Have you ever lost track of a favorite book from your childhood because you can’t remember the title or author? Do you have the story on the tip of your tongue? Can you explain the plot, describe the cover, or know the era, but just can’t remember the one detail you need in order to actually find the book? We’ve been there and know exactly how frustrating this can be. Below are a few tips we’ve used when searching for a lost book we love.
Tips to Find a Book When You Don’t Know the Title or Author
If you’re currently suffering from a case of book amnesia, try some of these tricks to see if they can spark your memory and help you remember more than a vague cover image or a quirky side character you loved.
First, Wrack Your Brain for Book Memories
When it comes to finding a book you have only a vague recollection of, you need to fish out everything you can possibly remember about it from your memories. Answer the below questions to see if they help you recover any additional information about your book.
- What did the cover look like? Do you only remember a fuzzy image that’s predominately one color? Even that is a clue! If you think hard, do you remember any elements on it? Was the author’s name in large print, or was the title large? Any of these details can be the difference between success or failure.
- Can you remember a phrase, quote, or a particular paragraph of the book? Sometimes you can remember lines you felt were funny or meaningful or just plain weird. Write them down as best you can for your search. Odds are that same phrase may have stood out to someone else too.
- What can you remember from the plot? Even if you’re not entirely confident, write down what you think you remember. You might find your memory looks something like “boy gets kidnapped. Girl best friend says she’ll find him. I think she becomes a detective at some point or runs into him later in life and they fall in love. The boy may be involved in drugs or something sketchy when she runs into him. I think at one point he wakes up in a dumpster.” Even though you’re not one hundred percent certain, you can try different searches with the elements you think are there and hopefully in one combination, you’ll get a hit. Or, hopefully your details will be close enough that someone else can piece the elements together.
- Can you remember any characters’ names? Remembering one or two of the characters’ names will also be a huge help in your search. Even if they’re side characters and not main characters, write them down.
- What genre was it? If it was fantasy, do you remember any details to narrow it down to a subcategory of fantasy?
- Do you remember any other story-related details, like a city name, street, location, pet, era, etc.?
- Do you remember any details related to publishing? Do you remember whether your school or library that you got the book from often bought books from a certain publisher? Do you remember when the book was published? For example, if it was a book you read from your childhood, then you know you can exclude any recent publications. Or, perhaps you remember that it was a new book that came out when you were in high school, then you’ll know to look for books published only in those few years. Do you remember any other similar authors that people seemed to also read if they liked the book you’re trying to remember?
Remember to write down as much information as you can, and maybe you’ll remember some more details in the process of finding your lost book.
Google and Other Search Engines
When you first try to search for a forgotten novel, you probably turn to Google or a similar search engine. Unfortunately, your average search may not be able to get you the results you’re looking for. Because of the vast volume of novels with similar plot elements and various SEO tactics and companies skewing the search results to favor their products, unless the book you’re searching for happens to be one of the most popular books of its kind, you’re going to have to do a deep Google.
Let me explain. If you’re looking for a book about mermaids, but you’re definitely not looking for something super popular like Disney’s The Little Mermaid, you may become frustrated that no matter what variation of “mermaid” search terms you try, you still find Little Mermaid results popping up on top because Disney can afford to pay people a lot of money to make sure their products stay on top of the search results.
So when searching for a forgotten novel, you’ll often have to use all the different details you remember from the book with Google’s different search functions. For example, quotations will be your friend to make sure Google doesn’t try to eliminate distinguishing details. The addition symbol will be useful for linking multiple elements into one search. Try using the Advanced Google Search Page with filters like subject, publisher, language, and publication date as well. Another tip is to always check the image results. If you’re on the right track, then sometimes an image result will appear more quickly than general search results. There are other advanced Google search skills that you can give a try too, like excluding specific keywords or using the wildcard operator to guess the name of a character.
Google Books Search
The Google Books Library Project now makes it possible to find books by searching through their text and content. The Books Search reference page also displays book specific information like various covers, tables of content, common terms and phrases, and popular passages from the books. You can quickly view sample pages to ensure that the book you’ve found is the book you’ve been looking for.
There are several other book databases you can find as well, such as Book Finder, Word Cat, LibraryThing, Book Sleuth, Goodreads, Amazon’s Advanced Book Search, and Library of Congress. However, if you haven’t been able to find the book you’re looking for with a Google search, you probably don’t have enough information to find it in one of these databases either. If you want to give some of these a try though, these are some of the ones we find the most useful.
- Book Cave: This site has the unique feature of being able to search through a rated books database. So if you know a book was a children’s book, you can avoid any adult rated book. Or if you know it’s an adult rated book you can exclude anything milder.
- The Library of Congress: This the biggest online library in the world and has a search engine capable of combining search parameters with keywords. There’s also an interesting option called “Ask a Librarian” where you can send an email and try asking for help in finding your book.
- Worldcat: Worldcat is a catalog of over 70 thousand libraries in 160 countries. Here you can look for a specific keyword, and you’ll get a list of book titles in various languages. There’s also a “Fiction Finder” section where you can search for a book by a character or place in addition to a keyword.
- Big Book Search: If you can only remember what the cover looks like, try this cover-search tool.
- If you can remember just one word of the title, use the search function on Goodreads or Library Thing to find long lists of titles with a particular word.
- Goodreads’ browse-able lists of titles that readers have shelved in unique categories, such as authors’ professions or decades of publication, may also be helpful.
Turn to Reddit or Other Popular Book Forums
Is there anything that the people of the internet don’t know? If computerized searches fail and you need a personalized touch, there are thousands of fellow book lovers out there who would love to help you out. Places like Reddit, Tumblr, Goodreads, and several other bookish forums have book sleuths that seem to be able to solve even the vaguest of mysteries. Reddit in particular has several dedicated sections such as Tip of My Tongue, What’s That Book, Books, and PrintSF for when you can only remember the cover. Just take a scroll through the book section of Reddit to find a thread that best meets your needs. If Reddit isn’t your thing, check out some of these other book forums and groups:
- Goodreads What’s the Name of That Book? is a group that will help solve your book mystery after you’ve done a valiant effort to first find it yourself.
- LibraryThing’s Name That Book is another place where you can post about your forgotten novel. Just follow their instructions and try to wrack your brain for as many details as you can, and fellow readers will do what they can to find your book.
- Stump the Bookseller is a blog run by a cool indie bookstore in Ohio that offers a $4 dollar service to help readers find lost books, specifically childhood books. Plus they have large searchable archives that you may find helpful as well.
- The Fiction_L listserv is another place where you might be able to get some help, although they don’t seem to have a section dedicated exclusively to finding lost books.
Ask Your Own Social Network and Community
Post on all your social networks, reach out to friends from the time when you were reading the book, and ask a local librarian or even old school teachers. You might be surprised to find that your personal community is the missing link needed to find your book. Communities often have similar interests, so the books you enjoyed as a child might be the same books your friends and others in your town also enjoyed and borrowed from the library.
Your own circle may be especially helpful if you can remember the time that you read the book. If you know you read the book in junior high or high school, reach out to your friends from that era and see if they remember anything about the books you were reading back then. If you’re like me, you probably have a whole friendship circle of readers and you probably not only told them about every book you read but also offered to let them read it as well so you could talk about it. You never know what odd memories a person may be able to recall from their past.
When All Else Fails
If you’ve gone through all of these things and still aren’t able to find the elusive book you’re looking for, then you may have to accept that it’s not going to happen or even that you may not be remembering it correctly. I remember one story about a person looking for a particular Danielle Steele book who later realized the book she was looking for was actually by Daniel Silva. These kinds of close but not quite recollections are understandably frustrating because while you’re confident you’re looking for the right thing, in the end you were actually going down the wrong rabbit hole the entire time and may not even have realized it.
Another consideration is whether what you’re looking for is even real. There have also been times in my life that I’ve been convinced something that happened in a dream was real life, and oftentimes my dreams take up various elements of books I’ve read. Could you possibly be remembering a detail wrong or combining several different books from your past? Whatever the case may be, hopefully you can at least be somewhat cheered up by the list of books you’ve uncovered in your search that at least have many similar elements to what you were looking for.
Happy reading!
My daughter (now in her mid 30’s) posed a question about a book she read from her childhood to her mother, sister and me. All she can remember is this rather vague description: “I’m looking for the title of a book I LOVED as a kid/teen. Its about a girl who snuck up to an attic in her grandma’s (?) house and found a trunk with a dress in it. She put it on and time traveled. There was a also a Christmas book about time travel I believe with the same girl. I think her name was maybe Mandy/Molly?
It’s NOT the Mandie and the Secret Tunnel series i know that”
Does not ring a bell for me but both my other daughter and their mother recognized the description but can’t come up with the title, author or anything additional.
Any help/assistance/suggestions greatly appreciated.
I’m looking for a book with a man name Troy, he’s a Pastor/ Christian which I believe is married. A lady, or old time friend came along and she started to lust deeply at Troy but I’m not so sure if Troy had the same feelings or probably he did. The book describes how Troy looked in the eyes of the woman and I remember it mentioned his eyes were blue. I got this book many years ago for my birthday but wasn’t able to even read 5 chapters because my cousin pressured me to lend her in which I wasn’t going to. Then I went to her house with it one evening because I was resting when she called me over and I went, I left it there my mistake and I never got it back. Help me please someone.
There was this kids book where this village boy was friends with this troll or giant named Destra and she was the smallest of her kind? I think she was some kind of ice troll or something and there were like three books in the series I think and one of the book covers was purple and some kind of chess game. I remember specifically that the girls name was Destra and she was either a giant or a troll and that she was the smallest
Okay, so here’s what I remember from all those years ago 1972-1974. This book is about two boys that find a crusty old book in their garage. The book is about a secret club. Inside it has lots of illustrations including instructions on how to make a paper mask, a spear and other things that are used in the secret society.

