Cinnamon Classics Book Club discussion

Hey everyone! The time has come to select our candidates for the month of October with the theme Gothic Romance! You can select any book as long as it has an English version and it is written by renowned authors whom published it in the time period of 1700s- 1960s, no one nominated it yet, and you can only choose one. In addition, add the book and you can explain why you want to read it as well. The poll will also take place next week ^-^!
