Linda-Marie Barrett / Executive Director:
Reading: Funny Story by Emily Henry, a reliably good romance offering relationship wisdom between the quips. Also love that one of the main characters is a children’s librarian. Re-reading Shark Heart for my book club, and can’t wait to hear how they feel about it.
Listening: I am spending the week by the ocean and enjoying all the seaside sounds, the tide against the sands, the wind moving through the tall grasses and palmetto leaves, and birdcalls.
Watching: While waiting for the newest Great British Baking Show episode on Friday, watched Merry Scottish Christmas, one of those “so bad it’s good” Hallmark movies.

Candice Huber / Membership:
Reading: Still on Long Live Evil, and it's really fun so far!
Listening: My partner and I both work from home, and he's been re-watching all the Lord of the Rings movies, so that's been my background noise for the past week.
Watching: I had never seen any Fast & Furious film, so I've been watching through those (had to give my West Wing binge a long-term pause). The tribute they gave to Paul Walker at the end of Furious 7 legit made me cry.

Nicki Leone / Communications:
Reading: I am finding it hard to concentrate, to be honest. Comfort reads and escapist books slide past me without making an impression, but when I try something deeper, I find myself staring at the same page for long periods of time. Time to pull out my Andrea Dworkin books!
Listening: Shakespeare Unlimited podcast -- I'm back into the Covid-era archives now, hearing about all the lock down projects of actors and directors.
Watching: Well, if you don't count Tuesday night, on the advice of SP, The Third Man. Which, WOW.

SP Rankin / Website Administrator:
Reading: A couple of books I don't think I will be able to wait until the holidays to give away. Willpower is overrated.
Listening: The same Martha Wainwright song I listened to on November 9, 2016. I can't share the title or the refrain here, but I encourage anyone reading this to look for it. You'll know it when you see it.
Watching: The 1979 BBC adaption of John Le Carré's masterwork Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy. Dark, labyrinthine, ambiguous, bleak, and a strangely effective respite during these loud and angry times.

Andrea Richardson / Sales:
Reading: All the spooky things! I'm about halfway into The Best American Mystery and Suspense 2024 (edited by the amazing S.A. 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.
