The Host: A Novel
I think it’s quite obvious by now, from my recent posts, that I LOVED this book. At first, I found it slow to start, and wondered if I’d ever care about where the story was going. However, a quarter of the way through I found it hard to put down, and stayed up easily past midnight to continue reading. And then, there were the tears. The free-flowing, hardest I’ve ever cried while reading, honest to goodness, tears (that I unsuccessfully tried to hide from my husband, who raised an eyebrow at my rare condition). The puffy red eyes, streaky face, and sniffling were much too obvious, and could not be blamed on allergies 😉

Reading Challenge for 2010!
I’m happy to say I will be participating in J.Kaye’s 100+ Reading Challenge for the upcoming year. It will be nice to whittle away at my TBR pile (or piles, as they have quickly become), and get to see what the other participants are reading too! This will be my official count down page, as I log each book I read. Of course, I intend on reviewing every one (or at least the majority of them).
May your New Year be lavished with happiness, health, and plenty of reading time!
Wish me luck 🙂
Stupid Book Is Making Me Cry!
Damn Stephenie Meyer and her “The Host“!!! I can’t believe I’m crying again over a book (and one of hers, again, no less!)
Oh the shame…my husband was wondering why I was taking so long in the bathroom, and really, how long can I actually hide in there? I had to come out, and face the real world all puffy face and sniffling, where no amount of cold water could wash away the evidence.
What, do you think I’m actually giving away a spoiler? Fear not. The only spoiler I can guarantee is that you will cry. I don’t even know how it ends, since I can’t even reach the end yet, ’cause I’m sobbing too hard to be able to read anything!
A most Appropriate Wine ;)
Look what I have! How nice is it to cozy up with a good book and a glass of wine? It’s even better when it’s with a bottle of wine called Vampire, and one called Dracula! I think I’m in good company.
Okay, I’m off to finish “The Host”. I’m hoping that the romantic tension that has been escalating, will finally come through 😉
