Hour 1 Reading Sprint

[Jamie]

Hour 1 is our first scheduled reading sprint. Good morning!!!! Well, it may not be morning for you, but it is the beginning, hopefully, of a fantastic readathon. Get your first snacks and beverages ready, grab your book or queue up your first audiobook, and let's kick off the October 2023 Dewey's Readathon with a great first hour sprint.
On your marks ...... Get set ....... Go!

I read two books by Dr Suess--just some warmup reads.
Horton Hatches the Egg

McElligot's Pool

Took me close to 20 minutes as I considered the art and literary connections. I will enjoy writing the reviews.

Since i want to sprint for an hour, I will a few more pages of Zorro by Isabel Allende.

Listening to The Black God’s Drums by P Djeli Clark. An audiobook novella is a good way to get warmed up.
