^ That actually reminds me of the LS book that takes place in August, where Karen feels like there isn't a holiday in August so she makes one up. {Karen's New Holiday.} Come to think of it, I also noticed Karen getting more and more into holidays as the series progressed. Although that wasn't something that was new to me since I feel like most kids love holidays.

Virgo, Afton loved this book  In fact Afton's birthday is in August so she thought that was a good new holiday! I remember Afton reading me parts of this book. |

I felt she was always into holidays from the start, including her very own birthday, thanksgiving, christmas, valentine's day and so on....she made me more excited about them too as a kid, and all the stuff she did in Karen's Wish and Karen's In Love was exciting.

She mentioned in one of the early books how she liked to celebrate "even the little ones, like Arbor Day"

Karen's School Picture is probably my favorite LS book, with Karen's Sleepover a close second. When I was a kid I loved reading about Karen getting her glasses. She made it sound like so much fun! It didn't make me wish I had glasses myself, but it was just entertaining to read about. She made everything seem like a fun adventure. I also loved when she went to the library and discovered lots of different book characters who wore glasses.

Yeah Karen's School picture was one of the first ones for me too, and I did get glasses some time before reading it. She made me want to wear them in my pictures, but I wish I didn't wear them in all looking back, I ruined a lot of good ones from 9 to 12.

I loved them when I was in elementary school and collected them throughout grades 4-6 even..only stopped because of some family members kind of forbidding it, saying I was too old and how I needed to expand my horizon, so I stopped, sadly..as a result I didn't get some of the books I always wanted to read until recently. Some of my favorites back then are still nostalgic for me as an adult..while not as big a fan of Karen as I was back then, I can still relate to some of her feelings..guess I'm a brat/sucky person too..  |
