Top Ten Tuesday is hosted by the lovely people at
The Broke and the Bookish. This week's topic is -
Top Ten Nine Books I Wish Had Sequels
This was a tough one, I don't seem to have read many stand-alone books recently so I'm not so sure about this list. Poison, sadly, will be a stand-alone novel for obvious reasons but the rest I wasn't finished with the characters/world and want/demand more! Also, The Disappeared is cheating a bit as I've just found out there is a sequel but it's not until next year and I want it now...
 |
| We Have Always Lived In The Castle - Shirley Jackson |
 |
| If You Find Me - Emily Murdoch |
 |
| Pride & Prejudice - Jane Austen |
 |
| The Book Thief - Markus Zusak |
 |
| The Disappeared - C J Harper |
 |
| Golden - Jessi Kirby |
What's on your list??? Sequel lover or stand-alone fan?
Oh, yes, I definitely agree with Pride & Prejudice! I'm not sure it gets much better than that, you know?! But more Darcy and Lizzie...sold!

Thanks for stopping by and for the follow! I'll freely admit to reading P&P sequels, rewrites and pretty much anything but it's just not the same. A sequel would/might have worked if it was Ms. Austen but P&P still remains one of my favorite books of all time :)
DeleteYay for The Book Thief! I wanted to know more about Max and what happened to him. He kind of became a side character when he wasn't even mentioned in the epilogue (from what I remember). I have yet to finish Pride and Prejudice. I know I know, a friend already exclaimed to me "But it's Lizzy!" so I should probably get on that!
ReplyDeleteThank you for stopping by my blog! I hope you enjoy Emperor of Thorns!
Cheers,

Great list! I agree with P&P and the Book thief, I'd love to read more about their world and characters:)

I would totally read a sequel to Poison or The Book Thief! Great list!
ReplyDelete-Scott Reads It!
I found this list very hard too. I would read a sequel to The Book Thief!
ReplyDeleteGolden made my list, too. I'd love to follow Parker into her post high school years. I would have loved a sequel to P&P, but only if Jane wrote it. Great list!

Yes, I would definitely be down for more Darcy & Elizabeth. A P&P sequel would make me super happy :)
ReplyDeleteI Capture the Castle! Have you seen the movie adaptation? It's a rare one where I think they both did the book justice and made it better. *happy sigh*
ReplyDeleteFi, I almost included If You Find Me. I was pretty satisfied with the ending, but Lyn wasn't and I am surprised it didn't make her list, actually!
ReplyDeleteIf You Find Me was one of my 5-star books this year, and I was going to include it on this list. But I had so much hope for Carey and Nessa at the end, and I think they're going to be OK. :) Really, I just want to read whatever Emily Murdoch writes next.
ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting!
