Katie’s parents never told her “no” when she asked for a book. That was the beginning of most of her problems. She has MLIS at the University of Illinois and works full-time as Distribution & Reference Manager for Illinois. She has love deeply rooted in everything that is in the way, twisted, and horrifying, and has great joy in sneaking up on her colleagues. When she’s not at work, she’s in the house watching Cubs along with her cat and her cardigan collection. Other hobbies include scrapbooking, introducing more readers to the Tana French church, and convincing her husband that he could actually fit more books on her shelves. Twitter: @kt_librarylady
