Top Ten Authors I Own The Most Books From

I remembered answering this question way back, it turns out it wasn't a Top Ten,but a different meme.

1. Jane Austen

I own all six of Austen's novels, plus a copy of Sandition and Other Stories. I have three copies of Pride and Prejudice, three copies of Northanger Abbey, plus two each of Emma, Sense and Sensibility, Mansfield Park, and Persuasion. So that's...15 physical books.

2. C.S. Lewis

I own 11 of Lewis' books, including the Chronicles of Narnia and the Space Trilogy.

3. J.R.R. Tolkien

I own three copies of The Fellowship of the Ring, one of The Two Towers, two of The Return of the King, two of The Hobbit, two of The Silmarillion, and a book of short stories. So that's 11 physical books on my shelves. One LOTR set may technically belong to my dad.

4. L. M. Montgomery

I own 10 of Montgomery's books, including the entire Anne of Green Gables series.

5. J.K. Rowling

I own all 7 of the Harry Potter books.

6. Frank Herbert

I own all 6 of the original Dune books.

7. Madeleine L'Engle

Let's see, I own A Wrinkle in Time, Many Waters, Certain Women, Dragons in the Night, The Joys of Love, A Circle of Quiet-6 total. I've read many more of her books and hope to own them someday.

8. Ann Brashares

I have all 4 of the original Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants series, plus Sisterhood Everlasting and My Name Is Memory-6 books.

9. Louisa May Alcott

I have all 3 of the March family books, plus the two Rose books-5 in total.

There are other authors whose books I own two of, but I think those are all the bigger collections.

We have C.S. Lewis, J.R.R. Tolkien and Madeleine L'Engle in common. =) I've mostly stuck to her YA novels, though; I haven't read the others you've mentioned.

If you count the Little Women and Good Wives as two books (as I do =P), then you can say that you have six Louisa May Alcott books! I only have the four March family books, though, because I borrowed her other stuff from the library.

Jane Austen didn't make my list, but she got an honourable mention because I own all of her six completed novels and shes the heavyweight of my classics section. =)

Books with Single-Word Titles

Happy Top Ten Tuesday over at That Artsy Reader Girl! Books with Single-Word Titles These are all my favorite books that I could think of with one-word titles. A lot of fantasy, a few nonfiction (minus subtitles) and Kindred , whether you consider it scifi or historical fiction. Also two portmanteaus using the word "bitter." I suppose it's a word that lends itself to amelioration. 1. Sweetbitter by Stephanie Danler 2. Bitterblue by Kristin Cashore 3. Fire by Kristin Cashore 4. Heartless by Marissa Meyer 5. Inheritance by Christopher Paolini 6. Meditations by Marcus Aurelius 7. Stoned by Aja Raden (has a subtitle) 8. Educated by Tara Westover 9. Fledgling by Octavia Butler 10. Kindred by Octavia Butler

Book Review: The Speed of Clouds by Miriam Seidel

Book Review: The Speed of Clouds by Miriam Seidel *To Be Released from New Door Books on April 10, 2018* Mindy Vogel is haunted by the future. In frequent daydreams, she toggles between her real, wheelchair-bound life and the adventurous life of her fanfic alter ego, SkyLog officer Kat Wanderer. She's haunted by all that Kat can do which she cannot---belong to an organization of comrades, walk, and fall in love---yet. Because at twenty-four, Mindy's future is very much ahead of her, wheelchair notwithstanding. Through Mindy's "SkyLog" fanzine and related emails, Seidel evokes Star Trek fandom around the turn of the millenium, but also creates a new and compelling science fictional universe, similar to what Rainbow Rowell's Fangirl  does for the Harry Potter fandom with "Simon Snow." Mindy is among the pioneers transitioning fandom from print to digital, boldly encountering like-minded individuals from the comfort of her chair behind the monito

Books On My Summer 2024 TBR

 I've been fairly successful with my reading goals so far this year (40 out of 42 read!), but I still have some goals to catch up on or exceed (books by authors of color and women in translation). I've also got my book club books, and I'll throw a few new and/or summery titles into the mix for inspiration. Hoping to read many of these outside, basking in beautiful weather! Happy Top Ten Tuesday! Books On My Summer 2024 TBR She's Up to No Good by Sara Goodman Confino--This is technically for a book club, although I probably won't be able to attend the meeting.  I've heard so many good things about this one, and it looks like a good summer read, so I'm planning to read it anyway. Midnight in Siberia: A Train Journey into the Heart of Russia by David Greene (Book club read)--I already have it out of the library, but have to get on this one! It sounds very interesting but nonfiction usually takes me a little longer. The Edge of Lost by Kristina McMorris (Book cl
