Most owned authors

My most owned authors, of the books I have in my flat. I'm pretty sure I own like 15+ books by Merja Jalo, but they're in boxes in my family's house. Horse books, because that's basically all I read when I was young. Horse books and Harry Potter.

...Here is the top 5, with three authors in the fifth place.

1. J.K. Rowling with 22 books. The complete Harry Potter series in Finnish and English, and the first four in German, and the school books. And the Casual Vacancy. I grew up with Harry Potter, and I believe it was Harry Potter that got me into reading. And these were the first ever books I read in English back when I was like 13-14.

2. Cassandra Clare with 10 books. The complete Mortal Instruments and the Infernal Devices series. And the Bane Chronicles.

3. Lemony Snicket with 9 books. A Series of Unfortunate Events, books 1-7, 11, and 13. Last one in English as I bought it when I was in London in 2008. Still haven't read it, I think I've read like the first ten or something, but I'm not sure. I really need to read these again, and preferably try to find the missing ones and buy those to complete my collection.

4. Stephenie Meyer with 7 books. Twilight, New Moon and Eclipse in Finnish, Twilight, Eclipse and Breaking Dawn in English. And the Host (in English), which is one of my favourite books ever. Way better than Twilight. I didn't get the last one in Finnish because the translation in Eclipse was really bad, and because the book sucked, so I didn't want to spend money on a book I knew was bad.

5. Christopher Paolini, Cecelia Ahern and Neil Gaiman with 6 books. And look, three of my favourite authors, together! The Inheritance Cycle by Paolini is another series I kind of grew up with. I have the complete series in English, and the first two in Finnish. Then I have six random books by Cecelia Ahern and Neil Gaiman, who are like my top two faves, with Gaiman on the top. Oh, one book by Ahern is in two languages, as I own it in Finnish and in German. Other than that, I own books in English and in Finnish. Neil Gaiman I do prefer to read in English, but I have Stardust in Finnish because it was cheap.

So, that's about it. I really like the photo, I'm so happy it turned out okay. I had a vision of how I wanted to the picture to look like, and it turned out just like I wanted, with a massive pile of books for J.K. Rowling in the first place. ;) And even better, most of these authors are actually my favourites.
