Top Stories Tamfitronics Katie's parents never told her "no" when she asked for a book, which was the start of most of her problems. She has an MLIS from the University of Illinois and works full time as a Circulation & Reference Manager in Illinois.

Other hobbies include scrapbooking, introducing more readers to the Church of Tana French, and convincing her husband that she can, in fact, fit more books onto her shelves.Twitter: @kt_libraryladyView All posts by Katie McLain HornerHere’s the trailer for Nightbitch with Amy Adams.
