You might know Stephanie Meyer from that obscure book she wrote called Twilight? Have you heard of it? I bet you have.
She ALSO wrote a book called The Host which will be coming to the big screen in March of 2013 which is also well loved and some would consider infinitely better than her sparkly vampires series. You can check it out for yourself since Mammoth NYC has been so generous to allow us to offer FIVE of our readers the chance to win a copy! It would make a great summer read!
Official Synopsis: THE HOST is an enchanting and fateful story about the survival of love and the human spirit in a time of war. Our world is invaded by an unseen enemy. Humans become hosts for these invaders, their minds taken over, while their bodies remain intact. Most of humanity has succumbed.
Additional Info:

ReplyDeletePerfect timing, I'd almost forgotten this book even existed!
ReplyDeleteAs for my summer reads, I just finished Franny and Zooey by J.D. Salinger, The Lover's Dictionary by David Levithan, and I'm working on The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo right now.

The Host is very good (more than Twilight series!!!).
ReplyDeleteI just finished reading "Thirteen reasons why" by Jay Asher, it's pretty shocking but really good.
Looks and sounds more interesting than that 'obscure' book she wrote. Thanks for the recommendation.
ReplyDeleteI haven't read The Host yet, mostly because of Twilight. But with the movie coming out, I've been hearing a lot about it. And almost everyone says it's better than Twilight. So I'm looking forward to reading it.
ReplyDeleteA book I'd recommend for summer reading is Anna and the French Kiss by Stephanie Perkins.