Thanks!

I’m looking for a book I read back in the 1970’s, about a high school girl from a small town is beaten and raped in a park by the “rich, popular guy on campus”. She didn’t report it to the police because the few people she shared her story with were very unsupportive. Although her life feels shattered she continues by moving to another town across the country to attend college trying to forget this nightmare. Years later she sees that this same “rich, popular guy” has risen in the political arena and is now running for Senator/Congressman, she then volunteers to work on his election committee … after all the years that have passed he has absolutely no idea who she is … and she turns the table on him … don’t want to give away the ending!

So I don’t remember the title, author or book cover all I remember is that it’s about a girl who lost her diary and now these group of boys have it and in order to recover it she has to face her fears of what she wrote in her diary so the boys dare her to do the what they say or they will expose her diary (for example she wrote about having a crush on a guy and wanting to kiss him but doesn’t have the guts to do it but the boys dare her to go to a party and kiss the guy by the end of the night. Another example is when they read that she is scared to sing out in the public but they force her to sing karaoke in a coffee shop) I been trying to look for the book for a long time pls help me!!
I’ve looked everywhere to find this book I read long ago. I only remember vague details. There was a teen girl who moved to this big house in a small town right next to the ocean with her younger brother and mom I believe. It was written from the teen girls perspective, I believe. She had the room on the top floor and there was a point when she jumped or fell into the ocean. There was a passage in the book where she goes outside and sees her brother playing by some trees in their yard. I can’t remember if there was a boy involved for a love interest, but there may be. That’s all I can remember. It’s driving me insane that I cannot remember this book. Thank you so much for any help. I’ve googled every word combination I can think of but nothing is helping.
Looking for the book i thought was a Dr. Seuss Book where the Character is stuck in the middle of the road, can decide which way to go.

I remember the beginning it was girl who’s mom got a call from the hospital and her uncle was in the hospital (potentially??)) her mom had a jeep they drove in. When they arrived at the hospital there was a church in the hospital. A girl who had cancer talked to mc and mc would pray for her. Later on something happens where her mom put up a T with her arms to sign it ment a time out. Mc later meets up with an old friend and ends up spending the day with her. They make brownies (i think) and she goes to a diner with them. They ride boats on the lake and one of the boats has a ladybug on it. This is all I remember about it.
Main person is Robyn, she was a journalist that was investigating hotel or building fires and her husband or boyfriend died in a hotel fire. She testified and was put in the witness protection program. Robyn is a teacher now. While out for a run she met a new tenet in her apartment which she became involved with and he turned out the be a lawyer. In the mean time her protection officer Shelia shows up and gets involved with the lawyer’s brother. In the end Shelia is being paid to kill her.

