My first reader con­test and trust me, it will not be my last. I am excited to be able to pro­vide my fel­low read­ers with the oppor­tu­nity to win a copy of Stephe­nie Meyer’s lat­est, best­selling novel, The Host, which released on May 6, 2008 by Lit­tle, Brown. The pub­lisher has pro­vided me with three copies (3) of the com­pleted novel to give away to read­ers. The HOST is #1 on the Pub­lish­ers Weekly’s Bestseller’s List* as well as #1 on the New York Times Best­seller List*. The syn­op­sis of the story is below and an excerpt is pro­vided for you here.

Melanie Stry­der refuses to fade away. The earth has been invaded by a species that take over the minds of their human hosts while leav­ing their bod­ies intact, and most of human­ity has succumbed.

Wan­derer, the invad­ing “soul” who has been given Melanie’s body, knew about the chal­lenges of liv­ing inside a human: the over­whelm­ing emo­tions, the too vivid mem­o­ries. But there was one dif­fi­culty Wan­derer didn’t expect: the for­mer ten­ant of her body refus­ing to relin­quish pos­ses­sion of her mind.

Melanie fills Wanderer’s thoughts with visions of the man Melanie loves-Jared, a human who still lives in hid­ing. Unable to sep­a­rate her­self from her body’s desires, Wan­derer yearns for a man she’s never met. As out­side forces make Wan­derer and Melanie unwill­ing allies, they set off to search for the man they both love.

Fea­tur­ing what may be the first love tri­an­gle involv­ing only two bod­ies, THE HOST is a riv­et­ing and unfor­get­table novel that will bring a vast new read­er­ship to one of the most com­pelling writ­ers of our time
