So I think there's a chance that she'll enjoy reading. What do you suggest now?
There's a very small chance that you can convert a non-reader who is of a certain age to reading as a hobby. It happens, but it seems to me it really only happens to someone who really enjoyed reading as a teenager but dropped it due to life (career, kids, etc.) so ready to pick up again. I did get a couple of ladies to convert by giving them mysteries that were focused on quilting/knitting and now they are off reading all sorts of cozies.
