I would have said that I never choose books by the gender of the author, but then I remembered there was a time when I discovered hard-boiled detective stories with women main characters, written by women, and I devoured them. Authors like Marcia Muller, Sara Paretsky, Linda Barnes, Carol Higgins Clark.
I don't usually notice the sex of illustrators, or even if I've seen other books illustrated by the same person, though I did recognize when I read The Invention of Hugo Cabret that it was done by the person who did Andrew Clements's fabulous book covers.
