For me it's J.D. Robb. She has close to 50 books and I've read all of them because I found them so outstanding. She created a character that I can't help but become attached to. I feel the need to keep watching her life progress and change throughout all the novels

Michelle Hodkin! After reading the first book in the Mara Dyer trilogy, I knew that I had to get my hands on the rest of the series RIGHT THEN AND THERE!

Tolkien, I finished The Hobit when I was six, and children of hurin several years ago, but I read everything available by him even before the children of hurin was published.

Before I got involved with eBooks, I bought and read MOST of Janet Evanovich, lots of Charlaine Harris, all of the Robert Jordan's Wheel of Time series, J.K. Rawlings, L. Ron Hubbard. So many!
Since Kindle:
C.C. Hunter, who wrote the series "Shadows Falls", teen paranormal books were such fun! I read them as fast as I could and recommended them to all the young people I knew.
I enjoyed C. Gockel, who wrote the I Bring the Fire series, which is almost like reading Norse mythology comic books in novel form, not as clean or teen oriented as Hunter's books and
lately I am reading the Dukes of War series by Erica Ripley, all Regency Romance and great fun, though the third one is the only one that had me laughing out loud.

I read the collection of Berenstain children books ,Alice Walker and Chinua Achebe ,I have read all his books not because of his post-colonial and historical subject matter but because he always finds a way to inspire his readers.

Laura Ingalls Wilder's Little House on the Prairie books. I was hooked right from the start and almost a half-century later I still read them. Sure the books are a little tattered and some pages a little worse for wear but the words are there not only bringing me pleasure but childhood memories.

Jodi Picoult was the first author I had to read "everything" by, from the time I read one of her books (My Sister's Keeper) as part of the required summer reading during high school. To this day, I have every book by her on my bookshelves and have read them multiple times. My family knows to tell me if any of them hear of a new book of hers coming out, but usually I will know about it ahead of time. I have even read a play she wrote with her son and a Wonder Woman comic that she wrote, even though I do not typically read plays or comics. I can reliably become immersed in her books, so I will probably always need to read everything by her.

I genuinely feel slightly embarrassed to admit this :oops: because a lot of people don't enjoy her popular series. For me, it was Stephanie Meyers when I was about 13 I was a cutthroat little Twilight fan, and that was her main work she had a variety of books under the series. I had every single one and I often reread the books I remember just devouring the words :techie-studyingbrown: when I was forced to sit outside during the summer. :lol2: Good times, honestly.

Wendy Mass when I was 10. This is when my love for reading developed and I still remember reading the books. After they became to childish for me, it changed to Alex Flinn.
