Ratings and reviews

I started reading these books when I was 7 and I'm 11 now. I read these books in 2 days because there so good I can't keep my eyes out of them. we had to write about our favorite book character and I wrote about Nikki Maxwell. Ever time I finish these books I freak out and when new ones come out I do my Snoopy happy dance I am speaking 4 all dork diaries fan everywhere please make a movie I don't know how I ever lived without these

I'm a big fan of Dork Diaries. I really love reading all the books. I have all of them which I read everyday. The last book is royal to me cause Nikki is a princess like me. I really think dork diaries should put more specific details on the book with juicy inside stuff of her life and put a little drama into it♥♥♥♥

I've been reading Dork Dairy since I was in 5th grade and I'm in 7th right now and I totally love it. It makes me think how my life is something like Nikki's except I don't have that kind of relationship with my crush. And I got my mom to buy me all the books and so jdjsjsjdjdbdbdbdkzkd I LOVE THIS BOOK it's so magical!!!!!
