Recs if you like Diary of a Wimpy Kid...

it’s vaguely the 2010’s. the walls are painted a garish shade of purple, littlest pet shop pets line the walls, and everything smells like a jolly watermelon smencil.

these are the books that I remember from a childhood spent reading voraciously. the nostalgia is baked in.

Books that were adapted into movies (not tv shows). Let's make this list as long as possible!

(going to only add the first book in a series)

books that remind me of my Gen Z childhood, not necessarily books published 1997-2012. i haven’t read all, but most.

feel free to leave recs in the comments!
