I just finished a romance novel recommended by my sister. It was cute. But just when I was sure the heroine was about to do something for herself- really, she was freeing her own bonds, shattered a teapot to use the shards...and the hero bounds in a saves her from having to save herself. Blah. I think I need heroines to be someone I can look up to, imagine myself being so awesome in a situation. Simply not being an idiot is not enough. The fact that she didn't faint and scream and freak out was proof to everyone that she is such an amazing woman during her ordeal. Eh. It's true that I faint a lot, so anyone who doesn't faint is someone to look up to, but still. I don't faint from fear, just lack of bloodflow. Completely out of my control.

I would make an awful heroine: I feel faint if I don't eat enough, or I'm standing too long. I have flat feet so I can run much or jump from any height. I'm not good with snappy comebacks; I usually look hurt if someone insults me. I'm pretty much the girl that would need saving in an emergency and that makes me annoyed. So if I'm reading a novel, the girl has to be way cooler than me.

I'm good at organizing groups of people, making work fun, and music. Kinda Snow White wedding planner, but I'm not afraid of the dark, and I'd never take fruit from a stranger because I don't like fruit. But I love sleep, and I do like short guys...

Julia Quinn is the author, btw.
