DD10 has scattered several reads together, many times starting but never finishing large novels or whole series, which I attribute to her naturally developing sticktuitiveness, which is age-appropriate but well behind her reading level.
Thanks for this. DD8's unsticktuitiveness has been slightly bugging me - not just large novels but all sorts of projects - but this is a much better way of looking at it.
I've been trying to remind myself too that DD doesn't have to like every book I put in her path. She does give them all a go, at least - and yes, half a dozen at a time. Sometimes it's a surprise which ones she'll finish (not the easy Horrible History types, more the Phantom Tollbooth types). Meanwhile, I read one at a time, and I'm determined to finish each one, unless I really really hate it in which case I skim read to the end to see what happens.
