Welcome to Litsy!

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!

My goal for the year was 60, so I‘m pretty happy to have gone over! I‘m sure having 3 months off of work for hip surgery helped. 😂 Looking forward to reading challenges (new and old), book clubs, and buddy reads in 2023! Happy New Year, Littens!! 🎉 #readharder2022

Only 2 more books with the Baudelaires! #Scarathlon2021 #TeamSlaughter #Screamathon #BookSpinBingo #Wickedathon #Spookoween #OutstandingOctober +16 pts

Gonna finally attempt to finish this book today after a month and a half of my reading brain taking a vacation and not telling my library-borrowing brain to pause the book checkouts 😂 (there was a lot, folks)

Was the series that really got me into reading as a kid

I remembered literally none of this as I reread it. Not a surprise, it felt like filler compared to some of the other books - by this point in a 13 book series, I'd expect things to be moving forward more. Also, Daniel Handler is still a gross human.

I liked it

People aren‘t either wicked or noble. They‘re like chef‘s salads, with good things and bad things chopped and mixed together in a vinaigrette of confusion and conflict.

Suitably dark and suspenseful and weird. I was very pleased the creepy underwater environment kept my attention. I hope this means the series will finish strong.

(Quarantine book #32; read a book that starts with G)

Book 92 of the year, finished Nov 9, audio

Finally, another one I actually enjoyed.

One of my absolute fave series of all time. Not sure how the Netflix version is holding up tho. First few episodes were snooze-inducing for me and my daughter. 😭

Season 3 is here! Who else is loving this series? I really don‘t want it to end, they did such an amazing job with this adaptation.

“When you think of me, think of a food you love very much.” 😭😍🥰

You will know everything there is to know about the water cycle by the end.

So educational! 🌊 🌧 💦

One of the few days where I‘m home from work while it‘s still light out, it‘s my husband‘s turn to cook, it‘s nice out, AND my tiny apartment porch isn‘t being taken over by laundry hung out to dry. Porch reading time!

😂😂😂 oh, Lemony Snicket!

Coworkers obsessed with small talk take note!

I thought “Equal Rites” I ordered for #OokBookClub would come by now, but it hasn‘t and I don‘t want to commit to anything major until it does. A perfect opportunity to start book 11 of Unfortunate Events, right? I used to own books 1-11 until I moved cross-country, but I hung onto this one because it‘s signed! And I went YEARS not realizing I had a signed copy too...That‘s what happens sometimes when you neglect to read the books on your shelf!

I‘m testing out the audiobook this time as I‘ve struggled to stay focused on these books. Thus far I‘m not a fan of the narrator‘s voices for the kids, but it‘s going better than actually reading them still.

This girl I used to like in middle school finished this before me. I didn't like her so much after that.

Yay! I'm going to try to hit 150 books, but we'll see!

The good part is the Baudelaires are finally starting to figure things out when it comes to VFD. The bad part is this book was pretty annoying, especially the dialogues with the captain we're not exactly nice to read, and it could have been quite a bit shorter. Let's hope the next installment will be a little more action-packed!

People aren't either wicked or noble. They're like chef's salads, with good things and bad things chopped and mixed together in a vinaigrette of confusion and conflict.

Loving Boulder, CO so far!

I've kept a list of every book I've ever read since ninth grade and it's nice to see that habit never stopped //

I think Helquist's illustrations in this book are my favorite so far. He has done a fantastic job in the previous books, but I just love the theme to this one the best. #currentlyreading

Obligatory photo of my Memorial Day weekend enjoying this series (I'm almost through with it!) and my pool and the Florida sun. #memorialday 🏝☀️📚

I loved Fiona and the eccentricity of Captain Widdershins. I loved the twists and the betrayals and the reveal at the end. There is always a theme of loyalty to family and morality vs corruption, but the two intertwined in this book in such a poignant way. What lines are you willing to cross for family? When does someone become corrupt? And over and over again, the distinction that we are not corrupt OR moral, but a combination of the two.

Signed copy. #packingparty

I love Captain Winddershins already. I love when I find hidden gems in books. Especially that I'm finding this in a children's book.

Now what 😱😱😱 What happens to the orphans? What's in the sugar bowl? 🍚 Why did I stop reading this series? Oh, and now I know a whole lot more about the water cycle 😂

Klaus Baudelaire has got to be my reading companion. It is, after all, the trait he is most known for. (Photo snagged from vfdbooks.vfdsnickets on Instagram) #litsypartyofone

closer & closer to finishing my reread of this series!

Those poor Baudelaire children.

Humorous and entertaining as always. On to The Penultimate Peril!

The children's section of my beautiful local library. The duck-like things sitting on the window sill can be brought down and used as rocking seats for the children.

Today my 6 year-old said he loved this library because "it was an adventure with lots of new lands to explore." You got it, kid.

Another exciting book in the SOUE series that is filled with twists!

It's been a long and crazy first week back in classes. So instead of reading the wonderful but intense Romanov book I'm revisiting my favourite series. It's gonna be good. #weekendreads #tgif #lemonysnicket

All my questions are being answered, but more and more questions keep surfacing in this series. Almost done with the re-read! Can't wait to find out more questions to be answered.

"Having a personal philosophy is like having a pet marmoset, because it may be very attractive when you acquire it, but there may be situations when it will not come in handy at all."-THE GRIM GROTTO, p. 34; I've always loved Lemony Snicket's metaphors.
