Also, name the books if you can, ones with 5 stars or close to 5 stars (if you rarely gave one).
Any genre, fiction or nonfiction.
Book in the same series counts, if an author has like 20+ books in a series, and at least 3 of them get 5 stars then it counts

Toni Morrison. *The Bluest Eye, Beloved, Song of Solomon, Sula.* (I’ll go four).
Han Kang: *Human Acts, The Vegetarian, We Do Not Part.*
Kazuo Ishiguro: *Remains of the Day, Never Let Me Go, Klara and the Sun.* (Okay, five is pushing it on *Klara*).
Barbara Kingsolver: *Demon Copperhead, The Poisonwood Bible, Animal Dreams.*
Terry Pratchett
This is such a good question!!!
Kazuo Ishiguro and Toni Morrison for sure, as someone else already commented.
Kurt Vonnegut: *Cat’s Cradle* and *Mother Night* for sure. *Slaughterhouse 5* would be pushing the 5 stars for me but many would disagree.
Honorary mention: Donna Tartt (I’ve only read *The Secret History* and *The Goldfinch* but they’re 4.7-star reads at least lol.)
Robert Jordan’s the Wheel of Time. Not a perfect series but one of my favorites. Off the top of my head I’d rate books 3, 6, and 11 as five stars (The Dragon Reborn, The Lord of Chaos, and Knife of Dreams).
Martha Wells, I genuinely enjoy every book in her Murderbot Diaries, so that’s like 4 Novellas and 1 Novel at 5 stars. (there is another Novella and Novel, I just haven’t gotten to them yet.)
James Baldwin: Go Tell it on the Mountain, Giovanni’s Room, The Fire Next Time
Stephen King: The stand, Revival, and Eyes of the dragon
John Steinbeck: Grapes of Wrath, Of mice and men, East of Eden
Revival is the scariest book I have read in a while. Slow burn, but man that ending is the stuff of nightmares. East of Eden is my favorite book of all time.
