Good Morning K., I was like your daughter when younger. I remember Mom ironing on Friday evenings and me having to sit and read my library books to her as a grade schooler.
Snip Snap Snur and the little red shoes. Would be a classic by now, if i could find it...lol
I disliked ready for knowledge, still do. Give me a mystery or drama and I am in heaven now. I have a friend that can't get enough History and reads anything and everything History related. They only books I read that has history though out the story is a Historical Romance.
I bought our neice the American Girl series for several years, she enjoyed them. She just turned 18 and buys her own books now.
Does your daughter have any special interests or hobbies?
Debbie Macomber does some good books, most are centered around a small town setting, with a knit shop.
I bought some classic books, Cinderella, Snow White, Moby Dick, Tom Sawyer for my oldest gr children and we read together when they come here. Their mom used to read with them at night a chapter, before bed. I think that went by the way side a while back. Tia finished the Twilight series in school she is 10. I am trying to remember the next series she wanted to read, but the name fails me. There was like 5-6 books in the series. They were at Wal-Mart.

Then there is the Dangers of Daniel X
If you read together that might get her interested more with reading.
I have read over 50+ books since Jan.
Have a fun summer reading for fun.
God Bless
