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

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'.
