The sooner this fuss over gender stops the better. The Big 5 are crying quite loud at the moment over things like gender and race and diversity and may well have some sort of push on. I don't know. But if featured books are being featured because of gender or race than that's wrong, but then again I don't have to buy them just because they are featured. I don't give a damn about an author's gender or for that matter their race or background. I don't give a damn about whether someone writing about a particular culture or group is from that culture or group. I just want something great to read.
