INTRODUCTIONS *newbies - over here* DON'T BE SHY!
Hi, I'm Katy!I love JKR (who doesn't?). My favourite recent read is Cinder by Marissa Meyer (hope I spelt that right!). It is not the kind of book I would normally pick up but I loved it - the twist on the classic fairy tale was cool and I loved picking up on all the fairy tale references. I also enjoyed Cinder as a heroine and I am really looking forward to reading Scarlet.
I also enjoyed The Hunger Games and the Unearthly trilogy. I enjoyed Delirium but am nervous to read Requiem - third books in the trilogy make me nervous!
Lastly I love Percy Jackson. Think I should stop now, could go on for ages :D

The group broadcast is the only way to message members of your group in bulk so everyone recieved the message whether or not they had introduced themselves. Sorry for the confussion.

Hi Everyone! My name is Carolyn Ward and I am the aspiring author of a Middle Grade mystery series. My favorite YA authors are Sarah Dessen and Deb Caletti, and when I was younger, Judy Blume was my idol. Probably read, Are You There God? It's Me, Margaret 100 times!
I love to read, write, cook, and travel. My favorite thing to do is write while looking at the ocean.
Hi Carolyn welcome to the group hope you have a great time in the group and we have an authors page fell free to share your book series there with everyone
Hey Carolyn. Sarah Dess and Deb Caletti are great authors. :)
Hi, I am Annemieke. Decided that this year I should finish reading this entire stack of books that I have not read yet, for this years reading challenge. Except I went against my own rule and already bought new books too. Ooops. Anyway I prefer books in the sci-fi and fantasy genres. Favorite books are: Perfume (Patrick Suskind), Golem's Eye (Jonathan Stroud), Cinder (Marissa Meyer) and some others~
Hello Annemieke we are reading Scarlet the sequel to Cinder this month. Please join in the discussion if you would like!
Nice to meet you all too. Ah thank you Jenny.
Please don't call me Anne though, I hate that haha.
An-nuh-mi-kuh
Your name is so awesome! Hahaha I wish I had a name like that :).
Sometimes it can surprise you how names actually sound. ie is a vowel combination in dutch.
Hi,I'm Leigha. I'm in my late twenties. I love to read, but have procrastinated this year and got a late start. I'm a house wife in the USA.
Books I've liked with strong female characters are:
Graceling, Fire, Divergent, Hunger Games, Sabriel . . . such great books. (I haven't read the others.)

Hi!!! I'm Lisa and I am a YA author and reader! My first novel, THE BINDING STONE just released yesterday (still so excited) and my heroine, Leela is a Djinni (genie). Anyhow, I love girls that don't just wait for the guy to swoop in and rescue them. I especially love paranormal and sci-fi.

Hi hi, I'm Amy and since having my baby girl I've had plenty of time to get back into reading while she breast feeds, I thought this group would be great for getting inspiration as to what books to read.
I grew up reading Jean M Auel's series and thought Ayla was one of the strongest characters I'd ever read and from there love reading books with female heroines.
welcome to the group Amy we are glad to have you
Hey everybody!I'm Krizza, and yes my username is, in fact, upside down and times two of my name. I love YA! And i love it more if it features a kickass heroine because i see myself in them. Lol =)
Hi everyone, I'm Legend, and I'm obsessed with reading:) LOL! Two of my all-time favorite series, among many others, are "The Infernal Devices" and "The Mortal Instruments" by Cassandra Clare. Of course, there are a million more that I absolutely love, but these are exceptionally incredible! I'm excited to be a part of YA Heroines, and I'm looking forward to chatting with other members. Thanks for having me on board!

I stumbled upon this group and am thrilled to find so many people like me who love a heroine who can kick a little butt. Reading these intros, I see my favorite heroines are yours too - I especially love Katniss from the Hunger Games, Puck from The Scorpio Races and Meg from A Wrinkle in Time. I'm looking forward to chatting with everyone about other books with strong female protags!
Kristen you have come to the right place have a great time and welcome to the group

Hi my name is Micah. I'm new to Good Reads and am excited about getting to know fellow YA Heroine lovers. :-)
A couple of my favorites are the Hunger Games series by Suzanne Collins and I'm currently reading the Graceling series by Kristin Cashore. Katsa is just amazing - by far my favorite heroine to date.
