My mother also said the same thing. But then again...do we really want to know or would it just spoil the feeling we all got from the first book!DesertHenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14299030668463978206noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8604964110596941640.post-59295174708559878302011-10-13T22:25:39.731-05:002011-10-13T22:25:39.731-05:00I can't think of any either.

A lot of writers no doubt find themselves under pressure to "write more of the same" (by their agents, publishers, or their own mental hobgoblins) -- iow sequels are a kind of safe career choice. But that isn't the same as finding a good place to start telling a story . . .Kirstenhttp://www.kirstenmortensen.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8604964110596941640.post-63420829929263889902011-10-13T10:11:11.929-05:002011-10-13T10:11:11.929-05:00As I said in my post, if there's a good reason...As I said in my post, if there's a good reason or a good story to be told with the same characters in the same universe, I'm all for a good sequel.

I would be curious what happened to the ladies in The Help but I'd be afraid a sequel would mess up the magic of the original story.<br /><br /><b><i>Trish: </i></b><a href="http://talesfromtrish.blogspot.com/2011/10/booking-through-thursday-sequel.html" rel="nofollow"><b><i>My BTT Post</i></b></a>Trishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16880158781070139495noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8604964110596941640.post-86049088285843585212011-10-13T08:51:41.918-05:002011-10-13T08:51:41.918-05:00Hi!
