24. A book that is either frothy or gothy

For 'gothy' I have House of Shades and for 'frothy' The Girl from Lace Island. The latter has a romance and I thought lace was suitably frothy.
For "gothy" I hope to finally get around to The Woman in White.For "frothy" I plan to read A Witch's Guide to Magical Innkeeping".
I was thinking of doing The Dire Days of Willowweep Manor, which I think might be both frothy and gothy. I had it on my list a while back but never got to it.
I'm going to read Gobbelino London & a Melee of Mages by Kim M. Watt. The main character, Gobbelino, is a snarky black cat, so he's quite gothy. In this book he's up against, amongst other things, a sewer monster, which sounds quite frothy to me, though probably not in the way this prompt was intended :)
