What's Hot This Week May 6, 2008
Book:
The Host by Stephenie Meyer
Best-selling author Stephenie Meyer (of the Twilight series fame) has a new book out this week. It's about the fate of humanity after being taken over by invaders. And about love. And um, okay, read it for yourself, because as usual, Meyer's plot is way too complex to parse down to a one-sentence review. Visit www.stepheniemeyer.com to find out more.
