If you can't tell its a bunch of books that have strong female characters. The blog I found it at said they wanted to make sure their daughters read these books before ever getting their hands on a copy of Twilight. I've read Twilight, I actually enjoyed reading them. But I definitely was smart enough to know that it was a fictional tale. Anyways, since I don't have daughter of my own, I want to read these books for myself. A lot of them I've actually read, but a lot I haven't. And I love reading....so I can't wait :)
Working hard I see :)
