We took a break after book five again, and it felt great to get back into the series. This installment turned out to be one of our favorites yet. We begin with the Baudelaires who are now being delivered by Mr. Poe to their new guardians (the Squalors) at 667 Dark Avenue. After meeting Jerome and Esm Leggi tutto

OH HELL YEAH BABY. OH. HELL. YEAH. I love this series - which, in case you live under a rock or have been up to this point blessed enough to have a Goodreads feed untouched by my screaming, is my favorite in the world - for so many reasons. These reasons include: - the characters - the world - the languag Leggi tutto

I'm getting tired and bored of this. Nothing new happens! The same things happen again and again and again and again.... Had it not been for the author's pleasant and playful style I would have threw this out the window. URGH! Spoilers ahead! Seriously now. Halfway through I know what is going to happ Leggi tutto
