The banner is not mine. Welcome Back to Ten Tuesday, a weekly discussion hosted by thatartsyreadergirl. This week's prompt is Standalone's that I wish were sequels. These books are in no order.
1- The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society by Mary Ann Shaffer and Annie Barrows. Link to the book on Goodreads
This is a Historical Fiction that I have discussed here before. I would love to know how married life treated Juliet and Dawsey I loved the characters in this book and would love the opportunity to visit them again.
2- The Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern Goodreads link
This was a mixture of Historical Fiction and Fantasy and I was so here for this book. I had heard the hype, and I still loved this book and I wanted to know more about Marco, Celia, and the world within this novel. While I feel the story ended well, I would love to revisit this world and the circus again.
3- Tash Hearts Tolstoy by Kathryn Ormsbee Goodreads
I am almost certain that I have spoken about my favorite read of 2017 here in the past. I loved this novel about a webseries and the people behind the camera and in front of the camera. I feel like the first book wrapped up well, but that we could explore more with the characters and their story with a sequel.
4- Eleanor and Park by Rainbow Rowell Goodreads
I read this novel in 2017 after loving Fangirl so much. This was such a cute love story, and I adored learning about these two. I'm a big fan of music, and music was a huge part of the relationship between the two characters. My dream sequel for this would be seeing Eleanor and Park living their best lives in college. I need more YA fluff from these two.
5- Comics Will Break Your Heart by Faith Erin Hicks Goodreads
I read this book last month and it was adorable. I felt like the ending was a bit rushed and that it could have definitely been expanded. I would love a story where we see Miriam (Mir) and Weldon in Canada to see what happens when they get back from Comic Con. Another story I would love is Mir and Weldon in a big Canadian City like Toronto for College. I just want another story with Mir and Weldon.
6- What If It's Us by Becky Albertalli and Adam Silvera Goodreads
I read this book in January of this year. I will not lie, I was tearing up at the end of this book and I wanted more from Ben and Arthur. I could my dream sequel would be where the two main characters are together again, and much like Eleanor and Park are living their best lives together. How this book ending makes me feel like there might be something coming down the pipe for these characters and their story, or maybe just the characters. Anyway, I would love some more Ben and Arthur in my life thanks.
7- Eliza and Her Monsters by Francesca Zappia Goodreads
This was another novel I read in 2017. I loved Eliza and her love of fandom. All I really want from a sequel is more of Eliza as a character and her fandom. I enjoyed the character of Wally, but he could be in the sequel or not. I feel like you could write a story about Eliza and have him be a part, but I am not sure he would play as big of a role that he played in this story.
8- Meg, Jo, Beth, and Amy: A Graphic Novel: A Modern Retelling of Little Women by Rey Terciero and Bre Indigo Goodreads
This was such a fun and cute modern day retelling of Little Women. It was diverse without cramming the diversity down your throat, and it was just a pleasure to read. This book ends before Jo leaves home, and in the sequel I would love to see the characters continue in the story of Little Women.
What are some standalone's you would like to see have sequels?

I couldn't agree with you more about Meg, Jo, Beth, and Amy. What a great graphic novel that was.
