Top Ten Tuesday is a meme hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl, featuring a different top 10 theme each week. This week’s topic is Favorite Heroines. This felt like a familiar topic to me, but it looks like it’s been many years since I put together a similar list, and by now I have plenty of new ones to highlight!
Here are ten of my favorites (hint: the first one will not be a surprise!):










- Claire Fraser – Outlander series by Diana Gabaldon
- Mercy Thompson – Mercy Thompson series by Patricia Briggs
- October Daye – October Daye series by Seanan McGuire
- Erin, Mac, Tiffany and KJ – Paper Girls graphic novels by Brian K. Vaughan
- Zinnia Gray – A Spindle Splintered by Alix E. Harrow
- Mika Moon – The Very Secret Society of Irregular Witches by Sangu Mandanna
- Marra – Nettle & Bone by T. Kingfisher
- Beatrice Clayborn – The Midnight Bargain by C. L. Polk
