This week’s topic for Top Ten Tuesday over at the Broke and the Bookish is ’10 authors that I own the most books of’.

This is a surprising one and doesn’t necessarily reflect my favourite authors – more it reflects that sometimes you get caught up in a series that becomes much longer than you anticipated.  Or, being a bit of a book geek – sometimes you just collect things!  That being said there are some very entertaining series below and some seriously good authors.

So:

1. Charles Dickens – I have a set of books that contain his complete collection (with one book missing unfortunately).  And, ashamedly I’ve so far only read Great Expectations and A Christmas Carol!  How very bad am I.
2. Rachel Caine – Morganville Vampires – 15 books in all and once I’d started I had to finish.  This was an entertaining series although I can’t deny I never expected it to be this many books!
3. Charlaine Harris – Sookie Stackhouse series 13 books in total  (plus two other books that I haven’t read by the same author from the Cemetery Girl series – so 15 books and a tie with Rachel Caine.
4. Jim Butcher – Dresden Files – I’ve read up to and including No.7 but own up to No.11 – so clearly expecting to continue liking this one!  So far so good.
5. Patricia Briggs Mercy Thompson series – own and read the first 8 books and still enjoying the series so set to continue with this one and increase the collection.
6. Joanne Harris – I think I have 8 or 9 books by this author.  I enjoy her works and always keep an eye out for what she’s up to next.  Most recent novel – the Gospel of Loki, probably the most famous book Chocolat.
7. Alice Hoffman – own and have read at least 8 of her books.  An author I very much enjoy.
8. Jane Austen – six novels.  Pride and Prejudice, Sense and Sensibility, Northanger Abbey, Mansfield Park, Emma and Persuasion – no further description needed.
9. Daphne Du Maurier – six books – Rebecca being one of my absolute favourites of all time.
10. Kevin Hearne – The Iron Druid Chronicles.  A very enjoyable series which I will definitely continue reading – currently own six books.
