Gilded Needles (Valancourt 20th Century Classics) | 
pickInteresting book. I had read that it‘s one of the best revenge stories, so I was excited to read it. And it was a great revenge story, it just took a long time to get there. 200+ pages of getting to know the characters and their lives did make the last 100 pages satisfactory, but I did have to remind myself this was written in 1980. Overall, good slow burn revenge.
pickA solid gothic horror. A little too slow paced for my taste, but it delivered on its promise, and I always love seeing a woman get revenge on the rich family that wronged her.
pickGothic goodness from the writer of Elementals

so-soThis was so-so for me. Once it got to where it was going it was hard to put it down but getting there was sometimes difficult, especially when dealing with long winded passages. Still, I loved it enough that I will be reading his other works. In the introduction it says it‘s one of his few novels that don‘t have a supernatural element to them, so I‘m interested in what his others have in store.
so-soTHE ELEMENTALS is one of my favourite books of all time and I just listened to it a couple of years ago. Same author, same narrator and I just could not get into this book or the characters. Not terrible, but not great.
Started reading this one a few days ago and I absolutely love it so far. Thank you again @JacintaMCarter ! I wanted it for so long! #CurrentlyReading
