From Books on the Brain, Tuesday Teasers:
Grab your current read. Let the book fall open to a random page. Share with us two (2) sentences from that page, somewhere between lines 7 and 12. You also need to share the title of the book that you’re getting your “teaser” from … that way people can have some great book recommendations if they like the teaser you’ve given!
Twilight by Stephanie Meyer
It was a strange combination to absorb – the everyday concerns of the town doctor stuck in the middle of a discussion of his early days in the seventeenth-century London. It was also unsettling that he spoke outloud for my benefit.
Favorite Girl is a big fan of the “Twilight” series and begged asked me to give Twilight a chance. So far, I’m half way through the first book and enjoying it more than I thought I would. When I heard it was about vampires, I thought it would be just “re-tread” but it’s more about love and the fight between “good and evil” ~ I can certainly understand why teenage girls are “obsessed” with all things “Edward.”
If you’re looking for a book to escape with, I highly recommend Twilight.
Laura (11) got Twilight for Christmas and read it in 48 hours.. she loved it. I was really hesitant about getting it for her, but so many of her friends had already read it, so I relented. I picked it up after she was finished and have read the first two chapters- it’s easy reading so far and I’m definitely looking forward to picking it up later tonight. But I have been warned about the 4th book- she won’t be reading that for a few years.

Kellee, thanks for the warning. I’ll check it out before FG does.

I wasn’t thrilled about reading about Vampires, but once I started the series I couldn’t stop… you might want to read the 4th book before her…

Twilight was a fun read, I’ve never read a vampire book but it was pretty good. I’m trying to get into my book club book right now, but so far my concentration is zip, holiday burn out I suppose:)
