The sixth in A Series of Unfortunate Events was my favorite of the series and of June. I love quirky villains. The ones so damn weird, they really should be incompetent but somehow prove to get in the way of our protagonists anyway. Tim Curry's performance of Esme Squalor only enhanced her ridiculous trend following. "Children, here are some things you should know. Dark is in. Light is out. Stairs are in. Elevators are out. ⬇️

Kelly_the_Bookish_Sidekick Pinstripe suits are in. Those horrible clothes you are wearing are out." The word "in" perfectly becomes two syllables, so it's more like 'i-in". *chef's kiss* Esme, you're a terrible human, and your husband really needs to nut up, but by golly, you're entertaining. Just don't make me drink the celery soda.

At 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.⬇️

Kelly_the_Bookish_Sidekick Maybe my age is showing, but there can't be that many incompetent adults out there, right?! I also found the ending odd.

@AmandaBlaze The year didn't allow me to be a proper host and follow up regularly. Thank you for joining me early on!

Librarybelle I adored Tim Curry‘s narration of the series! 5mo
TieDyeDude I read these 8-or-so years ago, mixing audio and physical. I agree the narration was excellent. I was conflicted on the ending, and the long lists and tangents got a little tiresome towards the end, but I thought it was well done and a refreshingly unique and darker kids series. 5mo
PaperbackPirate @Kelly_the_Bookish_Sidekick @TieDyeDude I wasn‘t a fan of how the series ended, but it was a mostly fun ride. 😜 5mo

A Series of Unfortunate Events #3: The Wide Window is the third book in this captivating series. This story has many ups and downs and uses a mysterious and interesting writing style. This is a perfect read for many young readers and would most likely be perfect for the ages of 8-12.
