YES, BASK IN THE NUANCES OF HIS HEARTWRENCHING FACIAL EXPRESSIONS... *ahem*
Princess Academy! It's Newbery Honor-winning! And the sequel just came out or is about to come out! But like I said in the post, somehow I've never actually read her YA books. I actually had Book of a Thousand Days out once three years ago when I was in the hospital having my daughter, so I had to call and renew all my books, but they were like, "That one won't renew because someone has it on hold" and I was like "SERIOUSLY? That's the ONE I haven't read yet! Also it's the OLDEST book I have out so I thought I was SAFE! Also, I'M IN THE HOSPITAL HAVING A BABY!" Anyway... yeah, haven't gotten back to it yet.
Okay, action-packed female MCs. The first that comes to mind is Hunger Games, or is that too obvious? Is me even asking if you've read Hunger Games silly because the entire world has asked you that in passing by now? Hmm, what else. Okay, the next is a completely WEIRD choice to come to mind, but it's pretty off-the-wall satire-- and yes there is action-- but it's definitely not slow-paced at least: Beauty Queens by Libba Bray. I will have to think this through more when I'm not also trying to add up the library money for the evening at the same time.
