I know I’ve been a little light on reviews lately, but they’re coming, I promise!
Today’s Top Ten Tuesday, hosted by The Broke and the Bookish, is what authors you’ve read the most. I thought this was a fun topic for a top ten list, since it will tell you a lot about how I read. I decided to create two lists, one of series authors, and one of non-series authors. They just don’t seem comparable to me. Although there’s some crossover – Kate Atkinson writes series and non-series, as does Margaret Atwood, and JK Rowling wrote one non-series book, The Casual Vacancy. But mostly it works.
So, in the series category, here are my top ten (alphabetical):
- Ilona Andrews
- Patricia Briggs
- Jim Butcher
- Jasper Fforde
- Diana Gabaldon
- Naomi Novik
- Anne Perry
- Deanna Raybourn
- JK Rowling
- Scott Westerfeld
In the non-series category, here’s who I decided on (also alphabetical):
- Isabel Allende
- Kate Atkinson
- Margaret Atwood
- Jane Austen
- T.C. Boyle
- Thomas Hardy
- Alice Hoffman
- Stephen King
- Barbara Kingsolver
- Armistead Maupin
This list took more time than I anticipated, but it was fun to think about. Some of my runners-up were Larry McMurtry, Nick Hornby, and Maggie O’Farrell, just to give you an idea. If you wanted to know my favorite authors, this would pretty much tell you.
Who’s on your list?
