So who's your top two favorite authors? Mine are Marie Lu and Leigh Bardugo

[L.C.]

Currently, it's Laini Taylor and Elizabeth May :)

[Lorena]

Sarah J. Maas and that's it

[Devann]

Seanan McGuire (who also writes under Mira Grant) is by far my favorite author, and also my most-read with 44 books. Rick Riordan is my other favorite author [and also next most-read with 28 books]

[Sarah]

Marrisa Meyer and John Grisham

[Valerie]

Patrick Rothfuss and Laini Taylor

[Ann aka Iftcan]

Andre Norton and Sir Terry Pratchett

[Reynar]

Robert E. Howard and Neil Gaiman

Note the second name can and does change, but Robert E. Howard always remains.

[Angela]

Wow, this is hard, but I will say S.E. Hinton and Jodi Picoult. They have both inspired me!

[Linda]

Alice Hoffman and Frederick Backman

[Kristen]

I have to say J. R. R. Tolkien and Terry Pratchett.

[Aiden (The Book Scourge)]

Neil Gaiman and V.E. Schwab

[Audrey]

Too hard! I guess Brandon Sanderson and Michael J. Sullivan.

[Laura (thebookcorps)]

C.S. Pacat and Cassandra Clare!!!

[Amy]

Its hard to pick just 2 because I love so many but i think ill have to go with Tamora Pierce and Matthew Reilly

[Trish]

Oooh, this is hard to answer, but I think I'd narrow it down to J.K. Rowling and Stephen King. Neil Gaiman is a very close third, though.

[⭐Anny⭐ (Book Princess)]

Marie Lu is definitely among my favourites. As for a number 2, I can't decide but I'll say Leigh Bardugo.

[Melliott]

Ever? or now? Wow.

[Muskaan]

Agatha Christie and I can't choose the other there are a lot I like

[Abi]

Rachel Caine and Brandon Sanderson

[hisjdkhfg]

Leigh Bardugo is my favourite and then probably J.K Rowling or Maggie Stiefvater. I love all of their books so much :D

[Diana]

Rick Riordan and JK Rowling :))

[dolly]

David Sedaris and Emily Brontë

[Lara]

Heyer Georgette and Terry Pratchett


oo and Maggie Stiefvater and Eoin Colfer as very close runners up!

[Ann aka Iftcan]

OOhhh, I hadn't thought about Georgette Heyer. I've read her for years and years and years. And still go back periodically and re-read her, simply because, well, her wit is wonderful and her characters are fun and the type of person I'd love to have met in rl.

But that puts me at 3. And there are a few others that I have loved for many years and should probably give a nod to.

Robert A. Heinlein I started reading him back in the dark ages when the world depended on candles (at least, that's what the grandkids think. Of course, one of them asked me very seriously when he was very young "What were dinosaurs like, Grandmommy?")

Edgar Rice Burroughs I stole my older than me by 5 years brother's Tarzan of the Apes and A Princess of Mars books when I was 9 and I have been reading and re-reading them ever since.

Anne McCaffrey I have an autographed, first edition copy of her first sale (that's per HER, btw) Restoree as well as the PERN books, the Crystal Singer books, the Tower books the. . .

Those are the ones that I can think of right off the top of my head. The ones that I've loved for almost my entire life and that I go back to when I want a comfort read.

[Melliott]

That's a great way to judge if you really love an author—if you reread their books. I, too, love Heyer, and have reread every one at least three times. Ditto on Heinlein, and McCaffrey. I would also add to the list Ursula LeGuin and Dick Francis. I can't figure Dick Francis out. They are all written to a specific formula—there's always a good guy, some bad guys, a mystery, a woman with whom the good guy becomes involved, and a positive resolution, and they all take place in the world of horse-racing. You would think, If you've read one, you've read them all. But they're all completely different despite their formula (sort of like Heyer, I guess) and completely engaging for multiple reads! I guess some authors are just like that.

[Danni]

Carol goodman & tally bagshawe with the Sidney Sheldon stories

[Stephen]

J.R.R.Tolkien & Shaun Hutson

[A.]

Terribly tough to pick just two... but these ones in particular stand out to me, and have and I believe always will stay with me in a profound way. So here goes =)

1) Charlotte Brontë!!!! Charlotte Brontë

2) & of course, the lovely Celia Rees Celia Rees

(J.K. Rowling's in there, too-AND MORE- but I can only name two. This takes some serious reflection and self-control, the latter I'm not quite sure I possess where this is concerned... but these two female authors have written stories that have meant worlds to me. ;)

[Liss]

Tarryn Fisher and Cassandra Clare

[Born To]

tillie cole and Tarryn Fisher ( although I could have said ten more names)

[Megan]

J. R. R. Tolkien and Becky Albertalli

[Jessica]

Tamora Pierce from since I was a kid, and nowadays since she started punching me in the heart Courtney Summers.

[TAY]

J.K. Rowling and Cassandra Clare

I grew up reading their books. They will forever have a special place in my heart.

[Audrey]

Marie lu and Leigh bardugo

[Alaa]

J.K Rowling and Leigh Bardugo.

[Lara]

Marissa Meyer is my absolute favourite, I would say Leigh Bardugo is second. (Sorry to all my other faves...)

Eric Van Lustbader and Lee Child?

[quq]

Amie Kaufman/Meagan Spooner and Alexandra Bracken … there are tons more though
