Why: Um, because we spent the entire book waiting to see Elizabeth Bennet and Mr. Darcy get together and now we don't even get to read about the rest of their magical lives together? IS THIS A SICK JOKE?
Suggested Title: Love & Loveliness.

Why: It'd be cool to see Holden grow up! We could see him figure himself out and maybe even be happy? Or he can continue being crabby and angsty — it doesn't really matter, because his narration is addictive and there should be more of it in existence.
Suggested Title: The Pitcher in the Rye

Suggested Title: 2015

Why: This book ended on such an uplifting note, and it'd be nice to see Celie's life with her family by her side.
Suggested Title: The Color Magenta
