The ultimate dating tool …
It’s highly fortuitous that the launch of “Book Lovers” - also known as “Fiction Flirting” - should be timed so perfectly for Valentine’s Day and February 29. Just in case you need a re-cap, Idle Tom the publisher has teamed up with a dating agency “Gorgeous Networks” after we dreamt up a brand, spanking new chat-up line. The idea is that when you see some beautiful stranger, rather than just going up and offering some cheesy old chat-up line, you instead offer them a book. My book. Just say something simple like, “Hi - I thought you might like this”.And then, if you still can’t think of anything much to say, you could get on to talking about just how brilliant, how poignant, how moving, you found The Well-Tempered Clavier. But … As ever there was a problem.A friend from the Edinburgh Coffee Morning, Joanna, said that many women are still going to find it difficult going up to a stranger and saying, “Fancy this book?” The solution is simple. If you’re a little bashful, a little twitchy perhaps about going up to a complete stranger and offering them my book … then you don’t have to. Two options spring to mind. 1. Send a waiter over with a copy of the book with a note. A glass of champagne may help (for you - Dutch Courage.) Or, 2. When the delectable stranger goes off to the bar or toilet, just plant the book on their table. Retire and wait for the reaction. Simple.Painless.Who would have thought that The Well-Tempered Clavier could become such an incredible dating tool? Give it two years and we’ll be getting scores of new-born kids named Kim and India … Fancy a shot at Fiction Flirting? Just click here and then click on Legend Press Book Lovers
