New Books For Women Readers


By Mattie MacDonald


Men tend to read less than women, according to many different surveys. They also do not appear to enjoy fiction as much as their female counterparts. One theory used to explain this is that the brains of females work differently and therefore they are able to have more empathy for characters in fictional novels. The fact is that females are a very important part of the market when it comes to selling fiction. New books for women readers are readily available and many of these can be purchased from online stores.

Surveys have also established that male and female reading habits are rather different. While females tend to find it difficult to put a book down once they have started reading, males do not seem to have this problem. Many of them admit to leaving a book or two unfinished. They prefer non-fiction on the whole and often read more technical literature aimed at solving problems or teaching them how to do something.

It is no wonder that many websites are aimed at satisfying the reading needs of the female reader. There are even those that are entirely devoted to them, providing a place where they can exchange information about the novels they love and receive information about authors. This is made possible in a multitude of different ways, from participating in forums to writing reviews.

Matching users with suitable content is the aim of most of these websites. Novels are broken down into many categories, enabling a search to be conducted in a variety of ways. This allows users to find exactly what they are looking more easily. They do not have to wade through thousands of novels to find one that is suitable.

Users looking for newly released novels and fresh authors to read are given plenty of suggestions to help them make a choice. Bestsellers of the month and other categories help to give an indication of what other people have enjoyed reading. Reading reviews written by in-house editors and fellow customers is also helpful. Access to social media is a way of finding out what friends recommend.

Many novels today are being written by female authors, with strong female characters and about issues that affect their lives. Courageous and daring fantasy heroines abound, female detectives and forensic pathologists solve murders, and the place of a woman in society as well as her dreams for the future are common themes.

One genre that appeals to many females is romance, perhaps because it provides a welcome escape from humdrum existence. Even those who prefer to read worthy, serious literature may take a dip into the romance genre at times for some relief. They can set aside reality for a time and indulge in rewarding fantasy.

Mystery, crime, adventure, romance, memoirs and fantasy are just some of the many genres available. Every woman will find something that appeals to her whether she enjoys heartrending tales or psychological thrillers. Buying books is easier than ever before with the many online stores available today. It is even possible to find those with reduced prices and other special offers.
