More Reading

I've been reading a lot over break (if you haven't noticed already) so I thought I'd update you on a couple of the books that I've read recently.


I heard about "The Host" by Stephenie Meyer at the suggestion of my friend Michelle. I really liked the Twilight books so I thought that I would also like this book. It's kind of a strange book, but I really liked it. It's really hard to explain what it's about and if I tried I would make it sound really stupid. Here's the description from amazon and if you like books like are more sci-fi, etc. then I think you would also like this 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. (2008)




"Bossypants" by Tina Fey was another book that I recently read. It's an autobiography of her life and told in a very humorous way. If you like Tina Fey or her sense of humor then I would really recommend this book. It's a really quick and easy read and is also very funny.
