Hours 1 - 6

The Wedding People - 45 pgs

With No One as Witness - 19 pgs

The Book Censor's Library - 75 pgs

Let The Great World Spin - 20 pgs (audio)

Running total, pages: 159

I'll calculate hours at the end. I spent 30 mins. listening to "With No One as Witness", then realized it was abridged. Ugh (I don't do abridged). Luckily, I also have a print copy so I switched to that. I will be missing the next 6-hour update because I have to go out for the evening to a fundraiser/concert. Next update will be at midnight my time (end of Hour 18). As usual, the time is going way too fast!

Dewey's Readathon - 4/26/25

 Here's The Stack!

With No One as Witness - Elizabeth George (also on audio)

The Book Censor's Library - Bothayna Al-Essa

My Friends - Hisham Matar

I was a little more intentional with my "readathon/next up" reads this time, hence the random-number-generated book from the 1001 list, one banned book, one nonfiction, and the most recent Newbery winner (for the April readathon only).