I am desperately trying to remember the name or author of 3 novels with the same character. I think the author was an x lawyer or investigator. Genre is crime, thriller. I think the 3 novels were his only publications. Character was a guy who grew up in the Bronx or Harlem and became a lawyer. He got an innocent African American off death row and the 2 became friends and business partners. It’s not John Grisham or Peter James but similar style. I read them about 15 years ago so must have been published around the early 2000s. Someone asked me my favourite books and these were it because after i read the first one i got the next two and holed myself up until i finished them which i have never done before or since. I have tried google but no luck. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

It’s Danny, the Champion of the World
In the 1970s, I came across an adult black-and-white comic book while traveling through the Midwest with my parents. The magazine might have been “Creepy” or “Eerie.” I was a child, and my folks wouldn’t have bought me a comic book intended for mature readers. Standing in the store, I didn’t have time to read the whole thing, but I can still recall a sequence where a scrawny, long-haired man enters a young woman’s home — possibly a secluded cabin in the woods — with an enormous blade. He slices her belly open and pulls out a new-born infant. I remember how black and sticky the blood looked. Does anybody know what that was?
Childrens’ Late 1970’s Sex Ed Book
Medium Format Glossy Color Photos w Explicit Full Page Images of Sexual Organs & Sexual Acts on white backgrounds. Bottom 3rd had 3 quotes about what the image depicted spoken by three people Each with an inserted rectangle headshot Old Lady /Young Lady/ Young Man
I had this book as a child in the 1970’s. My parents gave it to me so that I could learn about sex as a natural act and not in any way shameful. The book was absolutely graphic ( yet not really pornographic) with erections and semen and moist vaginas and intercourse etc. all presented in bright warm colors. The actors in the photos were the same two clean thin yet supple twenty something white people throughout. Many of the photo spreads extended across the full width of both pages. I remember as a kid trying to push the book flat to see the entire image. The quotes shown in print along the bottom third of the page were coupled with small head shots revealing the facial expressions of the people who said them. Each page with a new picture had new facial expressions and quotes. I remember their attitudes about what was being depicted were quite funny to me as a kid. The old lady quotes were prudish if I recall and her clothing was stuffy. The young woman’s quotes gave an opposing view and were all about how beautiful and natural it all was and she dressed very casually. This I guess where the “education” was delivered. Anyway I imagine this book was published around the time “The Joy of Sex” became a best seller. I have always wanted to find it to look at it again and see how accurate my memory is of the book. Like I think as a kid the book was very large like oversized but now maybe I imagined it bigger than it was. Anyway I sincerely hope someone out there knows what this book was titled. It could have had a very small run. We were located in the North Eastern US if that helps at all.

