What a great thing to do when she can't sleep -- much better than knocking on your door! Plus, it sounds like an imaginative way of getting around the loss of "reading before bed" privileges.annohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05102616203481686227noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14366870.post-1160244138957836402006-10-07T14:02:00.000-04:002006-10-07T14:02:00.000-04:00You gotta love a kid who loves to read. :)As for r...You gotta love a kid who loves to read. :)<BR/><BR/>As for reading at 3:00 in the morning, that's pretty much par for the course for me. *g*<BR/><BR/>muocjq - many umpires overcharge catchers jumping quicklyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14366870.post-1160225369421813052006-10-07T08:49:00.000-04:002006-10-07T08:49:00.000-04:00I read somewhere that if you, when you finish a ch...I read somewhere that if you, when you finish a chapter, write a short description of that chapter... a summary, if you will... that not only will it allow you to keep up with things, but when the book is finished, so is the synopsis. I've never tried it, but it sounds like it might work. If I can find the article, I'll send it to you.<BR/><BR/>RE: daughter. She sounds just like me at that age. I loved to read and (of course) still do. I remember night after night hiding under my covers with my flashlight after "nights out"... I just had to finish "one more chapter"!<BR/><BR/>Good for her ;-)Judyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15335026948607722749noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14366870.post-1160221772542996842006-10-07T07:49:00.000-04:002006-10-07T07:49:00.000-04:00Its wonderful that your daughter loves to read so ...Its wonderful that your daughter loves to read so much. My daughter hasn't reached that stage yet, but I didn't start reading a lot until I was around 12,so she has some time to go. I'm trying to introduce her to some of my favorites from growing up, like my Lloyd Alexander High King series (I spoke to him on the phone once, what a sweet man!) and the Little House series. <BR/><BR/>Good luck with the edits. I hate that stage, but not nearly as much as I dislike the synopsis and query. But you'll do just fine. Send along what you'd like and I'll take a look. :D<BR/><BR/>Now I'm off to work. Its going to be a looooong day!<BR/><BR/>zqduyae-zoos quickly decide unusual yaks are excitingCeri Heberthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17584297798290334430noreply@blogger.com
