Series Spotlight: The Series of Unfortunate Events

A little blurb about the series:

If you have not read anything about the Baudelaire orphans, then before you read even one more sentence, you should know this: Violet, Klaus, and Sunny are kindhearted and quick-witted, but their lives are filled with bad luck and misery. All of the stories about these three children are unhappy and wretched and will most likely fill you with deep despair.

Hello Readers.

It has been years since I have read these books but I am thinking that a reread is in order very soon. They have been brought back into the forefront with the Netflix adaptation so I thought that I would spotlight them. This is a series that will draw you in on the first book and will carry you along until the end. You feel like you are a part of it. You are taken along these adventures and feel all the ups and downs as the children find their way. For those of you that have not read them, I highly recommend that you do. For those of you that have, join me in a reread. With this roller coaster, I could use a friend of two.
