Fortunately, the Milk by Neil Gaiman, Skottie Young (Illustrator)

The Last Straw (Diary of a Wimpy Kid #3) by Jeff Kinney

Something different in the new year… Although technically it’s not new year anymore. I found this book at my parents’ place, among a pile of old books. This is one of my brother’s books, which I had never got around to reading. He does buy some interesting books!
