This week’s question:
A while ago, I interviewed my readers for a change, and my final question was, “What question have I NOT asked at BTT that you’d love me to ask?” I got some great responses and will be picking out some of the questions from time to time to ask the rest of you. Like now.
Ted asks:
Which non-series book would you most like to read the sequel to? Do you have any wishes for what might happen in it?
My answer:
Ironically, I just finished a book the other day, The Ninth Step by Barbara Taylor Sissel, in which I stated in my review that I hoped that there would be a sequel. There are others, but that came instantly to mind since I just finished it.
I enjoy reading novels that have strong character relationship dynamics that explore the psychological and emotional aspects with and between characters. The type of read where you feel either you can truly relate or would like to form a “friendship” with the people on the pages that are brought to life. Any novel, such as those, I always wish there would be a sequel to follow their lives. Authors like Michael Baron, Diane Chamberlain, Kristin Hannah, Melissa Foster, Nancy Thayer, just to name a few, have created wonderful characters and story lines that I have enjoyed and wish there were sequels to some of their books.
What about you? Do you have a particular book you would like to see a sequel to?
Never heard of it will have to check out your review I think.

Very pretty blog layout btw.
Funny you should mention Kristin Hannah, I chose one of her books, however, I found this question a difficult one to answer since I prefer stand alone books, but read series, probably because there are so many series books written.
I haven’t heard of the book you just finished, but it sounds wonderful. I also love to delve more into great characters, and the authors you mentioned are really adept at characterization.
Here’s MY THURSDAY MEMES POST
I haven’t read that book! I love your blog layout! Here’s my BTT.
Sometimes it’s hard to choose just one, this sounds good.

The first book that popped into my head was Forrest Gump and I didn’t even think that book was all that great. lol
Not really, I think there are too many sequels around as it is 🙂
