The Blonde Diaries

So here is the premise behind Teaser Tuesday:

Good Morning! As I mentioned yesterday, I’m trying to get back on track with my reading. I love Teaser Tuesday because I get great book ideas from visiting other blogs.  I hope that I am able to provide some good book ideas to others as well.

I am reading the Sookie Stackhouse series this week so I’m going to share a quote from there.

“What do you hear?” I asked, trying to be as quiet as Bill was being, an effort doomed in the attempt.

“Someone’s coming,” he said.

So here is the premise behind Teaser Tuesday:

Good morning! It is a beautiful day here in Houston. Unfortunately, I will be inside at work all day long so I won’t get to enjoy it. That’s alright because I will just wrap myself up in a book when I get home and let my imagination carry me off to a fun, far away place. Right now I am reading Ransom My Heart which is technically by Meg Cabot but she attributes the story to Princess Mia from the Princess Diaries. It is really good so far.

I finished Accidentally Engaged by Mary Carter yesterday night and loved it. I wanted to share my teaser from that book today.

“This couldn’t get any worse, Rachel,” I said, standing up. “Do not,” I said in my most menacing voice, “marry Jack Heron. If you do, you will regret it the rest of your life. What little will be left of it,” I said, holding up the Death card and turning it to face her.

So here is the premise behind Teaser Tuesday:

Welcome to November. How is the weather in your area? It is nice and sunny all week in Houston – perfect weather to go sit outside on my balcony with a good book and get in a few warm rays without sweating uncomfortably. LOL.

This week I am reading Full House by Janet Evanovich. This is my first Janet Evanovich novel and I am enjoying it. I just wish the chapters were a little shorter. I finished The Gatecrasher over the weekend and hope to have a review of it up later today or tomorrow as well as Cause Celeb.

“Christie looked shocked. ‘You’re getting married, and you didn’t tell Grandma? Boy, the bananas are gonna hit the fan when she finds out about this. Grandma likes to know everything,’ Christie explained to the group.”
~p154

This sounds pretty interesting as I haven’t met Christie yet in this book so it should be fun to find out who she is, who grandma is, and who is trying to sneak getting married past everyone!

So here is the premise behind Teaser Tuesday:

Happy last Tuesday of October! Can you believe it is November already? The new year will be here before we know it. I still have quite a ways to go on my challenges for 2009 but I’m slowly ticking the books off the list. I moved on to The Gatecrasher by Madeleine Wickham (aka Sophie Kinsella) last night to give me a book to look forward to when I get home late this week and next week due to quarter filings. I’ve made it through one chapter and it looks like this one is going to be a hoot. Without giving too much away it seems as if this book has the same premise as that Jennifer Love Hewitt movie from the 1990s -> Heartbreakers.  I’ll try to review it properly if work can die down a little. I know I owe a few people comments for stopping by last week so I’ll try and make it by today and leave a couple to make up for my tardiness.

‘Sssh.’ She put a finger against his lips and he fell silent. He lay against her, listening to her heartbeat, and felt like a child, naked and vulnerable and accepting.
‘I will give you anything,’ he whispered at last. ‘Anything you want.’

So here is the premise behind Teaser Tuesday:

Good morning all! How are you handling this weather change? Me – not so well. One minute we are cold and rainy and the next we have this nasty mugginess all over. I am very much looking forward to spring.

So this week I am finishing up The Other Woman by Jane Green. I’m hoping to have my review up later today or tomorrow.

I suppose that if anyone had warned me, warned of the exhaustion, the loneliness, the loss of identity, I would either have thought they were lying or assumed that it may happen to other women, to other couples, but wouldn’t happen to us.

But of course it does happen to me, does happen to us.
