Carrie's Very Best Picks
Meet Carrie: I'm native of Phoenix and fifth generation Arizonan.  My favorite part about working in a library is that I have access to so many books about so many things.  Just walking through the stacks I find something new that I want to learn or do.  I've recently tried kayaking, baking bread, container gardening, making cheese, and hiking.  When I'm feeling more like a quiet day at home, I enjoy reading novels with a supernatural flair. 
 
Meet her list: My list includes some of my favorite books related to my most recent hobbies, as well as some of my favorite zombie, vampire, or otherwise supernatural novels.
