Thanks so much, guys.
I've given your ideas to her, she's going to mull them over. Still not sure what she will ultimately end up doing, though.
She hates reading, and this is torture for her. It's torture for me, to watch her glumly pick up the book, only to be distracted by something shiny a few minutes later! I badly want to discuss it with her, but must be oh so patient. Just as an idea of the HELL I've been going through with her, here's an actual conversation we had a month ago, at least:
Her: Mom, I've almost finished FOTR! Aren't you proud of me??
Me: Great! I loved the part when Gimli got offended because they wanted to blindfold him....
Her: Whoa! I haven't got that far yet! Way to give things away.
Me: I'm sorry, I thought you said you were almost done? What part are you at?
Her: Page three hundred and...
Me: What PART??
Her: The Council of uh, um, Elrond??
A month later, she's up to the White Rider chapter of TTT only.
