Personally, I can’t see that it would be very interesting, but she does have celebrity on her side. I’m sure someone will buy it. I […]

Ronald Reagan

Apparently Ronald Reagan was not a journal keeper, but did keep a meticulous diary during his term as president of USA. Read excerpts from his diary here. There are also sample pages of his handwriting in a slideshow format. Makes interesting reading.

Stolen Diary

The Freedom Writers have made interesting fodder for this blog here and here, but apparently their book has been ‘banned” from one school for its controversial adult content.

Gruesome Monster Diaries

While out shopping with my daughter today we came across the book The Monster Diaries with stunning illustrations by Poly Bernatene. Even though the pictures are somewhat gruesome and the topic bizarre, the illustrations are intriguing in their details and use of line and colour. The diary entries are also quite humorous.
