conulyand gave nearly all my series books to the school library. Milk crate after milk crate filled with Sweet Valley Twins, Baby-Sitters Club, and the like. I don't know what I bothered, I know for a fact only two of us ever used the library.
Consequently, our shelves have a very high caliber of children's and YA books, which I throw at the girls at every opportunity. They, of course, ignore my suggestions.
Today I started reading The Ear, the Eye, and the Arm to them - a book which I've tried numerous times over the past two years to get them to read, with no success. "Wow, Connie, what's the name of this one?" Yeah, I'm not telling you girls, you'll just read ahead. "Well, can you give us a hint?" Sure! It's one of the books I recommended you read last time you said there was nothing good to read in our house. "But Connie! That's hundreds of books!"
Well, maybe you should start taking my excellent advice, kids!
