This week’s topic is-
Top Ten Sequels
Ok- I have to admit to a bit of a struggle- I came up with series-not exactly sequels. While I enjoyed the book, I didn’t think The Chambers of Secrets was the best sequel in the series. Anyway-here is my list-
1. The Harry Potter Series
My favs after the first are probably the third, sixth and seventh.
2. The Chronicles of Narnia
This is an amazing series. I read them in the order in which they were written-it was awesome!
3. The Hunger Games Trilogy
I think Catching Fire might be in my top three of amazing sequels.
4. The Girl Who Played with Fire
The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo was great- 2nd and 3rd almost seemed like one long book. Lisbeth Sanders is one of my favorite characters in modern literature.
5. The Vampire Lestat
Totally giving away how OLD I am , but I loved this series of books, along with Rice’s Mayfair Witches series.
6. The Cemetery of Forgotten Books series
When I first read The Shadow of the Wind, I was in love with that book. The sequel- The Angel’s Game really confused me, but then the third came out-The Prisoner of Heaven-and tied it all together. I really want to go back and read them all together!
7. The Lord of the Rings trilogy.
The Fellowship of the Rings is wonderful, The Two Towers- a bit slow for me-especially the parts with Frodo and Sam off on their own. But then you get to the third- The Return of The King-and WOW!!!!
Damn I forgot Narnia and LOTR! Good ones!
I forgot. If you want to see my list… here
Good Books!
Love the list.

I love this list — and not coincidentally, I think I’ve read all or part of every series here! I always forget about the Mayfair Witches, but I really liked that series as well as Anne Rice’s vampire books. I’m not a fan of the Stieg Larsson books, but otherwise think these are all great!
Narnia gets my vote! I loved that series
I did not realise that the Angel’s Game was a sequel to the Shadow of the Wind. I have both at my parents house, need to get around to reading them.
I must still read The Hunger Games and Harry Potter! *hides face*
I really enjoyed The Millenium Trilogy and you know how much I loved The Cemetery of Forgotten books series 🙂
After reading The Book of Secrets, I really do want to read the Narnia series too. Nice list!
The Book of Secrets is on my Fall TBR list- hope it is good!
I loved it! Gave it 5 stars 🙂
I want to re-read the Cemetary of Forgotten Books trilogy too! I read the first 2, but that was years ago.
