What, to you, forms the essence of a true heroine?

Can't say. I'm not very good at tracking or keeping track of the characters in the books I read.


Five of your favorite historical novels?
Gone with the Wind
Centennial
Outlander
There are others whose names I can't remember

Johnny Tremain, Little Dorrit, The Singing Tree, Miss Spitfire, Anne of Greene Gables
Out of those five books who is your favorite character and why?
Believe it or not I have not read any of these.

If you were to plan out your dream vacation, where would you travel to - and what would you plan to do there?
My dream vacation would like be an extended road trip with no plan just seeing where I ended up.

What is your favorite time period and culture to read about?Tough to say. If the story is written well it doesn't matter all that much.

You have been invited to perform at the local charity concert. Singing, comedy, recitation - what is your act comprised of?
Oh my.... whatever it was people would laugh so I'd probably try to plan it that way.

If you were to attend a party where each guest was to portray a heroine of literature, who would you select to represent?
I have no idea.

Chocloate is best served with peanut butter.

Favorite author(s)?
Hard to say. I enjoy several.

As a small, imaginative, red-haired damsel might query; would you rather be divinely beautiful, dazzlingly clever, or angelically good? Why?
