Top Ten Authors I've Read The Most Books From

I'm late for Top 10 Tuesday once again, what a surprise! Tuesday's topic was to pick the top 10 authors I've read the most books from. I excluded most children books because theres just TOO MANY, and I can can't remember half of them!



1. Coming in at number one is Mr. Lemony Snicket with a total of 13 books! A Series of Unfortunate Events was one of my favorite book series growing up and it is so special to me. I'm slowly re-reading them in anticipation for the Netflix series! I have yet to read any of the companions to ASOUE such as The Beatrice Letters and The Unauthorized Autobiography but I hope to do so soon!



2. Harry Potter is obviously on this list because lets face it, I've read this 7 book series way too many times to count. J.K. Rowling is my favorite author of all time and I love this series so so much and nothing can top it in my opinion! I hope to read more of J.K. Rowling soon, and plan on picking up her books under the name of Robert Galbraith.






3. Number three on this list is David Levithan with a total of 6 books. Along with the books pictured, I have also read Dash & Lily's Book of Dares which he co-wrote with Rachel Cohn. As well as the novella for Everyday, titled Six Days Earlier, and the sequel Another Day.






4. John Green! I discovered John Green about two years ago and the first book I ever read by him was Looking For Alaska. Back then I hadn't been reading much but I remember loving Green's writing and style. I'd have to say TFIOS is my favorite of the bunch and Paper Towns (which is not pictured), is my least favorite.





5. Stephen King with a total of 4 books. I know, your thinking... only 4? But Michelle..you talk about him all the time and your always hauling his books!? Yes. I am. But surprisingly I've only read a small few. This is mostly due to the fact that his books are lonnnnng, and pretty intimidating. I've slowly but surely been making my way through them this year. My favorite so far is The Shining, which is not pictured.





6. Rainbow Rowell with a total of 3 books. I quickly fell in love with Rowell's writing when I read Eleanor & Park it quickly became one of my favorite books of all time! I've now read everything she's published except for Landline which I plan on reading very, very soon!





7. Verionica Roth with 3 books, all a part of the Divergent trilogy. I read this series a while ago and really enjoyed it but I found that Insurgent was veryyyyy drawn out, I actually liked the ending of Allegiant (unpopular opinion?). I still have the Four collection of novellas that I've been putting off but will probably get to at one point or another. 










8. Gillian Flynn with a total of two books. I somehow misplaced my copy of Sharp Objects :( but so far I have read that one and Gone Girl. WHICH I LOVE. I gave both of those books 5 stars. Flynn is quickly becoming a favorite and I'm hoping to read Dark Places this month. 






9. Ransom Riggs! One of my new favorite authors. The Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children series has quickly become one of my favorites and I usually cannot keep up with series so this is rare! I have read 3 of his books..technically 2? One of them was just the Graphic Novel version of the first book but hey..I think it counts.




10. And last but not least we have Morgan Matson! When I read Since You've Been Gone last summer I immediately knew that Matson would end up being one of my favorite authors. I don't tend to reach for contemporaries because a lot of the times I find they all feel the same. With Matson it feels different, her characters are unique and there is NO insta-love. She creates pretty shy main characters which is something that I can relate to, and it's a nice change from the characters I normally read about. I will be reading Second Chance Summer soon and everything else that she has ever written/writes!
