The end of THE END



We did it! Lying on our bellies, side by side on the living room floor, Madison and I read together the final chapter of Lemony Snickets's "A Series of Unfortunate Events". 13 books in all-the final book naturally was called, "The End". Bittersweet...




We've spent the last year reading these books. It all began when Madison was reading the first one and started having nightmares about the book--that's when I started reading them along with her. We would wait for each other to finish before we went on to the next book.




Last year during spring break, we would walk along the beach and Madison would say, " Mama, what do you want to talk about?" , " "What do you think is going to happen next?". This went on for the next year. So it only seemed right to read the final chapter out loud together. I'll miss these books...and all our talks about them...




Now what, Madison?






"Harry Potter" she says!

Choose your own adventure books were always fun!!! I may still have some of those. Each time you read them it's a different story!
