A Series of Unfortunate Vote Offs

Book Survivor IV: The Great Character Battle

Oh hello, you sad people. Tis I, D. Pressed. I am here to tell you some horrifying news. Yes, The Series of Unfortunate Events and its representative, Klaus Baudelaire has been shamelessly ejected from this game. I bet this was all planned! This depressing, terrible series should not be read, as per Lemony Snicket, if you are faint of hearted or don't enjoy a sad story. The series has thirteen books naturally, and features the sad tale of the Baudelaire orphans who lost their parents in a tragic fire.

If you'd like to read more about this awful book series, check out:
