Top Ten Tuesday #2 - Authors I Own The Most Books From

Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly bloggish meme hosted by The Broke And The Bookish in which we list our top 10 of a certain topic. This week's topic was 'Authors I Own The Most Books From' and so here it is (... in reverse order because again, I'm not conforming to society's norms #rebel):

4 Books.
I have 4 books by both Malorie Blackman and Pseudonymous Bosch (that name took a long time to write...). 

 The Noughts And Crosses series, as of yet, I am enjoying and have a signed copy of Noble Conflict. 
I can literally feel your intense jealousy.

 And the 'secret' series I used to read when I was younger; they were actually really good, and I love the titles, and front page of these books.





5 Books.
I don't know quite how this happened, or if it counts but I have 2 books of both Catching Fire and Mockingjay... And because Suzanne Collins is amazing, I decided to allow it as 5 so she could make the list.



I also have 5 books of the Skullduggery Pleasant series by Derek Landy


6 Books.
I'm guessing these are by multiple authors?!


I also have 6 Rick Riordan books. Of which I have probably read 2...


13 Books & 3rd Place.
I have 13 Enid Blyton books from when I was younger. I used to be in love with these mysteries, and my best friend from ages ago bought me the Famous Five book. 


I also have another 13 books from another favourite childhood author - Lemony Snicket (or Daniel Handler, his real name)


15 Books & 2nd Place.
Robert Muchamore and the infamous Cherub and Henderson Boys series. I absolutely still adore these books, and am pretty sure I have read all of them 3 times each.

8 of the books are on my Kindle hence why there are only the 7 in this picture 


20 Books & 1st Place
I'm pretty sure that's some kind of record


Anthony Horowitz. 

My pre-teen writing hero for the StormBreaker series and his horror short-stories, these books have been read at least 5 times each, and remain in the coveted top shelf of the bookcase.




I would love to read your TTTs so comment below the links and I will be sure to check them out! 
Which author has the top shelf of your bookcase?

      Ahaha thankyou for the approval! :)

      The Lemony Snicket set used to be my favourite reading. And the MATCHING hardcovers make my life!

      Thanks for stopping by and I'm glad you enjoyed it!

    Apparently I have missed out on Anthony Horowitz's books! I've seen them on shelves at the bookstore but never checked them out. I may just have to now. Great list!

    Your Snicket set is SO NICE TO BEHOLD. And ohh! I'd forgotten all about Muchamore's series. Not that I own any, but I binge read, like most of Cherub a few years back. Hehe. I was disappointed when the series veered away from James and Lauren though, so I kind of lost interest. But they seriously got to do some epic stuff. x)

      I do love a good set of hardcover books! Cherub is my easy-reading holiday series; I full out binge on those for the week, lying by the pool or on the plane! I do agree though once James and Lauren had grown up and left the campus, my interest in the books slowly declined.

    Oh, I love the Alex Rider series!!! =D Or at least I did several years ago and probably have no right to say that I still do . . . You see, I bought the first four books in New Zealand, and they were a certain size, and all in British English . . . and then after that I moved and could only find the American editions. ("Point Blank," America? Really?) And I confess that that kept me from continuing the series. A few months ago, I found a British copy of Scorpia in a local used bookstore and snapped it up immediately, but I can't imagine I'll be lucky again with the next two books.

    I also have The Falcon's Malteaser but haven't started it yet. How would you say Anthony Horowitz's mysteries stack up against his Alex Rider books?

      I love (well, much like you, loved...) the Alex Rider series, and I literally feel your pain! The book sets HAVE to match or I cannot go any further. Perhaps amazon would sell the books required (but it might cost a lot due to postage... :/) I thoroughly wish you well on your book hunt!

      I, really do like his horror, mystery type short-stories. They are just "light-hearted guilty-free easy reading" and although incredible in aspects, and I did thoroughly enjoy them, I have to give the point to the Alex Rider series on this one.

      The short-stories are fantastic though, and earn a definite recommend from me! I don't think they quite compare to the whole Alex Rider set, but I would give them a go if I were you! They are fast paced, witty, horror type mysteries and just a really light read.

      Another option for you, is the Cherub series - sort of like the Alex Rider in a sense, but slightly more mature and developed I would say!
