What a great fuckin list. Night Watch is on my list, too, as I recall loving something by Sarah Waters. I even have Affinity on my shelf, unread.
Oh, Tipping the Velvet, that's it. Good to start but turned way too lesbo-y for me in the middle. I just couldn't relate or care.
Life Mask is on my list, too. Slammerkin rocked.
And Blunt's new book, By the Time You Read This. Blackfly Season didn't dazzle.
Affinity was good, but not my favourite by Sarah Waters. I loved Tipping the Velvet, I didn't mind how lesbo-y it got...I think my mom picked it up once and read the back and was shocked. Then she took me aside and asked me if I was leso-curious, and that it was a-okay if I was. Hilarious and true!
Hmm, too bad about the Blunt. I picked it up for $6.99 so I can't complain too much.
