Top Ten Books I Wish Could Have Had Sequels

Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme hosted by The Broke and the Bookish.

Okay, so this is totally going to be an exercise in fangirling and not based remotely in reality. Obviously, I won't be including series I've not finished in this list, since I don't know if I'll feel like I'm done with it. Otherwise, everything is FAIR GAME. Basically, these are the books or series where I'm like "That was awesome, but you know what?"

Like Ariel, I'm a greedy bitch.

1.  Anatomy of a Single Girl (Anatomy #2) - Daria Snadowsky

Maybe this is already in the works, but I've not heard anything yet. I want to see a non-depressed Dom in college living it up! And I sort of want her to get with Calvin or someone. She's at a point now where she can have a healthy relationship and I want to be there for that!

2. Beauty Queens - Libba Bray

TBH, I have no clue what would happen, but this book was HILARIOUS and I want more books in this style, mmmkay?

3. Shadows on the Moon - Zoë Marriott

Okay, so Shadows on the Moon is fantastic, and I definitely could do with more. Also, I think there's totally space for one. Trying to make my suggestion without spoiling anyone should be interesting, but I'm going to go for it. Basically, I would like a sequel set in Onieto's homeland that explores powers and such more. How badass would that be? INCREDIBLY BADASS.

4. Fruits Basket - Natsuki Takaya

What's that? Most of you don't care about manga? Well, I do, so deal with it. Fruits Basket is on my list of favorite things all time ever. I've read the series three or four times now, and at pretty much any point I would be willing to reread. If you're scared of manga but tempted and need a buddy, I WILL read this with you. I WILL find the time. That's how much I love it. Anyway, this is one of those cases where I am just completely in love with the characters and need to know more about them. Epilogue was not satisfying enough. I need more time to revel in my ships, and for ships to form for the ones who don't have anyone. MAKE IT SO.

5. Meant to Be - Lauren Morrill

I cannot be the only one who wants to see Julia go to college, can I? In Meant to Be, I liked the couple, but I don't see them lasting forever, so it would be awesome to see the breakup and recovery process in freshman year, because that's a common part of the college experience.

6. Lady Knight (Protector of the Small #4) - Tamora Pierce

Some of you may disagree with me, as I imagine Tamora does, since she probably wrote this just how she wanted it, but, for me, a Tamora Pierce series is not complete without the swoons. Kel needs herself a sexy man and some sex in general. It's not fair that the least feminine of Pierce's heroines ends up alone with only possible hints at a relationship. This must be rectified with a fifth book, tentatively titled...I'm not sure yet, since The Woman Who Rides Like a Man was taken.

7. Front and Center (Dairy Queen #3) - Catherine Gilbert Murdock

Like with Meant to Be, I think this would be a good series to continue onwards into college with, since it's really not wrapped around an HEA onto eternity. Sure, I do really want D.J. to get Brian Nelson, but, at the same time, that's not what the series was ALL ABOUT for me, so they would break up in college and date other people, and I would be totally okay with that. I just want to know how she does in her studies and basketball and everything!

8. Ascendant (Killer Unicorns #2) - Diana Peterfreund

You guys, I freaking love this series, but the ending of Ascendant did not feel like a period. There should be more. Most of the series on this list feel pretty complete to themselves, but could probably have more. In this case, I think more would make the story even stronger, because it felt like some questions were left lingering. Also, I just want more killer unicorns.

9. Nana- Ai Yazawa

This one's unique on my list as I actually haven't read what there is of Nana yet. I have, however, read some of her other works and loved them, and watched the anime while I was home sick one day. Here's the deal. Yazawa got really sick, and so this series went on hiatus at a crazy dramatic point, and all I'm saying is that I wish for Yazawa Ai to heal entirely and be able to finish the series.

10. Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows (Harry Potter #7) - J.K. Rowling

Yeah, I know this will be on every single list ever, but I have no fucks to give about that. The epilogue was not nearly enough. I want to know every single detail of their lives and their kids' lives and on and on, okay? I'm in love with this world and there cannot be enough. Also, that Buzzfeed article that came out last week made me DESPERATE for the expanded universe to get going. I especially must know about Teddy Lupin and Victoire Weasley, because oh man do I ship it. I want all of this even though pretty much all of the kids have stupid names. That is how in love with all of this I am.

What say you? Anyone else want to see these sequels happen?
