This week, The Broke and the Bookish is talking about the authors we own the most books from. I’m going strictly by physical books, because I’m too lazy to go through my kindle books, but I don’t think it would change things too much. Since really all it takes is for an author to write a trilogy plus one other book to be included on this list, there is a distinct lack of YA because I either don’t own the full trilogy, or I own too many trilogies to include them all. These are all the authors that I own more than a trilogies worth of books.
- Neil Gaiman – 18 – I’m counting the Sandman graphic novels
- JK Rowling – 8 – Harry Potter + The Beetle and the Bard
- Margaret Atwood – 7
- Megan McCafferty – 5
- Kurt Vonnegut – 5
- Libba Bray – 5
- John Steinbeck – 5: When I moved to Salinas/Monterey I went a little Steinbeck crazy trying to immerse myself in the town. It was the first place I’d ever lived that wasn’t the place I grew up, so I went a bit overboard. Plus, I love Steinbeck. I read The Grapes of Wrath in high school and briefly thought about becoming a long haul trucker.
- George RR Martin – 5
- Tom Robbins – 5
- Laurie Notaro – 4
- Catherynne M Valente – 4
