I think of a favorite author as one who, a decade or more after reading his/her books I still think about them and have plans to re-read them.
Just because I'm enjoying someone's book today doesn't mean I'll remember it in the future.
I've been re-reading Grace Metalious' books since the 1950s. The same for Pearl S. Buck's books and Nevil Shute's books. And a few others. Those are favorites.
When I was younger I really enjoyed reading books by Richard S. Prather and I re-read one a couple of years ago after not reading one for decades. It wasn't bad but I probably won't read any more of them.
I guess to me, favorite means more than that I'm currently enjoying their books.
