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.

7PM TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 18 Fierce Reads: Four YA Authors, One Night! Lish McBride, Ann Aguirre, Elizabeth Fama, and Marissa Meyer Four teen authors visit Changing Hands with paranormal thrills, dystopian zombies, a ghostly murder-mystery, and a fractured fairy tale with a sci-fi twist.

In Lish McBride's Necromancing the Stone, Sam LaCroix is getting accustomed to his new life as a necromancer. That is, until he begins to suspect that his rival—the evil Douglas, who was defeated in Hold Me Closer, Necromancer—might not be as dead as everyone thinks.

In Ann Aguirre's Outpost, the sequel to Enclave, Deuce finds herself topside in Salvation. When Fade, her hunter partner, seems not to want her around anymore, she signs up for patrols. But the monstrous Freaks have grown smarter, and they don't intend to let Salvation survive.

In Monstrous Beauty, Elizabeth Fama tells the tale of a mermaid's love for a human man in 1872 that leads to a series of horrific murders, and present-day Hester's encounter with a ghost that reveals her connection to the murders.

And in Marissa Meyer's New York Times bestselling Cinder, humans and androids crowd the raucous streets of New Beijing as a deadly plague ravages the population. From space, a ruthless lunar people watch, waiting to make their move. No one knows that Earth's fate hinges on one girl—Cinder, a gifted mechanic, and a cyborg.