Hi, to anyone reading this
I’m trying to find a graphic novel in black-and-white from my earlier school years, but can’t remember title or author.
The parts i remember aren’t necessarily consecutive, but in order from the start to end. The (?) means that i can’t actually remember the specifics or not certain of detail. The [skipping pages] means that i skip through the book, so the next detail that happens isn’t automatically after prior detail.
It involves genocidal robots, and is set in a modern/futuristic setting, that transits to a ruined city/desert.
During an attack on a city/town(?), one of the robots was left in a critical condition. Nearby, a young boy on the verge of death was lying there, facing upwards, and is shown with most of his right side of his body crushed/gone. Searching for a means of survival, the robot assimilates with the young boy’s body, as the boy black-out from the pain wondering what was going to happen.
The robot, possessing the boy’s body, then uses his metallic appendages to “fill” the right side of the body, assuming the form of his right eye, right hand, and right leg, making up the right-hand side of his body, with the excess trailing behind him as metallic tendrils, similar to other robot tentacles, as his upper body is mostly exposed/shirtless.
Haven taken control of the body, the newly defined “cyborg” then heads towards a certain scientist/engineer’s home, then proceeds to take his life. Having regained consciousness, the boy’s will breaks through the robots dominance and tells the scientist to flee, but the robot then regains control and crushes the scientist with his robotic hand. After the assassination, a young girl, presumed to be the daughter of the scientist, oblivious to the murder, was found by the cyborg. Unlike the scientist, she was spared, and followed the cyborg, side-by-side.
As for the young boy, his consciousness taking the form of his original body, was trapped in a “mental jail” with the robot’s intact mental form standing there as his warden(?), but the boy unable to regain control of his body, in spite of his pleas towards the robot, as he ends up swallowed (by chains, memories or darkness, that part is hazy, with the next part).
[this was the first half of the graphic novel i can remember “clearly”, this second part is nearer the second-half, mostly near the end. I don’t know any details, so i can’t say why for the events that happens next]
Wandering the sand-like wastelands, the two come across a gang/clan of motorcycle riding scavengers, only about 5-to-10(?) years older than the boy, with a woman/young lady as the ringleader. The cyborg also seems to have no ill will(?) towards them, and he, the girl, and the gang travel together. As they go, the young boy, unable to affect the robot, watches(?) as he is unable to reassume control.
[skipping pages]
After a while, a piggybank-sized piece of debris from the ruined buildings fell on top of the young girl’s head as the bike leader cries out. The debris hits the young girl, causing a nasty dent in her head. Then unexpectedly, the damage just automatically healed, with the young girl’s chirpy demeanor unchanged, despite the shock on the multiple biker’s faces.
It then turns out that, unbeknown to the cyborg, the young girl was an android human, created by her “father”.
[skipping pages]
An genocidal robot, hunting down the “defective”(?) robot that makes up the cyborg, then confronts and procedes to “terminate” the cyborg, as the cyborg fights back in an “self-presavation” manner, as the boy cries out for control as the physical pain (?) from the confrontation, shocks the boy’s mental body.
In a moment of rage, (half-remembering a quote: “sometimes all that’s left is power”) the boy jumps on the robot’s mental body, wrapping it in ink-black shadows, causing the robot’s control to cease.
Immediately regaining control of his body, the boy plunges his left human hand through the hunter robot’s body/frame and as the oil sprays from the hunter, (may be misremembering this next part) his mental body and physical body say the same phrase: “I won’t let you take control anymore!”
After the confrontation, the cyborg’s mental world shifts roles, as the boy’s mental body stands before a chained-up robot, as they exchange words. As the boy’s mental body turns to leave, he notes to the robot that the robot’s speech pattern has started to resemble more that of a human.
Parting ways with the bikers, the cyborg and young girl/android continues to wander together. (This should be on/near the last page of the graphic novel) The two, standing on top of the dunes of sand, looks towards the horizon. As the young android maintains her upbeat look, the cyborg’s dull eyes gives no indication of who is in control. (last panel)
And that is all the main details i can recall, while i’m unsure of this being the start of a series, or just a stand-alone book, i am certain that this book should have been published before the year 2013.
This novel stood out in my memories due to the internal conflict of boy and robot, as they share a crude fusion of their bodies. I’m also about 80% certain that this is a graphic novel, as opposed to manga, due to the reading direction of left to right.
It may be a version of The Night Before Christmas. Santa is standing in front of a fireplace with his bag of toys. There is a Christmas tree and a little dog.
This book had seven? main characters and each character had a tattoo of a planet on their wrist. Each character also had a power. I remember one had the powers of a seer (she was female), one could create power balls and sense the energy or aura of a person (also female). Normally the one who could sense auras would see a cloud like substance around the person she is looking at and it would either be white, light gray, dark gray, or black. But she comes across individuals that have other colors in their aura such as green, yellow, red, blue, etc…these colors are from science experiments that changed the seven individuals genes? DNA?
Six of the individuals had found each other and were drawn to the female who senses auras, whom they found walking? on the side of the road. The young woman had hitchhiked to a town? I’m not sure. And she had accidently left a bag in the mans (the person who had picked her up) truck.
She was told where the man lived and started to walk there, which is where the group of six had found her. They dropped her off at the farm and waited while she asked for her bag, but when the door opened to the farmhouse? she fainted.
That’s most of what I remember. Oh, and the young woman had a strange connection to the man who was one of the six. She and the other six had lost their memories, were given money, ID’S, and stayed at different hotels. But the woman was known to sleepwalking and had sleepwalking into an alleyway a few blocks? from the hotel she was supposed to be staying at.
Also this book is one of a series and is a Kindle fantasy fiction book.
This book was about man and wife, last name angel . There was a train wreck. A family on the train, parents die , they had several children. The angel Gabriel is worker at the train site. The Angel can’t have kids end up adopting kids on train
So I’m from the UK, England to be specific (might make a difference!).
This was 100% a short story, or an extract of a story that was edited into an anthology of short stories for children. I’d say between say I was between 7 and 10 which would be in the late ’90s and early ’00s. I thought it was the puffin “Stories for 8 year olds,” but I don’t think it is. So I’d be over the moon and ever so grateful if you know what it is called! We don’t have the book at home anymore so I unfortunately can’t just go and look it up anymore.
So the story was about a Mum who was really silly and scatty. I vaguely remember that the beginning of the story was the young girl was trying to get to school (I think it was school) on time as she was always late, and I think it was winter. The girl was all wrapped up in their winter coat with hat, scarf, and gloves etc. She was waiting by the front door and calling up the stairs to her mum saying hurry up! When the mother eventually came downstairs she was wearing summer clothes. I have a feeling that it was she was wearing a sparkly silver top with spaghetti straps, a short (bright, maybe yellow) skirt and strappy heels even though it was snowing outside and they had to walk to get to the school. The mum may have even had just one shoe bc she couldn’t find the other shoe. Maybe it was the shoes that were silver and sparkly instead of the top. Or even both! It was basically a role reversal where the girl was the mum and the mum was the child. So the girl made the mum go back upstairs and change. I have a very vague memory of her wearing a woollen scarf, but it was really eclectic and mismatched. It was homemade and made up from lots of different sizes of wool, so many colours that made no sense and looked like the scraps and leftover bits had just been thrown in there. There were bits of wool poking out where the ends of the cut wool hadn’t been tucked into the scarf. I think it was made up of different pieces which were different widths and lengths then sewn together. But it really seemed to represent the mother and her scatty, creative, oddball self! In my opinion anyway. There may have also been a baby in a pushchair possibly wearing like a winter coat onsie thing and mittens and hat etc, but it could also have been the girl when she was younger, I really cannot recall. I think it was a sibling though as I think I remember her saying that the baby was getting too hot so she needed to get ready quickly.
Lastly, I thought that there was an extract of “The Diary of a Killer Cat” in the book too; I want to say it was one of the last stories, but throughout my many many attempts at Googling this, I cannot seem to find it ever being part of an anthology type children’s book. And if it was in a collective book, it may not be the same one that the mum/daughter story/extract was in.
Anyway, so unfortunately that is all I can remember. I hope it’s enough and someone knows what I’m going on about! This has been bugging me for so long and I’ve spent hours and hours and hours looking for it with no success. I think I’ve found every childhood story in the world bar the one I desperately wish to find! I just remember loving the story so much and would reread it constantly, so I would just love to know which story I was so obsessed with as a child! So yeah, if you can help I would be so so grateful! Thank you!
My husband went to Sacred Heart School in the Bronx, remembers being read a story by nuns and it was about a moth searching for the light….the moth was always so busy and did not follow when the kings and all the other animals followed..so now the moth is always wandering looking for Jesus. I would love to find out the name..Perhaps in the late 60’s?

I am looking for a book that had a sort of blue colour and it was mainly hardback. It had 4 or 3 children on the cover and there was an aeroplane flying above them in it. The story was about some couple of kids that messed around in a house, they drank some toilet water because they couldn’t find any other source of food and said that it tasted of crystals or something, i can’t remember properly. There was this Pilot as well who got injured and then out of the 3/4 children, there was one girl who helped stitch up his wound and I can’t really remember anything else, except that the next book in the series had a red-coloured book.
Trying to hunt down this book!
Here’s what I have:
Childrens book
Olive green, matte finish hardcover w/o dust jacket
Letter size (8x11ish)
About teddy bears. Whole variety of teddy bears – I vaguely remember a punk or goth bear (dressed in black biker attire), frizzy bear, smooth bear…basically every type of teddy bear.

The band organized a concert in the uk and the girl decided to go there with her friend she met on the internet. She ends up inviting some guy who was interested in the friend and pretended to like the band. In the band was that one guy who had some issues i think and some people revealed who one of the guys was dating.

Here’s a challenge. I posted thison Oct 3 2015. It’s not on earth. It’s not Anne McCaffreys talent series (pegasus in flight specifically keeps being mentioned.) The main character is Twilla I believe PIF has a female named Tirla but it isn’t the same book.
I read this book around or slightly before 2008. It was a paper back. Everything I know/remember is in this Goodreads link. I’ve even tried the library of Congress but nothing came of it.

