I liked the Twilight novels, and saw this one (The Host, Stephenie Meyer) at Barnes and Noble. Generally I don't buy books, but I got the MOST AMAZING deal at Albertsons on Tuesday ($1/ box of cereal and more, thanks Jodi for calling me) and figured since I saved money on groceries, I could splurge. I started the book that night and finished it yesterday afternoon. It was so compelling I couldn't put it down. I stayed up till 3:30 in the morning and picked it back up at 7:00 AM when forced out of bed by the kids. I am truly amazed that someone could spin a story like this out of their imagination. What a great novelist and storyteller!
