Top Ten Tuesday is an original feature/weekly meme created by The Broke and the Bookish (click the image to visit them) who pick a different topic each week.
This week the topic is: The Top Ten Authors You’ve read the Most Books From.
If you’re experiencing dejá vu right now you can be forgiven. We did a similar list (Authors we OWN the most books by) last year, and because I’m lazy and would like to save some time I’m going to re-use that post – the answers are pretty much the same.
The only additions I would make is that I’ve read at least 3 more Bateman books listed, and maybe 4 more Stephen King ones but didn’t keep them. I would also add Alice Hoffman and Susan Hill to the list – I’ve read at least 5 each of theirs.
Here was my original post

Ooooh I liked this one! There’s something really satisfying about having multiple books by the same author. I particularly enjoy my Derek Landy shelf because I have them all in hardback and they’re beautiful!
Firstly, here is my main bookshelf in all its glory. It’s actually quite tidy at the moment.

I could keep going with the 4’s for a while but I won’t. I also felt like I should have included Alice Hoffman and Susan Hill because I’ve read so many books by them, but for one reason or another I haven’t kept them all.
I’m especially interested to see if everyone else’s owned and read books are as similar as mine. Do you keep most of the books you read? Feel free to leave a link to yours :)
