An appreciation for literature runs in their blood, in their very DNA. So, what do librarians read when they are off-duty and not helping patrons find reading and research material or curating and managing collections? EBSCO Information Services (EBSCO) has numerous teams staffed by a wide variety of individuals and personalities working to provide access to world-class research tools. Our diverse staff also includes a group of collection development librarians who curate e-book and audiobook collections to help our customers save time while offering high-quality digital resources to end users. As a librarian-focused organization, we gathered e-book and audiobook recommendations and reviews from our very own staff members and created a collection called EBSCO Reads & Listens. It includes 60+ popular e-book and audiobook selections that appeal to a wide variety of readers. Here are two recommendations from the EBSCO collection development team: “*I’m Thinking of Ending Things* was like a puzzle, an uncomfortable, twisty, creepy puzzle. It starts off innocent enough, newish relationship…going to meet the parents…snowstorm…farm in the middle of nowhere…it only gets weirder from there. It is a short book, and you will not want to put it down. You’ll find yourself thinking about it for days after you’ve finished it.” *— **Jeanette Pomeroy, Collection Development Specialist, EBSCO Information Services*** “*Mexican Gothic* by Silvia Moreno-Garcia is a spooky read that has everything fans of gothic horror want — a creepy old mansion in the mist, a strong female protagonist, a beguiling but threatening disgraced gentleman, a weird cult, and more. I’m excited to see the upcoming TV adaptation!" *— **Ivy Weir, Collection Development Specialist, EBSCO Information Services*** The best and easiest way to purchase titles in this collection, as well as hundreds of others, is to use [EBSCO*host*® Collection Manager](https://ecm.ebscohost.com/Books) (ECM). ECM is a convenient online collection management tool that libraries can use to manage *EBSCO eBooks*™*, Audiobooks* and *Flipste*r® digital magazines.
