The typical thing to read this month would be something in the romance category...however I tend to throw those in to cleanse my palate between other reads. My other choice would have been something to honor black history, but again that's frequent in my rotation. Then a friend suggested that I read The Host.
I loved the Twilight series, but honestly? If I got involved in another epic love triangle I'd probably barf. I think I'm all threesomed out. However the whole alien twist? Totally outside my giant box. I'm not really into sci-fi reads, paranormal, oh gods yes, but aliens? Not my bag, baby. I don't mind E.T. movies, LOVED Aliens, but reading about them just seems...out there. Like wearing strappy sandals with a leotard and a sweater. Separately the items might make sense but together Joan Rivers would dedicate an entire hour to the disaster that is that outfit.
So with these two personal pariahs together and the nod to Cupid, I give you my February pick. The Host by Stephanie Meyer.
