I read the first Kushiel book because it was recommended to me specifically for kink/spirituality intersection.

As some writing teacher I had once said, the only way to write a good book is to have the courage to write a bad one first. Bea, you have good taste. I loved Tipping the Velvet.

But after seeing it mentioned on <a href="http://io9.com/384951/a-crash-course-in-alternate-history-novels" rel="nofollow">io9's alternate history guide</a> I was intrigued. But it seemed a bit trashy, so I decided against it. Also, just joined FetLife. Seems like a kinky, cooler version of Facebook. We shall see how much time I spend on it (probably not a lot).

Do you mind being asked for your opinion of books or just being recommended books you weren’t totally taken with, over and over and over again?
