I'll have to use it again sometime. Sorry I haven't been around this weekend. Long, holiday weekends are not holidays for those who work at home! All of a sudden, we have all these people around who want to be fed and go places and aaarrrggghhh!!! Not that I don't love them... Wow–this was a great topic! I’ll have to use it again sometime.

I still re-read L.M. Montgomery`s books every chance I get. I also loved Aliena from Pillars of the Earth and Julia Bechtel and Poppy Blake from two of Barbara Delinsky`s books. For an enjoyable escapist read I like Stephanie Plum in Janet Evanovich`s books... she has flaws and doesn`t excuse them; in fact, she capitalizes on them. By all means, give the characters flaws, it makes them more believable, more like us. Like Quilt Lady (I`m a quilter too, BTW) in the real world no one is perfect!

I always loved Lois Lane years ago to. I think it was because she was a women kind of living in a mans world. You were talking about her imperfections but to me that is what makes the hero or heroine. In the real world no one is perfect so I don't think they should be perfect in the fiction world either.

My brother introduced me to comic books as kid and Wonder Woman has always been a favorite. There was something fascinating about a beautiful Amazon who joins the Justice League to fight crime.

And Harry Potter fans thought they had a long wait between books. LOL! Thanks for the update Catslady, I’ll have to check out the books I missed. Laura T said: "It’s so nice when there is a heroine I would love to be friends with." Me too, most of the time I prefer the kind of heroine I’d like to think I would choose for a friend. Kristan Higgins ~ Big CONGRATS! ~ on your RITA win for CATCH OF THE DAY!!! And I loved the “Trash Talking Romance Novelists” video. I’ve watched it several times—I almost know it by heart—it’s so funny! I go around the house imitating you saying… “You talkin’ to me… Sus-an you talkin’ to me??? … Bring it on baby. Woof-woof! It drives my sister Susan crazy. ;-) catslady “Said: Irene, there are 5 Earth’s Children books with one more to go – this has to be the longest to wait for series ever but worth the wait!”

I read GWTW when I was 13 and believed until the very last page that Scarlett and Rhett would get their happily ever after. Spent much of my adolescence imagining it, in fact. I've read that book 14 times in all, and I think Rhett is one of the best, truest, most fascinating characters ever. Sigh. The character I just can’t get over is Rhett Butler.

What a fun blog! I have to say that a lot of my favorite heroines are from modern romance novels. Jane Austen's, of course, and There is this one book I can never get out of my mind... Daisy, from Daisy Fay and the Miracle Man by Fannie Flagg. There are too many to name, but in a lot of the romance novels I read now, including the Jaunty Quills authors and of course Victoria Alexander, where I want to stand up and cheer for their heroines. It's so nice when there is a heroine I would love to be friends with. ~Laura T Hi!

When I was 9-years-old, a librarian recommeded those books for me and oh boy,how I was stucked with Anne´s friend and family. After 30 years, I still re-read all Anne-books once a year. Later on Jane Eyre and Mr Rochester, Elizabeth Bennet and Mr Darcy as well as Margaret Hale and Mr Thornton have found their way to my heart; forever it seems... Ladies,

I'd also add Meg Wallace from Madeleine L'Engle's Wrinkle in Time books. Like those above, Anne of Green Gables, Laura Ingalls WIlder, and Nancy Drew have stuck with me.
