This great meme by The Broke and The Bookish gives us topics each week to make list of some of our top ten books and book related things. This week its our Top Ten Favourite Kick-Ass Heroines.
1. Macey MacHenry from The Gallagher Girls Series by Ally Carter
I think Macey is judges a bit at the start of this series but she definatly proves her worth as a great spy.
2. Katniss Everdeen from The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins
This is going to be a popular pick this week but who doesn’t think she is a hero!
3. Rachel from Blood Ties by Sophie McKenzie
Rachel puts everyone before herself in some mad situations I would love to think I had her stregnth
4. Lauren from Girl, Missing by Sophie McKenzie
Sophie McKenzie likes to put her characters through a lot so they always seem heroic
5. Harmony from Bumped by Megan McCafferty
It takes a lot to make the decisions Harmony has to make in this series and particularly when you realise maybe you are wrong.
6. Roxy from Roxy’s Baby by Catherine MacPhail
Roxy’s Baby is the first book I read where I felt the main character was a heroine, maybe not by fighting wars but by being mentally strong.
7. V for Vegan, Virgin, Valentine by Carolyn Mackler
It’s difficult for anyone when someone in your family is loved so much but V in the end is the one that is a true friend.
8. & 9. Maddie and Queenie from Code Name Verity by Elizabeth Wein
These two characters I think show how during the war women showed that actually we can more than just be housewives.Â
10. Jade Leigh from Oh My Goth by Gena Showalter
Jade’s world becomes a nightmare but she learns from that, we could all take something from her.Â
Books For Breakfast 
Katniss, of course, she’s such a great character 😀
My TTT
*GIVEAWAY*
I think Katniss will be a popular choice today 🙂
A big yes to Maddie and Queenie from Code Name Verity! They are heroines!
J’adore Happy Endings
They are, both for women and country 🙂
Many books here I need to read but I definitely agree with Katniss. And any of the girls from the Gallagher Girls. They’d nearly all make fantastic spies!
I agree would be good if the school was real lol
I haven’t read many of these. I agree that Katniss is awesome (she’s not on my list though). What touches me most is the sacrifices she makes for her family.
I hadn’t thought of Harmony as a hero before, but you’re right. She has something special.
It would be hard to do some of the things she did,some times being a hero is just about dealing with what life throws at you. Thanks
Nice list!
Thanks 🙂 I enjoyed yours too
I think it’s interesting that you picked Macey over Cammie (my pick). And YAY for Maddie and Queenie! “Fly the plane, Maddie.” *bawls*

That’s cool that we have so much in common! I’ve been buying books since I’ve started my blog, but I’ve been reading them as I go, so that’s an improvement! I can’t wait til I make a dent in mine. Good luck! I’ll be following. Emilys should stick together.
