Interestingly, the Top 10 does not include any women. What’s up with that? I counted how many female authors were suggested, and of a total of 100+ authors, 26 were female. However, none of the women mentioned became runaway favourites, as were our top three titles, and they didn’t grab many “votes.” Hmm.
