The authors I read the most books from over the course of a year have become one of my favorite stats to track and predict, and 2023 is no exception.

1. Rachel Harrison – 5 books

2023 really became the year of Rachel Harrison! I read 3 books from her in the first month of the year, and that just made me want to keep reading her. Unfortunately, I’ve now exhausted her backlist.

2. Olivie Blake – 4 books

I believe Olivie Blake was one of my predictions for my most-read author of the year, and she came so close! I absolutely love her books and writing style, and luckily have plenty more to read from her in 2024.

3. Chloe Liese – 3 books

3. Tessa Bailey – 3 books

There was a point at which I’d given up on Tessa Bailey, and then I changed my mind. Which was lucky, because Wreck the Halls became one of my favorite romances of the year.

3. Alexis Hall – 3 books

4. Ali Hazelwood – 2 books (one was a re-read)

4. R.F. Kuang – 2 books, and a new-to-me author

4. Gwendolyn Kiste – 2 books, and a new-to-me author

4. Rebecca Yarros – 2 books, in a series, and a new-to-me author

4. T. Kingfisher – 2 books

4. Ilona Andrews – 2 books, and a past favorite author

4. C.L. Polk – 2 books, and a new-to-me author

 

 

Most-read authors of 2024 predictions:

Olivie Blake. She came in second in 2023, and is one of my current favorite authors. The amazing thing is that she has 2 new releases in 2024 on my radar, and also a deep backlist of books that sound incredible.

Ali Hazelwood. I feel lucky that not only are 2 new Ali Hazelwood books coming out in 2024, but I also have a 2023 release still to pick up.
