Top Ten Tuesday – Books I wish had a sequel

Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly feature hosted at That Artsy Reader Girl. Each week you compile a list of ten books that coincide with that week’s theme. You can find everything you need to know about joining in here!

This week’s theme is about books I wish had an epilogue. I didn’t have strong feelings about the topic, so I was happily going to skip it.

Then I saw that Andge had expanded the topic to include standalone books that she wished had a sequel. And yes, I have some big thoughts about that.

Here’s my list of books that I wish had a sequel.

1. Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn – I would be so up for more of Amy and Nick’s shenanigans while they try to one-up each other. I wonder who would finally come on top?
2. Three Women by Lisa Taddeo – I would love to know how all three women are faring now. Is Sloane still married? Did Maggie receive justice? Did Lina’s husband discover her infidelity?
3. Three Wishes by Liane Moriarty – This is her first book, which was note-perfect. I fell in love with the Kettle sisters and would love a second book on them.
4. The Husband’s Secret by Liane Moriarty – I wouldn’t like a sequel to this book exactly, but I’d love if the existing epilogue were fleshed into a new book with a focus on Tess and Will and their story after his affair with her cousin.
5. The Martian by Andy Weir – I love Mark Watney, and I wouldn’t mind reading another book about him stranded on a planet (maybe Jupiter or Neptune).
6. An Infamous Army by Georgette Heyer – This is primarily a book about the battle of Waterloo. While it’s a fantastic recount of the action, it has two very intriguing but somewhat unfinished love stories. I’d love a book that would expand on these two couples. Unfortunately, the only option is fan fiction since the author is dead.
7. The Goldfinch by Donna Tartt – It seems weird that I’d want a sequel to this massive chunkster. But I love Theo and Boris and wouldn’t mind another story (somewhat short) about their adventures.
8. Light a Penny Candle by Maeve Binchy – A book featuring some fascinating characters with one of the most abrupt endings I have read. I loved the book; I hated the ending. I’d love a sequel that brings some closure to the main protagonists.
9. The Lincoln Lawyer by Michael Connelly – I loved the book and am pretty surprised there are no direct sequels. Yes, the main character Mickey Haller does appear in other Connelly books, but he is more like a supporting character when he should be leading man material.
10. The Graveyard Book by Neil Gaiman – I would love a story about Jack growing up and returning to the graveyard to meet all his old friends – the ghosts. I think it would make quite a charming tale.

What do you think of my list? What books/characters do you want more of?
