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)
