We always begin every readathon with an hour long reading sprint. So, grab your first book (or pull up your first audiobook if this is too early an hour to put your eyes to work just yet), and let's get this readathon started. On your marks ... Get set ... Go!

I am starting with an audiobook, a tradition I've kept for many years of Dewey's readathons. This time I am listening to The Mummy Case, by Elizabeth Peters, book 3 of a series about an upper middle class lady and her husband, both Egyptian archaeology enthusiasts in the Victorian era. I started it last night and it's pretty good so far.

I love it too. I've read them all up to this one. It took my library a moment to get this one in stock, but I checked it out as soon as I could.
