Thank you to everyone for one of the best Battles we've ever hosted!
We started the night with Ruta Sepetys, author of Between Shades of Gray, visiting us via Skype. Ms. Sepetys shared tales of her career in the entertainment industry and of her travels to Lithuania. Her stories were fascinating, funny, and heart-breaking. We were so lucky to have her join us, especially since she'd just returned from a book tour in Lithuania.
After saying goodnight to Ms. Sepetys we started our Battle. The competition was tough! All of the teams did an amazing job and knew the answers to some of our toughest questions! After three tie-breaker questions we were able to declare our 2012 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place teams.
