Hi guys! Happy Thursday! We’re so close to Friday, and it’s the last day of summer! ☀️ Today I’m going to be doing the Totally Should’ve Book Tag in which I was tagged by Anna @My Bookish Dream. Thank you so much for tagging me, and let’s get started! 🙂
1. Totally Should’ve Gotten A Sequel
Love Lies Beneath by Ellen Hopkins. The way it ended makes it seem like there is more, and supposedly there could be another book, but it should definitely happen!
2. Totally Should’ve Gotten A Spin-Off Series
Gone series by Michael Grant, I could see a spin-off series to the kids who left that weird dome they were in. Their point of view of what they see.
-*ed: apparently there is going to be a spin-off, I just found out this week, how crazy is that?
3. An Author Who Should Write More Books
I know he’s a new author, as his debut novel came out a few years ago but I would love to read more from J. Ryan Stradal.
4. A Character Who Totally Should’ve Ended Up With Someone Else
I’m going to use a cop out answer here and say Katniss shouldn’t have ended up with Peeta. Total cop out answer right here.
5. Totally Should’ve Had A Movie Franchise
I’m going to have to go with the Ramona series by Beverly Clearly. I know they did a movie a few years back where they jumbled all the books together and I know they did a TV show back in the late 80s, but a movie franchise would be nice.
6. Totally Should’ve Kept The Original Covers
The Mortal Instruments. I loved the original covers.
7. Totally Should’ve Stopped At Book One
Red Queen by Victoria Aveyard. Those books just went downhill after the first book.

In my opinion I didn’t care for the books as they kept going, but you may still enjoy them!
Haha, I agree with you Katniss was really good on her own!
They are all really pretty, I just enjoy the original ones. That’s too bad you didn’t care for them.

Katniss definitely shouldn’t have ended up with Peeta! They just didn’t work for me as a couple. I actually like the new covers for The Mortal Instruments – the one where the spines build the city panorama. But I’m a sucker for illustrated covers so there is that as well! 😀

Haha, nope they didn’t work out one bit!
I have to admit the spines are really pretty, but I just love the original because it’s what I’m so familiar with.

Oh wow, I got so excited reading your comment about a Ramona movie franchise. I loved those books so much when I was a kid and think they would make wonderful movies as well. I’m also right there with you on Red Queen. I struggled with the second book and haven’t even bothered to pick up the third one. Fun post!

Wouldn’t they?! Those books are so well written and so heartfelt!
It’s probably for the better that you stopped reading the books, they just kept getting worse sadly.
Thank you! 🙂

Great answers for this tag Meghan. 😀 I haven’t read all these books but I do agree with some of your answers. I would have actually preferred Katniss not end up with anyone, I mean the story was about her love for her sister more than her love to Peeta or Gale? Why couldn’t Prim have just survived?
Also definitely definitely agree with you about Red Queen, granted I haven’t read King’s Cage but I couldn’t stand the second book in the series.

Thank you Beth!
Ohh right!? I would have loved it if Prim had survived!
Ha, well I’m sure you’re not going to continue with the series!
