*exhales* (some of the above are YA, though why that should matter, IDEK)
I really wasn't trying to imply anything, though. Just that this year I have been reading A LOT of books with female protagonists, and that most of the books on my to-read list are from women's perspectives, as well.
Hm. Maybe I was trying to imply something, after all. Maybe I just haven't been coming across the right books, but anyone else notice the lack of male protagonists in Y!A fiction lately?
