Today is Tuesday so again we’re linking up with the Broke and the Bookish with a list of Amanda’s favorite heroines.
I think this is a pretty random list-in no particular order.
- Hermione Granger.
- Kelsea in Queen of the Tearling. Seriously people, read it.
- October Daye from Seanan McGuire’s October Daye series
- Lisbeth Salander from the Millennium trilogy
- Katsa from Graceling
- Sydney Sage from Richelle Mead’s Bloodlines
- Elisa from Girl of Fire & Thorns
- Karou from Daughter of Smoke and Bone
- Celaena Sardothian from Throne of Glass
- Anne Shirley from Anne of Green Gables
Who’s on your list?
GREAT list. The Queen of the Tearling is on my list, I swear! Weirdly, I’d kind of forgotten about Lisbeth! She’s so badass, I don’t know how that happened.
I swear reading so many books sometimes eats your memory of what we’ve read. but one would be sorry to forget Lisbeth entirely i bet!
I very much agree with this. Someone commented on a photo on my IG this morning about the ending of a book I read like 5 weeks ago (Night Film) and I was like uhhhhhhhhhhhhh, right…the ending…I’ve read 14 books since that. No idea.
Daughter of Smoke and Bone is on my TBR and I’m guessing I should add The Queen of the Tearling? 🙂 And yes Anne! I love Anne though I do love Gilbert more.
Oh yes Gilbert is wonderful himself!
Oooh…Lots of new books to look at. Two of them I know and agree with (kinda wish I’d thought of Anne Shirley for one of mine! Though Anne of Green Gables made it onto a later list), which makes me just feel like I have to read the rest of the books 🙂
Cealena..never for me..noooo 😉
Katniss Everdeen is also on my list. She was willing to give up her life, her freedom, her self, she was even willing to marry someone she didn’t love all to save her family and her people. She didn’t set out to be a heroine or the face of the alliance, she just wanted to save her sister. That’s pretty badass in my book 🙂
All excellent points! I thought about her, just not the top of my list
I was so obsessed with the Millennium trilogy that I can’t believe I forgot to add Lisbeth to my list, she’s such a strong character. I loved the movies too.
I have Throne of Glass and Queen of the Tearling on my TBR, so can’t wait to meet those heroines too 🙂
I hope you like them as much as I do!
