Okay I am officially author struck!!! Some people may go speechless over movie stars, I do over authors. This morning I attended breakfast with a number of authors whose books have won either the Printz, or another YALSA award. The way the event works is that attendees sit at a table, and there is one open seat for the author. Said author sits down and talks with each group for 5 minutes, and then a whistle blows, they move on and another author sits down. It's somewhat like speed dating! I was lucky enough to be in the seat next to the author and got to sit next to David Levithan, Terry Trueman, Dana Reinhardt, Megan Sayres, Cecil Castellucci, Geraldine McCaughrean, Susan Beth Pfeffer, and Gary Schmidt! They were all great people, and by the way,easy to talk to.
