My work here is done

[litlover12]

From the time my godchildren were little, I've sent them children's books about Dickens, annotated A Christmas Carol for them, and so forth. It appears to have paid off. Their mother reports that my oldest godchild, age 9, picked out and bought David Copperfield at the used bookstore!

My friends, I am a happy godmother.

A very great feeling! Now I just hope she likes it! :-) She is pretty young for it, but I think it's a good thing that she picked it out on her own and doesn't feel like anyone's making her read it. Even if she just dabbles in it for a while, that'd be good!

I don't think I've read it, myself. I think that's amazing for 9 years old! Like you said, even if she just reads bits here and there, that's great!