A young college teacher (by college, i mean high school.. the beginning of the story is based in the UK, so yeah there they say college) who was probably 21-25yrs old. She worked in an all boys college. The boys had to wear uniforms. There was this one “popular” boy who was well-known, well educated, handsome and all teachers liked him, and he had a ‘crush’ on that young teacher. I think the teacher also had a crush on him, but I’m not sure..
After a lot of misunderstandings and confusion, they spent their first night together (both were virgins, i believe) in an cabine/lodge/inn.
Their relationship was kind of a mess but they fell head over heels for each other.
The young teacher got pregnant (but the boy didn’t know). Oh oh i forgot to mention, he has a crooked tooth.. the author always seems to mention that.
She decides to break the relationship between him and travels to another country(i don’t know where but i believe somewhere in Europe).
She gives birth to a daughter, the meets another man who is rich and loves to handle with antiques and goes to antique auctions a lot. They start a relationship. The three of them are happy together but.. she can’t stop thinking about the crooked tooth boy.
Time passes and crooked tooth boy and young teacher meet again, she gets pregnant again with his child, a boy is born. The rich man knows about her relationship with crooked tooth boy but is not mad? And he even doesn’t say anything about it.
In the last few chapters, the rich man dies of stress and old age.. but then i can’t remember anything thing else. Please help me find this book. I can’t stop thinking about it..
A lebanese book.A guy talked about his lover and his family in lebanon and he mentioned some lebanese words and eventually it turned out he was dreaming

A book about an author (possibly of Irish origin) moves to a small village and rents a big house, meets a man at the local pub for a date. Her younger sister is getting married.
this summary is going to be confusing but that is because i have not read the full novel. it’s only 42 pages and is self published. my english teacher reads pages to us as a joke in our creative writing class and im desperate to find it so i can read it myself. the story is about a girl from canada with a police officer as her dad. dead mermaids keep washing up on shore and of course she wants to figure out why. the mermaid king is a horrible man and replaced the main characters father a long time ago. apparently the dad is thousands of years old. he was the merman king but left the ocean to “follow jesus.” towards the end of the story the merman king tries to kill the dad, but jesus shines through his stab wound and heals him…..if anyone has read this or heard about it PLEASE LET ME KNOW. a quote i remember from the book had something to do with scars or cuts looking like “lines from a squishy zebra.” i’m sorry for the vague explanation, i really wish i knew more. i have looked absolutely everywhere but have had no luck whatsoever
I am looking for a book that I read when I was younger (early/mid 2010s) that I’m pretty sure is part of some sort of series/triology. From the remnants of my memory the cover had pink stripes and ??I think an illustration of a young girl?? The book is set in France and is about a girl living with her aunt and siblings/cousins. My memory is really foggy, but I clearly remember enjoying the book. Any help would be very much appreciated.
Thank you 🙂

I think it’s The Mermaid That’s Sweetest by C. Swallow if I’m not mistaken.
Children’s hard paged book about a mother cat that wakes up and her kittens are gone all 5 of them
I bought it in 1984
Each short story in the book has a different animal involved in an adventure with nature or a family
A very old book about a spider who was taught to knit a Web by his mummy spider. It’s a very old book
Fantasy, possibly YA, read around 2010, a girl ends up in a castle and thinks she’s the only human there but finds a wolf there and decides to stay up one night and hides a candle under her pillows and discovers a man instead
It’s kind of similar to a Beauty and the Beast story but it’s not a disney themed one. After the girl sees the guy I know she wakes him up and he’s super angry about it and talks about a curse. I think she needs to love him to break it, but I don’t remember.
i think the book you’re looking for is called echo north, its young adult fiction

Hello, I read a book in 6th grade and I am looking for it again. It was a series, and I remember the cover. The girl had red curly hair (which was often mentioned in the book). She had a symbol on her hand which I remember she was scratching in one scene. She had powers because of this symbol. She is visited by a handsome guy who is often said to look “golden.” She stands in front of a gate to a mansion on the cover. She also had to stay in the mansion after a family member dies. Also, the handsome guy was evil and his name started with an A I believe. A scientist guy dies in a hospital scene too. Please help! I can see the cover in my head but I can’t think of it!

I read a paperback in the late 70’s I enjoyed and can’t remember the title. If memory serves there was a young female (unsure if girl or young woman). Seems like she was sent to or went to, possibly in hiding/escape, a different planet. There was a large creature, long hair, possibly mammoth or elephant size. I recall imagery of long billowing golden? grass/wheat that the creatures ate. I believe it gave them abilities? I think she was able to communicate telepathically with the creatures. Possibly teleport also. Please help… it’s driving me crazy lol. I’ve searched every which way I could think of.
Lord of the Stars? MC is male but there is a girl side character who is fairly prominent. Telepathy, different planet, animals etc.

I am looking for a short story i read in Grade 8 or 9 in which a man is pursued by a robot (alien?) that matches his speed until he overcomes his victim. But by the time this man is caught he lost too much weight so he was let go. This is fairly old because i read it about 35 years ago but the story has always stuck with me. I appreciate any insight you can give me
I think this is one of the short stories in Ray Bradbury’s collection “Golden Apples of the Sun”. I certainly remember reading the story you describe.
Looking for two children’s story book
The first colour is kind of dull brown yellow,I thinkthe boy was being chased by trolls(am not sure)at the ending part of the story the meanest troll was about falling into a bottomless pit when he beg the boy saying “help us” even though he was the only one about to fall
He fell though ,the boy didn’t save him he wasn’t that naive.
The second story is about a bear (not sure) and the books contains different chapters on different lives of the bear there was this this chapter he was with a man smoking a cigar this story is a bit colourful compared to the first one,there was this chapter where the bears(I think the main bear and other members) were hanging upside down on poles and this particular chapter was all green
I received both books as a gift around 2008
I’m looking for a short story about a husband who’s wife (iirc) sends an assassin to kill him. The man goes into his safe for some reason at which point he subtly manages to get the glass the assassin was drinking from into the safe. The man says to the assassin that if he kills him, the police will be able to find him using his fingerprints found on the glass that’s now in the safe. The assassin accuses the man of bluffing since there were two glasses. We can’t be sure if it actually is the assassin’s glass in the safe or not. Anyway, the man turns the tables and essentially gets the assassin to kill his wife instead.
This was one of the stories in the TV series, “Tales of the Unexpected” . Most, if not all of the stories were written by Roald Dahl.
It was called, “A Time to Die”.

