As I said in my recent posts here and here, Random House India has shipped me a few books that I’m going to talk about on Daily (w)rite, mouthing off my straight-up and very subjective opinions as a reader.
Part of that reading journey has led me to today’s Tuesday Teaser. (The review would be up once I finish the once-banned book, a sort of chick-lit cum contemporary women’s fiction in an Arabic setting full of hoor-paris with hourglass figures.)
Desperate in Dubai by Ameera Al Hakawati
Teaser Tuesdays is a weekly bookish meme, hosted by MizB of Should Be Reading. Anyone can play along! Just do the following:
• Grab your current read
• Open to a random page
• Share two (2) “teaser” sentences from somewhere on that page
• BE CAREFUL NOT TO INCLUDE SPOILERS! (make sure that what you share doesn’t give too much away! You don’t want to ruin the book for others!)
• Share the title & author, too, so that other TT participants can add the book to their TBR Lists if they like your teasers!
My Teasers:
“Sorry Humaid, but I’ve never given my number to a guy before.” You already have it, you nerd.
~ p.270, “Desperate in Dubai” by Ameera Al Hakawati
Please leave a comment with either the link to your own Teaser Tuesdays post, or share your ‘teasers’ in the comment itself.

Naomi @ Nomi’s Paranormal Palace
She’s a girl who has two faces — one virginal, dignified, traditional. The other is promiscuous, chafing against tradition, into drugs and booze.
Oh, I like it…Yes, that one made me smile. Thanks for visiting my blog.

My Teaser
It’s been billed as the Arab version of Desperate Housewives, but since I didn’t watch that series, I wouldn’t know. 😀
That’s a funny one.
That’s because she has given it to him when in another disguise, and he does not know it. A sort of metaphor for appearances and reality when it comes to sexual relations in the Arab world.
