We traditionally begin every Dewey's readathon with a scheduled hour-long sprint. (We will have additional hour-long sprints at hours 4, 8, 12, 16, 20 and 24. )
So, gather your beverage, snacks, and book, and let's kick off the 2024 October Readathon with a good solid hour of reading.
On your MARKS ...... Get SET ..... GO!!!!!

I am listening to it as an audiobook and it is a cosy mystery and a bit funny.
