This week's topic is such a rabbit hole through which to travel. There are so many great choices. Since time is limited, I will stick with my top three.
The Thorn Birds by Colleen McCullough spands sixty years, so one could argue what else is there left to say? For me, I always felt Justine got the short end of the stick. A sequel told from her point of view or taking her from the end of this book through her own life would be interesting.
Admittedly, I haven't fully read Marilla of Green Gables by Sarah McCoy yet, for no other reason than lack of time. What I think would be a great sequel for McCoy to tackle is a story about Matthew Cuthbert. He tends to be the forgotten one, but I feel he could be a fascinating character in his own right.
The Rocky Bluff P.D. books by F. M. Meredith are already a series. Though I know it won't happen, I would love to see a Gordon Butler spinoff. Gordon has long been my favorite character, and it would be wonderful to see his story continue.
Looking forward to seeing what you shared.

I haven't read any of these, but I can see how there'd still be so much more to tell with The Thorn Birds.
I’d love to read a book about Matthew!
I've not read these books but I enjoyed your post!
Thanks for visiting, Aymee. So nice to see you here.
I feel like there is so much left to explore, Lydia. Thanks for the visit.
Thanks, George. So glad you stopped by.
Those are all very interesting choices, and I can think of several books where I'd love to see a spin-off with some of the main characters -- or just have a brief chance to revisit that world.
Marilla would have to have had a good story, but I'd always wonder why Montgomery didn't tell that story herself...
Really good choices.
Me, too, Priscilla. Do you think it could have been because her focus was Anne and her children and that she felt the story was done after eight books? Thanks for sharing your thoughts.
Thanks, Kathy. Appreciate the visit.
