Top Ten Tuesday: 8 Series & Standalone Books I Wish Had More Books

Top Ten Tuesday: 8 Completed Series I Wish Had More Books

This week’s TTT is all about completed series we wish had more books. I actually don't really read a lot of series, I'm more into standalones or if I do read series it takes me ages to finish them  and by that point I'm usually fine with them being completed. Here are 9 series and standalones that I do wish had another book to follow-up. Some of these series never actually got completed and I'm still wishing for a final book. 

1. the Annabelle Lee Series by Stacey Jay

This is actually not a completed series. There were two books with me fully anticipating a 3rd book that just... never came. I wish it would have been finished!

2. The Goddess Test Series by Aimee Carter

Before all of the Hades/Persephone retellings everyone loves now, the Goddess Test was one of the OGs of Hades/Persephone retellings. While Kate and Henry's story wraps up at the end of the trilogy, I thought there was going to be a spin-off series and I guess it just never panned out. It's a shame. 

3. Goodnight Series by Rosemary Clement-Moore

Surely there must be more Goodnights we could read about! I love this family so much for there to only be two books! PHIN! PHIN needs her own book! Please Rosemary???

4. Gravebriar by Casey L. Bond

Gravebriar is a standalone but I would love more books set in this world! Maybe about some of the other witch families?

5. The Thousandth Floor Trilogy by Katharine McGee

I don't even know where she would go with another book, but I love this series so much. 

6. Maybe This Time by Jennifer Crusie

Another standalone I wish would have a sequel. I would love to see Alice and Carter return to the house as adults. 

7. Clue Mystery Series by Diana Peterfreund

I don't know if I exactly like how the last book ended. I know things were mostly wrapped up but I'd love to see the crew solve more murders and see where they went after leaving Blackbrook Academy. 

8. Stormheart Series by Cora Carmack

Okay, Okay, I know this is unfair to really, really want the third book to come out considering the author has a ton of health problems, I just really hate to be left hanging and hope this trilogy gets completed someday.

Top Ten Tuesday: 10 Books I Love That Were Written More Than 10 Years Ago

This week’s TTT is all about books we love that were written before 2012! Looking through my Goodreads shelves, it's interesting to see how long ago some of my favorites were written and published!

Top Ten Tuesday: 10 Books Set In a Place I’d Love to Visit

Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme created by The Broke and The Bookish and currently hosted by Jana @ That Artsy Reader Girl.

Top Ten Tuesday: Books Set In a Place I’d Love to Visit

This week’s TTT is all about books set in places I'd love to visit. I'm really into traveling and one of my weird quirks is looking to see if there are any books set in the places I want to go. Here are 9 books set in places I'd love to visit or have visited and 2 books set in a place I wouldn't want to go after reading tons of horror and thrillers set there...

1. A Lowcountry Bride by Preslaysa Williams (Charleston, South Carolina)

I went to Charleston last year and fell in love with it. I read this book when I was back home and missing Charleston and it felt like I was right back there. 

2. Surviving Savannah by Patti Callahan (Savannah, Georgia)

The 1838 timeline of this book primarily takes place on the steamboat Pulaski, but throughout the book you definitely get a feel for Savannah!

3. My Calamity Jane by Cynthia Hand, Brodi Ashton, and Jodi Meadows (Deadwood, South Dakota)

My mom and I went to Deadwood in June and I believe either all or part of this book is set in Deadwood, so it would be interesting to see The Lady Janies's take on 1876 Deadwood!

4. Hunting Prince Dracula by Kerri Maniscalco (Bran Castle, Romania)

It's actually the picture of Bran Castle in the book that I fell in love with and put it on my someday travel-to list.

5. Reawakened by Colleen Houck (Egypt)

Egypt has always been on my to-visit-someday list but this book is so much fun!

6. RoseBlood by A.G. Howard (Paris, France)

7. Curse of the Bruel Coven by Sabrina Ramoth (New Orleans, Louisiana)

8. Dark Witch by Nora Roberts (Ireland)

9. The Hollow by Jessica Verday (Sleepy Hollow, New York)

and 1 Place I would Not Like to Visit After Reading Multiple Books Set There...

Maine
