Readathon Hour One

Oh man, who gets up at 5am on a Saturday on their day off? Well today that answer is ME. I have decided to get the read-a-thon started with something light because my eyes are barely open to be honest with you, but I didn't know if an audiobook is 1. acceptable in the rules or 2 would be beneficial to my sleepy state or hindrance me (aka make me fall back asleep)
So we begin! I am starting off this morning with a oldie but goodie from Roald Dahl, The Witches
From Goodreads: This Roald Dahl classic tells the scary, funny and imaginative tale of a seven-year-old boy who has a run-in with some real-life witches! "In fairy tales witches always wear silly black hats and black cloaks and they ride on broomsticks. But this is not a fairy tale. This is about REAL WITCHES. REAL WITCHES dress in ordinary clothes and look very much like ordinary women. They live in ordinary houses and they work in ordinary jobs. That is why they are so hard to catch." Witches, as our hero learns, hate children. With the help of a friend and his somewhat-magical grandmother, our hero tries to expose the witches before they dispose of him.
Paperback, 208 pages
