I Write What I Read

Netflix has announced plans to adapt Lemoney Snicket’s beloved 13-part seriesA Series of Unfortunate Events.The live-action series will be geared towards children and families, though we imagine many young adults will be tuning in to see one of their favorite stories come to life.Netflix is currently in search of a director. x

First it was Gilmore Girls, now Netflix will be creating a live action a Series of Unfortunate Events! They just keep granting wishes!

Problem is, I don't live in America! Ugh...

I hear and read of ways on how to get Netflix, even if you're not from the US, but those things are just so complicated for me! FML.

But still happy about this though. Good for the young ones and not so young people that reaches Netflix!

Like, are you daydreaming of those beautiful scenes from the book also??

Violet, Klaus, and Sunny Baudelaire are intelligent children. They are charming, and resourceful, and have pleasant facial features. Unfortunately, they are exceptionally unlucky.

In the first two books alone, the three youngsters encounter a greedy and repulsive villain, itchy clothing, a disastrous fire, a plot to steal their fortune, a lumpy bed, a deadly serpent, a large brass reading lamp, a long knife, and a terrible odour.

In the tradition of great storytellers, from Dickens to Dahl, comes an exquisitely dark comedy that is both literary and irreverent, hilarious and deftly crafted. Never before has a tale of three likeable and unfortunate children been quite so enchanting, or quite so uproariously unhappy.

I have officially broken my own record of books read in a year. Last year I was only able to read 32 books. I was really disappointed about it, but it was all good because I was able to read lots of great books last year.

The 33rd book that I just finished reading is Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events: The Reptile Room. I started reading this earlier this year and only got around to finishing it upon realizing the next book I finish will be the book that breaks my record.


I felt a little guilty that I didn't put time in reading this book, because I really wanted to finish the whole series. I kept putting it on hold because of new books that I would start to read and forget about The Reptile Room. To appease myself of the guilt, I promised to finish reading it and make it historical by making it the record breaker.

November is in a week, do I still have the time to reach 50 books? Let's get it on!
