Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme/original feature hosted by The Broke and the Bookish. Click the link to go to their site to see the original list for today plus links to a whole slew of other blogs. After you read mine, of course.
So I'm sure I'll be stalking at least some TTT posts today, but today is also the last day I have to finish (I'm such a procrastinator) school work for my LAST graduate class *woot, woot*, so most of the day will probably be spent in a hair-pulling, cold-sweat frenzy, but I promise to visit all those who drop by as soon as I can. Happy Tuesday, everyone.
Today's topic is: Books I wish had a sequel
Disreputable History of Frankie Landau-Banks by E. Lockhart
I think this book is pure perfection as is, but I could read about Frankie all day. She was only a sophomore when she shook up her school the way she does here. Imagine her as a senior...or in college.
This is What Happy Looks Like by Jennifer E. Smith
I really enjoyed this inconspicuous summer romance, but the ending was a bit ambiguous. I'd love to know what happens next between the sweet couple.
Golden by Jessi Kirby
I'd love to follow Parker into her post high school years.
Baby Proof by Emily Giffin
I loved Claudia and Ben and would love to see where they are now.
Drink, Slay, Love by Sarah Beth Durst
I tend to shy away from vampire novels these days, but I loved snarky Pearl and wouldn't mind reading more of her story.
The Hunt by Jennifer Sturman
So this is actually the fourth book in the Rachel Benjamin series, but it definitely didn't seem like it should have been the last book. This one was released in 2007 by the now debunk Red Dress Ink, so I'm not expecting more books, but I really liked this breezy-mystery series and am bummed that I don't know what happened to Rachel and her boyfriend, Peter.
Dead Rules by Randy Russell
Honestly, I didn't love this book, but I did think it was an interesting take on life after life and think it almost needs a sequel.
Parallel by Lauren Miller
This parallel worlds book was really fun and I'd love to know what happens next.
3 Willows by Ann Brashares
I recently gave this spin-off of the Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants series book a second look and really enjoyed it. I thought this book was going to be the first in a series, but it's been a few years since it was released, so I guess not.
Harry Potter by JK Rowling
I would love to go back to Hogwarts. Surely there is still some evil in the world for their children to fight...Hermione could be the Headmaster. Harry could be the dark arts teacher...
Those are just a few of the stories I'd like to see continued. What books made your list this week? Link me up!

I loved Parallel, so I could definitely read more about this world and find out what happens next! I just added This is What Happy Looks Like to my TBR pile, I've heard great things about it. ~Pam
ReplyDeleteI can't believe I didn't think to add Harry Potter on my list. I would kill to get anything more from that world. Great list!
ReplyDeleteMy TTT
Golden is on my list too- I would love for there to be a sequel so we could find out what happens to Parker! Good thinking having Baby Proof on your list- I love Emily Giffin and would love to read a sequel to that book! Great list, Natalie!
ReplyDeleteI haven't read Baby Proof. I loved Something Borrowed and Something Blue. I will have to add that to my TBR list! I still have to read the last book in the HP series. I finished book 6 last year. I should get to it soon :)
ReplyDeleteHere is my TTT: http://jacquesbooknook.blogspot.com/2013/08/top-ten-tuesday-books-i-wish-could-have.html
I would love to see a Frankie sequel too. I'd like to read Baby Proof as I quite enjoyed Something Borrowed.
ReplyDeleteI've heard great things about Drink, Slay, Love. I haven't read it yet though!
ReplyDeleteMy TTT
This Is What Happy Looks Like made my list too. I really want to read Golden and Disreputable History, I've heard great things about those two books!
ReplyDeleteMy Top Ten
How did I forget HP? I would love to have more Hogwarts in my life. And, yes, for This is What Happy Looks Like...loved that couple! Great list!
ReplyDeleteI love that cover for Drink Slay Love. I'm glad you want a sequel. i can't wait to read it. Happy TTT!
ReplyDeleteI'm embarrassed to say I haven't read any of these books other then Harry Potter which I definitely wouldn't mind having a sequel to, I'm sure there are other problems in the wizarding world that need fixing!
ReplyDeleteI haven't read any of those and of course...I forgot to add Harry Potter as well...My TTT--> http://bookladysreviews.blogspot.com/2013/08/top-ten-tuesday-15.html
ReplyDeleteI've seen Harry Potter on a lot of lists, and although it's not on mine, I would love to find out more about what happened in the days and months after the battle was won.
ReplyDeleteHere's my TTT.
Sarah
Yes to THIS IS WHAT HAPPY LOOKS LIKE, and GOLDEN is sitting on my shelf, just waiting to be read!
ReplyDeleteRachel @ Beauty and the Bookshelf
I would really like to say something thoughtful, but the only one I've read is HP. However, I also want that. I want it something fierce!
ReplyDeleteGreat list! I have seen Golden and Parallel on a few lists. I definitely need to read these ones. I would LOVE a HP sequel :-)
ReplyDeleteHow could i forget DRINK SLAY LOVE? That book was awesome!
ReplyDeleteFabulous choices :)
HERMIONE WOULD BE A KICK ASS HEADMASTER!! Okay, sorry, just freaked out in the best way when I read that. Nice to see Golden and This Is What Happy Looks Like on here. I've been wondering if I should give them a spin and this makes me think I should!
ReplyDeleteI completely agree with Harry Potter. I am not quite ready to leave that world behind!
ReplyDeleteMy TTT.
Parallel definitely NEEDS a sequel. The ending was so AHHH!
ReplyDeleteAwesome list & thanks for stopping by my TTT! (:
Wouldn't it be awesome to have more Harry Potter? It makes me sad that she won't write any more children's books. Maybe one day. Thanks for visiting my TTT.
ReplyDeleteDid you get your work done Natalie?! :D LOL. I feel you though. We started school yesterday and I'm not used to getting back into the grind. I'm exhausted. I freaked out on Parallel. I mean, seriously shouting 'Are you kidding me' at the top of my lungs I was SO mad! And Golden! I'm so glad you liked that book too!
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by earlier girl!
Jessica@Lovin' Los Libros
Yes, DEFINITELY, to a sequel for This Is What Happy Looks Like! It made my list, too. Hope you finished up everything you needed to do for YOUR LAST GRADUATE CLASS (Yay! Congrats!)
ReplyDeleteP.S. I think I used up my quota of exclamation points (!!!, ok maybe not) for this comment. :)
Erin @ YA Book Crush
Great picks :) And, yeah, Drink Slay Love was so much fun, I would love another book ;)
ReplyDeleteGosh I just love Harry Potter. The things I would do for more books O_O. And yes, LOVED Golden. Still need to read some of the others but happy for a list that I actually recognize the books on hah
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by!
Nicole @ The Quiet Concert
I haven't read most of these... but Harry Potter is #1 on my list this week! Yes, take me back to Hogwarts!! I'd love to revisit that world. I'll have to check out some of the books on your list -- nice choices!
ReplyDeleteLisa
My TTT
I'd love more of This is What Happy Looks Like! I'd love to be able to see how they handled everything when all the pressure and secrets were gone. And I'd also love more Harry Potter :)
ReplyDeleteGreat list!
I'd love to see what an older Frankie is up to, and I agree, I want to see what happens next in Parallel (I love the concept of parallel universes)! :)
ReplyDeleteAlice @ Alice in Readerland
Parallel is a stand alone? Huh. I think I'll have to pick it up sooner rather than later then. :)
