What We're Reading/Listening to/Watching

Posted By Nicki Leone, Wednesday, September 10, 2025

Linda-Marie BarrettLinda-Marie Barrett / Executive Director:
Reading:
Royal Liars by Lindsey Duga. I’m near the end and still lost, having not read the previous book, but sticking with it. Looking forward to reading Susan Coll’s The Literati next.
Listening:
I am really (as usual) enjoying quiet. The background noise of the occasional car driving slowly past, the chatter of children, or someone calling out, “Watch out for that huge mama bear and her cubs!” add interesting distraction.
Watching:
Now that new episodes of The Great British Baking Show are on every Friday, I can count on once-a-week thrilling television viewing. I’m also heading almost nightly to Nova Scotia to catch the very soapy but heart-filled Sullivan’s Crossing.

Candice HuberCandice Huber / Membership:
Reading: I started Craft Activism by Joan Tapper for research on how I can use my crafting for good. The book is full of great ideas!
Listening: I'm almost finished Supper for Six, and the audiobook is fantastic! If you like mysteries, this one is great.
Watching: Started the second season 2 of Wednesday and absolutely loving it. Wednesday is such a mood.

Nicki LeoneNicki Leone / Communications:
Reading: A Green Equinox by Elizabeth Mavor for book club. And the new issue of Slightly Foxed Quarterly arrived this week, always a pleasure. It is a journal devoted to people writing about the books than made an impact on them. If I ever wrote anything for them, it would take up a whole issue, because books make an impact on me all the time.
Listening: Arundhati Roy's Mother Mary Comes to Me, plus I'm also catching up on my Between the Covers podcast, an island of sanity in an insane world.
Watching: SP and I did The Parallax View (1974) for movie night. It was highly unsettling -- one of those movies that makes you doubt everything and everyone. I was also weirded out that I found all the silent psychopath guys more interesting characters than Warren Beatty.

SP RankinSP Rankin / Website Administrator:
Reading: I am starting Elizabeth Mavor's A Green Equinox for book club tonight, and very much looking forward to it.
Listening:
This week's song is "What I Like About You" by the Romantics, in honor of whatever song made nineteen-year-old you dance 'til your head fell off.
Watching:
So many British murder shows. The grittier, the gloomier, the colder the rain, and the warmer the beer, the happier I am.

Andri RichardsonAndrea Richardson / Sales:
Reading: The Body by Bethany C. Morrow. It's definitely scratching my current horror itch.
Listening: Murder on Sex Island by Jo Firestone. Funny, mystery, and reality TV - all of my favorite things
Watching: The temperatures dropping on a really lovely autumnal day in Richmond!
