Jon, Jon, Jon... Are there remedial math courses available in your area? The libraries are not catering to women per se. They are catering to their customers and getting the books that their customers want to read.

I went back through the 108 new books (it gave me something to do while waiting for Sigil compiles to complete). The average wait time is slightly higher for the romance genre with mystery & SF/F coming in at 13 weeks. Horror is down to 10 weeks. Oddly, the authors you've heard of are likely to be the ones with the greater than 6 months times (Stephen King in horror for example).
