Top Ten Tuesday was created by The Broke and the Bookish in June of 2010 and was moved to That Artsy Reader Girl in January of 2018. It was born of a love of lists, a love of books, and a desire to bring bookish friends together.
Standalone Books That Need a Sequel
Man, going through my Goodreads for this list made me realize that I read very few standalone books! A lot of the standalones are contemporary romance, but I didn’t want my ENTIRE list to be that! So here’s my list. I tried really hard to add some variety.
Neverwhere by Neil Gaiman
This is supposedly getting a sequel, but I won’t believe it until I have it in my grubby little hands.
This Lullaby by Sarah Dessen
I listened to an interview where she explains why she doesn’t do sequels and I get it…but I’d still like one. Honestly, I’d take a sequel for any of her books, but I’m particularly curious about Remy and Dexter.
Since You’ve Been Gone by Morgan Matson
I feel like this book ended feeling a little unresolved to me. I didn’t really think Sloan was a very good friend, so I’d like to giver her a chance to redeem herself.
Fangirl by Rainbow Rowell
Levi and Cath are just so sweet together. A book about their last year of college would be amazing.
Invictus by Ryan Graudin
More time travel heists plzzzzzz.
The Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern
Yes, more Night Circus would be fantastic. I literally cannot get enough.
Iron Cast by Destiny Soria
The two main characters are best friendship goals! I’d love to see what other situations they get themselves into!
A Million Junes by Emily Henry
I feel that there could be more to explore here. The book resolved, but let’s see what happens after!
Odd & True by Cat Winters
A new book with Odd’s daughter as the lead would be so interesting I think!
The Comeback Season by Jennifer E Smith
More Cubs!
Ah I think I’m the opposite of you, I almost exclusively read standalones! I have actually never read any of the books on your list, but the Night Circus is high on my TBR!!

More Night Circus would be amazing! I’m super excited for the author’s next book, though.

A The Night Circus sequel would be amazing, I want more circus magic! And I think I assumed there’d be an Invictus sequel until right now and now I’m disappointed there won’t be too. It was such a fun read!
