LOL.. My daughter loves goosebumps. I have a much younger brother and he had the whole series, which my daughter inherited...

Re: glutton for punishment
Humble brag? That is awesome. You are opening WORLDS of adventure and knowledge to her. Make sure she also loves to get out and see if for herself, but that is great. I was 10 when I made that breakthrough with Zane Grey, then was lost at 12 for good with The Hobbit. (although I had already read through our 3 encyclopedia sets before that.)

Re: glutton for punishment
I've got to work on her sense of responsibility and control to avoid the issues that I've complained about in the past. I seem to remember a child of mine who's name I'm not allowed to mention who read so much s/he either missed school or got there chronically late...all because s/he could not put a book down. And the hundreds of dollars of late fees to the library. and. and. It's a better addiction than most but remember that addictions can cost. A not-so-humble brag is that she's polite, respectful, loving, and is one of the constant reminders of why I'm here. When my older children get me so down that I don't want to work or move, it's the younger ones that give me hugs and tell me that they love me.
