Moving further up the list of my most read authors, here’s the icing on the cake.

#10:

A squishy spot for three authors, #10 is a place for lucky number seven. I’ve read seven of their books.

• Michael J. Sullivan
  • The Riyria Revelations Series (original comprised of 6 books)
  • Greener Grass – I simply adored Michael’s work. I’ve blogged about him a bit too, as some of you may know.
• Anne Rice
  • The Vampire Chronicles 1-6 and #8 (not sure why I missed book 7 [very strange!])
• Diana Gabaldon
  • The Outlander Series I’ve also blogged previously about her characters Jamie and Claire.

#9:

The first single author in a spot goes to an author that has blessed me with eight books.

• Paullina Simons
  • Tatiana and Alexander Series: The Bronze Horseman, Tatiana and Alexander, The Summer Garden
  • Song in the Daylight
  • Road to Paradise
  • Eleven Hours
  • The Girl in Times Square
  • Tully

#7:

Jostling for a spot in the top five are two authors, both of who I’ve read nine of their books.

• Keri Arthur
  • The Riley Jensen Series books #1-9
• Paul Jennings
  • I read a lot of Paul Jennings’ books when I was in school. They’re a perfect addition to any early childhood/teenagers bookshelf!

#6:

Reserved for one. This spot is sporting a writing great, and a fellow Aussie to boot! I’ve read 10 of his books.

• John Marsden
  • The Tomorrow Series #1-7  – They just made this into a movie and it was pretty good in terms of capturing the general feeling of the book. I will be going to see movie #2 when it comes out too.
  • The Elle Chronicles #1-3 – While not as good as his original series, these held their own.

#4:

The fourth spot is reserved for two lovely and very talented ladies. I’ve read a whopping 11 of their works each.

• Lindsay Buroker
  • The Emperor’s Edge Series (including novellas) – I needn’t tell you just how much I LOVE Lindsay’s work. The proof is in the pudding, erm…blog posts (the rapidly growing number of them!)
  • Encrypted – Same world as The EE Series, but different characters.
  • Enigma (An Encrypted Novella) – I also happened to blog about this one too.
• Laurell K. Hamilton
  • Anita Blake, Vampire Hunter Series #1-3
  • Merry Gentry Series #1-8

#2:

Oooh! We’re nearly at the top of the list. There are two talented writers here jostling for a position at the top of the totem pole. Some say that 13 is an unlucky number, but I don’t agree! I’ve read 13 books from each of these two!

• Charlaine Harris
  • Sookie Stackhouse Series #1-11
  • A touch of Dead (Sookie Stackhouse extras!)
  • Night’s Edge (Sookie Stackhouse extras)
• James Patterson
  • The Alex Cross Series #1, 3, 4, 9, 11 and 14 (yep that’s a bit strange!)
  • The Women’s Murder Club Series
  • Maximum Ride Series
  • Hide and Seek
  • Sail

Who will be in the top seat? Stay tuned to find out in the coming days…
