It was a good read, worth it! Definitely interesting. And definitely very very Mormon XD

Lots of little ways- end of days preppers, “reincarnation”, space travel, everyone having a planet they lived on that fit for them, age gaps, self sacrifice, love for motherhood, family, the perpetual happiness of the souls and the human’s unnerved response (I have lived in Utah and the constant smiles of Mormons is definitely unusual!)

I don’t think it’s meant to be on the nose, more so I assume she’s just writing from cultural ideas she’s grown up with. But it’s not bad at all. It’s interesting, and I love the description for the worms. They sound so pretty :D

Thank you again for the link!

Man, I finally got to finishing it the other day. Got a bit too teary-eyed in a few too many places. Poor Walter 😭 Most of my Mormon knowledge comes from the musical, but soul culture and Wanda's struggle to coexist were strangely familiar. I'll be thinking about this story for a long time.

Absolutely worth it. I'm glad we found it 🤌

So.....I decided to stop pretending I have good taste and downloaded a copy of Stephanie Meyer's The Host. I'm sad to say I kinda like it so far. Love it, even.

The idea of some alien worm coping with human life as she vicariously falls in love with her host's memory (a memory!) is so sweet that I can overlook the YA-schlock writing. It's a story that I would've liked to tell, especially with my parasitoid gal Jan Hayes here.

The book was apparently a flop, so maybe I can do that without anyone noticing.

Come to think of it............I was in eighth grade or so when The Host was published. At that time, I had this hangup over the whole concept of love (heh). Hated romance in all its forms. Couldn't think about love, couldn't speak of it without crying. If I had to write the word, it needed to be in a cipher so I wouldn't immediately recognize it. When my English teacher noticed, she took me aside to ask about my relationship with God:

"Ant, what's the matter? God is love. What's so wrong with you that you're shying from God?"

Something along those lines. I'm not sure that was quite it, even if my faith was pretty tenuous back then. But it's nice to look back and realize that despite myself, I have changed over the years. Maybe even for the better, ha ha!!1

Will need to find something more substantial to fill my brain holes when I'm through reading this. :'D

Do your OCs influence your fashion tastes or is it the other way around?

In a way, I did you all a favor by not sharing this 1971 Marvel blacklight greeting card until after Valentine’s Day.
