Top Ten Tuesday (1)

Top Ten Tuesday is hosted by The Broke and Bookish, and we compile a list of the chosen topic. This week, the topic is:

Authors I Own the Most Of

Okay, so obviously, I wanted to start participating in something while running my book blog, but this one scared me. I do a lot of book and author sampling. I took a deep breath, and examined my shelves and boxes of books, and I came up with a list. Some are technically ties, but this is what I've got. Enjoy.

  1. Nicholas Sparks (20)
    I own every book written by this man in hardcover. I also have a few dupes and a few in paperback.
  2. J.K. Rowling (11)
    I own the entire Harry Potter collection, including the three supplemental books to the series. I have two copies of Tales of Beedle the Bard. Other people in my home own some J.K. Rowling books, so the total count is higher; I just included my own.
  3. Ann Brashares (9)
    My mom bought me a box set of the Sisterhood series when I was in elementary school. I found the fifth one, and my grandma randomly buys some of her books for me. I still have to read 3 Willows, The Last Summer (Of You and Me), and The Here and Now.
  4. Laura Ingalls Wilder (8)
    My mom bought me a box set of her books when I was little because she loved Little House on the Prairie. I've never read them, but I will one day. I just didn't understand why she gave them to me.
  5. Kiera Cass (4)
    Right now, I own all three books in The Selection series and the stories in paperback.
  6. Veronica Roth (4)
    I own all three books in the Divergent trilogy and a hardcover of Four: A Divergent Collection.
  7. Rainbow Rowell (4)
    I own all four of her books.
  8. Suzanne Collins (3)
    I own all three books in The Hunger Games trilogy.
  9. Lois Lowry (3)
    I own a hardcover and paperback copy of The Giver. I also have a copy of Number the Stars on my shelf, but I've never read it.
  10. Sarah Ockler (3)
    I don't own all of her books, but I do have Bittersweet, The Book of Broken Hearts, and Fixing Deliah.

If you participate, leave a comment. I want to check out who most often appears on your shelves.
