Thank you for checking out my picks! I work as the Adult Services Manager on the second floor of RFPL and my favorite hobbies are a) reading; and b) listening to audiobooks while taking walks. My favorite genres right now are psychological suspense, literary fiction, and political nonfiction. I also love movies and tv shows with a dark edge. However, I enjoy helping readers / watchers of ALL stripes find that next great book or show at the library! Feel free to contact me for a custom list at mkakers@rflib.org. I hope to see you in the library soon.
