Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme hosted by The Broke and the Bookish. This week's topic is:
Top ten books I wish could have sequels.
For this top ten, I'm going to try and stick to stand alone books, instead of series that I wish had kept going. (The key word is try, let's see how that works out!):
The first one that comes to mind is Mosh Pit. This is a book I read in junior high and absolutely loved. It deals with LGBT issues, drugs, sex, and all kinds of fun stuff. The amount of drama in this book has the intensity of a soap opera, and I really wish I could have learned what happened to the characters after the pages ended.
Don't get me wrong. My regular readers know that Forbidden is one of my favorite books. The ending, no matter how tragic, is perfect, and I wouldn't change a thing. However, there is a void in my heart named Lochan, and I wish I could have had more time with him. Actually, there's another book that makes me feel the same.....
This is another book that I wouldn't really want to have a sequel, and of course I know that there can't be one, due to the plot of the story. But like Lochan, I just wish I had more time to fall in love with Augustus.
I apparently have an entire section of my heart blocked off for fictional characters. Though the novella, Uncharted, helped to quench my TJ and Anna thirst, I really wish there could have been another full book. I don't know how it would have worked, and it's for that reason that there probably isn't one.
This might be cheating, but I'm not counting Walking Disaster as a sequel, since it's the same story from another view. I want a new story of Travis and Abby, I miss them!
This might also be cheating, since there is technically a book three, Lush. But more specifically, I wish there was another story of this specific relationship, the three-way relationship of Juliet, Cal, and Gideon.
I'm not ready to leave Hogwarts yet and you can't make me.
Now, rumor has it that there might be another book. But until something is officially announced, I'm counting this as a stand alone. Christmas is coming, and I wish I had another book for the holidays!
Simply put, I want to see how Charlie progressed through life.
This wasn't one of my most loved reads, earning a three star review. But I'll be damned if I don't want to read more about what happens. I am not satisfied with this being the end of the road!!!
What about you?
This is a great list, of the books on here that I've read I totally agree that I want a sequel too! I'M NOT READY TO LEAVE HOGWARTS EITHER!!
ReplyDeleteI'm not ready to leave. I'm just going to chain myself inside.
DeleteGood list, I love Perks of Being a Wallflower and I feel like there's still more to Charlie's story to tell.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad I'm not the only one who feels that way!
DeleteI'm intrigued about Forbidden. I've seen it on a few lists now.
ReplyDeleteIt's a really sad, but really beautiful read.
DeleteI so agree with The Perks of Being a Wallflower! I want to know more about how Charlie coped with his life, and how high school turned out to be, did he go to a college? So, so many questions. :) And of course there's even no question about wanting sequels for TFIOS and HP. Great list!
ReplyDeleteExactly! I believe that there are far more stories he can tell.
DeleteThanks for dropping by!
Wow second time I'm seeing Forbidden and Perks on a list!! I don't think I'll ever want to leave Hogwarts.
ReplyDeleteLet's all just have a sit in inside Hogwarts and protest, haha
DeleteGreat list! I'd love a sequel of Perks and especially HP, I'm not ready to leave either!
ReplyDeleteTTT @ Eveline's Books
Thanks for stopping by, I'm glad I'm not the only one clinging to Hogwarts!
DeleteThat is so how I feel about The Fault in our Stars. I just want more, not a sequel.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad someone sympathizes :)
DeleteGreat list! There's always room for more Harry Potter. (At long as it's Rowling writing it, of course. :D) Thanks for stopping by my blog!
ReplyDeleteLOL I love what you put for HP. I totally agree. It made my list as well
ReplyDeleteCait x
It's just such a perfect bookish world!
DeleteI can leave Hogwarts and have another novel set elsewhere say the Ministry or even Hogsmeade - about Neville's life in the house upstairs... haha!
ReplyDeleteCheers for visiting my Top Ten for this week.
I would completely settle for that, haha!
DeleteThanks for returning the visit.
Great list! I totally understand, I don't think I'll ever fully be able to let go of Harry Potter. I was satisfied with the epilogue but I wouldn't complain if Jo released some more HP :) Thanks for stopping by <3
ReplyDeleteAly @ My Heart Hearts Books
Thanks for returning the visit :)
DeleteI haven't read Perks, but I love the movie and I would love to see what comes next too. I completely agree with HP and TFiOS. Great list!
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by :)
Thanks for returning the visit! I was pleasantly surprised when I liked the film adaptation.
DeleteGreat List!! Beautiful Disaster and The Fault In Our Stars are both still on my TBR list. I'm happy to hear that you enjoyed them. I still need to read the last HP book. I read books 4-6 over the past two years. My goal is to finish the series this year, but I'm sure I will miss Harry as well.
ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting my TTT!!!
Thanks for returning the visit. TFiOS is sad, but beautiful.
DeleteI want to see what happens to Charlie too.
ReplyDeleteSo much potential for another story in that.
DeleteGreat list! I loved The Fault in Our Stars and Beautiful Disaster :D
ReplyDeleteMe too. Well, I loved Augustus and Travis, anyway haha.
DeleteI don't think I'll ever be ready to leave Hogwarts :)
ReplyDeleteMe either. I'm still bitter over never receiving my letter.
DeleteThere definitely needs to be a companion series to Harry Potter. It could happen, you never know!
ReplyDeleteFingers crossed!
DeleteI finally ordered the HP series. I don't know when I'll get the chance to read them, but I'm looking forward to no longer having to hang my head in shame over the fact that I'm an HP virgin.
ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting!
Stephanie @ Inspiring Insomnia
Oh, that's so exciting though. It's a whole new world for you to fall in love with!
DeleteForbidden MIGHT need a sequel. I mean, what if Lochan's sister moves on? (I forgot her name. :P)
ReplyDeleteAnyways, there is a sort of sequel to Beautiful Disaster - Walking Disaster. It talks about Travis and Abby's kids and stuff. :P
Great list & thanks for stopping by my TTT! (:
I didn't count Walking Disaster as a sequel, since it's essentially the same story. I read it, and liked it, but I need more of them in the future.
DeleteThanks for returning the visit :)
I loved Perks so I could easily read more about Charlie. Thanks for visiting! ~Pam
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by. He's such a relatable, likable character.
DeleteI don't want to leave Hogwarts, either! Ha ha – great list. :-)
ReplyDeleteThis is a great list! I have The Perks on my TBR!
ReplyDeleteIt's one of my favorites, I hope you enjoy it.
DeleteI'm with you, I'd love to see more of Perks. And HP! Why can't there be more? Great list!
ReplyDeleteThank you for stopping by!
DeleteI totally agree about The Fault In Our Stars! And HP is another great choice. I'm pretty sure all Potter fans would love more books! I haven't read Perks in forever, but I feel like re-reading it now.
ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting my TTT!
Nicole @ WCW
Thanks for repaying the visit. I don't know why I waited so long to read TFiOS, but now I'm sad that it's over!
DeleteInteresting list. The only one that I've read is The Perks of Being A Wallflower and I have to admit it would be nice to have a sequel and see how Charlie is doing after all these events have passed, be it a few months or years in the future.
ReplyDeletePrecisely. I have no preference for how far into the future the sequel would take place, but I would love to read it.
DeleteI kinda agree with you with Beautiful Disaster. I kind of wish there was a sequel to just let us see more into there lives in the future. But I'm excited about the Maddox brother's series. I hope we get to see more of Travis in that one.
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by. New follower.
My TTTTop Ten Tuesday
Thanks for following!
DeleteI was SO excited to find out the Maddox brothers were getting a series! I can't wait!
I love the way you put your thoughts about the Harry Potter books in big, bold type! Yes, I feel the same way -- but I'm worried that if she ever does write a sequel, it might not have the same magic (figuratively speaking.)
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by! I'm returning the favor and following you -- via Bloglovin, since I'm hoping to switch to WordPress one of these days (... weeks... months... who knows?)
Thanks for the follow!
DeleteI'd be worried about that too. I'd hate for the sequels to take something away from the story.
Yup, yup, yup -- I'm never leaving Hogwarts!! Nice list, great choices!

Great, we'll just camp out there haha.
DeleteThanks for the follow!
I've only read HP and TFiOS. I'd gladly read any books about the Marauders if JKR ever writes them. I feel like she could tell some fantastic stories.
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by and commenting on my blog :)
Cheers,
Savindi
I agree. There's so many characters that could have amazing tales. We all know they're lingering in JK's thoughts anyway haha.
Deletei agree with TFiOS, but if there is a sequel there will be Gus and that is not good for my well being. lol great list!
ReplyDeleteI know that feeling! hahaha.
DeleteThanks for stopping by.
The Fault in Our Stars is on my TBR list! Great list and thanks for stopping by my blog earlier!
ReplyDeleteRebecca @ The Library Canary
I hope you enjoy it, I loved it. Heartbreaking, but beautiful.
DeleteTFIOS wouldn't be the same without Augustus, but I really want to find out Hazel's future! Because we all need another good cry-fest, right? Thanks for stopping by my post!
ReplyDeleteAhaha. No kidding, I cried so hard.
