@courtcan I'm not even sure there are as many as 5 authors from whom I've read more than 5 books each (and in every case it's because they wrote a series of 5+ books that I liked). I bet this is a question that only a small minority of readers will be able to answer.

@diazona @courtcan I probably couldn't do this off the top of my head, but librarything says that I there are 58 authors in my collection for whom I own more than 5 books.

@diazona Most of my >5 reads came from various series they wrote. I read in nearly every genre, so it's a rare year when I read more than one or two books from any particular author.

@courtcan Makes sense. I feel like that's a lot even when most of them come from series though.

FWIW even as someone who reads mostly within a few specific genres, it's quite rare that I read more than one book by a single author.
