Simona,
These would also fit this month's Genre Challenge for Gothic genre. How was Vathek? It's a book I've heard of but never read.
Mod
It turned out to be quite an exciting read after a slow start."
It went into Sensation Novel mode at the end, didn't it? Better than just a straight romance plot, in my opinion.
Mod
Yeah, the romance really slows the pace way down. Too bad.
Mod
1. Alice In Wonderland (Part #1) Manga - EB
2. Wuthering Heights - EB
3. A Dog Of Flanders - AB
4. Juju - AB
I'm glad that Dagny recommended the audiobooks that she did. At least I managed to read the last two in time.
Next year I'll try and do a classic audiobook every month.

The Mysteries of Paris
Not that I'll finish it this year! It likely won't actually get counted here since it will span..."
Ha, ha! It looks like we posted at the same time again. I won't count Mysteries of Paris for my Classics Challenge until next year, then. It will be an interesting read.
