Lyn-Excel...Maria- thanks for always stopping by :)<br /><br />Lyn-Excellent point. I assumed that Jumped was at least displayed, but I went back and re-read the post and it's not mentioned or shown. I would love to read the article, I say go for it!<br /> Also, I have seen some more hormone-driven stuff, I just haven't picked it up yet. I will try one, I suppose, for the sake of diversity but it doesn't really interest me. I would agree that there is a sort of 'herd-mentality' but I think authors are slowly coming out.<br /><br />Zetta- I'm also new so we'll experience this together! I also love finding great books about guys and oftentimes (in my opinion) they are funnier even while touching.<br /><br />Thanks Ebony!<br /><br />Ah Yuan-Definitely try and get it!MissAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11042352415616854651noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5255886452367019317.post-61656916643781430372009-11-17T12:15:59.637-06:002009-11-17T12:15:59.637-06:00I don't really have proof b/c I'm new to r...I don't really have proof b/c I'm new to reading books with male protags, but I fully believe Lyn when she says there's a "crud-pile" out there!

About the superior books for Male Monday, that's something I've been thinking about too. As a female reviewer and one with a serious reputation, you're probably not seeing the male-oriented crud-pile--the hormone-driven romps, for instance. <br /><br />But I also think there's more of a herd mentality in books with girl protagonists, that the real-life pressures for girls to conform socially are reflected in the publishing of books for girls. The article you cited about mean girls touched on this issue (and by the way, I was really surprised that no one included Rita Williams-Garcia's National Book Award-nominated Jumped on the list). What do other folks think? I'm considering writing an article on this subject.Lyn Miller-Lachmannhttp://web.mac.com/lynmlnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5255886452367019317.post-56009089073254170072009-11-16T22:42:10.961-06:002009-11-16T22:42:10.961-06:00Woah, I love the quote. <3 Will definitely try ...Woah, I love the quote. <3 Will definitely try checking it out.yuanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13106464795070487558noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5255886452367019317.post-49372934680847345852009-11-16T21:17:11.907-06:002009-11-16T21:17:11.907-06:00Hi MissAttitude,
