About Me

This is the library of Katie and Tanner, a married couple living in Northeastern Wisconsin in a cozy townhouse with their 3 cats and nearly 2,500 books.

Tanner is a college-level ESL instructor. He loves sci-fi / fantasy and history, with a focus on 17th century Europe. With degrees in linguistics and English, he has a passion for languages (mainly Spanish, Russian, and German). Other interests include sports (particularly college football and professional WI teams), painting miniatures, and music. His time is mostly spent on Duolingo and researching and co-hosting the podcast Beyond the Breakers.

Katie has her BA in French, and is a certified high school history teacher. (Although getting the nerve to actually apply for a teaching position has yet to happen. Maybe one day.) She hopes to eventually become a freelance French translator. She loves modern classics, translated fiction, and experimental literary fiction. Other interests include movies (mostly classics / foreign films), crocheting, pilates, and baseball (huge Brewers fan). Her time is mostly spent reading, getting nearer to fluency in French, working out, and playing Stardew Valley.
