Top Ten Authors I Own the Most Books From
When I started completing this prompt I realized something. I don't have a lot of books from the same author, even some favorite authors. With most of these authors I just own all the books in a particular series and maybe a few others.
1.) J.K. Rowling - Number of Books Owned: 11
This is probably the top of a lot of people's lists. Personally I have all seven books in the Harry Potter series, a Canadian version of The Order of the Phoenix, an Italian version of The Half Blood Prince, The Tales of Beedle the Bard, and The Cuckoo's Calling.
I used to be totally obsessed with The Stephanie Plum series. I read all the way to Sizzling Sixteen and then moved on from cozy mysteries and haven't read any of the more recent ones. But I own the first four books, 14, 15, two between the numbers books, an an eARC of The Heist which she co-wrote with Lee Goldberg.
And another series I am a huge fan of is the Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants. I own all five books (and kind of want the redesigned paperbacks) in that series. I also have a copy of My Name is Memory which is fantastic and an eARC of The Here and Now.
Again, I'm a huge fan of the Wicked Years series which is much darker and with a lot more political than the musical would lead you to believe. I kind of want the last two books in mass market paperback to match the first two because they're so pretty! I also have a copy of Confessions of an Ugly Stepsister and an ARC of Egg and Spoon (review forthcoming)
In my opinion The Luxe series is one of the most under-appreciated series in YA literature. It's a fantastic piece of historical fiction with great characters and an amazing romance. I own all four books in that series and the first book Anna Godbersen's Bright Young Things series set in the 1920s.
The rest of these are not going to be very exciting as it's mostly just all the books in one series. Like the A Song of Ice and Fire series for which I own all the mass market paperbacks.
7.) J.R.R. Tolkein - Books Owned: 4
And I also own the entire Lord of the Rings series, for which I have to movie tie-ins and a copy of The Hobbit which I may own because I never returned it to my high school English teacher (oops?).
Libba Bray is a recent addition to the amazing authors I love list. Last year I read the Gemma Doyle trilogy and loved it! I own those three books and an audiobook version of Beauty Queens. I would like to own more Libba Bray books most notably The Diviners series!

I was went through a total Milan Kundera phase in college and immediately after graduating. I read The Joke in one of my political philosophy classes and loved it so much I read The Unbearable Lightness of Being, The Book of Laughter and Forgetting, and bought Immortality which I started and never finished.
She may be new to me but quickly has become one of my favorites and an auto-buy. I own every one of her books: Attachments, Eleanor & Park, Fangirl, and Landline. Everything she writes is pure brilliance and I can't wait to read more books by her!
What authors do you own the most books from? Have you read any of these authors? Do you love them as much as I do? Leave me comment with your thoughts? Thanks for stopping by and HAPPY READING!
J k Rowling made so many lists today and I'm not surprised at all. A lot of great authors on your list! Some I've read and some I haven't.

I am pretty sure J.K. Rowling will be on A LOT of lists today :P. I love Rainbow Rowell even If I have only read Fangirl it was just THAT good!

J K Rowling tops my list today alongside J R R Tolkien. So many books by those two! George R R Martin also makes the list. Great list :)

When I started my list, I realized I didn't have a distinct collection of books by ten different authors. I ended up changing my topic to Ten Authors I've Read the Most Books From which made the list much easier. I think J.K. Rowling is on everyone's list today.
ReplyDeleteGreat list! I have The Song Of Ice And Fire and Lord Of The Rings series too :)
ReplyDeleteAwesome list! I love Tolkien and Rowling and own both of their series! I own all of Rainbow Rowell's books but I haven't read them yet. I need to get on that.
ReplyDeleteNice! Lots of Rowling today! I only have her 7 HP books and 7 was easily topped by many other authors. But still LOVE those books!
ReplyDeleteHere's my Tuesday Post
Have a GREAT day!

I didn't compile a list for this week's topic, because my home library is still this small thing, BUT I love looking at what other readers own. :) Out of your featured authors, I've only read 2/10: Rainbow & J.K.! I sooo need to get to Attachments and Landline, because I just loved E&P and Fangirl! AND I need to finish the HP series at some point in my life too (please, don't judge). Really enjoyed this list! Thanks for sharing. :)

I feel like George R.R. Martin's books should count twice, since they're SO. FREAKING. HUGE.
ReplyDeleteAlso, I read Gregory Maguire's Wicked after seeing the musical, and was kind of shocked at how different they were. I still liked the book, but, as you said, it's much darker than the musical would lead you to believe! Who knew Oz could be so devastating.
