A poll for the ladies on reading

Please only participate in this poll if you self-identify as having a female gender.
I know it's hard to remember what-all you've read recently, but please try.

UPDATE: for anthologies, please count them as the gender of the majority of the authors.

[Poll #1450250]

I can provide data all the way back to 2005, if you like.

I tend to get stuck on authors tho, so I'm not sure if this 2 month data is helpful. I read four books by Christopher Moore out of those 17 because I kept grabbing more from the library.

In looking at the last 2 montsh I can say that I tend to read more non-fiction by women than fiction, which is interesting.

(Actually, I just looked at the numbers for the whole year, and I'm at 23% women, 72% men, so I guess it was only a little off - I got 76% men for the last two months.)

Also, I counted Metatropolis as "men" since the majority of the contributors were men, not sure what the best way to do that was.
