Series Books
by Stacey
Tonight, I handed Caroline a book and said, “I think you’ll like this series.”
She looked confused and said, “I thought you wanted me to stop reading series books.”
I understand her confusion. The whole thing confuses me too.
Right now Caroline is only reading series books and often only re-reading series books. I like a good series book but I sure would like her to venture into some new material.
She is definitely stuck. But she is stuck and reading at the same time.
So is she really stuck? For now, I’ve decided she is not.
Reading is reading is reading. And Caroline is reading… so stuck? No. She’s falling in love with books. So much she wants to read them again and again, and stick with her favourite characters and really become immersed in their world. What about finding out which books are the favourite of the authors of those books Caroline is reading? Then you could say something like “Oh, X really likes these books, maybe you could give them a try?”
