Help Finding a Book
I am posting to find a good, short novel for my Girlfriend to read. Her native language is not English, and she wants to learn to read better and had asked me to find a short fantasy novel for her to read. I would like your help finding something that is short, and not a dark fantasy. I will be reading the novel beforehand so that if she has any questions I can try to answer them. We both love reading, and she wants to develop her English skills better so that she can better understand the books that she sees in my bookshelf. I want to help, but I have a tendency to read books that have very complicated and complex plots that she has told me she doesn't understand.
For those of you who think I am being rude to her, or diminishing her intelligence in any way, I will tell you that she is waaaaayyyyyy smarter than I am. She is a doctor in her home country and I am just a manual laborer with a passion for books. So no, I am not diminishing her in any way, I am trying to find her a book she can enjoy within the parameters that she set for me.
Thanks in advance for your help!

Nicholas Sparks and Danielle Stelle might be good choices.

I think it's really sweet what you're doing for your girlfriend. I hope this helps, but I think Tamora Pierce books would be great for her. I read her Song of the Lioness series when I was a teenager and I still love it.Ebrown086 wrote: ↑06 Nov 2020, 17:35 Hello all,
