Thank you for making this list! Looks like there’s an extra book on here - TW: Flatline. Not sure what that one is.

Sure, no problem. I have no idea what that is either. Someone else must've added it to the list. I don't think there's a way for me to remove it, unfortunately. If anyone knows of one, please let me know.

It's a bracket style tournament between books released in 2017. A judge picks a winner between two books every day. Starts next week. www.tournamentofbooks.com
