Booking Through Thursday – 3/8

 

 

I’ve never done a BTT before, but no time like the present, right?

SO, this week’s question is:

Which non-series book would you most like to read the sequel to? Do you have any wishes for what might happen in it?

And as it so happens, yes. There IS a book that I am dying for a sequel for, but none has been promised. I would LOVE a sequel to My Name is Memory by Ann Brashares.

It’s a really good romantic story about Lucy and Daniel – Daniel has spent centuries falling in love with her, over and over again. He remember ALL of his past lives, and when he’s lucky, one of his lives may include knowing her, despite a change in her name or look. But no matter how close they come to being together, things always end too soon. Finally they’re living within the same lifetime and it seems like Daniel will finally be able to love her and be with her – except he’s not the only one with the gift of remembering past lives, and someone is out to get him.

So, it’s a little cheesy but I really like love stories that occur over epicly long periods of time and this one was SO GOOD. Except things ended on a bit of a cliff-hangy note, and there NEEDS to be at least one more book. But Brashares has not said whether or not she’ll write a sequel. Sure, she’ll complete that YA series about girls in traveling pants, but not this. Grrrr.

I don’t even really care or have any hard ideas about how the sequel should go, I just want there to be one. And for it to have the same magic as the first book. Is that really so much to ask?

So are there any stand-alone books you guys want to see a sequel of?

Top Ten Tuesday: Sequels I Wanna Read NOW!

Good morning folks. Time for Top Ten Tuesday, hosted by the lovely peeps over at The Broke and The Bookish. This week’s topic is Top Ten Sequels I’m Dying to Read. I don’t know if I’ll actually be able to get to 10 with this one, but we’ll see…

1. the 8th Outlander book by Diana Gabaldon – Diana Gabaldon just announced today that she’s thinking the title for the 8th book is going to be Written With My Heart’s Own Blood. I’m not crazy about the title – I like the shorter Outlander titles myself, but it’s exciting because that means that it’s only another 2 or 3 years until it comes out!

2. the 3rd Kingkiller Chronicles book by Patrick Rothfuss – Another one I’ll be waiting years for. There’s no title for this one yet, but it’s one that I’ll buy the day it comes out.

3. Bitterblue by Kristin Cashore – This is supposed to the be the 3rd book in Cashore’s Seven Kingdoms books. Not a date for it yet, but totally can’t wait!

4. Brisingr by Christopher Paolini – I’m starting to feel like a broken record because I’m pretty sure this has been a lot of my lists lately, but it’s out in November and I’m really looking forward to seeing how the Eragon books end.

5. Crossed by Ally Condie – This is the sequel to Matched. Honestly I wasn’t crazy about Matched but I do want to see what happens, so I’m looking forward to reading this one. Also out in November.

6. Son of a Witch, A Lion Among Men, and Out of Oz by Gregory Maguire – As I’ve been saying a lot lately, I have got Wicked on the brain. I keep thinking about the book, and I’m listening to the soundtrack constantly (which is driving the honeyman nuts, btw). I’m waiting for Son of a Witch to come from paperbackswap, and I’m itching to start it ASAP. I even read the first chapter of it in the bookstore yesterday, but had to stop cause my lovely baby nephew L had issues with sleeping in his stroller.

7. 4th Lucy Valentine book by Heather Webber – I love the Lucy Valentine books, but sadly cannot find any info on when a new one will be out. Which seriously bums me out.

8. rest of A Song of Ice and Fire series by George R.R. Martin – Well duh. I’m working on reading the most recent two out, but I’m sure it’ll be a loooooong wait for the 6th one.

And that’s all I got. I feel bad because I feel like I’ve mentioned a bunch of these before, but oh well. I’m dying to read them for a reason.

What sequels are you itching to get your hands on?
