I would like to report MASSIVE SUCCESS with one out of one, that being Harriet Hamsterbone :)

Me: I have this book for you that a friend with a kid your age recommended, and it looks pretty great. I think you'd like it.
E: Meh.
Me: Well, I'm going to pack it on our trip.
E: OK, I might not read it.

[a couple of days later]
E: Let's read a book before bed.
Me: How about Harriet Hamsterbone?
E: I guess.
Me: *reads one chapter*
E: ...I am going to steal this and read the entire thing tomorrow.
Me: But I thought we were going to read it together?
E: Not anymore!