Hangin’ Out with CiCi, or My Mother Was Never a Kid, by Francine Pascal
I’ve been looking for a book that I read when I was 14 (more than 10 years ago), I cannot remember the name and unfortunately, I remember very few things of the plot.
The cover has a sword and I believe the title has something to do with knights but haven’t found anything related on my search in google.
The book is set on the medieval age, there’s this ‘boy’ that wants to become a knight and helps young Arthur (this i’m not entirely sure) with his quests to become a royal knight, at the very end there’s a plot twist in which the main character is not a boy but an undercover girl. I remember enjoying so much this book but forgot the name completely.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Alanna: The First Adventure?
Hello Justin!
Thank you very much for your guess but I found it a couple of days ago!!!
The title is: sword of the rightful king
hey you seem smart how did you find the book you were looking for
So there was this book I read once but I forgot the name but it was about 3 teenagers, 1 girl and 2 boys and they were all around the same age. They escaped from the police and their family because they were going to be sent off to died in pretty sure and they came across each other. At first they all didn’t trust each but then they grew on one another. The girl and the oldest guy started falling in love. I also remember a part about them being at a airplane graveyard with other teens like them.
There was a book I read in high school, about eleven years ago. I cannot remember the title or the author but I remember a few vivid details. I recall there being a serial killer targeting women. A man with no association to the killer whatsoever (becomes entangled with the killer by chance) sees a beautiful redheaded woman on a train/subway and this woman happens to become the killer’s next target. There is a climactic ending to the book with the main character being injured, but he survives, and I think the redhead does as well. I feel like I remember the main character owning a bike or a motorcycle of some kind.
I read a fiction novel in the early to mid 80s. It was about a human teacher and her daughter moved to a small town. (One of them was named Nicole). The teacher taught night school for vampire children. I don’t recall the rest, but really want to find it and re-read it.
1985-1987 novel blue cover and don’t have author or title only read last 5 pages and male character in a rage strangles a female character who doesn’t resist as she turns cyanotic and onlookers cannot rescue her. He ends up in mental institution. Could involve Hollywood/Broadway 1920s-30s . Reverse engineering plot victim may have saved another couple from the villain she schemed with and knew that she might would probably be killed for betrayal but for redemption and and justice she sets it up in public with witnesses to assure he receives appropriate comeuppance.
Just read your post and would like to thank you for maintaining such a cool blog.
The plot has the woman acting as an assistant to the assassin but she is the assassin herself. In one of the assignments, she uses balloons filled with some combustible gases I think for some birthday party and the detectives roll out the roof to save the target and a bunch of others. Darn!!! I don’t remember the thriller’s name … It could be Agatha Christie, Clive Cussler, Ludlum, Wilbur Smith, … I don’t know…. Any help folks?

There were three books to the series, the first has a blue cover with her face on it, the second has an orange cover with her face and a boys face on it, and the third has a purple cover. I think her name might have been Jodi if I am remembering correctly.
I am looking for a beautiful hardbound Christmas book that my uncle bought for me sometime between 1965 and 1970. It had stories, poems & recipes with old fashioned Christmas pictures.

I want to reread a book that I read a long time ago. A man comes home early from a business trip and brings home take out food that has been cooked in peanut oil. His son has a little friend spending the night. The man gives the little boy a drink of water in a glass that has a trace of oil from his fingers. The boy dies of a peanut allergy.
read many years ago, book was fantasy/sci fi style and has something to do with travel thru time or maybe dimensions i can remember a deck of cards was very important but not why and something to do with doors…. I remember something about the character near beginning being attack by some kind of animal like hell hound or tiger or something similarish. I have been trying to remember this title for YEARS. read in the mid to late 90’s……
This is a childrens book. Large title I remember. There is a sketch like picture of a tall, thin, hunched over tree like creature. I want to say like a folklore thing?
Can you please say what the book is about? Someone may remember the name but not what the book looks like. There is also the possibility that there are different looking covers for the same book
I do not know anything about what the content of the book is… the picture on the front is what I remember. It is a long story… but need to show someone the picture for a reference to a true haunting of a family in Central NY.
I’m looking for a book my sister told me she’d read a long time ago I think it’ll be a nice Christmas present for her if I find it. All she was able to remember about the story is that it centers around 2 sisters whose parents are on the older side and emotionally distant and one day they get nanny but it turns out to be the spirit of their dead oldest sister that they did not know. In the end it brings the whole family closer.
Looking for a book I used to read my daughter, in the mid 90’s. It was shaped like a heart and was pink. I still remember the words, it started
“on Valentines Day I gave Sally a card, she gave me some chocolates some mushy some hard. I ate all chocolates, they tasted so fine. I gave none to Sally. Why should I their mine” I can actually dictate the whole book……….really want to get this book for my grandaughter. thank you!!!
I remember reading this book and it was about an Indian boy who got blamed for stealing laptops in his school and he got sent to a military school and then he got bullied and then he goes into a time freeze and then he finds other people of his military school and he saw velociraptors and then him and his friends get a drone that you can ask questions.
The story is from the point of view of a white boy during the civil war era. He runs into a black woman that used to live in his town and her young mixed son. The woman dies in childbirth and makes him promise to deliver her son to his white relatives. I remember the boys got split up for a bit because the white boy gets hit in the head with a gun during a riot and is laid up in bed for two weeks. The white relatives end up not taking the mixed boy and I think he ends up living with a group of runaway slaves at the end. I read the book in either middle school or high school.
I am trying to remember a book I read as a teen so my teenager can read it too. It’s about a teenage girl returning back to her hometown where her mother mysteriously drowned in the lake. It’s a mystery thriller, she has a necklace that begins to tighten and choke her, there’s a rope that ties in a knot and at the end of the book she get hit in the head and falls in the lake. It’s almost like a Nancy drew book
The book i’m looking for is called Treatment or the Treatment about a family who are being poisoned by someone living in their attic, pretty sure it was published before 2007.
While she was only a chapter i’m his book, he was her title.
What does this mean
Unrequited love.
Thank you:)
I remember reading this one book. So basically this girl ends up in the woods, and finds a stream of water under a pile of rocks. Before she drinks this guy stops her. Im pretty sure he has two brothers or something like that. They explain to her that your immortal after you drink from there, its a curse and stuff. You cant die no matter what. ANd they proceed to walk her out of the woods where he house it or smth. I know she ends up meeting with them again and falls in love with one of them. He gives her a tiny bottle with the water and says its her choice to become immortal to stay with him. He then goes away cause of a crime or smth. He comes back years later to see if she did it and realized she died in a house fire with her mother. And i know theres something crime involved cause they said hey can never be caught and if they were and got hung, they cant due and they would be found out

Maybe published in 80’s to 90’s. Nonfiction. Daily readings for self-care and well-being for women. Unique in size and color: hardbound, pink with front cover title printed as a white “label. Size was tall and narrow, about 1” thick. I bought the book at Borders or Barnes and Noble.
I think later a title came out for men.
My Body, My Self
My Body, My Self for Boys
Could it be Simple Abundance: A Daybook of Comfort of Joy by Sarah Ban Breathnach? The cover is exactly as you describe. Awesome book, by the way.
Yes! That’s the book. I felt this author wrote something I need right now in my life. Thank you very much.
I’m looking for a book about a teenage girl hooking up with a boy at a party, but then realizing he had a part in her sister’s murder.

