They're still all really good, but she wrote TtV to show all the different kinds of lesbian relationships available at that time period, so there's...there's just a lot. Damn I love that book.Reading Rambohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12614467198216577755noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6275165298547340568.post-4338049442869862732011-11-07T16:27:43.485+00:002011-11-07T16:27:43.485+00:00So I wrote a whole comment and then blogger was li...So I wrote a whole comment and then blogger was like "what? you can't post that here" and deleted it but I swear there was nothing offensive in there (not that blogger normally cares) so I'm going to assume it's just not a Donoghue fan. Anyway, here's the gist of what I wrote:<br />So far I've only read Room and I want to check out Kissing the Witch and now I'll need to add this onto the list. That was lame. Actually I said something after this, but now I can't remember what. I'm sure it was brilliant though.Redhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16456600806188531803noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6275165298547340568.post-73859171600526478652011-11-07T15:23:53.264+00:002011-11-07T15:23:53.264+00:00I heart Emma.

Although I've only previously read Room, but that was clearly awesome too (READ IT!)<br /><br />I've literally just started Tipping the Velvet, and so far there's been a lot of talk of oysters, which is clearly a euphemism, yes? But anyway, it's my first Sarah Waters, and I am excited :)Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17371636785566309578noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6275165298547340568.post-19429956838628364912011-11-07T14:28:04.150+00:002011-11-07T14:28:04.150+00:00Oh, Emma Donoghue.

I've done Landing, Slammerkin, and Kissing the Witch (liked them the most in reverse order from what I listed). She basically seems to write about whatever she feels like writing about, which I admire. Woooooo Emma.Reading Rambohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12614467198216577755noreply@blogger.com
