Why should she monetize? Not everything needs to be side hustle. That is an AMAZING gift - one she shares with Teddy Roosevelt. Don’t monetize and take the joy out of it.
Maybe she could write her thoughts on each book and create a blog? I would read to get a summary of a book and if that catches my interest then buy the book. She can put links to the author’s page and link to buy the book, can get affiliate $$ from amazon store if ppl buy the book by navigating from her page.
You mean Blinkist?
You obviously don’t have kids

Does SHE want to monetize this skill?!
I agree G1, not every hobby or creative passion needs to lead to monetary gain and it certainly can erode the enjoyment. Like in this case, having to write about a book she read might seem like a chore as she may need to re read or read a different way to be able to write intelligently about it and that takes away the pure pleasure of reading for herself for enjoying the reading and the content.
How many pages?
My 10 year old is the same way. I used to joke that he had read more books than I have. Now it's not a joke; he has by a long shot.

All sounds good.
@CD1 - apologies for jumping in you. Glad to see we are all supportive of the same thing here!
In my country, you can make a lot of money reading out bingo numbers over and over again....infinite number of unique combinations
You just say bingo
Only in the west do we try to monetize simple things that bring joy. Does she want to monetize it? If not let her have this gift. I'd kill to be able to read a book a day. I love to read and can typically finish a 200-300pp book in about 3 weeks. Anything over 350 and it's about a month. Kudos to her.
Become a lawyer?
While we are at it, what other skills does she have that could be “monetized”.
I could be wrong on this but pretty sure my MIL types up existing books for translation into Braille for the blind. She doesn’t know Braille, just has to type. I think it’s also a volunteer or small stipend.
She could also try to be a proofreader?

Monetize by getting a new job that pays more with longer hours. I don’t finish my work days until 9 everyday 😭
