Top Ten Tuesday was created by The Broke and the Bookish in June of 2010 and was moved to That Artsy Reader Girl in January of 2018. It was born of a love of lists, a love of books, and a desire to bring bookish friends together.
Welcome back to Tuesday. We made it home in the torrential rain yesterday. We have been in a drought situation all year, so rain is good. I would prefer a week's worth of rain not arrive all in one day, but let's not be choosy.
This week's Top Ten Tuesday is all about series of books that have been completed, but loyal fans wish more books were on the way. So, here's my...
Top Ten Completed Series I Wish Had More Books
This was the last book in the Sullivan Boys series by K. M. Daughters. Once all the siblings' stories were told, the series ended. I really wish there were more.
This one might seem lame. With book spinoffs, television shows, and museums, bonnet heads can get their Laura Ingalls Wilder fix. I just wish she had written more fiction based upon the Wilders' married life.
I had the privilege of providing a back cover endorsement for this novel by Kathi Macias. This award-winning series spanned three books and told the stories of life and death faith-based stories. These are amazing stories of extreme devotion.
The Left Behind series is what got me back into reading fiction after many years of reading non-fiction exclusively. The authors wrote prequels for this series, but after Jesus comes back to earth, that is the end. I'm not sure what else they could have written, but I wanted more.
Vannetta Chapman wrote a cozy mystery series about a bishop with a special gift. This trilogy left me wanting more of all these characters and their community.
I haven't read political thrillers in a while, but would love to see more of Grossman's Executive series.
Here is another trilogy where I wanted to spend more time with the characters. C. W. Gortner is so talented. I really need to read something by him again soon.
My wanting more books out of this Civil War trilogy makes no sense because it is about a specific period in time with specific characters. I loved this series and still wish it carried beyond the end of the war.
Yvonne Prinz wrote a fabulous trilogy of a pre-teen and her imaginary friend. When I wrote about the last book, a Clare television series was in development for the Canadian Family Channel. I expected more books, but they never came. I am disappointed.
I can't be too sad about the Tradd Street series ending, because Karen White has already published the first book in its spinoff series and the cover for book 2, which comes out in May 2023, has been revealed. Still, I liked Melanie as the main character. I hope I like Nora as the protagonist just as much.
There are a couple more I could add to the list, but I don't know if they are officially over yet.
So, what are some series you wish hadn't ended? What would you like to see happen to your favorite characters? I look forward to finding out.
