[Heili]

Hello everyone!!

I'm Heili and my favourite books are The Truth About Forever by Sarah Dessen, pretty much anything by Cassandra Clare, and Juliet by Anne Fortier. My favourite heroine would currently have to be June Iparis from the the Legend trilogy by Marie Lu. She is soooo badass!! My favourite genre... primarily romance but I love Sci-Fi, fantasy, and historical fiction (with romance in it ;)

[Amber]

Hey Everyone!

I'm Amber, I absolutely love YA books. I feel like YA Authors really push the envelopes with their stories! My favorite books are , , and . My favorite heroine is Katniss. And my favorite genre is probably science fiction, romance and adventure and of course dystopian :).

[Rachel]

Hi!
I'm Rachel and am incurably hooked on YA fantasy/science fiction books. I am currently finishing the Graceling series with Bitterblue, and love all three strong heroines. I am also reading the Woodcutter Sisters series by Alethea Kontis--these are retellings of fairy tales with very strong women as the leads. Loved Chime by Franny Billinglsley and Cate Tiernan's Immortal Beloved trilogy! If anyone else loves fairy tale retellings, try Red Riding Hood by Sarah Blakley-Cartwright. I havea shelf full of more books I can't wait to read: Of Poseidon series, Grave Mercy series, Eon/Eona, and Shadow and Bone. Basically, I love young women/women who can kick butt!

[Janie]

Hi all,
My name is Janie and I am currently reading Laurie Halse Anderson's "The Impossible Knife of Memory." I love her female characters in all her books, though I especially love this book. I am also an author, and my first book (coming out in April) has a strong young woman and well, I love her! If you are interested, you can check out "Death Spiral, A Faith Flores Science Mystery." I guess if I had a favorite genre it would be realistic fiction. I am excited to be part of this group?

[Henderson]

Hello everyone,

I'm Henderson and my favorite YA books are The Hunger Games Series. Yes, I love Katniss too. It was great to have a heroine who saved herself. Loved what the group stands for and look forward to hearing about your recommended reads.

[Jay]

um, howdy.
My name is Jay, and I'm kinda new to Ya Heroines. I'm currently writing a book, but have not uploaded it onto Goodreads. Idk if I should... anyway, I've been a hardcore fangirl since I was eight, love many, many, books and movies and TV shows. I'm starting my own YouTube channel soon, called "Ninjalyn". When it's up, I will let you know. I love dogs but wildlife scares me very easily. I aim to be a fictional writer when I grow up and maybe a part time singer and pianist.
I'm a hopeless loser but idec.
Thanks for reading.
~Jay.

[Efrat]

Here is a one of a kind heroine for you :)))
I would like to share with you my new novel HER PROMISED ROAD, inspired by the chronicles of Golda Meir’s early life and her mission to the United States in the 1930's. It depicts the challenges, deliberations and passionate soul searching of a young woman in her early thirties - her natural desire to be loved, an obligation to family, and the urgency of the mission ahead; while questioning if her promised road is worthy of the heavy cost to her personal life… and heart.

[Rosaline]

Hi guys! I'm Rosaline but everyone calls me Rose. I love books with strong, funny and independent heroines. (Duh!). :D I’ve had some bad luck with heroines lately. So much stupidity and boringness (I'm not sure if that's a word!) going on! So I’m glad I’ve found this group. :)
I mostly read YA. I like fantasy, science fiction, dystopia, mystery, adventure, and contemporary. There’s more, I’m sure!!!!
Some of my favorite books are , , , and all the Harry Potter books. <3
My absolute favorite heroines are Rose from Vampire Academy and Penryn from Angelfall. Those girls can kick butt!
And umm… yeah! :):)

[Rachel]

Hi, My name is Rachel and I adore books with strong female leads -especially if they are sarcastic (a la Meg Cabot). The one thing I do prefer is for my protagonists to struggle -I am not a huge fan of girls that are already skilled warriors/fighters/assassins/etc. because I want to feel that I can relate to them (Tamora Pierce does an excellent job of this with Kel, Daine, & Alanna in some of my favorite series). That said, I also have a weakness for a good love-hate relationship or hot evil bad guy that the protagonist is constantly fighting her attraction to (Shatter Me series, or even Mortal Instruments) but I can like the good guys as well (Hunger Games, I adored Peeta!). I'm a published author and I pretty much write characters I love to read about so my first series: is centered around a kick butt girl who is competing in fighting magic against 100 others including a hot but arrogant prince she can't stand (and is secretly attracted to), but just because I write doesn't mean I am not looking for recommendations so yea, that's me.

