Who else is up for joining us on this read-a-thon?

Yeehaw Lee!! I'm so excited that you got the book and I can't wait to hear what you think! 8)
Front-Ranger:
I'm reading about the main character's early life, it is fascinating and it reminds me very much of Memoirs of a Geisha.
Brown Eyes:
There's definitely a very wistful feel to the way Tipping the Velvet deals with Nancy's descriptions and memories of her childhood/ teenage years as an oyster girl. Some of those types of descriptions can be so powerful in Waters' writing.
Lumière:
Hey girls!
Lee ~ Welcome to the SW Fan club.
Wonderful to see you here! 8)
Like Amanda, ! can't wait to hear what you think of Tipping the Velvet. (either when you are done, or as you go... although it might be better to get to the end before we discuss). :)
Amanda ~ Thank you for convincing Lee to check out SW's work. It is great to have another person posting in here. Speaking of which ... didn't Lynne start reading TTV as well? I remember she bought the book a while back. Lynne, where are ya? ;)
