The Grey Coat Hospital's 12 most borrowed authors January- April 2014

Top 12 most borrowed authors January- April 2014

12 Jeff Kinney [10]
11 Louise Rennison [5]
10 Cathy Cassidy [6]
9 Anne Cassidy [New Entry]
8 Ally Carter [New Entry]
7 Mary Hooper [8]
6 Meg Cabot [3]
5 Cassandra Clare [New Entry]
4 Sophie McKenzie [7]
3 Malorie Blackman [4]
2 Robert Muchamore [2]
1 Jacqueline Wilson [1]


Jacqueline Wilson and Robert Muchamore keep their top spots, but the number of loans is much closer than last time we looked – Jacqueline is only 8 issues ahead on 153.
Nice to see some new entries, Cassandra Clare’s Mortal Instruments series has been widely recommended, and Ally Carter’s spy girls have found a whole new audience in year 7.
Did you notice that 10 out of the 12 are women?
Honourable mentions to John Green at no.14 – if we had enough copies of The Fault in our Stars for the people waiting to have one each, then he’d be much further up the list! (there are 10 copies and they are constantly out!)

And still in the top hundred most loaned authors are J R R Tolkien, Agatha Christie, Enid Blyton and  C S Lewis – you can’t keep a good book down!
