Isabelle Lightwood is my badass queen

All women from the Lunar Chronicles !

I think Tessa from The Infernal Devices trilogy is such a strong female character🌸

Rose Hathaway from Vampire Academy, Isabelle Lightwood from TMI and obvs Hermoine xxx

I'm reading six of crows at the moment! I think Nina is great too but Inej is my favourite 😊

From now on I'm not going to look for a man for Valentine's Day, I'm going to look for a publisher :)

Natasha from The Sun Is Also A Star. Loved her so so much. She was so relatable in her realness but with her background and determination you can see how strong she is.

I completely agree with you for Annabeth!! She's my absolute favorite female character because of how strong she is (and also because she kicks ass)

Watching this and colouring at the same time

The throne of glass is one of my favorite books. Even though I am a guy, I love to read and see empowered women. keep up the good work. I love your channel!

the leads in illuminae and gemina are both kickass and are strong girls not strong despite being girls!!

great video! Some of my favourite female characters just off the top of my head are: Mare Barrow from the Red Queen series. I'm currently reading King's Cage and I love it. I also love Rose Hathaway, Lissa Dragomir from Vampire Academy series, Bella Swan from the Twilight Saga. I know there are more, but those are the only ones I can think of right now.

I love this! Even though I only read one of these books it makes me excited to read the other books one day. Also, Oh My god I love Annabeth!!!!! Also everyone else from those books. Please do other themed recommended books, I feel like I know more about books, such as Code Name Verity, because you explain it a bit more when pinpointing on a certain topic in the book, then in a regular review.

Your recommended reads videos are my favourite!I always find a new book to add to my list

No ones gonna mention Feyre in ACOMAF and Mor and Amren and Nesta.

june from legend made me feel like an empowered woman. i'm not even female wth

*ALL FEMALE CHARACTERS IN EVERY SARAH J MAAS BOOKS* 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Yay, another recommended reads! I think I've watched every one of these, I just love these so much! Good work

I think June Iparis from Legend by Marie Lu is also a great female character.

Nina is amazing, but Inej is my absolute favourite! :) Great video! ♥

I love Annabeth and I’m sooo glad you included her in this list!!

Hailey omg, you're almost at 100K!! That's crazy :D x

OMG BEAUTY QUEENS YESS!!!! I never would have thought i'd love a satire so much. It wasn't perfect (off) but it made me think like no other book has before, and has always stayed with me! When you mentioned it i literally screamed! Perfect choice Hailey :)

I also love Feyre from ACOTAR and ACOMAF because even though she went trough a really bad time, she found (with some help) a way to come back to light 😍

Code Name Verity has been on my TBR for the longest time, definitely need to pick it up now!

Hailey I love that you make a point to recommend all different kinds of books to your audience! You always mention your school, or the classes you're taking in your videos, and I'm wondering what school you go to, and what program you're in?

I read Code Name Verity, because of you and I LOVED it. Verity became one of my all-time favorite characters! Now I guess I'll have even more books in my TBR from this video! :) I just love reading about strong women. My other favorite is Jo Montfort from These Shallow Graves - she is just awesome. :)

Such a great and inspiring Video! :) I really want to read Six of Crows soon!!

You are so pretty! I love how you do your eyebrows!

Feyre from ACOTAR is such a strong female characters, one of my favourite of all time, if not my no.1 favourite!

yes! I waited for this! Amazing video hailey :)

Books and feminism, two of my favourite things!

I LOVE your videos! You give such good books recommendations, and you inspire me! Love your channel!! ❤️❤️

my favourite strong female characters ever are: - CAT BARAHAL in THE SPIRITWALKER TRILOGY by KATE ELLIOTT (Cat's cousin Bee is also a super strong female character!) - EVERY LEAD CHARACTER in the HIS FAIR ASSASSIN books by Robin LaFevers (do not be deceived by the floofy-blah titles and covers these books are EXCELLENT) - JACKY FABER in THE BLOODY JACK ADVENTURES by L. A. Meyer - THYMERA and ALISE in THE RAIN WILDS CHRONICLES by ROBIN HOBB - ISABEL in THE MEMOIRS OF LADY TRENT by MARIE BRENNAN - CIMORENE in THE ENCHANTED FOREST CHRONICLES by Patricia C. Wrede - SORAYA in THE FARSALA TRILOGY by HILARI BELL - FELICITY (also Gemma and Pippa and Ann but mainly Fee let's be real) in THE GEMMA DOYLE TRILOGY by LIBBA BRAY - EVERYONE in BEAUTY QUEENS by Libba Bray I apologize for all of the caps lock... I got really excited...

