Linda-Marie Barrett / Executive Director:
Reading: Everything Glittered by Robin Talley. I picked up a galley at NVNR and am enjoying this queer historical murder mystery set in DC during Prohibition. Next up is a reread of Shark Heart for my book club, one of the most imaginative and moving novels I’ve experienced in ages.
Listening: Healing Harmonies station on Calm, somewhat bland but soothingly perfect for this moment.
Watching: The Great British Baking Show, an hour of goodness, silliness, and inspiring bakes.

Candice Huber / Membership:
Reading: Just started The Dead Cat Tail Assassins by P. Djeli Clark and loving it so far! I will read anything Clark writes. His writing is so compelling!
Listening: To my favorite band, Jukebox the Ghost, after seeing them in concert last week! Watching: I patiently wait all week for Agatha All Along to drop!

Nicki Leone / Communications:
Reading:Enter Ghost by Isabella Hammad, We're Alone by Edwidge Dandicat, and Ta-Nehisi Coates' The Message, which I just started because I've gotten interested in "craft" books by writers.
Listening: Between the Covers remains my favorite "think deep thoughts" podcast (David Naiman has the perfect job!), but this week Slightly Foxed talks to Adam Sisman about, his "secret annex" followup to his biography about David Cornwell, The Secret Life of John Le Carre (the women of Hoxton Square were all aflutter). Also Katie Hessel, host of The Great Women Artists podcast, has a lovely discussion with the niece of Tove Jansson, and a more breathtaking talk with Emerson Bowyer on the sculpture and life of Camille Claudel that is just...just. I mean, I knew about her, but I didn't really know about her.
Watching: The DVD of Cold Comfort Farm is in the player.

SP Rankin / Website Administrator:
Reading: I am finally three whole pages into Sarah Perry's Enlightenment, which seems like a major accomplishment these days.
Listening: I am gradually finishing the Between the Covers podcast episode featuring Vajra Chandrasekera (which Nicki recommended after I went on a slight rant about a TV show), which is a completely fascinating discussion on genre, history, writing, world-building, and more. And I have just started the audiobook of Chandrasekera's 2023 fantasy novel The Saint of Bright Doors.
Watching: The clock reach 9 PM every Wednesday, which is when new episodes of Agatha All Along are released.

Andrea Richardson / Sales:
Reading: All the spooky things! I'm about halfway into The Best American Mystery & Suspense 2024 (edited by the amazing SA Cosby) and it's a fabulous collection - so many of my favorites are featured.
Listening: Since it's spooky season I'm back into my true crime podcast and Generation Why is currently in my ears.
Watching: My coworker recommended Chimp Crazy and OMG it is a wild ride. Think Tiger King with chimps.
