Why was my last post March 25 of this year, you may ask? Because I found out I was pregnant in early April and struggled with morning (all day) sickness and finding enough energy to go to work, never the less post on the blog! However, I did get some reading done over the last several months (and even some now that the baby is born – she still sleeps a lot and I am still on maternity leave;-).
One novel that I really enjoyed was The Host. As you know, I completed, and thoroughly enjoyed, the whole Twighlight series, so The Host was a logical next read. I was curious how Meyer would handle a novel targeted to adults, and in my opinion she didn’t disappoint. Without spoiling the plot, this is an interesting story about a race of sentient beings who believe they are improving worlds by “body snatching” other sentient beings. That is the moral back drop of the story, but I really enjoyed the characters as well, both alien and human. I am not sure my hubby would enjoy the book as much as I did, as there is a love story that figures as one of the central plot lines, but I suspect many of my girlfriends would.
In any case, I hear that Meyer is working on a sequel to The Host. If so, you can bet I will pick that up too!
