I’ll be taking my “little sister” mentee to this. She loves the “Diary of a Wimpy Kid” series. She’s already looking forward to purchasing the “make it yourself” book, which apparently guides you in making your own diary. I love it!

I love reading! I just started book 2 of The Hunger Games series, “Catching Fire.” It keeps me up at night, keeps me hungry, and best of all transports me into a reality that’s different from my own.
