Everything written by Sarah Waters ever.

Particularly, Tipping the Velvet.

I watched the 3 part series a while back on showcase during pride week. It was rather good although rather depressing at points. i might look into the book later.

Yes, lesbian dramas are always depressing, unfortunately. However, Tipping has the advantage of having Rachel Stirling in it (pictured, on the right), and it does have a happy ending! Sarah Waters is an exceptionally good writer as well.

Fizzlesticks, is Tipping better than Fingersmith? I picked up Fingersmith and was psyched about it, but she seemed to really abuse commas in it. ): It read, like this, it seemed with commas, everywhere, unnecessarily. I couldn't get past the beginning, even though I liked the plot. .__.;;

Annie on My Mind is one of my favorite books.

Actually, I didn't like it the first time I read it, but after a while it just sticked on me. ♥

Two of my favorites are Kiss the Girls and Make Them Spy and The Girl With the Golden Bouffant by Mabel Maney. I love parody books to begin with, even if I've never read/watched the series. These two are definitely my favorites though. I'd really like to get ahold of the author's other books sometime soon.

I suggest "Early Embraces" edited by Lindsey Elder. It's True stories of first lesbian experiences, yummy.

I think Waters' writing has improved with each book - bear with her razz

She wrote Rubyfruit Jungle, right?
I think I looked her up in the library and she's also the one who writes those "The Cat Who..." books. I found it mildly amusing. Haven't read anything by her, though; they didn't have any of her more lesbian-themed books.

Currently, I'm reading "Name All the Animals" by Alison Smith, and it's BEAUTIFUL. The writing is extremely fluid. It's a memoir. The author lost her brother as a kid and eventually finds out she's into girls through a new student who enrolls in her Catholic school.

I've yet to finish it, but I've quite enjoyed it thus far.

edit: it's "name," not "count." I am a doofus.

I read Rubyfruit Jungle last night/this morning - it's a really good book. Although, the German promised me it was a bit racy! (She lent it to me.) I couldn't put it down, though. Great style of writing.

I don't remeber the name of the Author, but the book "Keeping you a secret" Has been my favorite for a long while now.

Sarah Waters's Fingersmith is her best yet ..

In regards to Tipping the Velvet ... the book is better , much more imaginative


For easy reading and a bit of fun I would recommend * Parculiar Passion * by Ruby Vise

It's an excellent read with lots of pirates and swash buckling lol
