When you & your daughter get round to reading them, by the way, I'd recommend reading each set of series (the Tortal books, and the Circle of Magic ones) in order. It's not necessary, but you get to know the characters much better.<br />And thanks for the new list, I'll check them out.Charbookwyrmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06742831001535770969noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6763901908347718526.post-77859962204749293232012-04-16T21:53:16.755-07:002012-04-16T21:53:16.755-07:00Wow - thanks.

I may wait and read them for the first time with my daughter though. She really likes stories with strong heroines, but is still working through the TEEN Agent now and then wants to go back and finish the second Time Hunters book before starting a new author.<br /><br />Oh, I added a new list to the series for Middle Eastern Protagonists at http://bookeracy.blogspot.com/2012/04/ssf-stories-with-middle-eastern-leads.html in case you want more recommendations.Overprepared GMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11469475826510309004noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6763901908347718526.post-75693646315300466962012-04-15T15:52:47.496-07:002012-04-15T15:52:47.496-07:00These lists are brilliant, they've given me a ...These lists are brilliant, they've given me a big ol' list of books to get reading. I've actually just been having a conversation about this with some of my friends, as this is something that's bothered me for years in fantasy books. You should have a look at Tamora Pierce's novels, by the way - she's one of the few writers I can think of who (though most of her main characters are white) has a consistently diverse cast, especially in her later books.Charbookwyrmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06742831001535770969noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6763901908347718526.post-91268020348078055782012-04-08T06:14:10.532-07:002012-04-08T06:14:10.532-07:00Argh.
