The Wide Window / Lemony Snicket

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

~ "That means," Klaus said, "that before long certain people will come to look at it. And some of those people"— he paused here dramatically — "will be realtors…" ~

Another bout of misery with the Baudelaire Orphans, and this time on a stormy lake! Usual shenanigans, a new eccentric guardian - loved Aunt Josephine but jaysus she sold them all down the lake! As with kids books, it is very paint by numbers, but that doesn’t make it any less enjoyable.

Once again, and I reiterate, Mr. Poe, why are you so incompetent 😂

On another note though, I love the emphasis that is placed on libraries and books throughout this series.

The Jim Carrey movie covered up to here, so while I may have had some level of cognisance when I started, from now on it’s all on the line! I know not what to expect.
