First, a goodbye to Michael Jackson. Whatever he became, he'd been a lovely and enormously talented child. His songs are a part of our lives.
On Monday, Vampire Wire is part of a blog tour for Stephanie Meyer's The Host. I'll be having a contest for THREE COPIES of The Host, so be sure to stop by.Publishers Weekly reviewed this book, saying: "In this tantalizing SF thriller, planet-hopping parasites are inserting their silvery centipede selves into human brains, curing cancer, eliminating war and turning Earth into paradise. But some people want Earth back, warts and all, especially Melanie Stryder, who refuses to surrender, even after being captured in Chicago and becoming a host for a "soul" called Wanderer. The straightforward narrative... shines with romantic intrigue."
Library Journal's review says, "It lives up to the hype, blending science fiction and romance in a way that has never worked so well. In this page-turner, Meyer explores what happens to relationships when two beings inhabit the same physical body."
GRATUITOUS VIDEOS OF THE DAY
These will go out to Michael Jackson.

I've heard good things about The Host...which is odd, since I have a copy in my room and it's been sitting there for months now. I'll have to read it one of these days.
Marta, I know you'll never read Twilight, but would you read will you be reading the Host?

I read The Host when it came out in hardcover and quite enjoyed it. Stephenie Meyer isn't just a "Twilight" writer.
I loved THE HOST. I thought it was good sci-fi and very thought-provoking and touching. It takes a little while to get into it (IMO), but it's a good book.
Hi, Popin, I won't be reading anything for a while since I've got crazy deadlines. But I'm interested in what other people have to say about The Host.
I Heart Book Gossip, glad you got them! I'm enjoying watching the DVDs right now and will write about the series when I'm done.
Doug, did you review The Host? Please send the link! (I did a search on your blog, but couldn't find it.)
Karen, thanks for sharing your take on the book!
