December's Monthly Read is The Host by Stephenie Meyer.
Blurb:
Melanie Stryder refuses to fade away. Earth has been invaded by a species that takes over the minds of human hosts while leaving their bodies intact, and most of humanity has succumbed.

Wanderer, the invading "soul" who has been given Melanie's body, knew about the challenges of living inside a human: the overwhelming emotions, the too vivid memories. But there was one difficulty Wanderer didn't expect: the former tenant of her body refusing to relinquish possession of her mind.

Melanie fills Wanderer's thoughts with visions of the man Melanie loves - Jared, a human who still lives in hiding. Unable to separate herself from her body's desires, Wanderer yearns for a man she's never met. As outside forces make Wanderer and Melanie unwilling allies, they set off to search for the man they both love.

Featuring what may be the first love triangle involving only two bodies, The Host is a riveting and unforgettable novel that will bring a vast new readership to one of the most compelling writers of our time.

Are you excited for The Host movie? Is The Host better than Twilight? Will you read the sequels?

I'm really excited for the movie! It's going to be really good and I really should get on to reading it!


Jennavier (jennavie) I liked Twilight but I loved The Host. I loved how much Wanderer and Melanie influence each other.

Patrick (patrick_castro) I heard the beginning was really confusing an odd! I'm really unsure when to read it!


Jennavier (jennavie) I don't remember that.... Given, I did read this book in an all nighter, so lots of things are fuzzy!
