'The Alechmist'

The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho

My review

rating: 5 of 5 stars
This book has to become a classic, must-read, for generations to come. It has a timeless appeal and is written so that you are trying to make the connection to what or who each character really represents. The forward by the author, as well as the biography at the end of the newer editions, adds a depth to the book that helps to make it one of the most inspirational books I have read in a long time.

The Host: A Novel by Stephenie Meyer

My review

rating: 5 of 5 stars
This book seemed more appropriate for my 10-year-old to read than the Twilight books! The simplicity of the title can lead you to think that either the book is about aliens, or someone that hosts dinner parties, but this book is no dinner party! I agree with Christine Taylor, who gave me the book, that I could not put it down once I started and read it in one weekend.
