Staff Picks:

"Mr. Darcy, Vampyre" 
by Amanda Grange
"Lizzie and Darcy are finally married, but on their wedding tour, Lizzie realizes Darcy is much more than he appears.  Written in true Austinien style with a supernatural twist.  I highly recommend this AUDIO BOOK for Jane Austin lovers as well as lovers of the supernatural"-Tiffany, Branch Manager

"Redwall"
by Brian Jacques

-"This was an amazing audiobook to listen to while traveling between work and home.  It is a story of good vs. evil and the transformation of a stumbling, young mouse into a warrior and hero.  There is even a quest for a special weapon while this battle between good and evil is taking place.  It has everything you want in a story.  I highly recommend it to all ages."-Frank, Jackson Branch
