BOYS ALLOWED!!!
Tuesday 7th April 2009
It’s mostly girls who read my books… or is it? Who says that boys don’t want to read real-life, growing up stories about friendship, families and falling in love? Boys have friends, families and feelings too, after all!
Boys DO read my books, but they don’t post on the website as often as girls. (OK, OK, I know… the website IS very pink!!!!) Do YOU know a boy who enjoys my books? A friend, a brother, a classmate, a boyfriend? If so, get him to post a comment through the link below explaining why he likes the books… I’ll post the best online and print the VERY best in a brand new CC minibook, Cupcakes & Kisses, to be given away free with UK mag Mizz in the summer!
Who knows, there could be some boy readers out there who are just as cool as Finn, Kian, Sam, Carter, Paul and Mouse…
Get those comments coming… let’s hear it for the boys!!!

I am glad that boys are now being recognized. My best friend is a boy and he loves reading just like me!!!!! We are sooooooo close!! I recommeded Indigo Blue(that was the first CC book I read) and HE LOVED IT SOOOO MUCH!!!!!!! SO, again I am very glad that boy readers are being recognized because they act all tough and stuff but really they are like a quarter of that. They just don’t want to admit it.
So, I gotta go . . . .love ya CC!!!!!
I think everyone should enjoy books! + I saw boyz in my class reading dizzy and Scarlett! My fave one is Scarlett!
i think it’s cool if boys like cathy cassidy’s books cause they are soooooooo AWESOME!!!!!!!
I’m a guy and I love reading Cathy’s books for their heart and warmth, their humour and honesty. Although the main characters are usually girls, the situations and emotions are not something only girls feel. Boys feel delight and sadness, hurt and joy, like girls, but they show it differently. Once you’re reading it is less about whether it’s a girls book and more whether it is a good book.
Maybe they should also print the books with different colours or designs so that they look more appealing to boys, or at least less obviously for girls. To those who sneer at boys who read “girl†books, it’s your loss. The rest of us are having too much fun reading to care.
P.S. I’m looking forward to seeing Cathy on her Australian trip and hope she’ll sign some books for me and my little (girl) cousins.
My bf reads these books and loves them and looooves me too but some good news for you cathy he likes your books more than me but i am okay with it
I think that boys an girls can read wat they want wen they want!!!! and thats a fact!
xxoxoxoxoxoxox lya
really boys can read wat they want.we all have free will!
gosh!Cathy Cassidy is likethe best ever writer so im not surprised if boys like it her!
Yeah, I agree that boys sometimes read Cathy Cassidy books they are just too afraid to admit it to their mates who may laugh at them to cover up the fact they might do too!
Yeah, I’m not so sure because some boys don’t enjoy reading but when they start they realise how good the book can be. Some just don’t like reading at all. x
I tried to get my brother to read them but he wouldnt after seeing the covers 🙁
