When I find a likeable, badass, female character in a book, it is very refreshing. Here is a list of my favorite lit(erary) bitches.
Top 10 Baddest Lit Bitches
Author: Lit Bitch
The Walled City
I loved almost everything about The Walled City by Ryan Graudin. The story was engaging, and it was difficult to put the book down.
The D.U.F.F.
It has a dumb title, but it's a good book.
The Grisha Trilogy
Although I was not impressed with Mal or Alina, I still recommend The Grisha Trilogy. If Zoya and Nikolai were the main characters, the trilogy would have been flawless.
Me and Earl and the Dying Girl
Greg’s mom makes him visit a girl named Rachel, because she was diagnosed with leukemia. I realize this sounds like a sad book, and it is. However, it is also a funny book, so you should read it.
Classic Rock Stories: The Stories Behind the Greatest Songs of All Time
You do not need to be good at playing music to appreciate it. In Classic Rock Stories: The Stories Behind the Greatest Songs of All Time by Tim Morse the stories about the songs are from the artists, themselves.
Station Eleven
Station Eleven by Emily St. John Mandel is a post-apocalyptic novel. The world ends because of a disease called the Georgia Flu.
The Pigman
A group of kids prank call random people, whose names are listed in an ancient device known as a “phonebook”; they try to keep people on the line for as long as possible. Lorraine, secretly peeking at the names, calls an old dude named Angelo Pignati. Lorraine and John decide to meet Mr. Pignati, with whom they develop a friendship.
True Grit
The main character is a fourteen-year-old girl named Mattie Ross. Mattie is a badass. She aims to avenge her father’s death.
The Sixth Extinction
Kolbert claims that humanity is changing the environment to such an extent that there will be a man-made mass extinction, similar in severity to the one which killed the dinosaurs.
