Oh, hey. Hi there. It's me again. Just dropping another itsy, bitsy readathon right here.
This isn't my first 24 in 48 Readathon. I don't generally bother too much with the challenges or prizes because it interferes with the reading.
The community is great, though. I enjoy tracking my reading time and challenging myself to squeeze in a few more pages, even if I don't post much. I'll be reading along with the official Eastern Time Zone schedule (midnight on Friday, January 26 - midnight on Sunday, January 28).
Here's my little gray cat giving our tiny TBR her approval.
I also just started using Libby, an app that makes it super easy to connect to your local library and download ebooks and audiobooks. I may dive into one of my holds if I get the urge.
I didn't think I'd enjoy reading books on my phone, but it's actually quite convenient. Check out the free app here.
Ready, set,

Hour 6 Challenge: Oldest book on your shelves
The oldest book I have is Lad, A Dog by Albert Payson Terhune. Published in 1919. It's one of many books that have been passed down in my family. It's been in my collection since I was about ten years old.
Hour 12 Challenge: Best first line from your stack
"Eva Nine was dying." --from The Search for WondLa by Tony DiTerrlizzi
