New shelf is up! Bummer cause I wanted White :(Shelf #10 ~ 22 Apr 2015: Man's World
Read a book written by a man or a man is the main character
I knew it! One of the non-winning shelves!!
Glad you are safe Sandra.....hope that was the last of the season for youAnother non winning shelf....Wow

Though October is the major Thunderstorm season, we don't normally get cyclones here in Sydney.
Yes, Michelle :)
This is the very first time in 11 Rounds of Bingo, a new shelf has been called and no team has requested a stamp for the previous shelf.Considering we have 14 teams playing that is astounding!
For Man's world...do the heroes in romance count as main character? Or does it have to be a book where a man is the sole main character like Jack Reacher or Atticus O'Sullivan?
As long as the man is the main narrator of the story it would count (and I don't mean audio). If its 50/50 or less, no it wouldn't count.
Sandra wrote: "Yes, Michelle :)"Thank you! I was hopeful, cause although it's pnr I think Styxx will play a huge part in the book, like Acheron did in his.
Thanks! That helps! Very few romances are told mostly from the male's POV - it's either 50%-50% or the leaning towards the woman. The only one I can think of the top of my head is
.
If only I'd waited one more week before starting
, it's told from Layne's POV.
How about an Ilona Andrews book, written by Gordon and Ilona writing team?
Have to say no Lis.
there is always the Iron Druid series or Jim Butcher books
For those looking for inspiration, I'll add my male author shelf, there are 75 entries:Male Authors
Thx Sandra and Rosina... I haven't hit the like mark in the Dresden or Iron Druid series yet... I think I found a good one with Dex's POV in
Just out of curiosity and only because I have a few of these staring at me and whispering "Read me! Read me!" Can I read an anthology? I have the Guys Read series edited by Jon Scieszka and 75% of the stories are written by men.
Yes AH, as long as you read all of it, anthologies are fine, and that one is edited & written by more than 50% male.
Lis that book is all sorts of awesome :)

thanks Sandra found an interesting one on there
Nvm its a male writer. Didnt see that till after i posted
Rosina, you can't read a graphic novel for Bingo, but you can read the full novel, Rivers of London, I liked it.
Sandra wrote: "Rosina, you can't read a graphic novel for Bingo, but you can read the full novel, Rivers of London, I liked it."I saw i had posted the GN in error and changed it to the book version.
So far liking it.
Excellent!
Oh...so glad for Sandra, fam & friends!Also glad for all of us in Bingo-land...cause the first I could get on today for posting was...NOW (well, just a bit before this exact NOW, but pretty dang close...and hours after Sandra did). (Imagining the blood and mayhem from such a potential shelf delay and virtually whimpering in a theoretical corner with apologies, theoretical!, to all)
LOL Lucky everything worked out well :)
Does The Ocean at the End of the Lane by NeilGaiman work for Man's World shelf? Some of the editions are less than 200 pages but the Kindle one I'm reading now says 259 pages.
As long as one edition is over 200 pgs that's good enough Skandia.
Does anyone know if
has mostly male POV?
Logan, I've asked Lee, who's just finished reading it, the question. We'll have to wait & see what she says, unless someone else pipes up first. Lee is in England, so not sure what the time difference is.
Logan, Lee said it was 75/25 male POV, so go ahead and read it :)
SHELF!I was off yesterday so I totally forgot today was Tuesday!
LOL

Great Analysis :)
Does this work
for Man's World
Thanks, Danielle. Maybe I need one of those jackets like the ESPN Sportscenter guys wear? ... hmmm ... smh, Nah. I'm not a dark sports jacket kind of gal. I'll stick to my colors and patterns.
it appears we have a NON winning shelf this week
I still wanted the White shelf, which is a non winning shelf as well. Mr R is being contrary!!

AH wrote: "Is this the longest bingo?"No. I just checked the BSB history thread and we've had 14 called until a winner. 11-12 looks to be average.
