Who Could That Be at This Hour? by Lemony Snicket -> Starting March 26th, 2022

[Aly]

The adventure began in a fading town. Far from anyone he knew or trusted, a young Lemony Snicket started an apprenticeship for a secret organization shrouded in mystery and secrecy. He asked questions that shouldn't have been on his mind. Now he has written an account that should not be published that shouldn't be read. Not even by you. Seriously, we recommend that you do NOT ask your parents for this, the first book in his new ALL THE WRONG QUESTIONS series.
Lemony Snicket, in case you don't already know, grew up to be the author of A Series of Unfortunate Events series.

Managed to get this on audio from my library.

[Aly]

Yay!

Ch 1-4 (view spoiler)[ This is kind of funny and pretty intriguing so far. You can definitely tell it's from Snicket through the writing.
I wonder who those people were if not Lemony's parents and what they wanted with him? And who is the girl he was supposed to meet with? (hide spoiler)]

[Aly]

Ch 5-7 (view spoiler)[ I wonder if the sub librarian guy is the one who called Ellington? He has a deep voice and is living in the town. Lots of questions about everything going on still (hide spoiler)]

[Karen]

Ch1-4. Like the way this is set up and introduces us to the character. The narrator’s rather hard to listen to, but I’m liking the story so far.

I hate when the narrator isn't great

[Aly]

Ch 8-11 (view spoiler)[ I'm more confused about this mystery than I am about some adult mysteries. It seems like all the weird things happening are related, but I'm not sure how. (hide spoiler)]

[Aly]

Ch 12-End (view spoiler)[ that ended much sooner than I thought, about 90% of the ebook. I didn't realize this would go to a sequel, so now I'll have to get book two I guess.

I do wonder what Lemony and his sister were planning and why the chaperones were fighting over him (hide spoiler)]

It makes it harder. They're not bad per se, but the accent is off-putting and I'm finding it hard to understand certain words.

[Karen]

Ch5-8. I’m curious to know who’s behind these calls and who might be orchestrating some of these events. Every time they seem to push toward finding an answer, something else gets added to the mix.

Yes, a lot of things are going on in this little town!

Hey Girls, I’m a little behind on this buddy read, but I hope to catch up soon.

(view spoiler)[ Just as things were seeming interesting, it was over. Odd. (hide spoiler)]

Finished. Review on home page. Not sure there's enough to win any new fans, but for those already a fan it'll offer an interesting diversion.

Can't imagine it'll take you long! I'll be interested to see what you make of it.

Yes, totally agree with this. Let me know if you want to read the sequel

Let me check on BorrowBox to see if it's available at. the library.

I’m really sorry ladies. I had every intention to read and I’ve been so busy lately. I hope there are still people who are interested in reading this and haven’t started yet.
