Linda-Marie Barrett / Executive Director:
Reading: The Girl of His Dreams by Donna Leon, another pleasurable dive into contemporary Venice through the eyes of Commissario Guido Brunetti. Brunetti's fondness for the simple pleasures of good food, drink, and lively conversation make time spent with him a welcome escape.
Listening: Last night we heard peepers, an extraordinarily welcome sign of spring! Though they'll soon be diving back into the mud to escape next week's cold temperatures, their chorus is the sweetest sound to my ears.
Watching: All Creatures Great and Small, which epitomizes the essential goodness of community during a time of war. I also love the period details-the woolen garments, the acceptance of compromise (with some secret sharing of eggs and butter) in what's available for food and housing, and the lack of distracting phones.

Candice Huber / Membership:
Reading: The Bookshop by Evan Friss, for research. It's interesting thus far! I also downloaded an ARC of Prose to the People: A Celebration of Black Bookstores by Katie Mitchell, and so far it's wonderful.
Listening: Almost finished The Lotus Empire! Also have been on a 90s music kick lately.
Watching: Started Severance season 2, but have only watched the first episode so far. It's as weird as ever!

Nicki Leone / Communications:
Reading: Split Tooth by Tanya Tagaq, Still hand sewing with The Alabama Stitch Book. And my pursuit of sanity read is Funny Weather: Art in an Emergency by Olivia Laing
Listening: My new thing is to set my Merlin bird identification app to "record" and then listen to it tell me what all the birds are I'm not seeing.
Watching: Movie night with SP was Tampopo (1985), a "Ramen Western," I guess. It was lovely and sweet -- even the sex scene with the raw egg yolk. I'm not sure how it managed to be uplifting, hilarious, and yet sometimes quite icky, but I came away smiling and with a deep respect for the perfect bowl of ramen.

SP Rankin / Website Administrator:
Reading: Even though the hard copy of Virginia Feito's Victorian Psycho will arrive any day, I couldn't wait to start it so it is my very first ebook purchase from Bookshop.
Listening: Lilly Hiatt's excellent and loud new album, Forever.
Watching: Nicki and I watched Tampopo (1985), which on the surface is the story of two truck drivers trying to help a woman open a superior ramen restaurant framed as an affectionately chaotic parody of a western but in reality is a tale of the inextricable connection between love, death, birth, sex, and food. Ramen takes stamina!

Andrea Richardson / Sales:
Reading: The most adorable upcoming YA book from Jonathan van Ness and Julie Murphy: Let Them Stare. It's magical and adorable and so fun!
Listening: The crack of little league bats as kids get warmed up for the upcoming season across the street.
Watching: A really interesting show from Australia called You Can't Ask That. Small groups of marginalized people answer anonymously submitted questions. It covers allllll of the emotions.
