Last November I signed up for the Gothic Reading Challenge. This one caught my eye when I found it on Senora G's Reading, Reading and Life site and though Gothic books aren't my favorite, there are times that they just hit the spot. It has its own dedicated site at Gothic Reading Challenge for reviews and even a list of books for those who wanted a bit of help chooses their challenge fare.
I signed up for a mid-level:
A Maniacal Frenzy - Read 10 novels with Gothic elements.
Here is my finished list (as well as a few intendeds):
1. We Have Always Lived in the Castle by Shirley Jackson (2/26/11)
2. The Woman in Black by Susan Hill (3/15/11)
3. The Phantom of the Opera by Gaston Leroux (4/11/11)
4. Northanger Abbey by Jane Austen (6/11/11)

Sorry folks, but I have been getting an incredible amount of spam. I have adjusted my settings and all messages will be moderated from now on. If that does not take care of the problem then I will have to go to the "Prove You're Not a Robot" thing--which I hate as much as you do.
If your name does not appear automatically, please tell me your name in the comment. Otherwise you will just show up as "Unknown." Thanks!
