What We're Reading/Listening to/Watching

Posted By Nicki Leone, Thursday, March 13, 2025

Linda-Marie BarrettLinda-Marie Barrett / Executive Director:
Reading
: Iris Kelly Doesn’t Date by Ashley Herring Blake, a romance centering two women who confront their insecurities while they fake date (for reasons important to both) and play lead roles in a queer retelling of Much Ado About Nothing. Sweet and poignant.
Listening
: To a variety of music stations on my Calm app, for flow, focus, and, yes, calm!
Watching
: The newest seasons of Death in Paradise and Sweet Magnolias. Occasionally adding in an episode of Later Daters, which I often regret (anxiety-provoking!)

Candice HuberCandice Huber / Membership:
Reading: GUESS WHAT? I actually finished THREE books on my vacation! I finally finished Breath of the Dragon and The Bookshop, and I read Murder by Memory by Olivia Waite, a cozy mystery in space. It's a short novella, everyone is queer, and the worldbuilding is terrific!
Listening
: To the sounds of birds and the wind through the trees, and the emerging of Spring.
Watching
: Finished The Traitors and caught up on Severance! Now it's time to start White Lotus and Yellowjackets.

Nicki LeoneNicki Leone / Communications:
Reading: Still with The Garden Against Time by Olivia Laing and Stone Yard Devotional by Charlotte Wood.
Listening
: The audiobook of One Day Everyone Will Have Always Been Against This by Omar El Akkad. Still.
Watching
: 15 minutes of news in the morning, and then 45 minutes of bird watching to recover. But I'm putting Sapphire & Steel on my watch list because a recommendation from SP is safe as houses.

SP RankinSP Rankin / Website Administrator:
Reading: I'm cracking the (virtual) cover of Karen Russell's The Antidote tonight, and hoping to get carried away.
Listening:
I'm still on my French radio journey, which led this week to the great P.P. Arnold's 1969 debut album, The First Lady of Immediate, and Dean Wareham's I Have Nothing to Say to the Mayor of LA (2021).
Watching:
Sapphire & Steel, the British sci-fi series from the late 1970s, starring Joanna Lumley (yes, Patsy from Absolutely Fabulous) and David McCallum (yes, Ilya Kuryakin from The Man from U.N.C.L.E.) as chilly interdimensional beings who take human form and are tasked with guarding the flow of time. A little Dr. Who, a little Avengers (Steed and Peel, not Iron Man), a lot of spooky and mysterious

Andri RichardsonAndrea Richardson / Sales:
Reading: Sarah's Pinborough's upcoming We Live Here Now. It's a spooky, haunted house twisty that I'm really enjoying.
Listening: The wind outside, telling me that it's going to be a very stormy day
Watching
: I am impatiently awaiting the next episode of White Lotus. Parker Posey is true magic this season.
