January 24, 2017: Top Ten Authors I’ve Read the Most Books From
Going through my Goodreads, I noted that most of the books I read were well before I noticed that New Adult (NA) was an ever-growing genre targeted toward people in their early twenties to mid-thirties.
This new batch of authors is slowly making a name for themselves, so maybe my list of authors will grow in a few years. So, here is a list of the Top Five authors I’ve read the most books from in this new-to-me genre.
1. Nora Roberts I have read nearly everything Nora Roberts has written and just as many novels with her pen name J.D. Robb (the In Death series), I will continue to read whatever she wants to come out with in the future.
2. Phyllis Reynolds Naylor Alice, I love Alice. I found Phyllis Reynolds Naylor at 14 in High school, and I have read each Alice book from then on. It’s the only book I can say I read as I was growing up.
3. Julia Quinn, I love historical romance novels. I had a good two years where I read nothing but historical fiction. Now, I go back to it every once in a while after exhausting Julia Quinn and Mary Balogh. Haven’t someone good enough to replace them.
4. Carly Phillips This was a great stage where I was in the mood for witty, charming HEA novels. Carly Phillips is a good re-read author.
5. Penny Reid I recently just found her novels, and I enjoyed them so much, she is both funny, and her characters are quirky, and I’ve started a knitting club because of her Knitting in the City series.

January 24, 2017 at 23:32Hi! I like the Alice books too! Louise Rennison and Sarah Dessen are two of my most read authors–at least based on the number of books by them that I own! 🙂

January 24, 2017 at 16:53Wow, I actually haven’t read any of these authors. /o\
One of my most-read authors is Juliet Marillier. She writes fantasy, but they’re also historical romances, so you might like them! I recommend starting with Daughter of the Forest. 🙂
