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: Nothing new to report!
Listening: Been into reggae covers of 90s rock and pop punk music lately. Green Day's "Brain Stew" makes a particularly great reggae song.
Watching: Binged Dan Levy's new show Big Mistakes on Netflix, which is absurd and hilarious.
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 sadly behind in reading right now, and my TBR shelf is about to give up on me. Hang in there, TBR shelf!
Listening: I am grateful for whatever the playlist delivers unto me at any given moment. At this particular moment, it is "Days Like This" by Van Morrison.
Watching: Cloudy, rainy skies, which are welcome after a too-dry last few weeks.
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.
