reads I've experienced in a long time. Each page is a revelation.
Listening: Our neighborhood is akin to a bird sanctuary, especially in the morning. With my handy Merlin app, I've been learning to identify different birdsong and bird calls, which is great fun.
Watching: Death in Paradise, but desperately seeking gentle, big-hearted alternatives.

Candice Huber / Membership:
Reading: I saw that The Lotus Empire by Tasha Suri is now on Edelweiss, so I couldn't help myself and started it immediately. I also just started The Nightmare Before Kissmas by Sarah Raasch, which I'm hoping will be great fun to read alongside the intensity of The Lotus Empire.
Listening: Started The Honey Witch by Sydney J. Shields. I love cozy fantasy and witches, so hoping this hits the spot!
Watching: I am unashamedly binging The Vampire Diaries, as I've never seen it, and I love teen supernatural drama shows because I don't have to think very much about them.

Nicki Leone / Communications:
Reading: Light in Gaza: Writings Born of Fire, edited by Jehad Abusalim, Jennifer Bing, and Mike Merryman-Lotze, Her Side of the Story by Alba de Céspedes.
Listening: Laura Nyro albums.
Watching: Regeneration (the movie version of the Pat Barker book).

SP Rankin / Website Administrator:
Reading: In time for a plane ride, Anna Dorn's Perfume & Pain. It's supposed to be funny, which I sincerely hope is true since it's a long flight.
Listening: Allison Russell's 2023 album The Returner, especially the song "Demons." If Cowboy Carter struck a chord, then Allison Russell will probably strike a few more.
Watching: I have been visiting one of my kids and we watched all of the new Bridgerton half-season like the rest of the entire world, probably. It's so very much not my thing, honestly, but I somehow couldn't stop watching and will definitely binge the rest of the season the instant it comes out. And then probably watch the other seasons. And I can't even blame anyone else.

Andrea 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.
