After watching the video by the lovely Jen Campbell, author of Weird Things Customers Say in Bookshops and The Bookshop Book, on her top ten most owned authors, I was curious to see what mine are.
Without further ado, the books:
Rachel Caine
20
Books - Having a 15-book series really does put you ahead of the game... But
you know what, I’d still read more from Morganville – that world has so much to
give.
Nicholas Sparks
18
Books – What can I say, I love a good tearjerker and Sparks’ earliest works are
wonderful. I’m hoping he’ll eventually be that good again...
Sarra Manning
18
Books – Long time fan of this lady and her quirky, endearing heroines and the
deliciously moody boys they fall in love with. I’ve also stocked up on her
adult novels for me to binge on one day.
Scott Westerfeld
13
Books – Uglies is a dystopian from
before there was YA dystopian and I’ve loved his books ever since.
Richelle Mead
12
Books – No one creates worlds and mythology like this lady. She can take tired
themes and tropes and make them sparkle. Soon, The Ruby Circle will be up here too.
Cassandra Clare
11
Books – So much Shadowhunter goodness! I’m so ready for a new series from her,
but if they carry on being as big as they are, Imma need a new shelf...
Julie Kagawa
11
Books – Though I haven’t enjoyed any of Julie’s books as much as I did The Iron Fey, I live in hope and
continue to buy each of new releases.
Sarah Dessen
11
Books – My favourite. If my life could be written by any author I would chose
Sarah Dessen – THAT’S how much I love her books. And there’s a new one coming
in May! *happy dance*
Maggie Stiefvater
11
Books – Another one with a new book coming out this year! The wait for The Raven King already feels too long
and it’s not even out until September...
Darren Shan
10
Books – Considering how many books of his I currently own, he is one of my most
recent favourites, and definitely the most recent on this list. The Zom-B series is published as a serial
with a new instalment every 3-ish months and there’s only two more to go! And then
I can begin collecting his epic backlist...
So there
you have my top 10 most owned authors, accompanied by terrible pictures of them
on my shelves. Most of them I can’t quite reach or are so firmly wedged in that
I can’t get them out very easily – that’s how I’m explaining away my awful
photography skills anyway...
Who are your most owned
authors? Does anyone own more than 20 books by one author?
Sophie
What a wonderful post, Sophie. I love Jen's videos. She's quickly become one of my favourite booktubers. And I did love this video. I think Sarra Manning and Maggie Stiefvater would make my list as well but I don't know who else!
