We have been having fun with Top Ten Tuesday, so we decided we will do one every week. This bookish meme was hosted by The Broke and the Bookish, and has been going since June 2010! Since January 2018 Top Ten Tuesday is hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl.
This week’s topic is Characters I’d Love An Update On, where are they now that the book is over? I had a couple of characters that came to mind right away. But others were a bit harder to come up with. Let’s see which characters I picked!
1.Lara Jean & Peter K. | To All The Boys I’ve Loved Before – Jenny Han
This was the first thing that came to mind when I saw the prompt for this week! The moment I finished the third book in this series I saw a sequel series in my mind. It would be so great to read about Lara Jean at university. I would pre order all the books!
2. Cassie | The Naturals – Jennifer Lynn Barnes
It’s been years since I read the Naturals but I would still love an update. I really enjoyed this series and the main characters have a special place in my heart. It would be great to know how they are doing now and if they have somewhat healed from their trauma’s.
3. Addie LaRue | The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue – V.E. Schwab
I think this might be the book I finished most recently on this list. Addie has an amazing story but it is also very heart breaking. I adored the ending and thought it was perfect. But at the same time it would be great to get a little update. Or maybe a novella haha. There is going to be a movie so maybe I’ll get the update that way.
4. Manon Blackbeak | Throne of Glass – Sarah J. Maas
Manon is my favorite character in the Throne of Glass series (and one of them in general). So of course I would love an update on her. I want to read everything about her, past present and future. While some of that would be extremely heart breaking I hope the future holds something beautiful for her.
5. The Crows | Six of Crows – Leigh Bardugo
These are some of my very favourite characters of ever so an update would be great. Maybe a slice-of-life novella. Or that hinted at third novel haha. I just need to know how my favs are doing! There were some kinda loose ends so it would be great to revisit those.
6. Cath | Fangirl – Rainbow Rowell
One of the first characters I really felt like I could relate to, so Cath is a character I would love to get an update on. Is she still relatable or did our lives go in very different directions? I would love to know!
7. Ariadne, Elena, Jack & Chikondi | To Be Taught If Fortunate – Becky Chambers
If you’ve read this book, you know why I NEED an update on these 4 haha. I loved this book a lot and that ending was just heart breaking. This is a book I won’t forget anytime soon and I wish I got to pick up a sequel. Of course the book is probably so good because of the ending but still 😉
8. Elle | Foul is Fair – Hannah Capin
This book was AMAZING. And while Elle made some questionable choices, they were also understandable. I loved reading about her and her journey of revenge. It would be great to see her on a journey of healthy healing after all that she has been through.
9. Rowan | The Turn of the Key – Ruth Ware
This is another one with an ending that warrants an update. I loved this mystery thriller but it would be amazing to get like a novella or something. This story was great but the ending was also a bit of a beginning. And I just need to know more haha. How is Rowan doing? Where did she end up?
10. Daisy Jones | Daisy Jones & The Six – Taylor Jenkins Reid
I loved this book a lot! The audiobook was amazing and I would love to know how Daisy Jones is doing these days. There is going to be a limited tv-series and the cast they announced it amazing. I’m super excited for this upcoming show and I hope to also get a tiny update on how Daisy has been doing after the book.

And that was my Top Ten Tuesday for this week. Which character would you like an update on? Or maybe even a whole book or spin-off series? Let me know in the comments!
Ooo yes! I would love an update on Addie and Manon too! They are amazing characters who stories were pretty open!
Great list! Quite a few of these are on my TBR but I’d love to know how Lara Jean and Peter K are doing. Manon is a popular one today (I still haven’t finished the series but I did love her character)! It’d be cool to get an update for Daisy Jones too 😃

I also want a Daisy Jones update. I’m hoping that the series gives us a glimpse into the eventual Billy and Daisy coffee date. sigh
Happy TTT!

Agree with Manon so much! I just want something about her and Dorian!!!!
I’m so excited for the Daisy Jones adaptation! The Naturals also made my list this week–the author did a great follow-up novella, if you haven’t read it! 🙂
Same here for The Crows!
Lauren @ Always Me
Great list – I really must get around to reading Addie La Rue soon, it has been stuck on my TBR for too long. And Daisy Jones was a great choice.
This is my TTT this week: books with particularly open and inviting endings which invite you to wonder where they are now.
Cath from Fangirl and Menon from Throne of Glass I would definitely like updates on too!
