        @avantgame Not that anyone asks me to blurb a book, but I may set a similar policy for racial representation.

        @avantgame While you're at it, please add books written by women but have audio books read by men. I've never understood that.

        @avantgame Like the other tweeter said, I think you should write that book. You bring the passion that it needs.

        @avantgame - You're reacting to the issue of women not being included enough... by excluding yourself via a snarky one-liner?
