Hosted each week by The Broke and the Bookish, it's a meme for listing the top ten for everything bookish.
Today's topic is Most Read Authors. I did this topic back in 2015 and after looking at my most read authors today, I noticed that not much has changed. So, I'm going to list my most read authors from the last five years!
Janet Evanovich
Number of books read: 30
Favorite: No favorite
I started reading the Stephanie Plum series a couple of years ago. My mom recommended the series, especially the audio. It makes really easy audiobook listening, but all the books are usually just 3 stars from me (or sometimes 2.5 stars).
Cate Tiernan
Number of books read: 18
What I read: Sweep 1-15 and Immortal Beloved Trilogy
Favorite: Immortal Beloved Trilogy
I really liked the Immortal Beloved books, so I couldn't choose a favorite between the three. I also liked the Sweep series, though not as much. If anyone does decide to pick up the Sweep series, by the way, I recommend skipping the last book because it ruins the rest of the series.
Victoria Schwab/V.E. Schwab
Number of books read: 14
What I read: Shades of Magic 1-3, Villains 1&2, The Near Witch, The Unbound, Monsters of Verity 1&2, Everyday Angel 1-3, and Cassidy Blake 1-2
Favorite(s): Shades of Magic and Monsters of Verity
Now, it was much harder to pick favorites for this one because Victoria Schwab is one of my favorite authors!
Lemony Snicket/Daniel Handler
Number of books read: 13
What I read: A Series of Unfortunate Events books 2-13 and Why We Broke Up
Favorite: The Penultimate Peril
I read the first book in A Series of Unfortunate Events in 2014 (before the start of this list), and I didn't continue the series until the Netflix series started. I really loved reading the series, even more after I picked it up after the long break. Now, I didn't enjoy Why We Broke Up as much.
Meg Cabot
Number of books read: 12
What I read: Abandon, Airhead 1-3, How to Be Popular, All-American Girl 1&2, The Princess Diaries 3-6, and Prom Night From Hell (w/ other authors)
Favorite: No Favorite
Like Janet Evanovich, I don't really love Meg Cabot's books. I just read a lot of them because they were popular, easy reading, and I picked up a bunch from used book sales. Both books from her got between 2-3 stars from me. (The only books that received more than three stars were a couple of books in the Mediator series, which I read right before the cut-off for this list).
Louise Rennison
Number of books read: 10
What I read: Confessions of Georgia Nicolson Series
Favorite: Are These My Basoomas I See Before Me?
This is a really entertaining series, and I highly recommend it when you want to read something a little silly
Holly Black
Number of books read: 10
What I read: Magisterium 1-5 (w/ Cassandra Clare), Doll Bones, The Darkest Part of the Forest, and The Folk of the Air 1-3
Favorite: The Folk of the Air 1-3
Kasie West
Number of books read: 9
What I read: Pivot Point, P.S. I Like You, By Your Side, Lucky in Love, Love, Life, and the List, Listen to Your Heart, Fame, Fate, and the First Kiss, Maybe This Time, and Moment of Truth
Favorite: Pivot Point
I still hope for another book as great as Pivot Point from her.
Jay Kristoff
Number of books read: 9
What I read: The Lotus Wars 1-3, Likelike 1&2, The Illuminae Files 2&3 (w/Amie Kaufman), and The Aurora Cycle 1&2 (w/Amie Kaufman)
Favorite: The Illuminae Files
Another one of my favorite authors!
E Lockhart
Number of books read: 8
What I read: Fly on the Wall, The Disreputable History of Frankie Landau-Banks, Dramarama, Genuine Fraud, and Ruby Oliver 1-4
Who are your most read authors?
Kasie West is one of my most read YA authors (along with Sarah Dessen). I need to read more of the Georgia Nicholson books, because I adore that kid.
