Which lover of hers was your favorite? I feel like it must be obvious who everyone’s least favorite was, but then again, maybe not.

Now let’s get right to it and discuss this super gay book: Sarah Waters‘ Tipping the Velvet.Īs per the book club guidelines I laid out in my introductory post, I’m going to bust out some questions right now for us all to talk about, but if you think they’re stupid or if they hurt your head, feel free to comment with any general comments or thoughts beating in your brain, even if it’s just “I loved this thing!,” or “Why does everyone love this book so much?

First of all, thank you, thank you, thank you, all you good people for already making the Book Club a success.
