New “Diary of a Wimpy Kid” book!

So what was your favorite book series in elementary school?

I was hooked on to Diary of Wimpy Kid books.

I remember trading them with friends or my brother since he read them before me. They were the only books that looked more like journals in a style that featured ruled lines, as well as the author’s unique writing style, and the fun cartoons. I think I even got some of the books as birthday gifts from friends and family. I am pretty sure my Mom still has some of those stashed away since they were my favorites and she does hold dear the things her kids loved when young!

So, the big news is that there is a new Diary of a Wimpy Kid book that was released in October and its titled “Diary of a Wimpy Kid - Hot Mess”. I am thinking of getting it just for old times sake.

Fun tidbit. Do you know that the author of Diary of a Wimpy Kid, Jeff Kinney and his wife own a bookstore that they opened 9 years ago? The store is named “An Unlikely story” and its in Plainville, MA, so if you happen to find yourself there, make sure to visit it.

Here is the Wikipedia link if you want to dive into the history of my favorite book series.
