For today’s prompt for Top Ten Tuesday, I will be sharing my list of Unforgettable Book Heroines.
Unsurprisingly, most of these heroines are in YA.
Top Ten Tuesday is hosted by The Broke and The Bookish
Top Ten Favorite Heroines From Books
1. Lela (Guards of the Shadowlands series)
Hello, this girl went to Hell to save her Best Friend. Went back to Hell to save the man she loves.
2. Lia (The Kiss of Deception)
I admire her bravery to take her life into her own hands.
3. Rachel (Life Interrupted)
She is like my soul sister.
4. Katniss (The Hunger Games)
I don’t need to elaborate, right?
5. Kate (Kate Daniel’s series)
She is probably the most BAD ASS heroine in all Urban Fantasy
6. Kat ( Held Against You)
I can’t put my finger on exactly WHY I love her, but I do.
7. Kate (Love Always, Kate)
Probably one of the bravest heroines in all contemporary novels.
9. Penryn (Penryn & the End of Days)
Another one of those where I say, Do I even need to elaborate?
10. Sydney (Bloodlines series)
She has the largest character growth, ever.

Lela & Penryn are SO badass! I’d add Rose from the VA series… Haven’t read Bloodlines yet so I wouldn’t know if Sydney is good. Great choices 🙂

Some great picks, as well as quite a few I hadn’t heard of and will have o go and check out. I love Katniss and Penryn.
Love Katniss, Penryn, and Sydney! They are all freaking awesome! I haven’t read any of the others on your list, but I have The Kiss of Deception sitting on my shelf waiting on me 🙂

I’ve only read the Kate Daniels series and watched The Hunger Games movies. They are definitely super bad-ass. Very handy with their respective weapons!

i LOVE KATNISS BECAUSE SHE’S SO STRONG.
MY TOP TEN TUESDAY
I’ve really got to check out Kiss of Deception! I keep hearing really good things and I love a good heroine who can stand up for herself!

I would have to say that my favorite heroine of all time is Aerin from The Hero and the Crown. Such a great book, and female protagonist.

Yay for Penryn! I really like her – she was on my list too. I also like Lia from The Kiss of Deception. Even if I thought the book could have been better, but she was a strong heroine.

Some great choices! I remember when I first started reading the Bloodlines series, a lot of people weren’t that crazy about Sydney. They compared her to Rose, and she’s just a completely different kind of person. She did grow and change a lot and I loved that. I’m about to start The Ruby Circle 🙂

I can’t wait to read The Kiss of Deception! I’m so excited to see it on so many lists.
Great picks, lots of awesome heroines! I can’t believe I forgot to include Katniss on my list!!!! >.<

Katniss is my favorite heroine! Lia almost made my list too, but I kept it to just 10.

Oh I came SO close to putting Sydney and changed my mind last minute! I was going to put her for character growth too. Yay for Lela! Katniss is always awesome. 🙂 I have to read most of the others, even though I’ve briefly met Kate. 🙂 Great list hun!

Penryn! Super badass. Love her. But terrified about that ending!
Sydney – agreed! Such amazing growth over the 6 books. I’m gonna miss her.
Lela is fantastic too. I love how strong she is, but I also love it when she finally shows her vulnerabilities.
Held Against You sounds good! Super angsty?

So many on here I need to read still! Sydney is so different than when we first saw her in bloodlines and it makes me so happy. 🙂

Ah, I do love Rachel. I mean, talk about a BA character. If only I weren’t an inch over five feet… maybe punching people would hold more weight:) Tripp is almost done, and I gotta say, even though it’s his story, I fell in love with Rachel and her strong I won’t back down attitude all over again. Much love. I adore Katniss, but I can’t decide if that’s because I adore Jennifer Lawrence so much:) xoxo

Yes, Sydney! I love seeing her on this list. And Katniss, obviously. I’ll have to check out the rest of these!
