RIME HEROINE CHALLENGE
Duration: 6 months– September 1st–February 28th
For this challenge read one or more books for each of the following types of Heroines. You set the pace/time and the amount of books of each type of heroine you wish to read. Have fun!
We also have the Hero Challenge going on at the We ♥ Susan Mallery group, Hosted by Jennifer who was kind enough to put together this Heroine Challenge also, so Join in for Both of them☺
Easy: 1 - 2 books for every types of hero.
Moderate: 3 - 4 books for every type of hero.
Difficult: 5+ books for every type of hero.
1.*Outsider/Rebel/Bluestocking Heroine: This heroine is tough, self-sufficient, self-thinking woman who will not conform just because others tell to her or because society dictates it. A person who wishes to control her is barking up the wrong tree.
2.*Wallflower Heroine: Plain looking an overlooked by most but an extraordinary type of woman that excels at everything but small talk. She needs someone who can look beyond the surface and see her inner beauty.
3.*Professional Heroine: The professional is sometimes mistaken as being a bitch for using her authority, but she knows how to handle people, and she will not be pushed around. She needs someone who is not intimidated by her brain or authority, and are able to give as well as they take.
4.*Rich Girl Heroine: Rich, smart, and a little spoiled, but has a good heart. The Rich Girl needs someone who will appreciate her for herself and not her money.
5.*Brainiac Heroine: This girl is smarter than your average bear and willing to use that to her advantage. She needs someone that will not be intimidated by her brain and can hold their own.
6.*Spinster Heroine: Thought to be too old to ever marry, but possesses hidden passion and is too smart to settle for anything less than she deserves. She needs someone that has it all.
7.Woman Warrior/Kick-Butt Heroine: Tough, self-sufficient, uncompromising and needs someone that will not change her and accepts her the way she is -faults & all.
8.*Minx/She-Devil Heroine: The Minx is mischievous, feisty, and self-thinking. Will give a person a run for their money and will be well worth it.
9.*Girl Next Door Heroine: She is pretty, smart, sweet, wholesome, but somewhat naïve. She will most likely fall for the boy next door.
10.*Paranormal Heroine: She is a strong, self-sufficient, and dangerous woman who will not put up with crap. She needs a person who can handle her and not be intimidated. The PH can be a witch, vampire, shape-shifter, etc.

RIME HEROINE CHALLENGE
Duration: 6 months– September 1st–February 28th
For this challenge read one or more books for each of the following types of Heroines. You set the pace/time and the amount of books of each type of heroine you wish to read. Have fun!
We also have the Hero Challenge going on at the We ♥ Susan Mallery group, Hosted by Jennifer who was kind enough to put together this Heroine Challenge also, so Join in for Both of them☺
Easy: 1 - 2 books for every types of hero.
Moderate: 3 - 4 books for every type of hero.
Difficult: 5+ books for every type of hero.
1.*Outsider/Rebel/Bluestocking Heroine: This heroine is tough, self-sufficient, self-thinking woman who will not conform just because others tell to her or because society dictates it. A person who wishes to control her is barking up the wrong tree.
2.*Wallflower Heroine: Plain looking an overlooked by most but an extraordinary type of woman that excels at everything but small talk. She needs someone who can look beyond the surface and see her inner beauty.
3.*Professional Heroine: The professional is sometimes mistaken as being a bitch for using her authority, but she knows how to handle people, and she will not be pushed around. She needs someone who is not intimidated by her brain or authority, and are able to give as well as they take.
4.*Rich Girl Heroine: Rich, smart, and a little spoiled, but has a good heart. The Rich Girl needs someone who will appreciate her for herself and not her money.
5.*Brainiac Heroine: This girl is smarter than your average bear and willing to use that to her advantage. She needs someone that will not be intimidated by her brain and can hold their own.
6.*Spinster Heroine: Thought to be too old to ever marry, but possesses hidden passion and is too smart to settle for anything less than she deserves. She needs someone that has it all.
7.Woman Warrior/Kick-Butt Heroine: Tough, self-sufficient, uncompromising and needs someone that will not change her and accepts her the way she is -faults & all.
8.*Minx/She-Devil Heroine: The Minx is mischievous, feisty, and self-thinking. Will give a person a run for their money and will be well worth it.
9.*Girl Next Door Heroine: She is pretty, smart, sweet, wholesome, but somewhat naïve. She will most likely fall for the boy next door.
10.*Paranormal Heroine: She is a strong, self-sufficient, and dangerous woman who will not put up with crap. She needs a person who can handle her and not be intimidated. The PH can be a witch, vampire, shape-shifter, etc.

RIME HEROINE CHALLENGE
Duration: 6 months– September 1st–February 28th
For this challenge read one or more books for each of the following types of Heroines. You set the pace/time and the amount of books of each type of heroine you wish to read. Have fun!
We also have the Hero Challenge going on at the We ♥ Susan Mallery group, Hosted by Jennifer who was kind enough to put together this Heroine Challenge also, so Join in for Both of them☺
Easy: 1 - 2 books for every types of hero.
Moderate: 3 - 4 books for every type of hero.
Difficult: 5+ books for every type of hero.
1.*Outsider/Rebel/Bluestocking Heroine: This heroine is tough, self-sufficient, self-thinking woman who will not conform just because others tell to her or because society dictates it. A person who wishes to control her is barking up the wrong tree.
2.*Wallflower Heroine: Plain looking an overlooked by most but an extraordinary type of woman that excels at everything but small talk. She needs someone who can look beyond the surface and see her inner beauty.
3.*Professional Heroine: The professional is sometimes mistaken as being a bitch for using her authority, but she knows how to handle people, and she will not be pushed around. She needs someone who is not intimidated by her brain or authority, and are able to give as well as they take.
4.*Rich Girl Heroine: Rich, smart, and a little spoiled, but has a good heart. The Rich Girl needs someone who will appreciate her for herself and not her money.
5.*Brainiac Heroine: This girl is smarter than your average bear and willing to use that to her advantage. She needs someone that will not be intimidated by her brain and can hold their own.
6.*Spinster Heroine: Thought to be too old to ever marry, but possesses hidden passion and is too smart to settle for anything less than she deserves. She needs someone that has it all.
7.Woman Warrior/Kick-Butt Heroine: Tough, self-sufficient, uncompromising and needs someone that will not change her and accepts her the way she is -faults & all.
8.*Minx/She-Devil Heroine: The Minx is mischievous, feisty, and self-thinking. Will give a person a run for their money and will be well worth it.
9.*Girl Next Door Heroine: She is pretty, smart, sweet, wholesome, but somewhat naïve. She will most likely fall for the boy next door.
10.*Paranormal Heroine: She is a strong, self-sufficient, and dangerous woman who will not put up with crap. She needs a person who can handle her and not be intimidated. The PH can be a witch, vampire, shape-shifter, etc.
