What I'm Reading Wednesdays

I'm very excited to be linking up with Lindsay today for her first ever What I'm Reading Wednesdays!


I have been a reading machine recently and am always looking for new books to get my hands on. 

The most recent book I read was The Host by Stephenie Meyer {author of the Twilight series}

I'm not embarrassed to admit that while it took me a while to get on the Twilight bandwagon, I loved the books so much that I'm pretty much the driver of the bandwagon now.  So when I heard Ms. Meyer had another book out I had to go get it.

According to Amazon, here is a little description of the book: Melanie Stryder refuses to fade away. The earth has been invaded by a species that take over the minds of human hosts while leaving their bodies intact. Wanderer, the invading "soul" who has been given Melanie's body, didn't expect to find its former tenant refusing to relinquish possession of her mind.

As Melanie fills Wanderer's thoughts with visions of Jared, a human who still lives in hiding, Wanderer begins to yearn for a man she's never met. Reluctant allies, Wanderer and Melanie set off to search for the man they both love.

Featuring one of the most unusual love triangles in literature, THE HOST is a riveting and unforgettable novel about the persistence of love and the essence of what it means to be human.

Now I am not a science fiction reader by any means, but I loved this book.  Loved it.  I seriously could not put it down.  It's super long too which is awesome when you're really into the story.  It did take me a few chapters to get into it, but once I did I was simply hooked.  It was one of those books I literally laughed and sobbed out loud right along with the characters.  And for all those who shy away from Twilight, don't worry, this isn't one of the young adult fiction books you're used to with Ms. Meyer.  It's definitely an adult book. 

And the best part?  They're making a movie!!  You know where I'll be come the end of March!

So if you want a really wonderful book that will capture all of your attention, go check out The Host.
