Director:
Reading: The Keeper of Stories by Sally Page. I just finished her Six Little Words and loved it, so am now starting her debut novel, which I might like even better. She’s very clever with characters and dialogue, and often quite funny.
Listening: The “Relaxing Guitar” station on Pandora is currently my favorite thing. It’s the perfect background music for dealing with all things Quickbooks (my focus these days).
Watching: Young Sheldon’s final season, The Great British Baking Show, and Beyond Paradise. It’s also the time of year to watch the Lord of the Rings extended versions.
Candice Huber / Membership:
Reading: I finished my crafting activism books! I'm excited to dig into Black-Owned: The Revolutionary Life of the Black Bookstore by Char Adams.
Listening: I'm still in spooky season mode, so I started Zomromcom by Olivia Dade. I'm hoping it's as entertaining as it sounds!
Watching: Finally started the last season of Squid Game. I also added 28 movies to my holiday watch list, and that doesn't include holiday specials and TV! Nov. 2 - Jan. 2 is my official holiday watch season :)
Nicki Leone / Communications:
Reading: Driftwood: The Life of Harlan Hubbard, by Jessica K. Whitehead.
Listening: She Speaks! by Harriet Walter. Again. Don't judge me.
Watching: Halloween night SP and I watched Carnival of Souls, which inspired every zombie movie that has been filmed since, and was even better than I remembered (5 stars for creepiness). I spent a little time mourning the fact that the Saltair Pavilion where it was filmed was long since burned down.
SP Rankin / Website Administrator:
Reading: Holiday gift making is in full swing, which is seriously cutting into my reading--at least for anything other than articles and patterns.
Listening: I finished Little Bosses Everywhere: How the Pyramid Scheme Shaped America and found it far more disturbing than any dystopian fiction I've ever read. The album of the week is Snocaps by Snocaps (Kate Crutchfield/Waxahatchee and her sister Alison).
Watching: Nicki chose the gorgeously haunting and unsettling Carnival of Souls (1962) to watch Halloween night, and I've thought about it every day since. Dreamlike (like an actual dream, not a Hollywood dream), melancholy, creepy, and mysterious, it's gone straight onto the list of my favorite films.
Andrea Richardson / Sales:
Reading: Now that I've got my Best of the Year List pretty much down, I'm reading whatever I feel like - even backlist! Currently I'm reading Leigh Stein's If You're Seeing This, It's Meant For You. A friend gave it to me and I'm loving it.
Listening: Amy Pohler hosted Kate McKinnon on her Good Hang podcast recently and it's a magical episode.
Watching: I am waiting for election results to come in tonight!
