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 I Loved But Never Reviewed

 Reviewed is a strong word. I've mostly stopped doing formal book reviews except for author requests and/or when I feel like it, but I usually give some description and or opinions of books I'm reading, usually multiple times, through weekly and monthly wrap-ups. I do find that it' s more difficult to review my absolute favorite books than books I either disliked or engaged with strongly on an intellectual rather than emotional level. For example, I rarely review poetry beyond "I loved it'" or "Meh." It's much easier to explain criticism of vocabulary usage or a plot device than explain how the book felt like a snug little snow globe. So, for this Top Ten Tuesday , I'm listing books that I loved, didn't give a formal review, and (I think) didn't discuss too much.  Books I Loved But Never Reviewed A Closed and Common Orbit by Becky Chambers Tess of the Road by Rachel Hartman We Are Okay by Nina LaCour The Broken Earth Trilogy by N.K.

Cozy Snowy Books and Books I Want for Hanukkah

 As usual, it's that time again to adjust the Top Ten Tuesday topic because tonight is the third night of Hanukkah. Hanukkah always starts on the 25th of Kislev but that sometimes needs some adjusting on the Gregorian calendar. Happy third night to my fellow celebrants, and happy almost-winter and/or winter holidays to everyone else! Since I also missed last week's topic, I've decided to share some cozy snowy reads--the topic was books set in snowy places but Jana added cozy and I like that as well-- to get into the wintery mood as well as some books I'd like for Hanukkah. Books Set in (Cozy) Snowy Places Love You a Latke by Amanda Elliott--This one is set during Hanukkah in Maine and NYC, so lots of cozy snow and wintry scenes in this evocative Hanukkah romance--and yes, it does involve a lot of food... The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe by C.S. Lewis--Narnia is, of course, not an entirely nice place when the Pevensie children enter it, yet Mr. Tumnus, Mr. and Mrs....

Books That Conjure Up Happy Memories

Happy Top Ten Tuesday!  I'm trying to get back in the swing. This one is asking for a bit more work than usual since I can't just pull up Goodreads, which I've only had as an adult. I do still have some of these on the shelves at least. Books That Conjure Up Happy Memories  The Source by James Michener-- Going to Barnes & Noble with my grandpa who wanted to pick out this book for me since he thought I would enjoy it (he was right) Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants by Ann Brashares--My friend lending me the first 2 books at camp The Chronicles of Narnia by C.S. Lewis--Reading these aloud with my dad The books by she who must not be named--Reading these aloud with my brother A Wrinkle in Time by Madeleine L'Engle--Finding this in the children's section of a library I went to as a kid The Mixed-Up Files of Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler--Reading this as a kid, teaching it as an adult, and sharing with other adults who appreciated it in one of my book clubs Last Day on M...
