I f you get the opportunity to meet them in person, go!  You won't regret it.   Also, a big THANK YOU to Brittany Pearlman at Macmillan for reaching out to me, and Politics and Prose for hosting another successful YA event at the Bethesda Library.   This was tour stop #7 of 8 for the authors, and I figured they'd probably been fielding a lot of the same questions, so I tried to switch it up a bit.