Jo march form the little woman series is my favorite, with Hermione of course! Xx

Really loved this video! Great recs :)

I love this video thank you so much for recommending these books 😊❤️

Lia from the kiss of deception is amazing! You read all my thoughts 💕 for me she's the definition of a strong independent woman 😁

WOMAN POWER! Throne of Glass novels were incredible. This was really helpful. Thank you. Btw... Your eyebrows are incredible.

I agree with Nina, but Inej is amazing! I like Inej slightly more. I'm a pretty big fan of Alice. Celaena, I agree and while I like her, I'm not head over heels. Manon is a different story, I love her and Lysandra is really growing on me. Nehemia may have been my favourite character in the series. Annabeth is amazing, I love her and she was probably my hero growing up. Verity, I have no words. Lia really annoyed me, I thought she got better by the last book but she annoyed me in book one. As for other strong female characters, I'll mention Hermione anyway and Luna Lovegood, Valkyrie from Skulduggery Pleasant, Thalia from Percy Jackson, Vin from Mistborn, Jean from Locke Lamora, Sabriel and Lirael from Abhorsen, Alyss and Evanlyn from Ranger's Apprentice, Evanjalin from Finnikin of the Rock, Violet (and Sunny even though she's a toddler) Baudelaire from a series of Unfortunate Events. I think I'll stop here.

I love this. I would have added Rose Hathaway (Vampire Academy) and Sydney Sage (Bloodlines) to the list as well :)

So glad you chose Annabeth!!!

This is such a great video idea

America Singer for me. She stands up for what she believes in even when the world is against her

Samirah from the Magnus Chase (series?) is one of my favorite female characters. She's a girl, she's discriminated against for her religion, her family isn't too supportive about her dad being Loki, and she still powers through and fights for what's right. I just love her so much

I love your shirt!

Cassiopeia "Cassie" Sullivan from the Fifth Wave series is definitely an awesome, strong, all around badass (yet relatable!) character. If you haven't read the series, definitely do so.

Great topic for a video!!

this was what I was looking for for a long time thank youu

well mine are probably: - ARYAAAA STARK THAT GIRL IS BADASS AND MY FAVORITE GOT/ASOIAF CHARACTER - Izzy Lightwood & emma carstairs of course - hermione granger & ginny weasley - of course Katniss Everdeen - Cleo from falling kingdoms (maybe not that strong in the physical form but damn she is never afraid to speak her own mind and has her own agendas and in my opinion she is just badass) - Rose hathaway like I loveeee her sooo much - Annabeth Chase cause girl got some brains and I wouldn't pick a fight with her or otherwise I will be judo flipped - paige mahoney from the bone season (like girl hot some nerves and badass kickass skills. Would absolutely NOT mess with her) - Blue Sargent (noy my favorite book series everr but I do really like the characters and i just love that jane can be a raging feminist)

i love your channel ♡ one of the best booktuber

I strongly recommend the Little Women books because not only are they classics, they're also a great example of strong women with unique personalities and strengths. I think these books are also incredibly interesting because the characters were so radical for their time and show the facets of early feminism. I also love that they are strong women without being physically strong or aggressive, since it's sometimes hard for me to relate to the warrior trope.

A strong female character that I love is Wyatt in Insignia. I love how she is geeky and smart and uses technology and is just an overall badass!

I love your videos so much x

Just got done reading Rise of Fire by Sophie Jordan and Luna was awesome! Loved her!:)

Aelin/Celaena, June, Mare✨ I feel attached to all these like literally Chefs kiss ✨✨ Please give some books refs like TOG

Hailey, your video is great ! Please could you do a video on reacting to the movie trailer of Everything Everything by Nicola Yoon!!!!

love your vids Hailey💓 I don't know which genre it is, but could you make some Miss Peregrines Home for Peculiar Children triology recommendations? thanks 😀

I think the best female character I had ever read was Rachel Adams in the Defiance Trilogy by C.J. Redwine. She was such a great female role and her being so independent in a world run by men was SO inspiring and I just loved it.

