Dear Volunteers,
In May 2017, here at A Series of Unfortunate Events forum, it will be our goal to reach two milestones, first crossing 10'000 posts, but then because it is a number with great meaning, our ultimate goal will be 13'000 posts!


How we can reach our goals...
1. Participate in special events such as a series read for the books and watch for the television show as well as the movie (see below);
2. Vote in our Lemony Snicket Quote Survivor (Coming May 1st);
3. Explore the many discussion topics already available to you;
4. Suggest new discussion topics;
5. Any other ideas?

Suggested events:

Book Series Read-Along

Have you never read the tales of the Baudelaire orphans? (Save yourself!)
Has it been a long time, is your memory failing? (Keep it that way!)
Have you become so familiar that all joy in life has been lost? (You poor dear...)

Well, we suppose some things are inevitable... As such, you may wish to join us in reading and/or discussing each of the 13 novels in the series as penned by the elusive Lemony Snicket...
We provide for you a suggested schedule for discussion. If you are unable to keep up with it for one reason or another, by all means, go at your own pace!

Oh dear, what's this now? They've gone and brought the unfortunate tales of those orphans to television? Well now, we suppose you might be interested in that sort of thing, far be it for us to tell you what to do! (Look away... Look away...)
But if you're feeling particularly adventurous, we offer you a chance to watch and discuss this episodic incarnation among like minded people, every Saturday and Sunday throughout the month of May...
