Answer to Monday's Riddle: A Way To Choose...
Excellent guessing, Riddlers! We'll be showing off some of Lizzy's book reviews and sprinkling in a little fun and games this week. See you all around the book block. ; ) ~ F
Stories take you on a ride, but what will help you finally decide? It all depends on the scene in the show. Where in the universe do you want to go? Here's a guide that will give you a clue, so when faced with this challenge, you'll know what to do. Cover in hand is a sneak peek at most; some are showy, others burnt toast. Should it be catchy and spark your interest, the signs point to, 'yes, further your inquest'. The magical words which open the gate, either carry you on or they come too late. If the character's hand reaches into your heart, resistance is futile until you do part. On Wednesdays we like to give you a snippet, Lizzy's review is the ticket.
