Got it in the mail today! :)
I also received another book I ordered (both from the same used bookdealer on Amazon):
Piece of my heart: A lesbian of colour anthology (by Makeda Silvera (1991) )
Uncompromising in its honesty, at times humorous, angry, confrontational, and erotic, Piece of My Heart celebrates the lives of women both out and coming out. [alibris.com/]
About the editor - Makeda Silvera -
Makeda Silvera (born 1955 in Kingston, Jamaica) is a Caribbean Canadian novelist and short story writer.
Silvera emigrated to Canada at the age of 12 with her family, and currently lives in Toronto. She published two volumes of short stories in the 1990s before releasing her first novel, "The Revenge of Maria" in 1998, followed by The Heart Does Not Bend, in 2002. An out lesbian,[1] she is the cofounder and managing editor of Sister Vision Press, and has edited a number of anthologies, including Piece of My Heart, the first North American anthology of literature by lesbians of colour.

Believe it or not - I got this book for 13 cents plus shipping. :D

Thank you very much for these recommendations. I hope to read at least two of these books in the coming year. Tipping the Velvet has me wanting more!!

That's great Sister Mod! 8)
I'll post some more of my own recommendations when I'm back home in Pittsburgh after Christmas.
LOL, on a tangential note... I did bring Lonesome Dove along on the plane for the trip out to Chicago since it was close at hand and I was inbetween books as I was heading out the door... and so far I'm liking it a lot more than I'd sort of expected. I've already read over 100 pages. And there really is a ton of material in that book already that seems relevant to BBM (especially very familiar symbols such as the moon, etc.).

How goes the Lonesome Dove read, A? How many pages have you conquered thus far? ;)
On another note...

I took this book with me on holiday and read almost half of it on my flights. I am halfway through it now.
I am enjoying it greatly - it is highly recommended. :)
Lumière:
These, I am sure, would be two good additions to any lesbian erotic fiction collection..
I will return with reviews in the near future.. ;)
