Books That Deserve Sequels

-
This mornings Booking Through Thursday had me contemplating what other books deserved sequels. I don't know about you but I get so sad when I finish a book I loved and learn that the Author has decided it won't have a sequel. I realize not everyone loves sequels but I do....if the story allows for it. Some books would of been better had they remained a standalone no doubt about that. I definitely think Sequels are a trend at the moment as every book seems to leave that open ending in the hopes it's the next Twilight,Hunger Games or Harry Potter.

That being said I wanted to share the Books that came to mind this morning when I was trying to decide.


The Hobbit by J.R.R. Tolkien
Cellby Stephen King
The Replacementby Brenna Yovanoff
The Giverby Lois Lowry
Demon in My Viewby Amelia Atwater-Rhodes
Oryx and Crakeby Margaret Atwood

I realize some of these books do blend into others but none have direct sequels and I think they should. Do you have any you think should be on this list? Leave me a comment below so I can see.

Welcome to my stop on the Books To Movies Giveaway Hop hosted by Mary from Bookhounds & I Am A Reader, Not A Writer If you didn't know by now I'm a huge fan of Books turned movies. I read as if I'm watching a movie as it is and so whenever I see a book turned into a film I get super excited. While I have many favorites I've decided to limit my choices to my Top 5. Trust me I can talk about Book to Movie adaptations all day if you'll let me :)  From this list you can choose either the book or film as your prize! In no particular order here are my favorite books turned into films! .The Lord Of The Rings is a series that can only be described as epic. I love the books and suggest everyone read the series at least once. When Peter Jackson turned the trilogy into a film and I heard of some of the changes I was skeptical. Fortunately as soon as I saw the first film all doubts were erased from my mind. I just can't get enough and have rewatched t

Welcome to my stop on the Vamps vs. Zombies Blog Hop hosted by April @ My Shelf Confessions . Up for Grabs is a $5 Amazon Giftcard and a Vampire or Zombie book of choice (up to $10).  Since I'm #TeamZombie all the way I figured it'd be fun to list my reasons for why Zombies are clearly superior to Vampires. Zombies Vampires Early Warning System. If you hear a moan you have time to run away before they eat you.                                       Climb through the window while you're sleeping to suck blood. That's just rude! Helpful in decreasing the surplus population. Sure their numbers might increase but it's the thought that counts. Due to "secrecy" Vampires try very hard to not increase numbers. They'd rather suck and move on. More fun to kill!  From traditional weapons to household supplies the possibilities for proper Zombie slayage are endless. Holy water, sunlight or stakes= yawn.   Zombies are equal opportunity hu
