A Series Of Unfortunate Events By Lemony Snicket - Reading from 'The Ersatz Elevator (A Series of Unfortunate Events #6)' from December 13th 2018

[Abi]

Dear Reader,

I'm sorry to say that the book you are holding in your hands is extremely unpleasant. It tells an unhappy tale about three very unlucky children. Even though they are charming and clever, the Baudelaire siblings lead lives filled with misery and woe. From the very first page of this book when the children are at the beach and receive terrible news, continuing on through the entire story, disaster lurks at their heels. One might say they are magnets for misfortune.

In this short book alone, the three youngsters encounter a greedy and repulsive villain, itchy clothing, a disastrous fire, a plot to steal their fortune, and cold porridge for breakfast.

It is my sad duty to write down these unpleasant tales, but there is nothing stopping you from putting this book down at once and reading something happy, if you prefer that sort of thing.

With all due respect,
Lemony Snicket

35% (view spoiler)[ poor kids... After they make that damn sauce and pudding they still get treated rotten. What does Count Olaf have in mind to get the money? He is so evil.
50% why does Count Olaf want the children to be part of his play? And that is sick he wants Violet to play his bride... he sounds so fishy. Ah Mr. Poe why are you not helping this children? (hide spoiler)]

64% (view spoiler)[ OMG don't tell me Count Olaf has Sunny...He is going to Force Violet to marry him for real... God that is disgusting, she is only 14. What people will do for money, he already sounds super disgusting! I am so proud of Klaus for figuring out the plan Count Olaf had... ahh... books hold the magic keys. (hide spoiler)]

[[deleted user]]

Finished. (view spoiler)[ Well that was rude! But I guess Mr. Poe does have to follow the children's parents' last wish (hide spoiler)]

[Maddie]

Might read this a little earlier. We'll see :)

[Maddie]

Yeah I probably will. It'll be in 1 sitting too XD It's so short.

[cors]

Starting this series today! A bit early I know but I just can't wait to watch the TVS :)

[Dannii]

I feel like the last person on earth to read this series so I am excited to binge them, this month :)

It's my first time reading them too

[Stormy]

Hi I would love to read The Vile Village when u get up 2 it

[Lee]

I would also like to join this. This series is fabulous and I miss it.

[Maddie]

Oh yay a big bunch of people :D

Will anyone else be binging them with Dannii? Because I don't think I can XD

But yeah I'll start this one in the next few days :) I should get my current little novella finished today and my next book started, and then finished tomorrow. Then I'll get onto this :) Unfortunately I don't have #2 to read straight after, but I'll be picking that up on Thursday. I've also read 3-5 sitting on my shelf, just waiting on #2 haha. Also got a few really big books to squish in somewhere too XD

[Maddie]

Oh wow, no updates throughout the book? You might need to post some more if you want to count it for a br in the monthly challenge XD

I'm 4% into my current read, and I'm planning on reading a lot today, so I'll definitely get to this tomorrow.

[cors]

@maddison- I figured as much. Lol It has to be a minimu of four update right?

[cors]

Since these books are really short reads. I decided to compile all my updates in one post for every single book. So my comment in this thread won't mess up your notifs. Here's the first one.

The Bad Beginning
Chapters 1 - 4
(view spoiler)[ I might've watched the movie but that was a long time ago. I vaguely remember some things but it was indeed unfortunate for the Baudelaire siblings to be orphaned at an early age. (hide spoiler)]

The Bad Beginning
Chapters 5 - 8
(view spoiler)[ Oh-uh! This is not good. Sunny's gone and nowhere to be found. Count Olaf is taking the "age doesn't matter" motto too seriously. (hide spoiler)]

The Bad Beginning
Chapters 9 - 12
(view spoiler)[What will happen next? Is Violet legally married to that snivelling jerk named Count Olaf? Noooo! (hide spoiler)]

The Bad Beginning
Done
(view spoiler)[ I enjoyed the first book! I'm binge read this series since it's just a very short read. (hide spoiler)]

[Maddie]

Ah awesome thanks :) At least I don't have to wait until the end now to read the spoilers XD I like the layout too!

And the last few books aren't as short. Did you get my message?

[cors]

Second Book:

The Reptile Room
Chapters 1 - 4
(view spoiler)[Count Olaf is still despicable as ever. Uncle Monty's gonna die and I don't want him to. I guess we'll just have to see what will happen next. (hide spoiler)]

The Reptile Room
Chapters 5 - 8
(view spoiler)[ Uncle Monty is dead, what are the orphans gonna do now? I hate that no one believes the children. (hide spoiler)]

The Reptile Room
Chapter 6 - 12
(view spoiler)[Let me guess, Dr. Lucafont is Count Olaf's partner in crime. Sunny is so cute, I wanna pinch her cheeks (hide spoiler)]
Second Book:

The Reptile Room
Done
(view spoiler)[ I got teary eyed at that ending. The Incredibly Deadly Viper was the only thing I wish that the orphans get to keep but unfortunately they didn't. I'll remember to make my future children read these books (hide spoiler)]

[Maddie]

Oh wow how many have you read??

The B..."

I can't wait to read your updates once I've read the book!

[Maddie]

Haha me too! These books will be ones I read in a day. Well the shorter ones anyway. I'm 40% through my current read, but then tomorrow I'll finish and hopefully read this one. Just depends how I feel XD

[Maddie]

I've got to get my current read, this one and Crown's Game read by the 10th, because I have another 2 BRs starting then..

[Dannii]

As they are so short I'm hoping to read them inbetween other longer books, over the rest of the mo th.

I loved The Crown's Game. I hope you enjoy it :)

[cors]

@Maddison- I think I'll finish the third book today as well. Tomorrow, the fourth and fifth. Hopefully

@Danii- I'm excited to see what you think of them!

[Maddie]

@Dannii: Seems like I'd better request all of the books then XD I'll be trying to squish them in where I can so I can try and keep up with you guys!

@Coreen: I didn't know you read so quickly!! How do you have the time?
