Linda-Marie Barrett / Executive Director
:
Reading: The Satisfaction Café by Kathy Wang. What a bittersweet feeling this novel evokes, about coming to terms with a life that isn’t what you’d hoped for, but one you learn to accept and even treasure for what it is.
Listening: To restful music on my Calm station, to birdsong, and the sounds of lawn maintenance equipment. And sometimes, to the early hour booms and crashes when bears raid the neighbor’s garbage cans.
Watching: Young Sheldon, Madame Blanc, and my husband laying down cards in a competitive game of double solitaire.
Candice Huber / Membership:
Reading: Not much since we're so busy working on NVNR!
Listening: Still on the second half of Onyx Storm.
Watching: Big Brother three times per week! Also Resident Alien with Alan Tudyk, who is one of my favorite comedic actors. The show isn't only funny, it also has tons of heart. Highly recommend!
Nicki Leone / Communications:
Reading: My "reading" this week belongs under "listening," because I'm picking out the books I want to listen to during a very long car trip...
Listening: ...and had settled on the audio versions of Olivia Manning's The Balkan Trilogy books. But then, I read what booksellers had to say about The Hounding by Xenobe Purvis, and moved that to the top of the queue.
Watching: The road!
SP Rankin / Website Administrator:
Reading: After NVNR, so many books have been added to my "can't wait to get my hands on" list, but right now I'm reading It Came From the Clost: Queer Reflections on Horror, edited by Joe Vallese, which came home with me from Charis Books & More during Bookstore Bus Tour #3.
Listening: After a busy week in Atlanta, the quiet hum of my house and rain on the roof.
Watching: One of my top five comfort movies, Dazed and Confused (1993): the most acutely accurate portrayal of high school in the 1970s in all of movies. I even had the same haircut and the same Adidas t-shirt as Mitch Kramer, though my role model is (obviously) Parker Posey as Darla.
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. I'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 fin little show called Upper Middle Bogan on Netflix. I love an Aussie accent.