What is the name of the book?

Looking for a book I read about 8 years ago. I don’t remember much about it but here it is:
A boy was thrown into water off a cliff of some sort by I believe his brother, to die. It then turns out he has some power, and he is able to separate the oxygen molecules from the hydrogen molecules in the H2O and he survives. I believe he ends up realizing he has telekinesis. That’s all I remember but I’m almost positive the title had something to do with the word freak.
Looking for a book I read at 12. Dark cover with things like wands around the perimeter. (Same type of style as the hazel wood) about a girl who gets kicked out of Catholic Church and has to work with her mom at a mansion. There are Roumers that the wife who owns the house is crazy. She’s always locked in her room and complains about the food being salty, however a lot of special sugar is always added to her food.
Long story short, It turns out that the husband was on purpose giving his wife this “sugar” which turned out to be something very salty and if taken in high doses (which the wife was) can make the person very dependent on it and kind of kookoo. The young girl found ways to communicate with the wife by hiding in the dumbwaiter, she ended up helping the wife escape and they confronted the husband, who they blackmailed to leave this state and go under a different name.
The wife was the technical owner of the house, as it used to be her fathers. I think the husband wanted to own it but I’m not sure. There was some stuff about pomegranates involved greatly but I can’t remember why. (Searching my brain rn for any other facts) the girl used to help the cook make the food and give it to the wife but she forgot the “sugar” once, which made the wife that was dependent on it go on a rampage, after that she wasn’t allowed in there and had to
Clean instead. She wife used to be very popular, I think she was either a model or actress. The young girls mother was in love with the husband. There was a servant dude who was Italian or French. I think he was some infamous person who was either an assassin, or hes bombed some places. But he went under a fake name and that’s how he got the job.
Did you find the name of the book? It sounds good.
unfortunately no, haha im actually hoping that someone responds with the name, since for some reason I can’t remember for the life of me.
Im trying to find this book i read when i was around nine, it was a novel. Light blue cover with either black or right writing, but im pretty sure it was black. It was known, back then, this was around 2015-16. I only remember it being very deep talking about life, it had an almost dazey feeling to it, but that might just be because of my dazed memory.
I read this book when I was around 12 and I haven’t been able to find it since. it was a little paperback novel. couldn’t have been no more than three to four hundred pages the cover I remember was black with metallic dark blue writing. The beginning of the novel was about a child who had recently moved to a new place with his parents they were building a home and as they were digging the ground for the basement I do believe these little creatures would come out at night time and the creatures killed his mother. I lost the book before I could read past the third chapter so I don’t know any more about it hopefully somebody has read it and could point me in the right direction.
I’m trying to find a book from my childhood but I think it might have been a graphic novel. It was a series about a kid who went on adventures with his friends named after animals for example Monkey and Rhino. They also had a friend or rival who was a girl that did ballet and a specific memory of the book was when They said she took nibbles of her toast so she can still be skinny. I remember from one of the covers was them carrying a rolled up carpet onto the train. Another memory was when the main character was trying to do something nice for the mom and tried to soak her feet with hot water but ended up burning her.

So my husband has been talking about a book from his childhood but he cant remember the title or author!.
Its about a city full of wizards who get kickced out of the city if they have no magic, the main character gets kicked out as it apears that he has no magic but it turns out that jis magic is based on luck, for example if he where getting chased by a giant he would fall over just in the right place that he did not get trampled on.
My husband cant seem to tell me more than that, just its a book about wizards who get kicked out of the city if they have no magic.
I know its a long shot but thanks in advanced anyway!
So the story is about this girl who as I recall was popular I believe and she gets pregnant. A guy and this girl meet and this guy has trauma over believing he killed his bestfriend when they got into a fight on the sidewalk and the friend fell into the road and got hit by a car. Since the girls baby daddy isn’t in the picture anymore since her family would be dissapointed by who the father is this guy offers to be the father as in the girl tells her family he is the father. Throughout the story this boys mom or sad knows that he isn’t the father. The cover as I recall was a red cover with an illustration of the silhouette of a boy and girl sitting on a bench with a stork in the air.
Im trying to find an audio book about a boy whos father was a detective who had died and left him his car and taught him that if someone who wore glasses was found dead from an apparent suicide but the they still had their glasses on were murdered. He worked for a bakery and met a girl who was richer than he was. They eventually broke apart even though she still said she wanted to be with him. Around the that time he recently met a rich guy who he accidently had a minor crash with. the rich guy eventually became his friend and he wanted him to go to school in his sons place and when in school he made it into a major club on the campus called the sevens club.
Okay so I’ve searched for this book for the longest and can’t find it so I see this so why not since everyone is finding their books lol

