2005: #24 – The Vile Village (Lemony Snicket)

March 31, 2005January 14, 2021

Book #24 was Book the Seventh in Lemony Snicket’s A Series of Unfortunate Events, The Vile Village. Between weeding last night and driving to work this morning, I finally managed to finish this book. I think I enjoyed this one more than the last few. The formula was shaken up a bit. And I’ve never heard “deus ex machina” explained so well! Only 4 left!

2005: #21 – The Ersatz Elevator (Lemony Snicket)

March 15, 2005January 14, 2021

Book #21 was Book the Sixth of A Series of Unfortunate Events, The Ersatz Elevator. Another winner from Mr. Snicket. I even learned a new word — ersatz! How I escaped 6th grade vocabulary without that gem, I’ll never know. P.S. I’m extremely glad that Tim Curry is back reading these books. He adds so much to it. Book count: 21/50 — 42% Page count:

2005: #16 – The Austere Academy (Lemony Snicket)

March 1, 2005January 14, 2021

Book 16 was A Series of Unfortunate Events, Book the Fifth — The Austere Academy. Mr. Snicket switched things up a little bit here. Unlike the first 4 books, this book didn’t end with Count Olaf quickly escaping and the Baudelaires just left to move on to a new home. Nope, this book ends with a kidnapping! There also was the introduction of a couple

2005: #12 – The Miserable Mill (Lemony Snicket)

February 17, 2005January 14, 2021

Book number 12 was Lemony Snicket’s fourth book, The Miserable Mill. More of the same. I feel like I’m starting to get a little bogged down in them, so I think that after I finish the next one, I’m going to start alternating them with some other audio books. I think I’m coming down with Baudelaire overload. Page count: 3,485/15,000

This was a basic slow-burn, closed-door, contemporary romance. At the center of the story are Jolene and Tucker. Jolene has a lot of strong feelings and distrust around alcohol and people who drink, thanks to her mother and an ex-boyfriend (yet when given a choice, she works in a bar……..). Tucker has been widowed for two years after his seemingly angelic wife dies in a
