Drum Roll: And the Award for Favorite Fictional Female Is?

With this post today, I am supposed to introduce you to my 

favorite fictional female – What does she look like? Is there an actress that you think of when you think of the character? Is she tough or timid? You could do a mock interview with your character, or create a bio/resume for her.


My favorite all time female character comes from my favorite all-  time novel:  Francie Nolan from A Tree Grows In Brooklyn.

Francie is beautiful and intellectual. She is only 11 when the book begins. The book delves into the impact of poverty, alcoholism, and education on an impoverished famly. Despite her background,  Francie is able to thrive and grows into a beautiful young woman.

Here are some of my favorite quotes from the book:

      

“From that time on, the world was hers for the reading. She would never be lonely again, never miss the lack of intimate friends. Books became her friends and there was one for every mood. There was poetry for quiet companionship. There was adventure when she tired of quiet hours. There would be love stories when she came into adolescence and when she wanted to feel a closeness to someone she could read a biography. On that day when she first knew she could read, she made a vow to read one book a day as long as she lived.”

In the Page 99 test, participants will turn to page 99 of whatever their reading and give us a brief summary. From there everyone will weigh in on if they would continue the read based on that summary alone!

Don't Go
Page 99:  

Dr. Mike Scanlon is at the funeral for his wife. He has come home for a bereavement visit to bury his wife.  All he has his little infant daughter, Emily.  He wants to hold her during the funeral so he gets her from his late wife’s sister Danielle.  As he is walking down the middle aisle, suddenly Emily decides to jump out her fathers arms, and she plummets to the floor. The church erupts in confusion and Danielle’s husband runs to catch Emily before her head cracks on the hard marble floor! Mike shouts in horror, “NO!”

What books are you reading now and who are your all time favorite female characters? Join the fun of the reading challenge which continues through Sunday!
