Linda-Marie Barrett / Executive Director
Reading: Again, Rachel by Marian Keyes. One of my favorite authors brings back her beloved Walsh family through the POV of Rachel, a recovering addict who counsels others in rehab. Beautiful and heartbreaking, with welcome comic relief whenever Luke and his tight pants enter the scene or are wistfully recalled by pretty much anyone.
Listening: To a gentle chorus of crickets and treefrogs.
Watching: Having completed all available episodes of The Mallorca Files, we're now watching The Good Ship Murder, which is so bad it's good, though I'm not sure how long we'll stick with it.

Candice Huber / Membership:
Reading: I haven't been able to start a book with everything going on, but hopefully soon!
Listening: Somewhere Beyond the Sea by TJ Klune in preparation for an author event coming up. Daniel Henning, the audiobook reader, is amazing!
Watching: Haven't had time to watch much either, but I'm keeping up with Big Brother! I did watch a movie called IF, which I thought was going to be a funny comedy, and instead it was one of the most emotionally hard-hitting movies I've watched in a while. And it's about imaginary friends! Highly recommend if you get a chance to watch it.

Nicki Leone / Communications:
Reading & Listening: My driving home from NVNR audiobook was Maggie Nelson's Like Love: Essays and Conversations. Nelson has been a guiding star for me since I read The Argonauts. I always have the audio and the print copy of her books to hand. And her light has stayed bright through every book I've read, including this one.
Watching: Old episodes of M*A*S*H -- which I have a kind of love/hate relationship with.

SP Rankin / Website Administrator:
Reading: The Argonauts, by Maggie Nelson. Fierce and brilliant and proof for me that the truest self-help always comes from poets and artists.
Listening: Blitzen Trapper's 100s of 1000s, Millions of Billions (2024).
Watching: I'm about halfway through The Decameron on Netflix. You'll laugh, you'll cry (maybe), you'll be really, really glad you don't live in 1348.

Andrea Richardson / Sales:
Reading: I guess I'm about to start The Book of Elsewhere by China Mieville and Keanu Reeves, since Keanu made a stop at the store yesterday to sign books!
Listening: The weather is so nice I have the windows open to hear all of the birds outside chirping.
Watching: Love Island USA because when things are stressful, I like to watch dumb things to relax.
