Only my second Twilight sighting
When: Friday, 11/27/09, 5:30 PM
Where: MBTA Red Line, Park St. platform
Who: Female, 20s
What: New Moon by Stephenie Meyer
I had to look up the title - I just had scribbled down "the one with the flower on the cover." I have somehow remained unsnared by the Twilight series.

Starting at the beginning
When: Wednesday 5/27/09, 7:45 AM
Where: MBTA 73 bus, outbound
Who: Female, 30s
What: Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone by J.K. Rowling

Genre fiction issues
When: Monday 5/25/09, around 2:00 PM
Where: Davis Square, on the benches in front of JP Licks
Who: Female, early 30s
What: The Colour of Magic by Terry Pratchett
I've known plenty of people who liked this author, but have never actually read a book by him myself.
I wanted to start labeling books with genres where appropriate, but I don't know enough about this one to label it sci-fi or fantasy. Maybe at some point int he future.

When: Saturday, 5/2/09, 12:30 PM
Where: MBTA Red Line, going toward Ashmont, between Harvard and Park St.