[Lauren]

Hi im Lauren

I love books with powerful leading ladies

[Nectaria]

Hi everyone! I'm Nectaria and I have the tendency to fall in love with fictional characters. Harry Potter is what got me into reading, so it was my first fandom! I never looked back and I love exploring the YA Genre and some middle grade.

Hi everyone.

I'm Annabeth and I love to read YA. My favorites are always ones with leading ladies, which is what I always mention in my reviews. I love Hunger Games, Divergent, and Grave Mercy series.

Vengeance Road So this book is not sci-fii, but if you want a female main character who is bad-ass, this is the book for you. I still haven't decided if I like Kate, but I will not forget her.

[Mariana]

Hi. I'm Mariana and I love reading anything and everything. I have a special place in my in my heart for YA especially those with strong female protagonists. I don't have a favorite book because it's to hard to chose just one, but i do have a huge crush on meg cabot's writing style. I also have a bad habit of falling in love with fictional characters. I've been a goodreads member for a long time, but I never had the courage to post anything. This is my first ever post and hopefully not the last one.
Thx for reading
~Mari

[Kristi]

Hi, my name is Kristi, and I love strong heroines. My all-time favorite YA books are the Harper Hall Trilogy, by Anne McCaffrey. I thought Menolly made a great heroine. I love YA Fantasy - it is one of the genres I cut my reading teeth on, and inspired me to become a writer.

Yes, I am well aged-out of the YA category...by many decades...but I still love to read and have fond memories of the books I read as a child.

[Julez]

My favorite genres are YA and fantasy

Ben

[Sabha]

I'm Sabha and I love to read! Some of my favorite books are the Lux series by Jennifer Armentrout, the Mara Dyer trilogy, and every book by Sarah Dessen!

[Unknown poet (Anna)]

Hi I'm Anna, I love to read and write (I have some of my writing on goodreads) I do not have a favorite book since other books would get jealous, but I have read Rules, Out of My Mind, A Little Princess, and See you at Harry's, at least 10 times each. I never buy a book before I've read it, but I have a collection of warrior cat books. I have a lot of odd allergies, including cats, dogs, trees, and grasses which is extremely ironic because I love animals and nature. I am fluent in Spanish as well as English, and am learning French very slowly, as well as actively learning sign language. My favorite genere is fantasy because it's not the real world, though I like to read books that are realistic too. I play the clarinet (but not at school since I can't really march with my allergies). My biggest inspiration for writing poetry is my sister, and the bullying I went through and still am going through. When I go to college I want to double major in biology/zoology and Spanish. My dream job would be working in South America with the effort to help the environment (if that's even really a job). I enjoy spending my time (when I'm not reading, writing, or playing my clarinet) finger knitting, singing slightly off key (my sister says I'm super off key) trying to learn to play the piano, running, sleeping and geeking out about Star Wars. I'm a Girl Scout, and active member of my church youth group. If I'm not doing anything above, I'll be silently planning my take over of the world.

[Tashfa]

Hi everybody! My name is Tashfa and i was not always a book reader but my friend hook me with a book 2 years ago and believe me now i have an addiction of books which is not a bad thing. I prefer books over movies or tv series. My favourite heroines are many but Olivia from Before Jamaica Lane is my favourite of them all and i have very specific genre i like suspense, romance, mafia type books and some dark books. About favourite authors. I like all the authors i can't rank them honestly cause in my opinion it is not fair to them. You can check my read shelves to know which author's books i have read so far. And without being embarrassed i can say i have read Before Jamaica Lane 5 to 6 times it was before the reread option was introduce on goodreads 😉
