GIVEAWAY: 3 copies of The Host by Stephenie Meyer

by

And to top this evening off I’ve got 3 copies of The Host by Stephenie Meyer up for grabs courtesy of Valerie at Hachette Book Group. I read The Host probably about a year and a half ago. I enjoyed it although the Twilight books are still my favorite. Now here’s your chance to win your own copy. Here’s a bit about the book…

Now available in the trade paperback edition: New Bonus Chapter and Reading Group Guide, including Stephenie Meyer’s Annotated Playlist for 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.

About the Author

Stephenie Meyer graduated from Brigham Young University with a degree in English literature. She is the author of the bestselling Twilight Saga. She lives in Arizona with her husband and three young sons. This is her first novel for adults.

I think The Host would make a terrific book club pick. There is a lot to talk about in The Host when you look at a humans being taken over by some species that take over complete control of your body and mind. The Wanderer who takes over Melanie, while being one of these species, is different. She is thinking. Like I said I think people could find a lot to discuss here. Hachette Book Group has a Reading Group Guide which I will link you to as soon as it becomes available.

  11. I'd be really interested in reading it. No offense to Meyer, but The Host just sounds like it offers more integrity and depth than her Twilight series. It sounds like it actually talks about something important.
