Books I'd Reread: Tipping the Velvet

Tipping the Velvet was Sarah Water's first novel and it has been described along the lines of a Victorian, lesbian romp. If you haven't read it, do -- it's a great read and then you can treat yourself to the BBC adaptation of it with Rachael Stirling, Keeley Hawes and Jodhi May.
















Here's the opening scene -- it's definitely worth owning:

It's been a while since I've read any lesbian fiction, especially any lesbian genre fiction. I thought I'd check a few out and put in my order to Amazon. The first one is by KG MacGregor called Without Warning.

It's about two women -- one gay and one straight (at least for now) -- who meet in a mall after a pretty significant earthquake. I enjoyed it -- it moved well and the characters were well drawn. MacGregor has a bunch of other books, too. Check out her website if your interested.
