Okay so I know a couple of people haven't been able to access this chapter in English and the download links are scare. So I decided to post this up. Enjoy!

I'm all alone.
It's dark. I can't remember where I am . . . or why I'm here. It's wrong that I'm alone. Where is Wanda? I can't see to look for her. I can't remember how to call for her. It's silent. I can't feel her. I can't feel our body.
Panic starts to set in as I wait for her voice. For her to say my name. To tell me where we are. To open my eyes so we can see. I need to hear her...

Stephenie Meyer graduated from Brigham Young University with a bachelor's degree in English. She lives with her husband and three young sons in Arizona.

Stephenie Meyer's latest novel is The Host, a paranormal romance which takes place after most of humanity has succumbed to an alien species that takes over people's minds, but leaves their bodies healthy...

Secret Diaries of a Kidnapped Soul, Chapter 2

-Chapter 2-

"Hey! You brought back another worm to disect!" A man called when we walked into the cave. I shuddered at the thought and Wanda hissed at him. He backed up.
"No, Brandt. God, you've been such an ass since Windy died. Do you really want Lissy to see her father doing this?" Melanie asked, smirking. Brandt growled.
His movements were quick. He ran up to her, smacking her with the back of his palm. She slapped him back, but with a faster movement. Jared quickly jumped infront of them, pinning Brandt in a headlock. I held onto Wanda's arm, worriedly. She patted my hand, telling me...

Boyd Holbrook are in final negotiations to round out the cast of Open Road Films’ “The Host,” an adaptation of “Twilight” author Stephenie Meyer’s popular sci-fi novel.

Max Irons (“Red Riding Hood”) and Ronan’s “Lovely Bones” co-star Jake Abel will play the male leads, and William Hurt is set to co-star as Melanie’s uncle, who leads the human resistance from its underground...

Twilight with Host outrage!!

posted by Bandgeek_XP

so...it seems as so that people tend to compare twilight charaters to Host charaters. To be quite honest i really really don't like this. Sure they are both from the same author but I really don't think that, that should give us a lisence to correspond every single charater. I think this because i believe that Meyer wanted to make all of her charaters speaical and different for each other in every one of her books. Sure some of the charaters are going to have origins that grow from others but some people don't like charaters just because they correspond to some charaters in twilight. and to...

I didn't get much sleep.
Maybe a couple of hours or so? I woke up, but this time, I was surrounded by people. My first instinct: Seekers! An old man was staring at me in the face, as was a small, blond female with the silver thread behind her eyes. I looked at her first, my face horror struck, my green eyes wide with fear. I couldn't help it: I screamed at the top of my lungs. Before I could finish my scream, a firm hand was pushed against my face, I kicked and hit the blond and the old man. They where not going to take me! Finally, I managed to bite the big hand, the man yelled and pulled his...

Secret Diaries of a Kidnapped Soul, Chapter 3

posted by wanderingk

-CHAPTER 3-

I took the fragile baby into my arms, being careful not to break her. She was so small, and so liveful. She looked up at me, and did something that looked like a smile. I smiled back at her, and kissed the top of her head. Brandt watched carefully, but he smiled, too. Wanda looked at him in amazment. What had I done right?
Lissy was a beautiful baby. She had soft caramel hair, and blue eyes like Brandt. Her hair, which she didnt have alot of, was done up in two tiny, baby pink ribbons on the top of her head. She had a baby pink dress on with a yellow butterfly on the chest pocket....

My Mel/Jared/Wanda rant.

posted by Avatarfreak14

Time for a rant.

A lot of people are convinced that Jared loves Wanda. We all know that Wanda loves Jared but she has an explanation for that. Anyway, I do not believe that Jared loves Wanda the way that he loves Melanie. I will provide a list of arguments against the 'Wanda/Jared evidence' in the book.

1. She asked him to lie. Near the end when Wanda's about to sacrifice herself, she asked Jared to lie to her, to tell her that he wanted her to stay. And he was VERY good at lying to her about that. So good, that people are convinced that he wasn't lying and was just pretending he was so Wanda...

Top 12 Lines from "The Host" that MUST make it into the movie

posted by KateKicksAss

So I found these on tumblr. I agree with most of them. What do you guys think? Credit to thebazingaproject on tumblr.

1. “Maybe it’s an accident, maybe it’s fate, but it appears to me that the strongest of our kind is being hosted by the strongest of theirs.” - Kathy, page 44.

