Teaser Tuesday – September 29, 2009

Author: The Blonde Diaries  /  Category: Books
This entry is part 22 of 29 in the series Teaser Tuesdays

So here is the premise behind Teaser Tuesday:

  • Grab your current read.
  • Let the book fall open to a random page.
  • Share with us two (2) “teaser” 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!
  • Please avoid spoilers!
  • I’ve been a bit of a lazy reader this past week. I thought I was going to finish my Blonde book but I have about a quarter left of it. I am still enjoying it thoroughly but I have yet to figure out which blonde I am in the book. My quote this week is from the Ironic Blonde Chapter. Enjoy!

    “Which poses the great question: If a blonde in a bikini and a French maid’s apron winks at the camera to advise us that she is just imitating a blonde in a bikini and a French maid’s apron, does the guy opening a beer at the refrigerator see her as a savvy satirist of contemporary popular culture? Or does he just see a blonde in a bikini?”

      It was left as a rhetorical question from what I can tell. I am still a few chapters away from getting to this point.

      Hehe definitely a blond in a bikini. Great teaser!

    7. Malcolm R. Campbell Says:

      That’s a hilarious teaser. I don’t think the guy with the beer cares whether she’s doing satire or doing herself. Either way, she’s still a blonde in a bikini, assuming she’s not wearing a wig or doing stuff with smoke and mirrors.

      Good teaser. I’m kind of in the same boat, though. I enjoy the book I’m reading, just can’t seem to get anywhere in it.
