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 think, in general, I tend to read more male authors than female. Sometimes this is on purpose, because I specifically like quite a few male authors. Other times it tends to be because the genre I'm reading is heavily authored by males.

The only exception for me seems to be YA lit (which I read a lot of in order to find works for my students to read), which, at least in the subgenres I choose, tends to be about 50/50 male/female authoring. :)
