I checked back through all four pages and I didn't see a topic on this, but I'm so excited I may have missed it.

Is anyone else a fan of Lemony snicket? How long have you been one?

I discovered the series a little over a year ago, in the summer of 2002. I'd noticed them around and finally gave in. I found Book the Second and Book the Seventh at the library, and read those within a few days. I went back for more, but they weren't there. So I began going to Barnes & Noble and reading them there (yes, without buying them). I didn't want to have to pay $10+ for each book. I found them at Costco for a few dollars cheaper and bought all of my books there. I never could find them used. I'm only missing The Wide Window and the Unauthorized Biography (the biography being the only one I've not read).

And the reason I created this thread...

I hold in my hands - well, I would be holding it, if my hands weren't currently involved in typing - The Slippery Slope, Book the Tenth! Anyone else have it? I got mine at Borders a little bit ago. Unless they had others elsewhere on display, they only had two of the books! And I didn't have to pay full price either. smile.gif

I'm a huge fan. And the movie was awesome, I took my little sister to see it and she loved it, and she's only four!

I get days like that, but I trying to get used to the whole I'm living on the East Coast and haven't done that since I was six years old and I want to move back to San Fransisco and be with my dad and Grandmother, but instead I'm stuck with my Mom, stepdad, stepsiblings (Only one of which I can half tolerate) and annoying halfsister. But i'm trying to appreciate the things Philadelphia has that San fransisco doesn't, like snow. But that's the only thing I can think of.


And to the question I have been asked many times before on other boards: yes my name REALLY is Ginny, only it's not short for Ginevra or Virginia, it's short for Genevieve (pronounced Gin-eh-veev, not Gen-uh-veev or John-vee-ev, as I'm constantly correcting people, like my stepfather for example)
