Happy Tuesday everyone! Welcome to the Top Ten Tuesday now hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl. This week's topic is Standalone Books That Need a Sequel. All of these standalone books on my list totally deserve either a direct sequel or a companion novel. Regardless, I just want more from these worlds. Here we go, in no particular order:
An Assassin's Guide to Love & Treason by Virginia Boecker
Fire & Heist by Sarah Beth Durst
Salt by Hannah Moskowitz
The Isle of Gold by Seven Jane
The Black God's Drums by P. Djeli Clark
Murder, Magic, and What We Wore by Kelly Jones
Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn
The Ocean at the End of the Lane by Neil Gaiman
Revenge and the Wild by Michelle Modesto
Zero World by Jason M. Hough
Have you read any of these novels? What standalone books do you wish had a sequel? As always, thanks for visiting my blog and perhaps even commenting down below!
Ooh I still need to read Gone Girl. It sounds sooo twisty and messed up. :)
ReplyDeleteIt really is! I'd love to see where the cast ends up several years down the road. :)
Delete'Love and Treason' looks like SO MUCH FUN! In fact I think I had it picked out during my last B&N trip but put it back because I bought something else. I do have 'Murder, Magic' on my shelf though. It sounds unique and fun. :)
ReplyDeleteIt's excellent - definitely reminded me of Mackenzi Lee's style. :)
DeleteThe Ocean at the End of the Lane. YES. Yea. Yea. I am in love with that book. My TTT list
ReplyDeleteI'd love to see more of the Hempstocks!
DeleteIt would be so intriguing to read another Gone Girl book. Wonderful list. My TTT
ReplyDeleteTHanks, Chrissi!
DeleteThe Black God's Drums sounds really interesting, although I've never heard of it before today. I haven't read any of these books yet though.
ReplyDeleteIt's definitely worth picking up, Brooke!
DeleteI don't know how I've never heard of The Assassin's Guide to Love and Treason, but that's going straight on my TBR. What an intriguing title!
ReplyDeleteIt really reminds me of Mackenzi Lee's style. :)
DeleteI hope there will be a sequel to Salt someday.
ReplyDeleteMy Top Ten Tuesday post.
Fingers crossed!
DeleteAh yes, I need to know what happens after the ending of Gone Girl!

I'm glad it's not just me. :)
DeleteI have to agree with you on Zero World. I think the author planned to turn this into a series, but there just weren't enough sales to justify it. So sad, this story was brilliant!
ReplyDeleteIt would have been amazing! Maybe some day...
DeleteI really enjoyed The Ocean at the End of the Lane and in general, wouldn't mind seeing a similar story from Neil Gaiman. Good choices!
ReplyDeleteI think I just need more Neil Gaiman. :)
DeleteI have Fire & Heist and Assassin's Guide on my TBR - good to know they're worthy of more!

Thanks for coming over, Sherry!
DeleteGreat list! I've heard really good things about The Black God's Drums, I need to check it out.
ReplyDeleteYou really should! :)
DeleteThere is definitely more story to tell for Murder, Magic, and What We Wore. I feel like we only scratched the surface of the world in that book.
ReplyDeleteI felt the same way. Thanks for coming over, Sam. :)
DeleteI totally thought of The Ocean at the End of the Lane, too! Man, that was such a good book. I've been dying to read The Black God's Drums and just haven't gotten around to it yet, but I'm afraid, like you, that I'll love it and it's so shoooort. xD
ReplyDeleteMy TTT.
I hope you like The Black God's Drums, Sammie!
DeleteWhat a great list. Murder, Magic and What We Work looks really good.
ReplyDeleteIt was a lot of fun, Yvonne. :)
DeleteI would LOVE a Gone Girl sequel! I can only imagine what Nick and Amy would get up to. Great list!
ReplyDeleteI know right! Thanks for coming over, Deanna. :)
DeleteAwesome list! So many of these books are on my wish list. I'm glad to hear they're good. Thanks for sharing! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for coming over, Ashley!
Delete4 of these are already on my TBR so it looks like I'll need to bump them up the list!
ReplyDeleteI hope you'll like them!
DeleteI need to read Gone Girl at some point! Even though I already know the spoiler (oops!)
ReplyDeleteIt's still worth it! :)
