Linda-Marie Barrett / Executive Director:
Reading: Iris Kelly Doesn’t Date by Ashley Herring Blake. I’m a fan of Blake’s sweet and sensitive queer romances and Iris Kelly is a perfect escapist read.
Listening: Enjoying classical string quartet music in the background while working and reading. Very soothing!
Watching: Continuing to drift between the Caribbean (Death in Paradise) and the Carolinas (Sweet Magnolias) for my tv viewing. Also watching spring coming into our mountains in western North Carolina, which is so exciting and comforting!

Candice Huber / Membership:
Reading: PLEASE CANDICE finish just ONE book while on vacation!
Listening: To the peaceful sounds of the ocean from my fancy cabana on the top deck of a (nerd) cruise ship. And Sarah Gailey and John Scalzi talking about writing (in person! on a cruise ship!).
Watching: The vast ocean in front of me while contemplating the depths of its mysteries.

Nicki Leone / Communications:
Reading: Still with The Garden Against Time by Olivia Laing (interrupted by spates of actual gardening) and Stone Yard Devotional by Charlotte Wood. And my copy of the Spring edition of Slightly Foxed arrived, which is my de-stress and de-compress reading.
Listening: The audiobook of One Day Everyone Will Have Always Been Against This by Omar El Akkad. It's amazing. Also agonizing.
Watching: Back to watching The Pitt. Blood. guts. gore. kindness.

SP Rankin / Website Administrator:
Reading: Mutual Interest, Olivia Wolfgang Smith's expansive, finely honed chronicle of Gilded Age capitalism. Ruthlessly brash queer heroine (anti-heroine) Vivian Lesperance Schmidt and her husband and his husband join forces to build a soap and perfume empire while trying to live on their own terms in rigid, Whartonesque New York City high society.
Listening: I'm still streaming Radio France's "FIP Pop" station which has led to some welcome new additions to my own library, including Lady Blackbird's jazz and soul inflected album Black Acid Soul.
Watching: I mean, sometimes you just want a well-crafted, well-acted TV show with varying amounts of plausibility. OK, zero plausibility. But don't let that keep you from Elsbeth, a Columbo-style howdunnit starring Carrie Preston's relentlessly quirky lawyer character from The Good Wife and a parade of guest stars enjoying themselves. And really don't let it keep you from Matlock, a semi-reboot (I won't spoil the twist) of the original starring Kathy Bates who invests surprisingly powerful emotional stakes where you really don't expect them.

Andrea Richardson / Sales:
Reading: Sarah's Pinborough's upcoming We Live Here Now. It's a spooky, haunted house twisty that I'm really enjoying.
Listening: The wind outside, telling me that it's going to be a very stormy day
Watching: I am impatiently awaiting the next episode of White Lotus. Parker Posey is true magic this season.
