You know, I could have sworn I had done this topic for Top Ten Tuesday (as always hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl) before but I can’t find it in my Top Ten Tuesday history. Curious. Regardless I’ll be looking into seeing which authors I’ve read the most books by. Goodreads discontinued the most read authors page so there might be a bit of error here.
Over the years I’ve read a bunch of books by authors, but especialy at the start I think I read more by what was popular than what I really wanted to read. I think that is still partially represented in this list. I clearly need to read POC authors backlists.
