I didn't really give it much thought, but my husband said I got the inner gears turning right. I actually prefer writing teen boys than girls.Wendyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00299146463845558413noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1907038839233731801.post-74279210007643309702014-02-25T19:48:58.248-06:002014-02-25T19:48:58.248-06:00Of my four novels, three have male POV.

It was just that's what the stories called for. It's weird because I tend to gravitate to a female voice when I'm reading. Saint Iggy is on my to read list.

I wonder if this is because I have two brothers and always liked sports, so I hung around a lot of guys. My boyfriend in high school had a pack of guys, so I spent a couple years with them. Wish more high school boys liked to read...<br /><br />My faves: most of the novels by John Green and Jay Asher, as well as Stephen King, which usually feature male POVs.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08877620312074002173noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1907038839233731801.post-18197632897201935342014-02-25T11:35:37.278-06:002014-02-25T11:35:37.278-06:00Looks like a great list!

Two that come to mind off the time of my head are Pushing the Limits by Katie McGarry and the Perfect Chemistry series by Simone Elkeles.
