Linda-Marie Barrett / Executive Director:
Reading: Finished The Irresistible Urge to Fall for Your Enemy by Brigitte Knightley. It was a lot of fun, with clever, beautiful language, and I look forward to the sequel. Just started The Satisfaction Cafe by Kathy Wang, a SIBA Read This Next selection for July, and looking forward to where it takes me!
Listening: Now is the season of endless lawn care, so it’s hard to avoid the sound of loud machinery, but when that’s not happening, it’s mostly quiet except for birdsong or afternoon rainstorms.
Watching: Young Sheldon continues to entertain. I’m not sure if it’s alarming or comforting to discover the many ways I relate to Sheldon’s POV, but I sure do love his quirky, loving family and the sensitive way the show’s writers take on hard subjects.

Nicki Leone / Communications:
Reading: Almost nothing. NVNR keeps me too busy.
Listening: Also almost nothing except sporadic podcast episodes.
Watching: Right now, a deer that has found her way into the abandoned garden, eating her way through the pole bean plants and amaranth that I won't be harvesting as I will be gone by the time they are ready to be picked.

SP Rankin / Website Administrator:
Reading: I practice ethical non-monogamy, with books at any rate, and I have a number of them in various stages of being read. We're all very happy with the arrangement. I'm currently in the middle of Andrew Sean Greer's Less Is Lost, the sequel to his 2018 Pulitzer-winning novel Less. It follows his constantly bemused and entirely lovable protagonist, Arthur Less, on a quest through the middle of America and is hilarious, tender, light but deep, and brilliantly written.
Listening: Two songs of the week, both fresh as paint! "Amazing" by Yola and "A Little More Too" by Nathaniel Rateliff and the Night Sweats.
Watching: Still watching Midsomer Murders while I eat lunch or make the bed. I discovered a six-degrees-of separation connection to one of the guest stars, which was exciting, and as usual I alert Nicki if Harriet Walter is ever in the cast!

Andrea Richardson / Sales:
Reading: I am about to get into my panel prep for NVNR! I am lucky enough to be moderating the horror panel - Kalynn Bayron, Ryan La Sala, D Elizabeth, and Adam Godfrey - so that's what I'll be reading for a while.
Listening: I finished The Long Walk by Stephen King most recently. It's my favorite of his stories and there's about to be a movie so I wanted to refresh my memory of it.
Watching: A fun little show called Upper Middle Bogan on Netflix. I love an Aussie accent.
