Front-Ranger:
I put Affinity in my movie renting queue! Wouldn't want to cause any hardships!!
On Tiipping the Velvet, things are getting more interesting now that Kitty and Nan are in London!

Yay Lee! I don't really see any harm in watching the DVD before reading the book. It would be neat if the 3 of us could watch Affinity at about the same time. I recommend renting Tipping the Velvet if you get a chance too. It's a really well-done BBC mini-series (3 episodes all on one DVD) with very good actresses/ actors.

:) Things certainly get increasingly exciting from that point on. :)

There are a lot of adventures to come, Lee. ;)

Has it arrived yet?
I am getting slightly antsy at the moment...my order has taken almost 3 weeks! :-\
I know... patience...patience.

Sorry to be a buttinsky, but please let me know how you like Affinity. I am a big fan of Sarah Waters, I loved the book and film of Tipping The Velvet and have Fingersmith on my list of books to read, having seen the miniseries on Logo. Thanks!

Heya Juan!!! It's so cool to see you here Bud! Join our group! I definitely recommend reading Fingersmith. It's such a clever, clever bit of story writing. There's a good DVD of Fingersmith too... but in that particular case I think the book is better (although I thoroughly enjoyed the DVD too).
I think I like the book and the DVD of Tipping the Velvet about equally.
Have you read Affinity yet? I certainly recommend it as a book too.
All three, Tipping the Velvet, Fingersmith and Affinity are very different as far as storyline goes, but in tone there's a certain similarity amongst all of them. It will certainly be fun to finally have DVD versions of all 3 stories. I'm excited.
But, Milli, I'm still waiting on my DVD too. I'll be sure to post here as soon as I get it.
This is reminding me of waiting for my BBM DVD to arrive from Amazon when it was first released. I remember that I pre-ordered it, and then I ended up waiting about a week or so after the release date to actually receive my copy. It was very frustrating at the time.
