NOVELS WITH STRONG FEMALE CHARACTERS

Who doesn't love a book with a strong female character? This character doesn't have to be the main character in order to win you over, but she does need to have some "anti-damsel in distress" qualities. She should be someone that is a fully developed character; someone that can have her own thoughts and ideas, can solve problems, and can overcome obstacles. The books listed in this week's blog post all feature female characters that you'll wish to read more of and/or feel they can hold their own anywhere.
