Week of Giveaways - Day Three: All about the BOYS!

I don't know about everyone else, but I enjoy reading from the boys perspective. I know we don't get a lot of that in YA, but there are definitely some standouts for me that are male pov and I thought it was a good theme for one of this weeks giveaways!

I've picked out six male POV books that I have read and adored (okay five, I haven't actually read PAPER TOWNS, but I have been assured that it is good! Thanks, Lexie!) and the winner of this one is going to get their pick of which one they want me to send their way :0)

Since I don't want to leave anyone out, this one is going to be international, as long as The Book Depository ships to you!

Oh, hey there, you probably want to know which books you could win...

  3. Since I read it only about 2 months ago I thought Iron Knight was really great. As a reader I got to know him more other than the cold Ice Prince.

  4. I've only actually read 2 of those up there, but I thought Where She Went was FANTASTIC. Not only was the book phenomenal, I thought the male voice was strong and consistent. Never once did I stop and think hmm...that's the writer showing through.

    Thanks for this week of giveaways!

  10. This probably doesn't count because only half or part of the book was in the male POV, but I really loved Ky's point of view in Crossed by Allie Condie. I got this book on audiobook from my library and the guy who did Ky's narration was perfect. I wish all male parts of audiobooks were read by Jack Riccobono!

  16. I'm not sure that I've read one in the male perspective other than Crossed by Ally Condie, which wasn't necessarily my favorite. I also read 13 Reasons Why which was in the male POV. I actually really enjoy reading books in male POV.

    ReplyDelete
  17. Paper Towns is really good. You'll probably like it! :)

    ReplyDelete

  22. Going Bovine by Libba Bray. Awesome read!

    ReplyDelete
  23. I'm currently reading Where she went :) This is my first book I've ever reat which is written from the male character's POV. Before this book I read the Perfect Chemistry books by Simone Elkeles, where it was switching between the male POV and female POV, I really liked the books!

  27. Hmm, not fully told from his POV, but Maggie Stiefvater's The Scorpio Races is 1/2 told from Sean Kendrick's POV and, well, Sean Kendrick has a great name and he's 100% amazing.

    ReplyDelete
  28. The Curse Workers series, Where She Went, Try Not To Breathe, and The Piper's Son. Thanks for the giveaway!

    ReplyDelete
  29. Hmm, Harry Potter is my favorite male POV hehe! I also enjoyed Edward's POV in Midnight Sun, though I'm not Twihard! Adam in Where She Went also captured my heart, like forever. <3

    I don't know where to find you unicorn, but I hope you find one! Just let me ride on it! :P

    ReplyDelete
  30. I would say any of Rob Thurman's Cal Leandros books. Even though she's a female, two of her three series are about brothers. For a YA series, I'd say the Potter books.

    ReplyDelete
  31. definitely Ash's from the Iron Knight, love him and was escatic to find out it would be from his pov

    ReplyDelete
  32. Hmm, there are a lot of them. Do you know Jack Kerouac's, On The Road? That's a good one.

    ReplyDelete
  33. My favorite is Tempest by Julie Cross.

  38. It's not completely male POV but I like Luc from Personal Demons :)

    ReplyDelete
  39. My favourite book from a male POV is Perks of Being a Wallflower. I really liked reading about Charlie.

    ReplyDelete
  40. Ash from The Iron Knight by Julie Kagawa, Adam from Where She Went by Gayle Forman.....they're the only books I can think of that are told from a male's point of view!

    Thanks for the giveaway.

    ReplyDelete
  41. I love Ethan in the Caster Chronicles :)

    ReplyDelete
  42. I haven't read too many, but I really liked Grave Expectations!

    ReplyDelete
  43. I like the POV of Alek from the Leviathan series :D

    ReplyDelete
  44. The Beautiful Creatures series.

    ReplyDelete
  45. So far, my favorite book with male POV is Little Brother, although I also like it when Carter assumes the POV in the Chronicles of Kane series by Rick Riordan =]

    ReplyDelete
  46. Probably The Name of the Wind by Pat Rothfuss. Although Jim Butcher's Dresden Files series and Kevin Hearne's Iron Druid Chronicles are also really good. Too bad none of those are YA :)

    ReplyDelete
  47. Across the Universe (this one actually switches off between Elder and Amy's POV, but I think it still counts :)

    Dark Life by Kat Falls

    The Namesake by Jhumpa Lahiri

    The World According to Garp by John Irving

    The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle by Haruki Murakami

    . . . and Midnight Sun by Stephenie Meyer would definitely make the cut if only it'd be released (please, please!!)

    ReplyDelete
  48. Right now my favorite book with a male POV would be The Beautiful Creatures series!!

    ReplyDelete
  49. A good portion of my favorite books are written from a male POV surprisingly, but among my favorites are Holly Black's Curse Workers series, Kenneth Oppel's Airborn novels, and the Bartimaeus Trilogy.

