My Heart's as Cold as Ike.

The Wide Window
By Lemony Snicket 

I had this plan a few weeks ago where I was going to read all thirteen books in the A Series of Unfortunate Events series(saga? idk) but that plan kind of failed once I read The Wide Window. I'm not entirely sure why, it might have something to do with me re reading The Mortal Instruments, or it might be because I just didn't fully want to commit to reading thirteen books that I've already read when there are so many books I'm currently excited about. Either way I've kind of put Lemony Snicket on the back burner while I jump back into the world of the Shadowhunters. 

I figured since I read The Wide Window (maybe not fully this time around, but I have read it!) I would carry on and do a review of this as well as the first two books in the series. 

In the wide window, the orphans are now living with their Aunt Josephine by the, slightly terrifying, Lake Lachrymose. She's obsessed with grammar and kind of recently lost her husband, Ike. She's nice and good and all that lovely stuff, but then obviously Count Olaf ruins everything. 

I'm not going to lie here, The Wide Window is probably my least favourite book in this series, maybe that's why I've lost the motivation to read it? But as always it's wonderfully written and Count Olaf continues to scare and creep the hell out of me.
