Top 10 Authors I Own the Most Books From

This is an interesting topic for me since 1) I've only been reading extensively for the past two years. 2) I purchase a LOT of used books from various places so although I may own a lot of books from a particular writer it doesn't mean I've read any of them... Ironically, my favorite author is not on this list! I must remedy this ASAP!

in no particular order

1. Nicholas Sparks
2. Sarah Dessen
3. Melissa De La Cruz
4. Maya Banks
5. Rainbow Rowell
6. Nick Hornby
7. Jennifer Weiner
8. Dean Koontz
9. Ernest Hemingway
10. Cassandra Clare

Nicholas Spark and Sarah Dessen are both popular in North Carolina so there are always a lot of their books floating around. I've been reading Sparks since I was in middle school so call it a guilty pleasure if you will. I hope to read some of my Dessen books soon because I've heard so many good things!

At a library sale a while back I was able to scoop of all of the Blue Bloods series by De La Cruz for a bargain. The bonus was they were all brand new, finished copies. 

Yes, I read Maya Banks and I heart her so throw the shade in the comments, I can handle it. I've never been a big erotica reader but I do like Ms. Banks in my life. 

I own all of the published books by Rainbow Rowell and I wish there were more. Maybe I'll find her old columns... haha. 

I was introduced to Nick Hornby via movies based on his books. *insert collective groan here* I loved the movies so I knew I'd love the books. I have a number of his novels now thanks to various used books sales. 

I'm not big on traditional romance novels, but Weiner writes entertaining adult romance with the comedic timing of real life. I now scoop up any of her novels I see on the shelves.

At the last large library book sale I started hunting for all of the Odd Thomas novels and I think I found all but one of them. This easily made Koontz one of the authors I own the most books from. Maybe one day I'll actually get to read them. *dun, dun*

A while back I read The Paris Wife a fictional novel about Hemingway's first marriage. I became enamored by his life and started reading all of his books. I own multiple editions of some of his titles, and have read them all. I don't even think highly of his writing but his himself was a very interesting man with an even more interesting family. However, every time I hear his name I think of this...

Last but not least I own a lot of Cassandra Clare mostly because of the number of novels she churns out! Between the Mortal Instrument and Infernal Devices series that totals to nine books not to include what more I plan to add to my shelves from this world. 

Talk to me:

What author do you own the most of? Is it reflective of your reading tastes? Is your favorite author your most owned author?
