Good news! I’m hosting a giveaway of three copies of The Host by Stephenie Meyer courtesy of the Hachette Book Group. Here is the blurb:
On April 13, 2010, Back Bay Books will release the paperback edition of Stephenie Meyer’s worldwide bestseller The Host. The paperback edition will feature a special Reading Group Guide that includes a new, never-before-published “bonus chapter,” an interview with Stephenie Meyer, discussion topics and questions, and the author’s annotated playlist.
THE HOST debuted at #1 on The New York Times hardcover fiction bestseller list and remained there for more than a year. Meyer’s first adult novel was not only a huge commercial success with more than 2 million copies sold, it also brought a whole new audience of readers to Stephenie Meyer. Featuring one of the most unusual love triangles in literature, THE HOST, appeals to rabid Twilight Saga fans and readers of classic literary suspense alike. Movie rights to THE HOST have been optioned by Nick Wechsler and Steve and Paula Mae Schwartz, the team that produced the film of Cormac McCarthy’s The Road. Andrew Niccol of Gattaca and The Truman Show will write the script and direct. In less than five years, Stephenie Meyer has become an international literary phenomenon. Her Twilight Saga has sold 100 million copies worldwide.
Here is where I admit that I haven’t read any of the Twilight books. I’m curious to read this book, though.

I’m doing a give-away courtesy of the Hachette Group. Next month marks the debut of a new novel by Dan Simmons. You may remember Simmons as the author of
I haven’t read his last book, Drood, but it sounds very interesting. I’ll be giving some copies of Drood away as well. Drood is a thriller about Charles Dickens and his friend, Wilkie Collins. The novel creates a sequence of events to explain the inspiration for Dickens’ final, uncompleted novel, The Mystery of Edwin Drood. Dickens was involved in a train wreck in 1865. While helping to rescue other passengers on the train, Dickens encounters Drood, a menacing figure who had been traveling in a coffin. Dickens finds himself on a quest though the underworlds of London in search of this enigma.