The one thing that annoyed me about Annabeth was that she stereotypically fit the role of smart Athena kid. If she was an Ares kid trying to break that stereotype, that would be a bit cooler. Also, she isn't that independent all the time. When Percy went missing, she just moped around and spent hundreds of dollars trying to find him. She's great otherwise, but that one moment irritated me.

I knew Celena was coming haha i love strong and clever female characters!!!

Cyra Noavek from Carve the Mark is my favorite female lead of any book and she is the strongest female Veronica Roth has written and I love it!

I love Isabelle lightwood

love your top

Love love love TOG series And ACOTAR 🥰

AHHH CALAENA IS AMAZINGGGG

One of my favourites has got to be Penryn from Angelfall by Susan Ee! She's bad-ass to the point of being able to put an Archangel in his place, with ninja-like fighting skills and a witty sense of humour.

June Iparis from the Legend trilogy is,in my opinion, a really strong and intelligent character and I honestly wish you included her in this video .

i love your dress or is that a shirt? its sooo pretty it suits you

Rose from Vampire Academy and Feyre from ACOMAF!!

My favorites are the majority of the female characters in The Help

SCARLETT LOST IN THE FIVE LANDS by Rajendra Sarilla is the one of the best fantasy books with powerful female characters and mind blowing war scenes. I read it on Kindle since paperback was not available outside India.

Kill the Queen by Jennifer Estep is such a good story filled with strong female characters! Y'all should read it!

Hi Hailey just wondering if you've ever read or plan to read one of the Gallagher girls series It's about a school for female spies in training and I feel that it's quite underrated in book tube :)

Hi Hailey... I really love ur videos but I wish if u could even write down the names of the books in the description box as sometimes it's difficult for me to understand ur accent

You really should read 'Bad Girls Don't Die' by Katie Alender! It's such a good book and I don't know if you'd like it, but you should really read it! I love it!

god i love caleana!!!!!! and all the female characters that you have mentioned. it's like u read my mind....

WHEN I HEARD ANNABETHS NAME I FUCKING SCREAMED LIKE YESYESYES MY BAE

Cinder from The Lunar Chronicles series by Marissa Meyer.

June Iparis Anne of green gables

One of my top female characters is Akira from Dragon of Legend: Destiny. This book is defiantly a hidden jem and I would highly recommend it!

Tris,Hermoine and Meira

Please read asking for it and only ever yours by Louise O'Neill and review them!!

Yas Annabeth

my favorite female from a book is Lina from Between Shades of gray

Where did you get your shirt? It's beautiful.

I like Hannah Donnolley from Gemina And Kady from Illuminae

Would Tris from the Divergent series be one? Sorry, she is the character that got me into reading. :)

do you guys have any recommendation that has an anti hero as the main characthers like Adeline from The young elites or Nathan from Half bad?

earliest I've been ever

yes I love Nina!

I knew the first one would be Celaeana!

Hey, I'm new in the fantasy genre and could really use some help here, what's the best way to read a fantasy series? read the whole trilogy in one go or read 2 or more series together

pls do a book review for BY YOUR SIDE by kasie west!

Celaena is definitely my all time favorite badass female! But yes Nina is my favorite in SoC too! I also want a spinoff so so badly!!! In fact SPOILER I NEED Leigh Bardugo to write about Nina going back to Ravka and helping to rebuild and discovering her new powers and helping to find a cure for parem and most importantly- falling in love with Nikolai. I ship that so hard.

Could you do male characters?

Besides from the obvious characters (Hermione, Celaena, etc) my favorite strong females are Marcia and Jenna from the Septimus-Heap-series. Jenna is quite arrogant, but she knows how to get shit done. And Marcia is also not someone to fuck with. I love these two, especially because they're both in a relationship, but their boyfriends are mostly side characters. I guess you can say that these two defined my childhood.

Where did you get your lights around your bookshelves???

i love Celeana but i hate Aelin even though theyre the same person lmao

Where did the signed book collection go?
