Books that are connected but not need to understand a series. Like how Ender's Game series has a offshoot series from the point of view of another character Ender's Shadow or Vampire Academy has an offshoot series from another character Bloodlines or the Warrior series has a bunch of guides, manga, and specials that aren't need to understand the series but are nice to have.

Most of them I found out about through a group on here that finds books that people can't re-find and I have another one I forgot to add to that list I think I got from a friend on here adding it: Genesis

Adriana Cool. I have Genesis as one of my to-reads.

Finished Genesis by Bernard Beckett , I liked it but was shocked by the ending. I started Daughters of the North by Sarah Hall which is so far pretty good.

Finished The Road by Cormac McCarthy I didn't like it and have no idea how you could turn it into a movie and started Z For Zachariah by Robert C. O'Brien .

Finished Z For Zachariah by Robert C. O'Brien it was okay, but I got upset at the main character.
