Top 12 favorite authors

Ever since posting about my favorite reads of 2021, I have been thinking about telling you all about my favorite authors... Spoiler alert- I have a few....

I have read a lot of books, and when I say a lot, I mean A LOT. According to my kindle reading insights, since 2019, I have read a total of 761 books, with 327 of them being just in 2021. Yeah, I really meant A LOT. So it's fair to say that I have read a bunch of different books by different authors. In that time, I have come to realize who exactly they are, and exactly who my top twelve favorite authors are.

1. Tate James

I was introduced to Tate in October 2019, with Broken Wings, a dark romance series that she co-wrote with Jaymin Eve. After that I was hooked. I love Tate's writing- it's funny, it's sad, it's hilarious at times. She is such a fantastic writer that I saw myself reading my very first reverse harem with her! To date, I have read a total of 20 of Tate's books:

3. Meagan Brandy

I was introduced to Meagan in Nov 2019 with the first book of the Brayshaw series- Boys of Brayshaw High. The Brayshaw series is a new adult romance (or as I like to say, enemies to lovers) that features a bad-ass FMC and a hunky MMC to go along with her. Meagan writes romance- enemies to lovers, bully, etc. To date I have read 8 of Meagan's books:
