I just want to say that there's not an agreement to turn "the host" into a movie, is just the normal fandom desire of doing it.

Just so you know ♥

Twilight series novelist Stephenie Meyer is now the market-wise benefactor of charitable institutions for the homeless.

Her fifth published novel,The Host will be merchandised by a fledgling skating gear company called Hobo Skate Co. Hobo benefits local charities in assistance of the homeless.

Meyer's interest in working with Hobo Skate Co., according to a report that quotes one of the company's co-founders, stemmed from the charitable nature of the organization and its promise of future collaboration with these local groups (once a profit is attainable and available for share). Chances are, Meyer's marketing deal with Hobo will bring them to that point sooner rather than later.

"The Host" is about alien parasites who take over humans - more appealing to the skater crowd. Hobo shirts and decks feature images of the alien.

... Meyer is involved in the design process, and, in fact, wanted to tweak one of the designs at the last minute, delaying the debut of the "Host" merchandise until next week.

It will be available online at first and then in major retailers.

This isn't the first time Meyer has taken part in a major charity drive. Earlier this year, she joined hands with fellow authors in the Save the Book Babe event, raising thousands of dollars by donating very sentimental pieces of memorabilia.

This girl said in the comments that Matt Dallas could be a great Ian. What do you think?.

I have to agree with this.

Perhaps I haven't been paying attention, but I didn't know that Hachette Books was so accomodating to those still on the fence as to whether or not to buy Stephenie Meyer's books.

At their website, they have a clever tool for internet users, who can browse all of Meyer's works for free when deciding whether or not to pick them up.

Much like you would be able to browse a book in the bookstore before deciding to purchase it, you can take your time and check all of her works out before deciding to purchase one on-line or in bookstores.

Provided below are the portals to do so. Check them out! They're really very neat.

Of course, it's impossible to read Meyer's hundreds of pages of text through this medium, but it's a nice way for those who haven't read the series and The Host yet to get acquainted with the texts.
