eBook : 8
\nPaperback : 1
\nTrade Paperback : 1

It was mostly fantasy this month.<\/p>\n

Fantasy : 8
\nHistory : 2
\nAnthology : 1
\nMystery : 1
\nYA : 1<\/p>\n

As for the gender of authors I read…<\/p>\n

Male : 5
\nFemale : 2<\/p>\n

But I’ll be honest, I really thought Elliot James was a woman working under a male pseudonym.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
