Connecting dudes with books

Sharing the magic of books

Facts:

  • Only 14% of young-adult authors are male, and female authors are more inclined to write books with appeal to girls.
  • Boys have more difficulty choosing books than girls, and adults nudging book suggestions at them tend to be female (mothers, teachers, librarians and teacher-librarians). So, hopefully, this site simply offers another tool to those influencers – and to teen readers themselves.
  • The vast majority of book reviewers and teacher-librarians are female, who may be unaware of a bias toward books that appeal to females.
  • Boys read less than girls. Could that be due partly to the difficulty in finding books that appeal to them? If so, maybe this website can help.
  • Yes, many girls like “boy books” too. And for anyone who identifies as neither boy nor girl: of course, you’re welcome here. So, book lovers of all types, enjoy the site for whatever inspiration and information you may find.
