I really enjoy the Diary of a Wimpy Kid books. They're all very amusing, and the humor in them always manages to get a laugh at me. The sample has me hooked already, and I have high expectations that I'm sure will not be disappointed.Almost 7 years agocandyexpressliked a comment in Summer Reading 2017.

I enjoy the Geronimo Stilton series and would really enjoy having another book to read over the summer.Almost 7 years agocandyexpress added a book review.
Dork Diaries are those books that never seem to get old, no matter how many years have passed since you first started the series and got obsessed. It's been years since I've read the first one, and my reading style and level has definitely changed over that period of time, but the stunning illustrations and plots never disappoint. This book was a quick read, but in the time I spent reading it, I enjoyed every second of it. The book takes some unexpected twists, and I find myself following Niki, the main character, around, experiencing and feeling everthing she is going through. The author captures the struggles of teens beautifully, making it completely relatable. Each event gets me hungry for more.Almost 7 years agocandyexpress added a book review.
Rereading books is something I seldom do. Once I read a story, reliving the events and enjoying it just isn't as easy as the first time. On the other hand, The Lightning Thief was a book that required multiple rereads to fully comprehend how amazing and thrilling it was. The way Rick Riordan narrates his book is its own art. It's like having a conversation with this relatable teen through the pages of these books. I can't recall reading a book that follows the topic of Greek gods, but this one will definitely stick in my mind forever. The adventures and challenges Percy faces finding out he is a demigod, child of a mortal and god, are amazingly thrilling and exciting. You find a lot of people raving about the book, and there's a perfect reason for it. This book definitely taught me a lot about mythology and gave me the full experience of reading an entertaining and amusing book.Almost 7 years agocandyexpressliked a comment in Summer Reading 2017.

As usual, Jeff Kinney succeeds in releasing another relatable, humorous, and entertaining book. Despite the laid back nature the book tends to have, it was definitely a piece of writing that did not lack any of the classical techniques including descriptions. When Greg was spending his time with the other boys in the cabin, I could see myself standing in the cramped space, foul odors drifting around me, and the chatter of the loud boys. It was all so vivid, and the pictures were crazy good as always. Usually, I feel that the books written by Jeff Kinney are very predictable, but this time, the author did not take his usual path. Instead, I found myself being surprised by something at the end. Did not see it coming, but that may be the reason why Old School was so amazing!Almost 7 years ago
