I love sequels. They are so much much, don't you think? You get to revisit the setting and charries you love. This week's link up by the Book Chewers is all about sequels! Be sure to go check it out and add your own post!
(We'll see if the button works right this time.)

1. Best sequel you've ever read?
Oh man...I don't know if this is really the best or the first one that popped into my head (thank you Claudia Donovan...) but The Throne of Fire by Rick Riordan was really good!
2. Worst sequel you've ever read?
Inkdeath. Ick. It disgusted me the whole time. I loved Inkheart and so when the sequels didn't shine...I was sad.
3. Sequel that outshone the first book?
Hmmm...Catching Fire. I love that book so much!
4. Do you often read sequels or do you read the first book and move on?
I try to read sequels a lot but my library does this annoying thing where they get the first book in a series and forget the rest. Annoying I must say.
5. What's a sequel that really surprised you (in a good or bad way)? Why?
Catching Fire. "What?? She has to go back?? Epical!"
6. What's the last sequel you read? (Briefly, what did you think of it?)
I honestly don't remember...I'm pretty much Dory just so you all know. ;)
7. What are 3 sequels you're planning to read (eventually...)?
Scarlet by Marissa Meyer, Sapphire Blue by Kirsten Gier, and...the sequel to Princess Academy that I can't remember the name of.
8. What's the first sequel you see when you look at your bookshelf?
Anne of Avonlea by L.M. Montgomery.
9. Best sequel cover!?
Enna Burning by Shannon Hale. I love the covers on her books.
10. What book(s) do you think desperately need a sequel...but don't have one?
The Book of a Thousand Days. Oh I love that book. :)
Oh yessss, Catching Fire... YESSSS! It totally knocked my socks off that she had to go BACK. I mean, come on, author, haven't you tortured her enough? (The answer is always "no" to that, right? :) And my library does the same thing! Except, more common for me, is that they have 2nd and 3rd books but not the 1st! That's just as frustrating...particularly when the sequel looks really good. Grr... :P
ReplyDeleteFor the button, when you're writing your post, you need to switch it over from "compose" mode to "html" when you stick the button in. :)
I just kinda stared at the words "I am going back to the arena" for a long time. Haha. :) The answer is always no! So annoying! But fun when you're the writer...;)
DeleteOh! I don't know how to do that though. I would, but I do all my blogging and stuff on my phone so I don't know how to do that in the app. :/ I'll figure it out! Thank you! :)
I totally agree with your comment on Catching Fire. I was so stunned and ended up loving the book more than the first.
ReplyDeleteMe too! I adored it!
