Time for another look at what Goodreads recommends to me based on what I've read. In this installment, we look at my "Heroines" shelf recommendations.

I sort books into "heroines" if the main character is female or there's a equally important female lead. I don't if there just happens to be a woman on the hero team. As you'll see, a lot of these were shoujo manga.
