Linda-Marie Barrett / Executive Director:
Reading: Say You'll Remember Me by Abby Jimenez, a charming romance between two people who meet cute the night before one moves away, are unable to relocate to be near each other, so must negotiate how to be together apart. I’m rooting for them!
Listening: To heavy machinery as trucks cut down and instantly chip trees on either side of the road as part of an effort to clear power lines of tree branches post-Hurricane Helene.
Watching: Enjoying a wonderful new detective show Ludwig on Britbox. The main character, a puzzlemaster with a missing identical twin brother, is another mystery I look forward to understanding better.

Candice Huber / Membership:
Reading: Excited to be in the middle of Oathbound! Also still reading Eat the Ones You Love and The Radical Bookstore.
Listening: I've gotten used to the sounds of my humidifier and space heater, both of which have been necessary after my move to the north.
Watching: Soooo what did y'all think about the ending of Severance season 2? PLEASE email me about this, I would love to discuss the 40,000 questions I have and theories for season 3!

Nicki Leone / Communications:
Reading: I've started Wild Dark Shore by Charlotte McConaghy. Noopiming by Leanne Betasamosake Simpson. Wildlife by Amanda Leduc. I seem to be on a Canadian writers kick.
Listening: Catching up on Shakespeare Unlimited, the Folger Shakespeare Library's podcast. Next up is "Lauren Gunderson on the Women of Hamlet." But I've also got some Talking Heads albums in the music queue, after a conversation about brainy 80s bands made me feel nostalgic.
Watching: Movie night with SP was I Am Not a Witch, directed Rungano Nyoni, and oh it was a haunting, rebellious story. I dreamed of white ribbons tethered to strange spiky creatures lumbering slowly across an ashy-grey dry country.

SP Rankin / Website Administrator:
Reading: The week that won't quit just won't stop not quitting, and bedtime reading has led far too quickly to bedtime sleeping. This is no reflection on The Antidote, which is wonderful, but on my lack of fortitude.
Listening: "Superlover," a new cover by Allison Russell and Annie Lennox of Russell's beautiful song of the same name when she was with her band, Birds of Chicago. "There's no God of fire and blood. If there's a God, then God is Love."
Watching: Nicki and I watched I Am Not a Witch, from the Zambian-Welsh director Rungano Nyoni, for our latest entry in the "Sunday night adventures in watching movies at least one of us has never seen before." Filmed in Zambia, and starring the remarkable young actress Maggie Mulubwa, I Am Not a Witch is so wholly and heartbreakingly original, I'm not sure I can do it justice and I don't think I want to try.

Andrea Richardson / Sales:
Reading: A digital ARC of the upcoming Emily Henry, Great Big Beautiful Life. I'm trying to take it slow but it's hard not to devour it!
Listening: My two younger cats are play fighting today and it's making it sound like the house is about to fall down over my ears.
Watching: After the season finale of Mythic Quest, I saw a little mini spinoff called Side Quest and LOVED it. It's a fun little tie in to the main series.
