Linda-Marie Barrett / Executive Director:
Reading: How to Fake a Southern Gentleman by Mayra Cuevas and Marie Marquardt. A romcom based in Atlanta and set against a backdrop of racism, classism, and misogyny. Must finish ASAP and begin Autumn by Ali Smith for my book club discussion next week.
Listening: To lively bird chatter and the end-of-season clicking and droning of insects outside my office window.
Watching: Fall colors are brightening up the landscape in Western North Carolina. On SP’s suggestion I’m enjoying The Marlow Murder Club, which offers the usual British cozy features: beautiful setting, multiple murders in a village where everyone knows everyone, and tea offered to folks in distress. Every Friday I’m watching the newest episode of the Great British Baking Show because it’s the best TV ever.

Nicki Leone / Communications:
Reading: The Life of Violet: Three Early Stories by Virginia Woolf. Various books about identifying mushrooms.
Listening: The audiobook version of Penelope's Bones: A New History of Homer's World Through the Women Written Out of It by Emily Hauser.
Watching: Well there was the Yankees' Wild Card games. I didn't even know what that meant until mom and dad took it upon themselves to educate me. But a lot of my "watching" lately, or maybe "looking" would be a better word, has been while I am walking Lucy in the woods. Yesterday we found a big patch of "chicken in the woods" -- which is an edible fungi that tastes like, well, take a guess. Not that we were brave enough to test it ourselves. Lucy, who will eat almost anything, was NOT INTERESTED.

SP Rankin / Website Administrator:
Reading: Not reading yet since it doesn't come out until next week, but I am looking forward to Mirage City, the next book in Lev AC Rosen's queer noir Evander Mills series set in 1950s San Francisco and Los Angeles.
Listening: I saved up the latest episodes of some culty/MLM podcasts for a recent road trip which made the miles just fly by.
Watching: The Crow Girl, a very dark and twisty British adaptation of a Swedish thriller/crime series of novels. Think The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo meets Killing Eve meets every single British procedural with a frumpily dressed workaholic woman detective with a complicated personal life, AKA the perfect show!

Andrea Richardson / Sales:
Reading: All the scary books I can get my hands on! Currently I'm into Widow's Point by a father/son team we're hosting next week.
Listening & Watching: I'm combining these this week because we binged The English Teacher this weekend and it's got a bangin' soundtrack of 80's and 90's gems.
