What We're Reading, Listening to, and Watching This Week (10/25/2026)
Linda-Marie Barrett / Executive Director:
Reading: Just finished Summer Job by Lizzy Dent, a fabulous romcom set in Scotland, and beginning O Caledonia by Elspeth Barker, a heavier, darkly humorous read also set in Scotland! Perfect for cold fall evenings.
Listening: One recent blessing is that most neighbors have switched to electric leaf blowers, which sound more like muted trumpets than the roaring horns of Rohan. It’s restful quiet most days with birdsong and falling leaves in the background.
Watching: We have completed all available episodes of our favorite series, though The Great British Baking Show offers a new episode every Friday till Thanksgiving. I am seriously tempted to renew the Britbox subscription to watch Ludwig.
Candice Huber / Membership:
Reading: Just finished Winterset Hollow by Jonathan Edward Durham. The concept is really interesting, but I wasn't a huge fan of the ending. When you're actually on the side of the slashers in a horror novel, it doesn't make for as much fun.
Listening: Only have about 30 minutes left in Twig's Traveling Tomes by Gryffin Murphy. What a fun, cozy, cute Fall book!
Watching: The new season of The Traitors, at this point solely for Alan Cumming's outfits.
Nicki Leone / Communications:
Reading: The Fantasy and Necessity of Solidarity by Sarah Schulman. Exhibit G. by Fady Joudah.
Listening: Plainwater by Anne Carson. Nine Tailors by Dorothy Sayers.
Watching: The Miss Marple series with Joan Hickson.
SP Rankin / Website Administrator:
Reading: The King of a Rainy Country by Brigid Brophy.Listening: New music from Lake Street Dive.Watching: Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma interspersed with Hallmark Christmas movies. Which is campier and scarier? I'm still deciding.
Andrea Richardson / Sales:
Reading: I tore through twelve books on vacation last week, but the best one was All Together Now by Julie Buxbaum. I laughed, I cried, I loved it.
Listening: I am missing the sound of tree frogs singing me to sleep!
Watching: Catching up on allllll the TV I missed. Anyone want to chat about the terrible people on this season of Love is Blind?
