"Kate Beckinsale is passionate about reading, but says her daughter&amp;apos;s passion for The Twilight Saga nearly &amp;quot;ruined&amp;quot; their family&amp;apos;s Christmas!\r\nDuring National Reading Month in March, the Total Recall star, 38, teamed up with &amp;quot;The Nestle Share the Joy Reading Program&amp;quot; to promote the importance of children&amp;apos;s literacy.\r\n\r\nBeckinsale told Us Weekly, &amp;quot;One of the things I like about the Nestle program is that it is very good with providing reading materials to children who are from low income families and don&amp;#x2019;t have access in their homes&amp;#x2026; [to] age appropriate reading material.&amp;quot;&amp;#xA0;\r\nThe actress has a 13-year-old daughter, Lily, with her ex Michael Sheen, 43. The couple separated in 2003 after eight years and Beckinsale married Len Wiseman, 38, in 2004.&amp;#xA0;\r\n\r\n\r\n&amp;quot;I&amp;#x2019;ve been very obsessed with reading since I was tiny,&amp;quot; she shared. &amp;quot;My mum was a big reader and very much imposed reading on me and I&amp;#x2019;m the same with my daughter, who&amp;#x2019;s a huge reader.&amp;quot;&amp;#xA0;\r\nRecalled Beckinsale, &amp;quot;She read Twilight and was completely obsessed with them. It actually almost ruined Christmas one year because all she wanted to do was be a vampire and she didn&amp;#x2019;t want anything on her Christmas list.&amp;quot;\r\n\r\nThe actress read to her daughter &amp;quot;every night for 11 something years&amp;quot; until it became &amp;quot;a little less appropriate&amp;quot; as Lily grew up.\r\n&amp;quot;I did read the entire Harry Potter, which, you know they got pretty long in the end,&amp;quot; she explained to Us Weekly. &amp;quot;We did all that and that was a really fun thing for us.&amp;quot;"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
