This sounds like fun. I don’t know if I’ll have time to participate, but I’ll have to look through my BEA books and see. I feel like I have so many books to catch up on that focusing on a particular type feels extra challenging, even though I know it’s not really that big a deal.

Oh but, I am sure some of the books you got at BEA will totally count towards the challenge… You don’t have to “just” read those books. I certainly can’t do this myself.
But, Male Authors or Male POV’s both count.
So from the Books I remember from BEA:
Pushing the Limits – Male POV
Magisterium – Male Author
Eve & Adam – Male Author
…
I’ll think about more :))

Lovin’ the guys. I’ll have to make sure I get at least a COUPLE books that fit the criteria in…so many good ones out there (but also never enough!). A little disappointed that you crossed out the “revue”. Guess I’ll have to go watch Magic Mike to get my all-male revue in!

Oh, this sounds like a lot of fun!!!
I guess I should have waited a few more weeks to read “Execution”. Do I have to have read the book in July or is it ok to just post the review in July? I’m still working on writing it. 😉
Either way, I’m sure I should be able to find at least one or two books that would work for the challenge. 😀
Thanks so much for hosting this!!! Yay for the boys!!! 😛
