I loved Nancy Drew as a kid and I am abso-fascinated by Egyptology after reading the Amelia Peabody series.<br /><br />I don't mind a strong heroine as long as her strength is believable whether its wit, courage, or just a will to survive. But I don't like it when its historical fiction and someone drops a 21st century thinker in acting completely unlike her 19th century counterparts calling it strong.<br /><br />Thanks for the giveaway opportunity.Sophia Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07909417504496472472noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9058196044338872874.post-91860929586525023972012-02-01T18:31:12.849-05:002012-02-01T18:31:12.849-05:00I enjoy reading about strong heroines.

I love to see a heroine fight for what she wants.<br /><br />I think strong women are more interesting too, Kswederski. Definitely to write about!<br /><br />Don't worry, Diane! Cecily is a strong heroine, but she has her vulnerable moments. And Lucas isn't one to just let her suffer.<br /><br />LOL, Karla, I think you're right about the cover.
