The first author I had to read everything by was Francine Pascal and her Sweet Valley High series when I was about 14 or 15. I still have so many of the SVH books that I need more shelf space.

Currently it's Kathryn Le Veque. She has written some of the best historical novels I've ever read. I would recommend reading them in chronological order as many characters cross over to other books. I would begin with de Lohr Dynasty.

The same here. After this I went through all the books of Agatha Christie that were available in our town library. I remember how I loved solving the crimes and trying to guess who killed. I was also a teenager when reading them but I still remember how much I enjoyed them. I found Christie a little bit more engaging than Conan Doyle, but I enjoyed the darkness in his books.

The first author I ever got that "MUST READ ALL" vibe from was Lurlene McDaniel. Her books make you go through a vast amount of emotions: laugh, cry, anger, etc. As a kid, I would more often than not be found with one of her books anywhere I was. To this day, even though they are shorter reads, I still enjoy pulling one of her titles out of my bookshelf and re-reading it. They never bore me!

Abbas mahmoud alaqad , he was one of my writers hero , I read all of his works which especially talk about philosophy, humanity , religion , and of course logic.
My favorite work from alaqad is "alabqaryat" which means "The geniuses".

Susanna Kearsley. Once I read The Winter Sea by her, I loved her historical detail, style, and characters and had to read the rest of her work.

Ellen Hopkins! She writes in poem style but a YA novel with a storyline. Her book Crank made me want to read all her books. I almost read through them all!
The second was Gillian Flynn! I loved her dark mysteries.

Colleen Hoover. And I guess she will always be that author for me whose every book I would want to read.
Imagine if we had no secrets, no respite from the truth. What if everything was laid bare the moment, we introduced ourselves?

Dostoevsky. After reading Crime and Punishment, I was so freaked out that I had to read all the Russian writer's books in no time. We have to give more credit to authors (even if we don't like them so much) who arouse the love of reading in millions of people. I'm sure J.K Rowling has transformed the lives of millions of people.

Previously I had to read all Patricia Cornwell's books as I love a good mystery/detective story. At the moment, I am enjoying Holley Gerth's books. She is a Christian writer and I find her books very helpful and encouraging. One can read as little or as much as one has time for at a time and always feel that it has been an uplifting experience. She understands what her readers need.

The first book series I can remember reading was Geronimo Stilton. The librarian would have to order new books for my friends and me since we would finish two or three books each day.

Dudu Busani-Dube. I enjoyed the Hlomu series so much that every time she releases a new book in that series, I have to get my hands on it. Dorothy May Mercer is a very recent favourite as well and I will be soon trying to get my hands on as much of her work as possible.
