Top Ten Tuesday: My Most Read Authors

Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme hosted at The Broke & The Bookish.

This weeks topic is:

Top 10 Authors I've Read the Most Books By

I found this weeks top ten interesting, as it turned out that a lot of authors on this list aren't even favourite authors. It also made me realise how few books some of my favourite authors have actually written. Come on, YA authors, get writing!!! I did a TTT post that was the authors I owned the most books by and the lists are different, which is good to see but also shows me I need to start reading more of the books I have bought!!!

Jodi Picoult: 22 Books

The first Jodi Picoult book I ever read was My Sister's Keeper, and it began my love for the author. As soon as I finished that book, I just knew I needed to hunt down everything else that woman had wrote. And I did. I have then followed her ever since and bought every single book as soon as it came out and devoured it. I might not have enjoyed her last few books as much as her others, but I still love the author and eagerly await her next release.


Her books almost always have these epic endings that leave me with my mouth hanging open. The ending to My Sister's Keeper actually broke me, I was a mess for a week after finishing that book.

Diane Chamberlain: 14 Books

This is the author that I found when I was going through my obsessive Jodi Picoult phase, but I'd read all the current books she had out at the time. I read The Lost Daughter and it is still my favourite Diane Chamberlain book, that book was incredible and I have wanted to reread it for years, something that this post is making me even more eager to do.

Colleen Hoover: 12 Books

I absolutely adore this woman's books, she has yet to disappoint me! I would say that my favourite book of her is definitely Maybe Someday, I highly recommend that one if you have yet to read a Hoover book. I recommend her, she writes fabulous NA books and I have loved ever single one of them so far. I will always have a soft spot for Slammed too, that book was incredible and gave me a love for slam poetry, something I never would have found if it wasn't for that book.

J.K. Rowling: 10 Books

YAY!!! It's not a top ten list without Harry Potter being on there somewhere! I adore the HP series, so it was obvious that J.K. Rowling would be a top read author of mine. I have 2 HP sets at the moment, but have two more I want to buy. Not to mention that I own all the Harry Potter Funko Pop characters. If you haven't read Harry Potter yet then you really need to hurry up and get to it.

Malorie Blackman: 8 Books

The Noughts & Crosses series is still one of my all time favourite series and I still recommend that one all the time. I tried reading more by the author, but only really enjoyed Boys Don't Cry and wasn't impressed with the other two I read, so I stopped. I am still keeping my fingers crossed for a new Noughts & Crosses book. 

Steve Berry: 8 Books

I haven't thought about these books in years, if I hadn't checked my Goodreads before doing this post then I would have forgotten about them. I read these on a whim, when I picked up the first book in my local bookstore. I ended up loving it and continued the series on, but stopped once I got far too behind and more and more books kept coming out! My favourite of them all is definitely The Romanov Prophecy, which is actually a standalone. These are very much like Dan Brown's books, so if those books interest you then I would definitely recommend them. 

Ally Carter: 6 Books

I started both of these Ally Carter series and still haven't finished either of them, something I should probably hurry up and do. I enjoyed both, they are very quick and easy reads and both really fun. They're not my favourite books, as they don't have very much to them, but I definitely do enjoy them and want to end both series when I can find the time. 

Sarah J. Maas: 5 Books

Next to J.K. Rowling and the Harry Potter series, Sarah J. Maas is my favourite author and Throne of Glass my favourite series. I have also fallen in love with ACoTaR, but don't want to proclaim it a favourite until I have at least read and loved the sequel - which I'm sure I will as Maas is a fucking genius! These are actually incredible, and I'm currently rereading the whole of the Throne of Glass series in time for Queen of Shadows which releases next month. I CAN'T WAIT!!!

Jenny Han: 5 Books

I love Jenny Han's books, they are just so adorable and easy to read. To All the Boys I've Loved Before is my favourite of the five I have read, but I have actually enjoyed them all. I know the Summer series divides opinion, but I actually really enjoyed that one. 

Jennifer L. Armentrout: 5 Books

I think this series has to win the award for ugliest covers, probably tied with the original Vampire Academy covers. They are just so awful! Who thought they were a good idea? And the new cover designs aren't any better. I finished the series but didn't end up loving them as much as I thought they would. I felt like they got worse with each new book instead of getting better and it's made me a little nervous to try more by the author. 

So there are my top ten most read authors and a lot of them are actually favourite authors of mine, who I know I will be reading for years to come. Who made your list?
