In reply to Maryam. I didn't read the other series or book, but Hermione is great! Definitely a strong heroine.

How hard is it to name a single favorite?

Hermione comes to mind first as the bookish, teacher’s pet-yet-saves-the-life-of-the-hero-time-and-again type. 😉
Lena, from the Delirium Series, is a great example of a girl growing into her own…easy to relate to.
Laila from Khaled Hosseini’s A Thousand Splendid Suns, who was resilient through the worst times a woman can go through.

I love Gin. Tough but vulnerable. Maybe it’s the overachiever in me, but I definitely related to Hermione. I loved Elizabeth Bennet (but really what girl doesn’t?) and currently, especially in YA, I love all the heroines from Ally Carter’s books, because they are like modern Nancy Drews – all super smart. And one is name Kat. And really, classically, who is tougher than my beloved Jane Eyre?

Edie — Thanks for guest blogging. I really appreciate it.

And thanks to everyone who mentioned Gin as one of their favorite heroines. That’s so nice of you guys to say, and those are some great characters/authors/books to be included with.

In reply to JenM. Jen, I sometimes feel the same way as Mercy. lol I definitely have to read her stories. And I'm so glad you love Belle! I'd love to be just like her.

I love Belle – she’s got that Mistress of the Universe attitude, no matter what form she’s in. I think my favorite heroine is Mercy Thompson from Patricia Brigg’s series. I love her because she’s never the strongest person in the room, but she refuses to give up and always wins out just by sheer determination and smarts.

In reply to Erin Lewy. Erin, I never read a Wrinkle in Time. I've heard of it, of course. I think it's about time I checked it out. Thanks!

In reply to 101StrangeAngel.

Strange, I’m so glad you loved Cattitude! There are kittens in Mo’s Hearts (though nothing like Belle in Cattitude), which is why I thought to give it away.

I absolutely love all of Jennifer’s heroines. And I remember Yelena from Poison Study, too. 🙂
