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!
“There was clearly a conceptual problem with this holiday, which essentially imposed a month of calorie, caffeine, and nicotine withdrawal on a half-hearted nation ambivalent about its Islamic faith. Without any hint of festivity or communal spirit of fasting to brighten the days ahead, the holiday loomed like one long rehab program.”
from Lipstick Jihad, by Azadeh Moaveni, p. 103
I am trying get hold of it, without much success!

I’ve been curious about this book and will look forward to your review.
Sounds like a month of rehab to me….great teaser! I remember hearing about this book so I can’t wait for your review.
Great teaser. I’ve been curious about the the book.
Are you liking this? It doesn’t sound that great.
Char – Well, I was, but it’s actually a little more intelligent than I was anticipating. That sounds weird, but I was expecting an easier read. I’m halfway through…I put it down Tuesday night and haven’t picked it up since. But then, I haven’t picked anything else up, either.
