I snagged a complete boxed set of Kirsten books at a garage sale this summer. I was excited because not only is Kirsten Swedish, she also moves to Minnesota. What a perfect combo!

We just finished reading Meet Kirsten and it is taking all of my will to not sit down and read the entire set in one day. I know MissE would LOVE that, but it would be better to read the Christmas Story a little closer to Christmas

Another good note about reading Kirsten is that her American Girl Doll has been retired. I won’t be tempted to run to the store, overspend, and buy the doll because I am emotionally attached to the story.
