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?

Top Ten Tuesday #1 - Characters I Wouldn't Want With Me On A Deserted Island

Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme hosted by The Broke and The Bookish, where every Tuesday you list your top 10 in a certain topic. This week's topic was '10 Characters I Would Want With Me On A Deserted Island' but to avoid being too similar to everyone else, and rebel from society's norms, I decided to list the 10 characters I wouldn't want to live with. I know, it's bad of me but what can I say? I'm too hardcore to abide by the rules.

Oh the individuality

Jack from Lord Of The Flies

If you have read the book, you will realise that this young boy of around 10 has killed some three people on his stay at the deserted island. I wouldn't want to know what he would do to my desert island crew - yikes.

Draco Malfoy from Harry Potter

I realise that everyone will probably be aghast at the choice, but here are the reasons. I'm pretty sure he would start an argument with all of us 'muggles' and his hairspray fumes would probably kill everyone.

A mildly amusing meme

Gandalf from Lord Of The Rings

Bar Dumbledore (who seems like a bucket of fun) old wizards kind of bore me. If you are an elderly wizard why can't you just magic yourself younger again? It would sort the wrinkles out at the least.

Holden Caulfield from Catcher In The Rye

Whine, whine, whine, whine, whine. 

Gollum from Lord Of The Rings

He seems as if he would claim all of the resources as his own ... Plus he sort of creeps me out ...

Lydia Bennet from Pride and Prejudice

1. She's very annoying. 2. She's from like the Stone Age, so there would be a total culture clash there.

Snow White (and all 7 dwarves)

Snow White obviously thinks herself more highly than to listen to instructions - if we told here to not let Gollum steal anything, she would happily let him take all of our coconuts, oblivious to what we said. Plus, carrying 7 dwarves behind your back at all times is bound to get annoying.

Foxface from The Hunger Games

She says she's good with plants and knowing what to eat and all...and then she died because she ate poisonous berries. Sounds like someone who is telling the truth and has their life under control?

Macbeth from Macbeth

Err ... duhh he killed everyone. (well more or less...)

The Whole of the Twilight Cast

They can't even sort their relationship triangle out, plus one can't be in the sun, and one turns into a rather scary-looking werewolf - did they ever actually expect an invite from me?!

I would love to find out who your 10 people would be, that you would or wouldn't want with you! So comment your links in the description and I will check them all out!
