Recommended Reads from the Authors I’ve Read the Most Books From

A surprising top 10(ish) countdown

After seeing someone else write a similar article, I trekked through my own Goodreads records and calculated which authors I had read the most books from. From the outset, I suspected that it would be a lot of children’s and YA authors with series that I read as a tween, teen, and — yes — even adult. (I’m a librarian — I read in all genres). And I was correct! They did top the list, but it didn’t mean I didn’t find some surprises along the way.

This was supposed to be a top ten, but too many ties made it mathematically impossible

Honorable Mention: Gillian Flynn — 4 books

Part of my Goodreads survey revealed that I’ve read four books by a lot of authors. However, four books in Gillian’s Flynn’s case is 100% of the books she has published. I would read more if she had them! Gillian, what’s going on? I need more of your twisted psychological thrillers!
