1.) 2017- Hex-Rated: A Brimstone Files Novel by Jason Ridler ★★☆☆☆

My review: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

I'm going to start on Hillary: Tail of the Dog

I'm in that pre-challenge lull... do I start a new book now and may be a day or two late starting my challenge books? Or wait until 1 June and start a challenge book?! So many tough choices :) :)

I see what you mean about your number 2. Lynxie. I always think great big eyes on a cover are creepy:)"

It's not the worst I've seen, but I still don't like it. :)

I'm in - let's try for 3 to start with
