This week, The Broke and Bookish is asking everybody for their top-ten authors that we own the most books from. This was an easy list to make, as all you have to do is count. I was actually surprised by some of the books that I own the most of
1. Louisa May Alcott-11
2. L.M. Montgomery-14
3. J.K. Rowling- 8
4. Mary Stewart-13
5. Georgette Heyer-14
6. P.G. Wodehouse-7
7. Jane Austen-7
8. Shakespeare-All (or most) of his plays...does that count as books? Anyway, that makes 36.
9. Mark Twain-12
10. Charles Dickens- 10
So that's my list! After making this, I realize that most of the authors that I have lots of are authors of classics. Huh!
Love these authors, but for some reason I do not own so many books by them!
ReplyDeleteShakespeare definitely counts! I totally forgot to put him on my list... cuz I own all of them, as well. :D I love Shakespeare! Great post. My TTT: http://escapingrealitybookreviews.wordpress.com/2014/07/29/ten-authors-i-own-the-most-books-from/

ReplyDeleteYou're right that this topic made it easy to put a post together. I was also very surprised at my results. My own Tenner turned out very Romance heavy, although my Romance phase ended about five years ago! Perhaps it's a sign that I should curate my library properly instead of being such a packrat all the time? =P
I didn't remember Shakespeare when putting my Tenner together, though, or he would have made the Top 5 easily!
I have Jane Austen, also.
ReplyDeleteWas surprised by how many I have of some authors.
