Guess who’s got The Host in her possession? Yes, that’s right. Me. It arrived a lot sooner than I thought it would. Normally, it takes approximately two weeks for Amazon’s items to reach me, and The Host was released on May 6th.
It’s a huge chunk of paper. It’s gigantic! I was really surprised to see that it was bigger than than my Twilight books. I even compared the letter/font size of The Host with Eclipse. It’s the same.
The Host is a solid 600 pages book with page measurements 24cm×16cm. I en’t kidding you. This is going to be a yummy book for sure, I can tell. You’re wondering why? Then let me tell you;
1. It’s Stephenie Meyer’s book
2. The bigger, the better!
3. I already read the first chapter, and it was very promising.
I’m going to devour it with passion as soon as I’m finished with The Amber Spyglass, the third book in His Dark Materials triology (The Golden Compass). I’t won’t be long, I’m nearly done with half of it. I’m currently residing in Lyra’s world, or should I say, the many worlds that Lyra and Will travel in and out of. I am so fascinated by the books, they really are good! Of course, no-one can beat Stephenie Meyer, but Philip Pullman did manage to hurl me into the world of Dust and Dæmons and make me wish my own soul were walking along beside me in the form of a Dæmon.
A Dæmon is your soul in an animal shape outside your body. He will be the opposite of your sex (in my case; a he), and your dearest companion throughout your whole life. He is just as intelligent as any human, because he is your soul after all, and his shape and behaviour will reflect your own personality. A person with a snake Dæmon would for instance be cunny and sly, while one with a dog Dæmon would be obedient and disciplined. And yes, they can talk.
I wonder what kind of animal form my Dæmon would have settled as.
A few weeks ago, I read about Stephenie Meyer being chosen as one of 100 most influential people in the world in The Times. To think that she in such a short time managed to climb this high, after only three books. I did pay a visit to Rolf and Maisen today after spending nearly the whole day at Trinh’s place (mostly sleeping), and was surprised by two things:
One, Rolf, who had been a bit skeptical to Stephenie Meyer’s works because he’s not too fond of fantasy, had discovered her in his The Times magazine and was bursting to show it to me.
Two, Maisen, who had just returned home from a trip to London and The Globe, had gotten me a beautiful bookmark featturing Romeo and Juliet in the balcony scene, because she knew how fond I was of the play.
I’ve scanned in the article about Stephenie Meyer for those who would like to take a look :D
Listening to: The Golden Compass soundtrack (surprisingly dissappointing)
Reading: The Amber Spyglass by Philip Pullman (Br. fantasy) – His Dark Materials book 3

Hahaha. I seriously thought you meant The Host and was utterly confused as to why the hell anyone would get that stuff in bookform! :P
His Dark Materials was brilliant, yeah. Lyra and Will are brilliant characters, the only child-characters I’ve ever liked (ever, really). Kind of tragic ending though :/
Haha oh no, I would never buy such a thing(and even be thrilled about it)! I can’t even watch horror movies, I’m too much of a wussy.
Tragic ending?! Man, don’t give me spoilers! D:
I have no idea what that book is about? Maybe I should pick it up sometimes 8)
I also have to read the Golden Compass trilogy. I was supposed to a couple of months ago after watching the movie (ofcourse not the book made from the move version, but the real stuff ofcourse), but never really got to that part XD
Yeah i love lyra! She is so daring! I love her courage aswell, but you can actuallyu find out what your dæmon would be on the movie website. Mine would be a snowleopard, which i am pretty excited about. how great would that be? To have someone who knows your inner secrets and desires. Someone who is with you all the time and who is a part of you………ahhhh fantasy…….
I am REALLY looking forward to get The host aswell! YEY! anything written by stephenie meyer is going right into my bookshelf! XP
But i was wondering if i could borrow your Host book, beacuse i don’t get mine until June and if I come up in English on my eksamen i can pick a book i wish to present. ANd so i was wondering if i could borrow yours once you were finished with it.
So um……..GOOD READING!!!! And may you continue on your journey of His dark materials XD
PS: Thanks for the star :3
Kiyu, it’s not horror in any other sense of the word than ‘horr’ followed by ‘ible’. Here we thought it’d be so awesome because some dumbass critics fawned over it like yokels from the deepest cesspits of the US. Nuh-uh. Worth checking out simply because it’s so… so… ‘ible.
Sowwy ’bout de spoilerz!
Anna: You can go to Stephenie Meyer’s website and take a look at it :] I haven’t started reading it yet(except for that first chapter I read long ago), but it seems very promising! And I’m convinced that all works of Stephenie is worth reading!
Well, you en’t the book person anyways. It’s only natural that you haven’t started reading them yet. Reading defies all logic in your nature :D (Since you apparently HATE reading xD)
Lutten: Yes, I know. Mine was a raccoon with the name Leonidas. But I don’t trust a simple flash page to find my true soul and companion matched with my personality traits. Seriously, what about a raccoon represents “Modest, a leader, outgoing sociable and assertive”?
Of course you can borrow it! How do you know you en’t gonna get it until June? Did Amazon tell you?
Morghus: HAHA! Uhm. Is it.. that Korean movie? Because if it is, then I HAVE watched it. I agree with you, it really was a bad movie.
Yes argh! amazon told me to! Damn them and their promises! But it must be hectic for them, I think there are probably alot of host orders right now, so i must be patient and wait for my book XD
And yes i don’t really trust the site, but it’s the closet thing to finding out right now, i wish i could go see an orakal, maybe she could tell me ;P
Just think, that even though we can’t see them they are there nevertheless…….

enjoy! I know i am XP ;3
Oh but we can think, can we not? Your closest friend would be able to tell what your dæmon would have looked like. Because she or he knows you well enough to interpret your personality traits into an animal. Of course, she or he would have to know quite a bit about a lot of animals.
But what I think, without considering what I want it to look like, is that my dæmon would be a cat. Because of my independence and clashing looks and personality. Remember how I look so innocent and fragile, but I really am the opposite? A cat have a cute appearance, but it has sharp claws :3
EDIT// I LOVE picture 301!
