You know, I made a list sort of like this one. I think yours great, may I add some more books? I mean, there's so MANY books with no sequel! Every second book or so stands alone...
Could you please, please, please vote at my list ? It's called "Books I wish had a sequel". You could look for the words:" sequel" or "goodreads".

THANKs

i started to vote because there are some great books on this list, but as a general rule, i don't like sequels. i find sequel books to be formulaic and ultimately to lose their power.

I couldn't agree more. That is why I created this list, so that we could find some good books without sequels. Unfortunately some of the books that have been added now have sequels but I try to keep a lookout and remove any that I find do.

Hi there. I thought that I had discovered a list, called to die for stand alone books or something, then to my horror half of them if not more where again books of a series. Well this list was what I was searching for so thanks for making this. getting sick and confused reading so many YA dystopian books that are also part of series.

I loved lauren Oliver's book Before I fall. Highly recommend.

Does anyone know how to remove a book from the list? Beautiful Disaster (which is a good book) now has a sequel and should not be on the list.

I think I've figured out how to remove books from this list that now have sequels - you have to delete them from your list of books that you voted for. For example: if you voted for "The Shadow of the Wind" then you have to delete the book from your list of votes.

What about books like Gone with the Wind. Margaret Mitchell did NOT write a sequel but some other idiots tried. I feel they should not have been allowed to do such a thing. It should be protected.

A Librarian - or someone with Librarian status - can help you. Also, they have an ongoing thread for Listopia deletion requests, here:

https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...

When making the request, be sure to give the link to the list, and as much info on which books need to be removed.

And I understand the frustration. I have checked quite a few "stand alone" list and a good % of the list has series books on them. It's so difficult to find "true" stand alone books.
