Novelist Recommendations Based on 10+ Years of Top Tens

I've published Top Ten lists of books I read each year since 2013. For this list, I took each book, plugged it in to Ebsco's NoveList and pulled out four readalikes, trying to avoid duplication. So any book at number 1 or 6 comes from one of my Top Tens, the following four are the readalikes for that book.
This would have been an even 550 books but NoveList didn't have T. Kingfisher's Summer in Orcus in the database.