2. “What am I dying for? I guess it’s because I lost. then, right? Is that why?”
“No. It doesn’t feel that way to me. I think… well, I think that maybe… you’re dying to be human. After all the planets and all the hosts youve left behind, you’ve finally found the place and the body you’d die for....

wandering human ( part seven )

posted by egg-cellent

That week, the boys went on a raid.
I wanted to go, just to feel like old times, but they told me I couldn't, that it was too dangerous. Which really pissed me off. At first, I figured it was just because it was "too dangerous", but later, I found out that it was because I wasn't trusted, yet. I couldn't blame them much, either. Even though I was one of their own, they didn't want me giving them away. They thought I was an amateur, like I had never done this before in my life.
Back at the tunnels, Sunny continued to follow me. It was annoying, it was because Kyle wasn't there. One time, I told...

'The Host' Welcomes Max Irons As Jared

posted by fatoshleo

After hearing yesterday that Jake Abel had pretty much landed the role of Ian in the upcoming cinematic adaptation of Stephenie Meyer's "The Host," we were sure it'd be another week before the other shoe dropped—namely, the hotly debated decision on who should take the other male lead in the film! But lo, the Hollywood gods are generous and kind: We now know, courtesy of an exclusive scoop from Entertainment Weekly, that "Red Riding Hood" star Max Irons has nabbed the role of Jared.

...Hey, wait a minute: didn't y'all pick Kit Harrington for this one? Looks like our psychic streak is at an...

Wanda making out with Jared and Ian to save Melanie

posted by zuly89

The scene of Wanda kissing Ian and almost immediately making out with Jared was intense and I liked it. I mean I didn’t like the part when Ian starts kissing Wanda and she didn’t feel that overwhelm and he had to go find Jared. But at the same time I liked it. People must think that that was Wanda’s fault for not responding but it wasn’t. It was Melanie who didn’t responded because the only one that could bring her back was Jared.

When Jared kissed Wanda you could see the great love that Mel and Jared had for each other. Jared knew that Mel was there. He was determinate to find her,...

Favorite spots in The Host *SPOILERS*

posted by shortynme

I LOVE The Host! In fact I just reread it making it two times that I've read the whole book. (Not to mention all the times I've looked up my favorite parts and read them again! lol)
There are many parts that I like but one of my absolute favorites is when Ian over hears that Wanda is leaving (when actually she's choosing to die). I love that he freaks out, hitting and kicking to get her away lol. (If he was that pissed of when he thought she was choosing to leave imagine how much worse it would be if he knew she was actually choosing death!)
When he falls into her lap and cries. . . *gasp* I...

Secretly Dissing Ian(sorry guys)

posted by wanderingk

In some ways its icky for me to say that I like Ian because I have a cousin named Ian so I tried not to like Ian from the Host by secretly dissing him. For example "Too clingy! To lovestruck! GET A LIFE!" Sorry people who like Ian. After a while I started liking Ian and so it was all cool and I didnt diss him much anymore. I still like Jared more in some ways but in others Ian from The Host is my kind of man. But even though he is like perfect he still doesnt make it into my fishnet. My fishnet is only wide enough for Jasper, Seth, Emmett and Jared. Maybe Ian from The Host will find his way through but until then I am unaware.

Go Ian and Jared people!!! I hate picking more then one so picking both is so like me! :-)
WOOOT!

Memories Hurt

I opened my eyes and then closed them again quickly as the bright lights blinded me.

Blooming In The Sunset.

Yes, that was my name. I'll shorten it to Bloom. And... I was from the Flowers. Maybe I could stick to my host's name. Lily. Such a pretty name. It applies to my former name too. Lily. It felt good on my tongue. It was... familiar. From the three life terms I have spent with the Dolphins, I have learned how to understand my hosts. It makes me feel more pity for them than what would be considered normal, but right then, it didn't matter. I could tell that my host liked making...

Just Another Soul, Part 11

posted by wanderingk

The first few months with Lissy were hell.
Brandt went on a raid and left me with the baby, thanks honey.
Wanda stops by, along with Melanie and Violetta. Violetta is my new best friend, ever since I had the baby we started hanging out more, and we are now BFFs. She is now Elisabeth's auntie/nanny.
The boys love Elisabeth the most. I would never have expected to see the day when Kyle came, held little Lissy and kissed the top of her head, which actually made her smile!

One day, Violetta stopped by with a smile.
"Hey Violetta, whats up?" I asked curiouisly. She held a little package wrapped...

I fit in just fine.
After the first three weeks, I found in extremely awkward. I wanted to do everything on my own, I was so used to doing things on my own that I wasn't used to having help. I loved the help though. I didn't have to worry about water or my hygienic needs. We had soap, even though it burned like hell, it was still considered soap. My favorite job was working in the kitchen and in the garden.
The men there, they are all like my brothers. I've never really had any real love interest, I grew up with three brothers. That was the only way I was able to survive, to think like the...