DeleteCompletely agree with Harry Potter! I will never make anyone leave Hogwarts. I would stay as long as I could too.
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by!
Thanks for repaying the visit. I think I'm overdue for rereading the HP books.
DeleteYES- who could ever be ready to leave Hogwarts?!
ReplyDeleteSara at The Page Sage
Not sane people, haha!
DeleteI haven't read any John Green books, but I need to!
ReplyDeleteI've only read TFiOS, but I adored it.
DeleteA sequel to THE FAULT IN OUR STARS would crush me, hard, but I would still devour it. Thanks for stopping by!
ReplyDeleteRachel @ Beauty and the Bookshelf
Oh, I definitely agree with you on that one. It would hurt, but I'd need to read it.
DeleteI sort of agree about Harry Potter. I don't want a full sequel (I'm not sure how good it would be), but I definitely want more about what happened in the months following the battle. I didn't love the jump into the future so much, although I've warmed to it now.
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by my blog, I'm following you via Bloglovin'.

Thanks for the follow!
DeleteI don't need a sequel necessarily of Harry, but some sort of book or continuation of the magic world would be lovely.
Harry Potter made it to a lot of lists this Tuesday. We just love him!!
ReplyDeleteIt's always great to reminded how strong of a fan base Harry has.
DeleteJK Rowling should look at all of these posts and see how much everyone wants more of the wizarding world. Great list!
ReplyDeleteI can't agree with you more!
DeleteThanks for dropping by!
Even if JKR writes a thousand sequels - I don't think I'll ever be ready to leave Hogwarts either! Great list!
ReplyDeleteKate @ whYAnot Reviews.
That's true enough, for sure.
DeleteThanks for stopping by!
I didn't even think of Perks of Being A Wallflower! THat would be great to see how thigns turned out! Good list!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for visiting me :)
DeleteWhy would anyone make you leave Hogwarts? RUDE.
ReplyDeleteRight? People these days.
DeleteI thought about adding Perks to my list too! I wanted at least an epilogue of 5 years down the road or something. And same with TFIOS. And of course, you know how I feel about Hogwarts lol. Excellent list!
ReplyDeleteThank you, haha.
DeleteThat's how I feel too. Not an immediate sequel, but maybe one from his college days or something like that.
I would love to learn how Charlie is doing!!!
ReplyDeleteRight? I hope he is doing okay.
DeleteGreat list! I will never be able to say goodbye to Hogwarts! :-) Thanks for stopping by my FF. New GFC and Bloglovin follower
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for the follow!
DeleteI meant to put in Perks of Being a Wallflower!!! I also loved TFIOS, but I was conflicted over whether or not to put it in my list because of the finality of the story. I can't remember, actually, the last time that I felt that one book managed to hold it all so well.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you. I don't think a sequel is possible, or really needed. I just didn't want it to end!
DeleteNice list. I feel like HP ended perfectly and more books would ruin a good thing. NOt that I wouldn't read that :D
ReplyDeleteI'd be nervous about them, that's to say the least haha
DeleteI have only heard of a couple of these books, I would also read more of the twilight series if more were ever written :)
ReplyDeleteHappy reading!
DeleteBwhahahahahahha! I LOVE your HP reaction. I'm not ready to leave Hogwarts either! Let's meet in the room of requirement to plan our protest! I kind of want to know how long Hazel hangs on from TFIOS as well... And Charlie! I'm so worried about Charlie!
ReplyDeleteMe too! Did he turn out okay!? Will we EVER know?!
DeleteI would also love to read more about Charlie from Perks. That book left me wondering how he was going to end up. TFIOS!! My heart can't take anymore of that!! I loved it, but I'm still mentally recovering.
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by My TTT
It was such a beautiful book, in a soul-shattering kind of way.
DeleteYESYESYES TFiOS! Great list! Thanks for stopping by my blog! :)
ReplyDeleteThank you for repaying the visit! :)
DeleteGreat list! Thanks for the comment on my blog and for the follow, I've followed you back via GFC. Your blog is gorgeous! :)
ReplyDeleteI have Beautiful Disaster on my list as well!!And I've seen Forbidden before and was really intrigued but I'm not sure if I'll like it.
ReplyDeleteElena @ Book Lady's Reviews
Forbidden seems to be the kind of book where people either adore it or abhor it.
DeleteI completely forgot to add Harry Potter on my list. :( I wouldn't mind more from The Fault in Our Stars but only in the capacity of like a novella or something that takes place during the book with more Augustus and Hazel together. Great list!
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by my post!
~Sara @ Forever 17 Books
I agree, I definitely want more Augustus time!
DeleteNo one is ready to leave Hogwarts!!!
