What We're Reading, Listening to, and Watching This Week (5/10/2026)
Linda-Marie Barrett / Executive Director:
Reading: Continuing to read Falling for Peachtree Bluff by Kristy Woodson Harvey, a beach read set in a town reminiscent of "Sweet Magnolias." About to start Wintering: The Power of Rest and Retreat in Difficult Times by Katherine May. Wrong season, but the right reason to read this now to explore the ways we care for ourselves during challenging passages in our lives.
Listening: To the wind move through the trees and the sounds of nearby sprinklers watering lawns and gardens. So restful!
Watching: Canal Boat Diaries on Acorn, possibly the most relaxing program ever, where the “drama” involves slipping off your boat and scraping your hand on the brick wall of a lock or realizing your water filter isn’t working. Just began watching The Other Bennet Sister on Britbox. I love this re-imagining of Pride and Prejudice from Mary’s point of view.
Candice Huber / Membership:
Reading: Again, nothing new to report! I've been so busy and bad at making time to read.
Listening: The wind through the trees when I sit outside to craft.
Watching: Just finished Rooster and really liked it!
Nicki Leone / Communications:
Reading: We Are Green and Trembling by Gabriela Cabezon Camara, White Moss by Anna Nerkagi, and Written on the Water by Eileen Chang.
Listening: Forbidden Notebook by Alba de Céspedes
Watching: Lee (2024), the Ellen Kuras film about the photographer Lee Miller
SP Rankin / Website Administrator:
Reading: I am on vacation and will be near the Island Bookstore in Duck, so next week I should have more to talk about.
Listening: To ocean waves.
Watching: Seabirds and wild horses.
Andrea Richardson / Sales:
Reading: I just finished Diana Peterfreund's second installment in the Ellen Poe series, and it's so good! They're great YA mysteries with a Poe ghost helping solve things.
Listening: to my cats chase each other around for no reason. It's loud.
Watching: SNL UK has had a really fun first season! I'm looking forward to more from those folks.
