ASOUE #1: The Bad Beginning / Lemony Snicket

⭐️⭐️⭐️✨ 

~ They didn't understand it, but like so many unfortunate events in life, just because you don't understand it doesn't mean it isn't so... ~

I picked all 13 of these up in a charity shop a while ago. I wanted to read them as a kid but I never got around, and I would never get them all separately for that price so here I am.

A strong start. The Bad Beginning is a very accurate title. A Marvellous Marriage indeed. Fair play to the kids for copping on as all the adults seem fairly stupid throughout 😂

I can imagine that things will get a lot worse for the Baudelaire Three as things go on. Is saying I’m looking forward to it a bit morbid?! 😂
