A Series of Unfortunate Events Collection: | 
pickAt least one of my 2024 goals has been achieved. ✅️
I set out to read all 13 books of A Series of Unfortunate Events. I moved to audio on book 5 and was rewarded with Tim Curry narration beginning with book 6, The Ersatz Elevator. It proved to be my favorite, with Curry's performance of Esme Squalor and her obsession with trends that are in and things that are out. Overall, the series was a pick, but I didn't love it.⬇️
Thought I posted my #SeriesLove2023 but evidently I didn't. This is an initial rough draft, as it were, and subject to change based on my reading moods, but it's a good starting point for me. Here's to knocking out some of those series on my TBR!
@Andrew65 @TheSpineView
1. Not especially, though some authors are a little predictable 😅 But I try not to over think it, I like letting the story progress naturally.
2. Series of Unfortunate Events!
3. Not really a trope, but I like books written in unconventional formats!
4. Today I am grateful for library cards and coworkers that show up on time 👀
Thanks @Eggs ❤ Your turn @Blueberry 💙 #WonderousWednesday
I watched the first season of Unfortunate Events on Netflix, I‘ve never read any of the books. Is the show better if you‘ve read the books? I didn‘t feel like I HAD to watch the next episode it was more of a I guess since I don‘t know what else to watch. I‘ve heard good things about the books. Would reading them enhance my viewing experience?
Happy birthday Presley Smith, alias Sunny Baudelaire!!!! (Netflix show)
I‘m rereading this series again! But backwards this time!
I'm seriously so slacking in this 😔 I'm not sure which day is #rainbowstack 😔

Watching the Netflix series. Neil Patrick Harris is amazing!!
Never trust anyone who has not brought a book with them
Never trust anyone who has not brought a book with them.
Lemony Snicket
pickThese books are so much fun to read. Just down right delightful. Love Lemony Snicket!
Also recently picked up a few books from the A Series of Unfortunate Events series for only $4 📚❤️
Thanks for the tag @vkois88 ! 😊💗
1. It‘s got to be Harry Potter but I also loved A Series of Unfortunate Events.
2. That‘s so hard ! Probably Born a Crime by Trevor Noah or A Little Life by Hanya Yanagihara 💗
3. Dolores Umbridge
4. Twilight maybe ?
5. @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks @AndiM @Beckykearns 😊

I found this strange edition of Lemony Snicket's novels in a secondhand bookshop in Dublin many years ago. It's the first three novels in the series.
Read it the same year and loved it. Such surreal, humourus, clever story
pickPlease tell me everyone around here feels the way I do about these books....? So strange but sooooo fun. Poor little Baudelaire children with their special traits and terrible Count Olaf with his relentless chase for their inheritance. And from the POV as the always pessimistic but wonderfully afable Lemony Snicket. Genius series!

My awesome older sister gave me the entire Series of Unfortunate Events collection for my birthday one year and I went through all of them in no time. Now I have my niece (my sister's daughter) reading them. It was definitely a great gift. #LIBERTHDAY
A little orange to brighten the day!

In A Series of Unfortunate Events, Sunny uses her sharp #teeth to assist her Beaudelaire siblings in their adventures. #Junebookbugs @RealLifeReading
Didn't take this picture, but look at this gorgeous set! It's from https://juniperbooks.com/store/ and they also have a bunch other really cool sets! Pricey, but neat.
A rain cloud certainly follows the Baudelaire children around everywhere they go. #aneeyorekindofread #aprilbookshowers
Disclaimer: I only ever read the first four or so as I'm older than the intended audience and it got pretty repetitive for me. I loved the recent Netflix adaptation! Even though it's rather anxiety inducing.

Last night's sleepover with my niece means watching this finally!! An episode before bed and one in the morning!
My #RiotGram for Day 19 is Lemony Snicket's odes to Beatrice. Darling, dearest, dead.
You can't be as smart as these kids without being more than a little geeky. #GeekLove #BookLove17
My only #DeckleEdge books for #FeistyFeb ! It's a snowy day in #nyc and I had the day off. No reading for me though, I have to plan lessons for tomorrow and next week. 😭😭😭So I am giving myself a break by checking Litsy 🙃 #TeachersOfLitsy #FavoriteSeries
A nice children's book haul for my Little Free Libraries at the local library used book sale. 35 for $8 (plus threw in a few extra $ as donation). I depend on these book sales to help keep my libraries stocked. Kids books go like crazy! Reward was a kolache and coffee. Now to get these labeled and out into the community.
pickThe release of the #Netflix series has, for some unknown reason, caused me to trudge through this awful, and depressing series which I already had the misfortune of reading in my youth. The Baudelaire children, while very clever, well-read, and sharp toothed, lead the most unfortunate lives, and it truly is a displeasure to read. A more cheerful series may be a more pleasant pick.
My 10 year old is home sick today. We are having a marathon. "It's just like I imagined when we read the books!" Well done Netflix!
I've seen the first 3 episodes now of the new Series of Unfortunate Events Netflix series and am enjoying it so far! I like this adaptation much better than the movie version. I think it captures the humor, tone, and characters of the books beautifully!
pickI absolutely adored these books as a child! I thought that Netflix did an amazing job with the adaptation - so I picked the perfect time to get the flu and be confined to my home 😂.
I love these books because they're books that love books! The emphasis on vocabulary, language, and libraries is fantastic. They're clever and witty and precocious. And so much fun 😁
Naturally I made pasta puttanesca. The kids said they'd rather have roast beef. #NetflixBinge
This is a perfect adaptation!!!
I've been waiting for this! Binge watch starts now! Thanks, Netflix!
Is anyone else watching Netflix's A Series of Unfortunate Events? I just started episode 1! 😄
Goal: Finish the series this week, before the new Netflix adaptation come out!
@AmandaBlaze The year didn't allow me to be a proper host and follow up regularly. Thank you for joining me early on!
