Linda-Marie Barrett / Executive Director:
Reading: The Reluctant Reaper by Mary Janice Davidson. A romantasy involving the Gods of Death from around the world and one cute human. What can I say other than: refreshing mind cleanse. About to start Ex-Wife by Ursula Parrott for my book club.
Listening: To the eerie hum of cicadas. Their sound is like sci-fi theremin music, and when you see the cicadas themselves, you wonder if they also came from space.
Watching: Younger, a very fun series set in a fictional NY publishing house, and Young Sheldon, involving a prodigy with no filters. Both involve intergenerational relationships and both bring laughs and sighs about life’s complexity.

Nicki Leone / Communications:
Reading: The Dove's' Nest and Other Stories by Katherine Mansfield. It's a late collection with many unfinished stories. The Theory of Water by Leann Betasamosake Simpson for sanity's sake. And for a big deep dive read I just started Susan Choi's Flashlight. We'll see how that goes.
Listening: Right now, mostly Roseanne Cash and Linda Rondstadt.
Watching: Firefly reruns, for comfort.

SP Rankin / Website Administrator:
Reading: At the risk of sounding insufferable, these days I find I want to read books that are bracing and challenging, that are funny in a fierce and fangs-bared way, that expect me to keep up with them and refuse to look behind to check up on me, that tell me to be free instead of comfortable. This week, I am reading a story a day by Katherine Mansfield, and am two thirds through the Catalan poet Eva Baltasar's trio of novellas, Permafrost, Boulder, and Mammoth.
Listening: I'm almost never not playing music, so I usually share a laundry list of things I've been listening to, working to, reading to. From now on, though, I'm just sharing my song of the week: "The One I Love Is Gone." It was written by Bill Monroe for Hazel Dickens and Alice Gerrard, one the most beautiful odd couples in all of music. If you like your music high and lonesome and shivery, this is as high, lonesome, and shivery as it gets.
Watching: For once not much but I am keeping up with Hacks, which coincidentally featured my second choice for song of the week, John Cale's "Paris 1919."

Andrea Richardson / Sales:
Reading: I can't get How Girls Are Made by Mindy McGinnis out of my head! The first 90% makes you forget that Mindy is a horror writer but BOY does the end turn horrific - in a different way than her usual scares.
Listening: I'm out of podcasts at the moment so I'm listening to The Tenant by Freida McFadden for a little brain popcorn.
Watching: The new season of Poker Face is finally out! I love this show and Natasha Lyonne is the coolest.
