 West Sound Reads: YA authors Marissa Meyer and Lish McBride On Tuesday, March 5th, two young adult novelists -- Tacoma's best-selling Marissa Meyer and Seattle's Lish McBride -- will give a reading from their most recent books at the Poulsbo Library, 700 NE Lincoln Rd, Poulsbo, WA 98370, at 6:30 pm. This West Sound Reads event is a collaboration with the Kitsap Regional Library system and West Sound independent bookstores. Meyer's latests, Scarlet, is the sequel to her blockbuster Cinder, and the second in Meyer's Lunar Chronicle series. Both books use fairy tales -- Cinderella and Little Red Riding Hood -- as starting points for terrific reads set in a dystopian future. In Scarlet, the title character Scarlet Benoit and Wolf, a street fighter who may have information about her missing grandmother, join forces with the cyborg Cinder as they try to stay one step ahead of the vicious Lunar Queen Levana. Publisher's Weekly writes: "Returning fans of Meyer's Cinder will gladly sink their teeth into this ambitious, wholly satisfying sequel."
Lish McBride's Necromancing the Stone is a follow-up to her award winning debut novel Hold Me Closer, Necromancer. With witty dialogue and a wicked sense of humor, McBride's stories have been described as Mad Magazine meets Twilight. Kirkus Reviews writes: "A slacker wrangles zombies, werewolves, gnomes and gods in this amiable second entry in a humor-horror mashup series ... Sam's marvelously witty, self-deprecating narration carries readers along effortlessly to the very end."
This event is free and open to the public. Readers who buy copies of either books at area independent bookstores (Liberty Bay Books, Poulsbo, and Eagle Harbor Book Company, Bainbridge Island) will be seated in the reserved section.

Anna Banks grew up in a quiet little town called Niceville (yes, really), as the youngest of seven children. She lives in the Florida Panhandle with her husband and nine-year-old daughter. About Leigh Bardugo, Shadow & Bone Leigh Bardugo's incredible young adult debut Shadow & Bone has a little bit of everything teens want: romance, action, a spunky heroine, and plenty of surprise twists. It is a magical tale of a refugee girl thrust into the magical elite when she learns that she has a dormant power that may be the only thing that can destroy the Shadow Fold, a swath of darkness crawling with monsters who feast on human flesh. Leigh Bardugo was born in Jerusalem, raised in Los Angeles, and graduated from Yale University. She is fond of glamour, ghouls, and costuming, and gets to indulge all of these fancies in her other life as a makeup artist. About Jennifer Bosworth, Struck Struck is Jennifer Bosworth's electric debut about a girl who is Struck by lightning hundreds of times and then discovers that she holds the fate of the world in her hands. Jennifer Bosworth is a screenwriter who lives in Los Angeles. About Emmy Laybourne, Monument 14 A page-turning, fresh and fast-paced YA debut from comedian and actress Emmy Laybourne, in Monument 14 a group of school kids who are trapped together in a chain superstore must face life, death, love and hate, while the world as they know it ends around them. Emmy Laybourne is a screenwriter, lyricist, and actress. She has acted in movies, television, and improv groups including Chicago City Limits. She lives in Chestnut Ridge, New York, with her husband and their two children. About Lish McBride, Hold Me Closer, Necromancer A hilarious urban fantasy novel by Seattle author Lish McBride, Hold Me Closer, Necromancer was a William C. Morris Debut Award finalist and a YALSA Top Ten Best Fiction for Young Adults. The Los Angeles Times said, "There's a Mad-magazine-meets-Twilight sensibility to Hold Me Closer, Necromancer that will keep readers turning pages and laughing all the way.” The sequel, Necromancing the Stone goes on sale in September. About Marissa Meyer, Cinder Now a New York Times Bestseller, this fresh, fierce take on Cinderella is a little bit fairytale, a little bit Terminator, and totally genius! Cinder, a gifted mechanic, is a cyborg. She's a second-class citizen with a mysterious past, reviled by her stepmother and blamed for her stepsister's illness. But when her life becomes intertwined with the handsome Prince Kai's, she suddenly finds herself at the center of an intergalactic struggle, and a forbidden attraction. Caught between duty and freedom, loyalty and betrayal, she must uncover secrets about her past in order to protect her world's future. Cinder, the first book in The Lunar Chronicles series, is Marissa Meyer's debut novel. She lives in Tacoma, WA, with her husband.
