It is time once again to take a look at the authors I have read the most, dating back to high school. This year, I’m once again on pace to set a new record for books read in a year, so I thought it would be nice to take a deeper dive into those books I’ve read through August of this year. Since our last check-in, I’ve read an additional 114 books, so there should be some movement over the past two years. Without further ado, it’s time to take another look and see if my “favorite” authors have changed much over the years. We continue today with the ten authors I’ve read two times, an increase of three from two years ago.
Serpent’s Storm – Amber Benson
Amber Benson
The former Buffy the Vampire Slayer star checks in with the five entries in her Calliope Reaper-Jones fantasy series.
Dan Brown
Brown, who became a publishing superstar with the release of The DaVinci Code in 2003, has a new Robert Langdon book due out later this year.
Diane Carey
First read in 1991, she was a stalwart of the Star Trek: The Next Generation novel line, which accounted for four of her five entries.
The Night Shift – Alex Finlay
Alex Finlay
Five books in four years, including Parents Weekend from earlier this year, have pushed Finlay up this list.
Jeff Mariotte
The former WildStorm VP and DC editor stands pat with his entries from the Buffy and Angel series of novels.
Kimberly McCreight
A New York Times bestselling author thanks to her debut novel, Reconstructing Amelia, she has been a steady presence since 2013.
Yvonne Navarro
All five of the Chicago native’s works that I’ve read revisit the Buffy the Vampire Slayer universe.
We Solve Murders – Richard Osman
Richard Osman
An English television presenter, Osman turned his efforts to fiction in 2020 with The Thursday Murder Club, which I came across in 2022.
Tom Perrotta
A nice two-book jump for the American novelist and screenwriter, whose works have a tendency to wind up on screen.
William Shatner
The actor best known for his role as Captain Kirk in Star Trek checks in with his efforts, whatever they may have been, both with his TekWar series and on two Star Trek novels.
