'The Host' NO SPOILERS

Won't tell anything about the plot of 'The Host.' Just that it's nothing like Stephenie's first books in the 'Twilight' series. But though very different, she still keeps your attention. You want to know what twist the plot will take next.

So even though I didn't fall in love with this book, like I did with the 'Twilight' series ~ I'd still say.... Read 'The Host' for yourself.

Another 'Twilighter'!!!

Yeaaaaaaaaaa! Just met another 'Twilighter,' via a comment she left, on my last entry. Hi to 'Ms. Hays' of Poplar Bluff Area Daily blog. I'll add her blog link to my Sidebar, if it's ok with her. :-)

~~~


I love meeting regular 'Twilight' fans. There are *zillions* of more-official 'Twilight' sites/blogs on the Net. They are great. But it's also fun to meet regular people, so to speak. Who love to chat about "our obsession." :-)

~~~

And btw, I finished 'The Host.' And the "spoiling" {click here} didn't fully "spoil" it for me. I was kind of pouty, when that "spoiling" happened. -sigh- And I didn't pick the book right back up again. And was thinking if I'd just sort of skip on, through the little I had left, to read. Because I was mad and grumpy and whiny, about "being spoiled." -silly grin-

~~~

I picked the book back up, planning on skimming ahead.
But.....

It grabbed me right back into the twists and turns of the story! Stephenie is good!!! Her writing keeps grabbing you, and making you not-skip and keeps you glued to the book. :-) I was again 'burning the midnight oil,' to really finish it.

~~~

And now, I'd so love to find places to chat about 'The Host.' Net places where no one will be "spoiled" by such chatting. Places for only people who have read the whole book. But so far, I haven't found any. If you do, please give me links to places you find. Please and thank you.

One quarter through 'The Host'

"The Host" {click here} is called "science fiction for people who don't like science fiction." :-) Well, that's me.

It grabs you. I've read 150 of the 600 pages, which is 1/4 of the book, and I am not a fast read. So you can see that it grabbed me.

It's NOTHING like the 'Twilight' series though! {click here} So if you are thinking of dipping into Stephenie's books, I'd still suggest you begin with 'Twilight."

Since I stayed up way too late last night, and could not sleep in, this morning... Which is my way, because I'm not a morning sleeper. And I read more this morning! I'll probably crash soon.--->One of the perks of being older and retired! ,-) And I have to be perky for a home Softball game later. Oldest Granddaughter is pitching yet again. :-)))
