Finally finished my reread of this series! I've been listening to one each month over the past year.
This conclusion has always been bittersweet. So many questions are left unanswered, yet it's lovely seeing the growth of these siblings and their determination to face an unfair world.

The Netflix adaptation of this series only (NOT the Jim Carrey movie 🤮) I thought it did a great job with the story, characters, and tone of the books, while also adding new layers to the mysteries hinted at throughout the series.
I just finished rereading the books and now I want to watch the series again

BookmarkTavern I stopped reading the books after nine,
but I actually really enjoyed the Netflix series! Thanks for answering!

I‘m enjoying this series…even if my son has lost interest. (Whomp whomp) ⭐️⭐️⭐️

Coming in under the wire with my #doublespin for January.

TheAromaofBooks Woohoo!! 3mo

The Baudelaire siblings find themselves at the last safe place and must observe the people gathering to decide if they are villains or volunteers. But they come to realize that things are not always so black and white.
This has always been my favorite installment of the series. The Hotel Denouement is such a fun setting, with a ridiculous organization system, and many previous characters make reappearances to help or hinder the children's task.

More mysteries keep piling up as the siblings dive into uncharted waters, with new volatile allies and unseen enemies. The anticipation mounts each book closer to The End!

The Baudelaires find themselves in the Hinterlands with just Olaf's troupe of villains for company and a carnival to hide within, disguised as freaks so they aren't recognized. They are close to uncovering more secrets about VFD but are beginning to question what they must do to find the answers.

Another VFD to investigate, a library to search for answers, and a dastardly plot by Olaf 🔥

I think this book is the turning point of this series and is therefore one of my favorites. The Baudelaires are sent to be raised by an entire village that worships crows, they attempt to solve some poetry-related riddles to find the Quagmires, and when a supposed Count Olaf is captured things go from bad to worse.

Tim Curry is back for the narration of this one! I was so happy 😁
Another bleak installment of the Baudelaire's trials against Count Olaf as they are desperate to find their Quagmire friends

CatLass007 I adore Tim Currie. When I found out just yesterday that he narrates the Lemony Snickett books I knew I had to have them in my audio library. 9mo

peanutnine @CatLass007 he does such a great job! Hopefully you can get all of them with his narration, for some reason my library had 3-5 with a different narrator and I was sad 9mo
CatLass007 @peanutnine That is sad. 9mo
CatLass007 Audible just says 3-5 are narrated by Lemony Snicket. 9mo
peanutnine @CatLass007 yes that's what my library had. I guess maybe Curry didn't record those for some reason 🤔 9mo
CatLass007 I am a huge Harry Dresden fan. James Marsters has been narrating the books from the very beginning. He had a conflict when Ghost Story was released, and John Glover narrated. Fans boycotted that particular book or something. Because in an Audible exclusive, James Marsters recorded the book himself, once he became available again. 9mo
peanutnine @CatLass007 that's crazy 😧 9mo
CatLass007 I was just glad that James Marsters was back narrating the next book after Ghost Story. I had no inkling that they would have him go back and re-record. I think the John Glover version is still available. I like John Glover as an actor and a narrator, but not necessarily for the Harry Dresden series. A lot of Buffy/ Spike fans started listening to the books just because of the narrator. (edited) 9mo

The Beatrice Letters | Lemony Snicket

MayMontage Day 19: #Letters - May you find a kindred somewhere out there in the world who would capture your soul in the same way that Lemony Snicket expressed his undying love to the lovely Baticeer Extraordinaire, Beatrice – through word play, silence knots, and utterly absurd and senseless declarations of shining devotion.
