Lights, Camera ... Teen Read Week!

It reads like a perfectly crafted screenplay:

Two YA authors, newly published, adrift.

Teen Read Week, a national movement, designed to inspire a love of reading in young people.

The authors meet, visit schools, libraries, and a book store.  They meet a ton of amazing kids (and some pretty incredible grown-ups, too).

The kids ask intelligent, sharp, thoughtful questions.

The authors have way more fun than two grown women should have.

Teen Read Week is wildly successful by all accounts.

In the end, two families have come together to share Mongolian BBQ and YouTube videos.  The sun sets.  Fade to black.

Thank you, Leigh and Maurice, for making the trek up north for TRW.  We loved every minute of it.

Have you hugged a book today?

We had a FANTASTIC time! The schools, the libraries, your family! All of it was so much fun - you're right - it was way more fun than two women should be allowed to have. Let's do it again!
