What We're Reading/Listening to/Watching

Posted By Nicki Leone, Thursday, April 17, 2025

Linda-Marie BarrettLinda-Marie Barrett / Executive Director:
Reading: Gothictown by Emily Carpenter. Set in a small Georgia town, this novel about NY transplants slowly discovering their new community is run by sociopaths is REALLY scary! But I can’t stop reading. Looking forward to a palate-cleansing romance after this one.
Listening:
To neighbors chatting as they walk their dogs past my house, and to the birds who share their days with each other through song.
Watching:
Ludwig, a brilliant new series on Britbox, and the final episodes of Later Daters.

Candice HuberCandice Huber / Membership:
Reading: And still, unfortunately, nothing changes. It's been a weird week for me!
Listening
: I have just discovered that Paul Anka covered a lot of popular music, and I'm really enjoying his versions of things like Black Hole Sun and Smells Like Teen Spirit.
Watching
: Binged through The Pitt AND The Residence almost too quickly. They were both so, so good!

Nicki LeoneNicki Leone / Communications:
ReadingNoopiming by Leanne Betasamosake Simpson. Wildlife by Amanda Leduc. Hellions by Julia Elliott. My book club is dithering about its next selection, so I am picking up things sort of haphazard-fashion while I wait for them to make up their minds.
Listening
: It was a podcast week, because Slightly Foxed has a new episode. What I wouldn't give for them to return to a monthly schedule. Their quarterly production timetable is killing me
Watching:
Ah, The Pitt. It's been my favorite binge-watch since I can't remember when. The first time I stumbled onto MI-5, maybe. I also managed to finish Sapphire & Steel, which remained Gorgeously Creepy (capital G, capital C) right through to the cliffhanger ending. I'd love to see a remake, but really who could ever step into Joanna Lumley's lovely blue shoes?

SP RankinSP Rankin / Website Administrator:
Reading: Ann Cleeves' The Raging Storm (the third in her Matthew Venn series) is my book of the moment, but lately I've found myself practically evangelizing Yael van de Wouden's The Safekeep and Sylvia Townsend Warner's Summer Will Show which is making me want to reread them both.
Listening:
So much Nina Simone. Especially her 1969 album, To Love Somebody.
Watching:
Would I like to say I've been watching a three-hour experimental French film shot from the POV of Michel Foucault's turtleneck sweater? Well, of course. Should I admit that I am actually mostly through the second season of Xena: Warrior Princess? No! Should I split the difference and say I am rejoicing at the new season of Hacks? Bingo. I would absolutely watch that turtleneck movie though

Andri RichardsonAndrea Richardson / Sales:
Reading: I am very into an anthology of horror by Daphne du Maurier right now, After Midnight. It's got several of her classic stories that I haven't read before that are amazing.
Listening
: I watched some old Behind the Music episodes lately so my playlist has been very 80s heavy.
Watching
: The Last of Us has started back up! So far I love it, though I do not love the direction Ellie's character is going. I'm delighted with the addition of Catherine O'Hara to the cast.
