Spring into The Future D.C Stop with Tahereh Mafi, Anna Carey and Veronica Rossi

Once we arrived at the store, it got packed pretty quickly. We were lucky to get front row seats.

We wanted to be sure to get front row seats and a parking space ,so we arrived two hours early.
It’s a good thing Modern Time Coffeehouse, a charming coffee shop, is in the basement of the store. We had some hot chocolate and lemon macaroons while the booksellers set up for the event.
