Booking Through Thursday

A weekly meme about (mostly) books and reading.

Heroine February 28, 2008

Who is your favorite female lead character? And why? (And yes, of course, you can name more than one . . . I always have trouble narrowing down these things to one name, why should I force you to?)


Don’t forget to leave a link to your actual response (so people don’t have to go searching for it) in the comments—or if you prefer, leave your answers in the comments themselves!

    I’m more a plot person than a character person, but one female lead really, really stood out among all others. Who? You’ll have to visit my blog to find out =)