    ReplyDelete
  50. The Harry Potter books and Beautiful Creatures!

    ReplyDelete
  51. The Sleepwalkers was probably my favorite recent male POV read. It creeped me out and prevented me from sleeping for a few nights!

    ReplyDelete
  52. i really like quite a few that are male pov but my most recent favorites are cassel from curse workers by holly black and cas from anna dressed in blood by kendare blake : )

    ReplyDelete
  53. The Percy Jackson series. BEST EVER!

    ReplyDelete
  54. Ashfall! That book was so very, very good :)

    ReplyDelete
  55. I'm drawing a blank, but the one that comes to mind is the Inheritance Series. I like those.

    Thanks for the giveaway opportunity.

    ReplyDelete
  56. I Am Number Four by Pittacus Lore (or Harry Potter which is an all time favorite!)

    ReplyDelete
  57. My fave books from a male's POV would probably be Beastly by Alex Flinn.

    ReplyDelete
  58. I'm torn between "Where She Went" and "Anna Dressed in Blood"... my insane crush on Adam, however, probably pushes "Where She Went" ahead by a very minimal margin. I just let "Anna" to a good friend; I love sharing both of these books!

    ReplyDelete
  59. Is so hard for me to read male POV's but I really loved Razzle.
    And it's kind of funny that you would mention it because I actually found a unicorn in my mom's car yesterday, it was purple and sparkly I want to say it's name was Twilight something.

    ReplyDelete
  60. Paper Towns, definitely. :D (in case you hadn't already noticed . . . :P) It's hilarious and poignant and incredibly thought-provoking; it left me thinking for weeks after I'd finished. Sometimes I still think about it. The things John Green brings up are the kind of things that are so raw and relevant and powerful that they just won't leave your mind.

    And, since the theme is guy POV . . . well, being a guy, John does it rather brilliantly. He doesn't fall into the typical stereotypes that many females encounter when trying to figure out a male voice, but he also never strays on the feminine, flowery side of things. He's just . . . a guy. Which is perfect, for the book.

    (I am also quite in love with Where She Went, for the record)

    ReplyDelete
  61. Cas from Anna Dressed in Blood. I love him sooo much! He is a good un! Or Eragon is a pretty good male POV. Thanks for the giveaway!

    ReplyDelete
  63. Honestly I don't read many but my favorite is Beautiful Creatures.

    ReplyDelete
  64. The Caster Chronicles series, which is sooooooooo great!

    ReplyDelete
  65. Percy Jackson and the Olympains. And Harry Potter. They're the best ever.

    ReplyDelete
  66. The one right of the top of my head is the entire Percy Jackson series. I believe Thirteen Reasons Why is also male perspective and it's one of my faves (it's been FOREVER since I've read it, thus being unsure).

    ReplyDelete
  67. Across the Universe, at the moment. My favorite book is The Host by Stephenie Meyer, and it would be awesome if she writes a sequel through Ian's perspective.

    THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR THE GIVEAWAY! (:

    ReplyDelete
  68. The Given Day is my favorite

    Thanks for the giveaway! :)

  70. There are so many wonderful ones! I have a huge crush on Ash, but I loved Adam and Cas, too! I also really enjoyed John Flanagan's Ranger's Apprentice series and, of course, Harry Potter. :)

    ReplyDelete
  71. J. K. Rowling's Harry Potter! And Simone Elkeles' Perfect Chemistry!

    ReplyDelete
  72. I loooooved Anna Dressed in Blood. So much! It's definitely my favorite male POV book ever. :)

    ReplyDelete
  73. Harry Potter is the one that comes to mind. But I did really enjoy Split by Swati Avasthi!

    ReplyDelete
  74. Cas from Anna Dressed in Blood. I wish there were more male POV's out there.

    ReplyDelete
  75. Do you mean like 1st person Sg or 3rd person Sg? Anyway, I'm not sure how many books like that I've read but I really liked Looking for Alaska by John Green.

    ReplyDelete
  76. I recently read a book called Forbidden by Megan Curd and the main character, Levi, was intriguing. I enjoyed him.

    ReplyDelete
  77. Jake Wizner's Spanking Shakespeare (17 Down), remains one of the most hilarious books I've read...ever. And coincidently has a male protagonist, kind of a loser (but not unbearable type who is just dumb), but nonetheless HILARIOUS.

    ReplyDelete
  78. I'd have to say "Spud by John van de Ruit" is my favourite book from a male POV.

    Joke:

    A little boy was attending his first wedding. After the service, his cousin asked him, "How many women can a man marry?" "Sixteen," the boy responded. His cousin was amazed that he had an answer so quickly. "How do you know that?" "Easy," the little boy said. "All you have to do is add it up, like the Bishop said: 4 better, 4 worse, 4 richer, 4 poorer"

    Thank you!:)
