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. She has a deep-rooted love of all things disturbing, twisted, and terrifying and takes enormous pleasure in creeping out her coworkers. When she's not at work, she's at home watching the Cubs with her cats and her cardigan collection. 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.

For your collection development news this week, I have some BookTok updates, some reading lists, and books that your patrons are probably hearing about in the news.
BookTok Updates
Special first editions of new books are seeing a surge in popularity, thanks in part to TikTok. When I was doing the fiction ordering at my last library, I definitely saw an uptick in fancy first editions through our main vendors.
Quick-reading BookTok favorites.
