Top Eight Tuesday

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.

    My Top Ten Tuesday post.

Top Ten Tuesday- Holiday / Seasonal Freebie- Memorable characters of 2020

  Hi! Top Ten Tuesday is hosted by Jana  @thatartsyreadergirl . This meme was born out of a love of lists and bringing the book blogging community together. Every week, Jana will post a topic, and we book bloggers will post a reply to the topic. This week, it's a seasonal / winter freebie. I kind of went rogue in a way. In the winter you see the end of the year best-of lists, and that's exactly what I did with this post. You will find subsections to indicate the genre each book is in.  YA Contemporary 1- Pepper from Tweet Cute by Emma Lord Tweet Cute was a novel I read in September. I fell hard for the major character, Pepper. She was so sweet, and she wanted so much to lice her own life.  As a bonus, she baked, and I seem to really love characters who bake. Pepper made this list because she wanted to live her own life for her, and I really admire that quality in a person. 2- Sophie from 10 Blind Dates by Ashley Elston I’m in the middle of this book right now, but I ...

Top Ten Tuesday - Top Ten Historical

Welcome back to Top Ten Tuesday! Our Host is Jana @thatartsyreadergirl . Every week, readers gather and respond to the topic of  the week. This week, we are talking about Top Ten Books in our favorite genre. I love The Classics, YA of all kinds minus Horror and Mystery, and Historical. I choose Historical as I talk about Classics and YA a lot on this blog. These are in no order, just as they came to me. 1- Romanov  by Nadine Brandes I read this Anastasia retelling in nineteen days when it came out. I loved this book so much! About half the novel was the Romanov’s in exile, and their life in a house where they couldn’t do that much. As the story progresses, we see that Nastya is a spell master, so this is how Fantasy is sprinkled in with the Historical Fiction to tell a new story. I loved all aspects of this novel, even the ones that were sad, and almost caused me to throw this book across the room. I will review this book later on this month. I recommend this for any...

Top Ten Tuesday –Favorite Couples (Valentine’s Day /Love Freebie)

  Hi! Top Ten Tuesday is hosted by Jana @ thatartsyreadergirl. . This meme was born out of a love of lists and bringing the book blogging community together. I love doing this meme because it gives me a chance to bond with other bloggers. Every week, Jana will post a topic, and we bloggers will make a post with our list on the topic, or a different one. This week it was Valentines / Love, so I wanted to do a post on favorite couples. I may have done a similar post last year, but I know that there are some new couples on this list.  1- Elizabeth and Mr. Darcy- Pride & Prejudice   This is the only classic couple on this list. I enjoy their relationship because the two characters have little in common, and yet by the end of the novel, they make it work. As you read Pride & Prejudice, you get to see these two find the love each of them was missing. 2- Cath and Levi–Fangirl One of my favorite YA novels needed to appear on this list. I love Cath and Levi becau...
