I don't know if I want to read The Host . . .

**Eden**

I've been thinking about it, and I really REALLY enjoyed the chapter of The Host that Stephenie posted--which has given me very mixed feelings. Now, I don't know if I want to read the whole book.

Before you think I'm nuts, let me explain why. I was (lucky?) to discover the Twilight series just before Eclipse came out. That meant I finished Twilight and had New Moon just waiting for me. When I'd finished that, I had Eclipse to look forward to. But now I've been on the edge of my seat waiting for Breaking Dawn . . . and I can't stand it! I'm an addict with no smack available! It's like Harry Potter all over again!

I'm not sure I can take another series that is going to torment me for years! Part of me asks if it would be better to wait until all the books are out!

Of course, I don't have that kind of self control, but AAGGGGHHH!! Does Stephenie know what she's doing to me???

I think some people feel that they may be cheating on Twilight by reading The Host but I think it will be great to have something in the same style of writing that we are used to with the other books. Also, I'm not sure if The Host is just a stand alone book or will have sequels. Anyone know?

I think I read somewhere that The Host is suppose to be three books. I'd try to find it but I'm in need of a nap big time lol.

Even though the Twilight Saga isn't over yet, I still read it even though it was an incomplete series. But with being in the HP world waiting for the next book, I've learned patience and fanfic while waiting for the next book lol.

I think that reading The Host may help a lot while you wait for Breaking Dawn. I'm desperate for Breaking Dawn too. August seems so far away. And I feel a little scared too but think of it as gaining a new Edward. Imagine the possibilities. Razz

I think that Stephenie Meyer is such a talented writer and for that reason I am looking forward to The Host. I read the intro on her webpage, but I didn' t like how it skipped to chapter 4. I felt a little too lost. I think, if for no other reason, that I will enjoy it because it means BD will be out soon after!

The anticipation is half the agony... I mean fun.

I'm torn right now. I need something else to read until BD comes out, but I also don't want to get stuck in a series again. I do love her writting. I still have ALL the Harry Potter books to read the movies #3 on to watch. I know, I've not read one HP book.

I love having a series of books to read, I hope the host is a series, I know wating stinks, but having TMs to chat about what we think of SM books makes it better! Wink

I'm thrilled and excited at the thought that The Host could go the way of the Twilight series. Imagine all the fun continuing but instead of 1 series to obsess about, we will have 2 Very Happy

I agree, the more the merrier as far as series/books from SM. Smile

I feel the same way about The Host. I love SM's writing style and am so excited shes writing other things. However I really do feel like I would be cheating lol, how silly is that. Ive only recently been into reading so I have plenty of books on my list to keep me occupied til BD and The Host comes out. Parts of me really wishes that I didnt know what Twilight was so I could go pick up the entire series with out the long wait inbetween books. luckily I discovered the series when all three books were out as well. Anyways, I have no doubt I will read The Host eventually but Im not sure when. I did preorder it, but may not even open it til after Twilight the movie comes out. I dont think I could handle two obsessions at once lol.
