I remember diving into the 2017 bestsellers and noticing how many of them sparked sequels or spin-offs. 'The Hate U Give' by Angie Thomas was such a powerful read that it got a companion novel, 'Concrete Rose,' which explores Maverick’s backstory. 'Turtles All the Way Down' by John Green didn’t get a sequel, but his fans are still hoping. Then there’s 'Into the Water' by Paula Hawkins, which didn’t spawn a sequel, but her earlier work, 'The Girl on the Train,' got a film adaptation hype that kept the buzz alive. Some books, like 'Little Fires Everywhere' by Celeste Ng, became TV series, which is a kind of spin-off in its own right. It’s fascinating how some stories grow beyond their original pages while others stand alone.

2017 was a fantastic year for books, and many of them did get sequels or spin-offs, expanding their universes in exciting ways. Take 'Oathbringer' by Brandon Sanderson, part of the 'Stormlight Archive' series—it naturally led to 'Rhythm of War' in 2020, continuing the epic saga. 'Origin' by Dan Brown didn’t get a direct sequel, but his Robert Langdon series always leaves room for more adventures.

Then there’s 'Artemis' by Andy Weir, which didn’t receive a sequel, but fans of 'The Martian' were thrilled when 'Project Hail Mary' came out, even if it wasn’t a direct follow-up. On the lighter side, 'Eleanor Oliphant Is Completely Fine' by Gail Honeyman remained a standalone, but its impact was so huge that rumors of adaptations swirl every now and then.

Some books, like 'The Power' by Naomi Alderman, are being developed into TV series, which often opens doors for expanded storytelling. It’s interesting to see how publishers and creators decide which stories get to grow and which ones remain singular masterpieces.

I’ve noticed that 2017’s bestsellers had a mixed fate when it came to sequels or spin-offs. 'The Gentleman’s Guide to Vice and Virtue' by Mackenzi Lee got a delightful sequel, 'The Lady’s Guide to Petticoats and Piracy,' which fans adored. 'Children of Blood and Bone' by Tomi Adeyemi was always planned as a series, so 'Children of Virtue and Vengeance' followed naturally.

On the other hand, 'Lincoln in the Bardo' by George Saunders is such a unique work that it’s hard to imagine a sequel, and it hasn’t gotten one. 'Sing, Unburied, Sing' by Jesmyn Ward also stands alone, though its depth leaves readers craving more.

Some books, like 'Autumn' by Ali Smith, are part of a seasonal quartet, so while not direct sequels, they expand on similar themes. It’s a reminder that not every great story needs a continuation—sometimes its power lies in its singularity.

I remember diving into the 2017 bestsellers list and being blown away by the variety of authors who dominated the charts. Margaret Atwood's 'The Handmaid’s Tale' sequel, 'The Testaments,' wasn’t out yet, but her original work gained even more traction thanks to the TV adaptation. Then there was Colson Whitehead with 'The Underground Railroad,' a gripping novel that won the Pulitzer Prize. I also couldn’t escape the buzz around 'Little Fires Everywhere' by Celeste Ng—her storytelling is so immersive. And who could forget 'Origin' by Dan Brown? His knack for blending history and thriller elements always hooks me. These authors really defined the literary landscape that year.

I remember diving deep into the 2017 bestseller lists because I was obsessed with tracking which authors dominated the charts. That year, it was clear that James Patterson was the undisputed king of bestsellers. He had an insane number of books hitting the lists, from thrillers like 'The Black Book' to collaborations like 'The Store' with Richard DiLallo. Patterson’s ability to consistently produce gripping stories across genres—mystery, romance, even YA—kept him at the top. Other big names like Danielle Steel and Stephen King also had strong showings, but Patterson’s volume was unmatched. His co-authored works and standalone novels seemed to be everywhere, making him the publishing powerhouse of 2017.

One of my favorites was Colson Whitehead, who penned 'The Underground Railroad'—a gripping tale that blends history and fiction seamlessly. Then there's Dan Brown with 'Origin', another thrilling addition to his Robert Langdon series. Margaret Atwood also made a splash with 'The Handmaid’s Tale' sequel, 'The Testaments', though it technically came later, her influence was undeniable that year. I also adored Celeste Ng’s 'Little Fires Everywhere', a beautifully written exploration of family dynamics. And let’s not forget J.K. Rowling, who, under the pseudonym Robert Galbraith, released 'Lethal White', another compelling entry in the Cormoran Strike series. These authors really defined 2017 for me with their unforgettable stories.

I remember 2017 being a fantastic year for book-to-movie adaptations, especially with bestsellers making their way to the big screen. One of the most talked-about was 'The Dark Tower' by Stephen King, which blended fantasy and western elements in a way that captivated audiences. Another standout was 'Wonder' by R.J. Palacio, a heartwarming story about a boy with facial differences navigating school life. The film adaptation did justice to the book's emotional depth. 'Murder on the Orient Express' by Agatha Christie also got a stylish remake, with Kenneth Branagh directing and starring as Hercule Poirot. These adaptations brought beloved stories to life, though fans often debate how well they matched the original books. Other notable mentions include 'The Zookeeper's Wife' by Diane Ackerman and 'My Cousin Rachel' by Daphne du Maurier, both of which offered rich narratives and strong performances.

What Best Sellers 2017 Books Became Anime Series?

I remember 2017 being a fantastic year for book-to-anime adaptations. One standout was 'The Ancient Magus' Bride', based on the manga by Kore Yamazaki. The story follows Chise Hatori, a girl sold into slavery who becomes the apprentice and bride of a mysterious sorcerer. The anime beautifully captures the gothic fantasy vibe of the original, with lush animation and a haunting soundtrack. Another hit was 'Blame!', adapted from Tsutomu Nihei's cyberpunk manga. The film condensed the dense, atmospheric world into a tight sci-fi thriller. 'Kino's Journey' also got a reboot that year, though the original light novels date back earlier. The 2017 version retained the philosophical travelogue feel, following Kino and their talking motorcycle Hermes as they explore strange countries. 'The Saga of Tanya the Evil' was another big one, based on the light novels by Carlo Zen. It's a wild mix of military strategy, alternate history, and dark fantasy, with Tanya being reborn as a ruthless child soldier in a World War I-esque setting. These adaptations proved that 2017 was a golden year for bringing intricate literary worlds to anime.
