Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme I take part in when I can think up answers! It’s a great meme hosted by The Broke and the Bookish blog. Every week they suggest a new book-related topic. It’s not only fun to think about my list, but to read what other people come up with!
This week we’re talking about the authors we’ve read the most books from. I decided to limit the time frame from 2010 to now. My reading tastes tend to change every few years. I’ve shown the authors who are new to me since I started my blog in 2013. Those numbers show that I’m adding mysteries into my fantasy and science fiction reading.
Then I included the authors from whom I’ve still read at least one book since I started my blog and then added in the books I read since 2010. I was still reading more romance in 2010. But now Mary Balogh who writes historical romance would be the only one who might still be on my list based on my blog stats!
Anyway I had fun delving into my numbers and making this list . . .
(P.S. I forgot I didn’t pre-schedule this post! This morning I’m reading the fourth book–Dark Ascension by M.L. Brennan–an author who will be on my future lists.)
