Top Ten Tuesday: Authors I Own The Most Books From

Ten Authors I Own The Most Books From
This one was pretty hard to figure out because a lot of my books are packed in boxes as I live in an apartment with only one bookcase, and I don't mark books as "owned" on Goodreads consistently. Also, my most read authors list doesn't necessarily correspond because I borrow most of the books I read from the library.



1. R.L. Stine
Over 50 Books
I think I own almost all of the 62 books in the original series of Goosebumps. I also own some of the spin-off series like Give Yourself Goosebumps. Apparently I was an obsessive reader even as a child.



2. Nora Roberts a.k.a. J.D. Robb
Over 30 Books
I've read through around 30 of the J.D. Robb series, In Death, and I own most of them as the library didn't have all of them, and I love Susan Ericksen's narration. I also pick up a lot of Roberts' books whenever I see them on sale at Audible or at book sales so there is really no telling how many are stashed in boxes somewhere.

Top Ten Tuesday: Things on My Reading Wishlist

Top Ten Things on My Reading Wishlist
My wishlist this week is about the perfect lead female character with five characteristics I wish more female leads had and five characteristics I don’t want to see in a female lead. There are a lot of authors who get their bad-ass heroines just right, and there are some authors who need to shake up their heroines. I don’t need a female character turning into a ball-buster or into a stubborn know-it-all with a propensity for too-stupid-to-die actions. I just need a strong, independent lead who can take care of herself and those that she loves.

5 Things I like to see in my heroines:

1. Intelligence
See Hermione Granger from the Harry Potter series by J.K. Rowling

2. Healthy self esteem
3. Just Being Plain Good at Your Job
See Eve Dallas from the In Death series by J.D. Robb

4. Saving the Man Instead of Needing to be Saved
