Thanks for the recommendation for the DC book sale, as well as the American Girl book club resource. My daughter was recently given a historical doll and has loved reading all the books about how she lived back then. M: A mother-daughter book club is great way to spend quality time with your child; I don't think it would be invasive as long as your daughter is into it too. I would imagine most children would love the idea of their mom taking such an interest (and sharing laughs and thoughts) about their books. Stephanie: Thanks for writing in. I'm glad you agree that Gayle is a lovely lady! Michelle: It’s so encouraging to hear about little girls (and boys) becoming bookworms.

Especially interesting was part about online book clubs. And I do think Gayle's point about staying current on your child's reading (after they begin to read on their own) is a point well taken. Sometimes wish I had done this, although at the time I thought it would have been invasive. (Judy Bloom's books, the first to tackle controversial and intimate subjects, were popular at the time.) There's a fine line here. Any comments? Wonderful article–so much good information. Especially interesting was part about online book clubs.

If she's sitting still, she's got a book in her hands. If you live in the DC-metro area, you cannot afford to miss the American Association of University Women (AAUW) used book sale each spring. They have an incredible selection of books for kids and adults. And, you can't beat the prices. And, I love the idea of a Mother-Daughter book club. My daughter recently thought about starting a book club for her friends and we found this neat little starter kit at AmericanGirl.com: http://www.americangirl.com/fun/books/index.php?section=bookClubKit Girls can create bookmarks, invitations, calendars, and certificates. And, it has some great advice for girls on planning their club activities. My daughter has turned into a real bookworm. If she’s sitting still, she’s got a book in her hands.
