Linda-Marie Barrett / Executive Director:
Reading: The Irresistible Urge to Fall for Your Enemy by Brigitte Knightley. A fun read, very light but imbued with a love of language, and moving in obvious directions. It’s not a matter of if, just when and how.
Listening: Enjoying the mostly quiet days and afternoon thunderstorms, and the sounds of frogs and crickets at night.
Watching: Young Sheldon, Madame Blanc, and my computer screen as I work on wrapping up our preparations for NVNR.

Nicki Leone / Communications:
Reading: Right now my "I'm so tired I can barely think" reading after a long day of packing/sorting/organizing is Memories from Moscow to the Black Sea by Teffi, which I had to rescue from the books-to-donate box, where it had accidentally ended up. It's a lovely litte book that, most importantly, is easy to read in small, fuzzy doses.
Listening: There's a new Slightly Foxed podcast episode out, all about Muriel Spark. It made me want to revisit and reread The Girls of Slender Means, which we did in book club last year. Alas, it is in a box somewhere and I can't get to it. So I have the audiobook on queue.
Watching: SP very generously came over last weekend to help with the packing and she helped me add The Criterion channel to the Roku. We ended up watching Crossfire (1947) with three Roberts: Robert Young, Robert Mitchum and Robert Ryan (who was especially scary). It's about antisemitism, but it was based on the novel The Brick Foxhole by Richard Brooks, which was about homophobia in the military in WWII. The subtext was left in the film. The director, Edward Dmytryk, was one of the "Hollywood Ten" that got on the wrong side of the House Committee on Un-American Activities and went to jail.

SP Rankin / Website Administrator:
Reading: Nicki lent me Elaine Castillo's collection of essays How To Read Now which seems like what I should read now. I also have a couple of books on the way, but I'm interested in where the Castillo book will lead.
Listening: The great and good Tami Neilson released Neon Cowgirl, her latest album, last week and there's nothing more to add.
Watching: Busy times means if the TV is even on, there's a good chance it's to have Midsomer Murders in the background. I'm on the episode in which [Famous British Actor Guest Star] dies mysteriously from [highly unlikely and extremely macabre cause] in [deceptively peaceful village where everyone has a Very Dark Secret] and CI Barnaby exclaims, "Say that again!" when his sergeant makes an offhand comment exactly fifteen minutes before the end of the episode which cracks the case.

Andrea Richardson / Sales:
Reading: I am still reeling from Last Chance Live by Helena Haywoode Henry. It's heartbreaking and so, so good.
Listening: I've spent ten hours of store inventory time this week listening to Amy Pohler's Good Hang podcast. It's such a serotonin boost!
Watching: Love Island, The Ultimatum Queer Love, and now Bachelor in Paradise is about to start. I love summer TV.