Hello everyone,
I found this place after trying desperately to figure out if there’s a book, movie or television series about the below.
After waking up this morning I was stuck with an image and what seemed like the tail-end of a mystery/horror-like story in my head and by gum, I swear I have read or seen something about something similar before somewhere.
Okay, here is the story:
“” A group of young girls and guys are somewhere near a lake at a boathouse of sorts. maybe a get-together, drinks whatever.
The guys fool around and want to get the girls to, y’know, but the main girl of the story doesn’t want to, which somehow aggrivates one of the guys.
here the story turns dark.
The girl gets chained to a wooden raft or float, or something and the guys take it out into the water with the intend of scaring her into submission of sorts. however then some weird accident happens (collision with something) and the guy gets killed, leaving the chained up girl on the raft which slowly starts to sink.
The end was a close-up of her face with a expression like “finally this nightmare ends” without screaming she slowly drowns… fade to black. “”
The ending image is what got stuck in my mind, the closeup of the girl in what I remember as white/beige rags, chained to a wooden frame behind her, eclipsed within black. For some inexplicable reason I swear this could be the cover of a book or movie.
Does anyone know if there’s such thing? or is my imagination going rampant on me?
I was wondering if anyone could help me with this book I’m trying to remember. So in the story, this girl dies and this other girl (who is seemingly unrelated to the first girl) receives an email from the dead girl (even though, hello, she’s dead). The other girl then has to solve who killed the dead girl and why she’s the only one capable of finding the answer. It’s a young adult mystery and if you’ve read it, I would be grateful. Thanks!
I have been looking for this book for so long that I feel like I am making it up or it was a dream. I read it some time back in middle school I think. It was about a girl who attends a ball as a lady-in-waiting I think, but the whole plot is that all the girls invited are going to be turned into flowers in the garden by a set of evil hosts. This girl in particular gets turned into a dandelion because she “is as useless and boring as a weed” or something like that. I can’t remember if she saves herself or if her love interest does. All I remember about him is that he can turn into a raven and isn’t disappointed that she is a dandelion, as dandelions are beautiful too. Since I can’t find it through google cause of the Raven Cycle books, it feels like a fever dream from ages ago.
You unlocked a memory I forgot I had! I read that book back in elementary school, and had completely forgotten about it. I thought that I had made it up until I saw your post. I have no clue what the name of the book is, but I hope you find it!
Hello everyone. 🙂
Though i would give this a try after searching for over a week for this ebook i had last year and deleted for some reason. Thing is… i cannot remember the name or author…. ugh! If anyone has any ideas of title or author…. please let me know…
Firstly, well… it was adult in nature. I remember it was about this orphan girl who had been saved and trained by some organization to hunt fairies? Or elves… i think it’s fairies. In this book they put spells on people and drink there blood. I remember her mother was seduced by them and they (insert adult stuff here) until she lost her mind. For whatever reason… she hunts them.
I remember in the first part of the book she finds one in a museam. And it tries to seduce/ kill her. She has an amulet or something so she can see through their spells. And then later she somehow accidently bonds herself to one of the kings. But that’s about it…
I believe the cover was all one color…. green…. or red? Don’t remember much unfortunately…. If this rings a bell for anyone, please let me know.
Thanks 🙂
Am not sure but i think it’s The Fae Chronicles
Book 1:Fighting destiny
I’m looking for a book about two people (a woman and man) who are decaying together underground after dying. I think it’s written in a journal form, with different memories and recollections of the two people at different stages of disintegration.
I once listened to an audiobook, the main character comes across a dog that can communicate with him. Talk to him. I thought it was by Dean Kontz but after searching, I am probably wrong. I think it had a single-word title. I am pretty sure the box it came in was blue and black.
This sounds like it could be “Watchers” by Dean Koontz? How did the dog communicate and was his name Einstein?
I am desperately looking for a book I read maybe 10 yrs ago. It was a Christian/Catholic fiction. About a man that wakes up in a dark cave, violent thunderstorm raging outside, horrible flying creatures.

There is a huge canyon that can only be crossed on a huge tree that this woodsman fells across it, to reach this beautiful city on the hill. I love this book but can`t remember the title, author…poss published early/mid seventies???? Anyone recognize it? Please.

I’m trying to find a children’s book I read when I was about 6/7 years old, back in the early 2000’a. It was about a girl who went inside the mall during Christmas and she saw this store owner wrapping gifts so beautiful but after wrapping so many she ran out of wrapping paper so the girl had the brilliant idea of using recyclable newspaper to wrap presents and still make them beautiful. Owner went with it and everyone had nice wrapped presents.
I read a book maybe 15 years ago. The main character is a teenage girl who lives with her father. She wants to become an actress like her mother who died when she was a child. The story revolves around her teenage years and I vaguely remember that she used to love to go swimming to a public pool but her classmates making fun of her and also that she is poor. I remember that she works after school at a beauty salon and something about saving money for a photo-shoot that can help her in becoming an actress. Somehow she loses the money but ends up getting a free photo-shoot at the salon. She is described a having “swimmer’s arms” and that a halter dress looks good on her. There also might have been something about her resembling a famous Hollywood actress in her looks. She later on runs away to Hollywood where she ends up finding more about her mother and discovers some kind of connection with the famous actress she looks like. She ends up returning home and getting married to her love. This was set in older times, maybe sixties or seventies.
I am trying to remember the name of a book that I read in a college course, specifically English 1102. This is what I can remember of the plot: A jazz/some sort of musician who was famous passed away, and upon his death his wife goes away to their vacation home for some peace and quiet along with some letters that he left for her. She wanted to be able to mourn his death away from the press, as he was a famous musician. The police found out from the autopsy of the husband’s body that he was transgender and had been binding his breasts. The son of this couple finds out about this and becomes upset that he did not know his father “was a girl” and distances himself from his mother. The transgender musician in this book was based on a real person, but the character went by a different name. If you have any idea what this book is please help me out, thank you!

I forgot title of this book that I read the first few pages of. It starts of with this man living by himself in London when, a hitman/murderer enters his home dressed in all black to try and kill him. The murderer apprehends him and while he is left unconscious the killer begins to tie a rope to a wooden beam across the ceiling. Much to the guys luck as the killer makes his strangulation seem like a suicide, the beam breaks and he’s able to get some air and he leaps out his large window and starts running. The killer follows him but the guy manages to catch a bus in time where he then falls unconscious and ends up in a hospital where he pretends to have amnesia as he doesn’t trust anyone. He says the only thing he remembers of the killer are his eyes. That’s as far as I can remember, I’ve tried to search it with the few key points but no luck. Hopefully someone here might know what it’s called. Thank you in advance and I’ll keep looking on my end too.

I am looking for a book that would probably be considered a teens book. It is about a boy that loses his father. His father is in the military and goes missing. I’m pretty sure the father is found in a cave under rocks or something like that. He is missing for days and the media is covering the story but the boy doesn’t know it. His mom has been acting strange and his aunt comes to stay with them but he doesn’t know why. The boy has his electronics taken away from him and is grounded but decides one day after school to turn on the television while his mom isn’t home. He sees the news about his dad and how they are announcing how he has been found. His mom walks in and it’s confirmed that it’s his father. I remember that he was really interested in planes and particularly helicopters. Him and his dad put models together I think. I think the cover looks like you’re looking out a window on part of it. There may be a helicopter on the other part. I wanna say the cover was like a blue green but I don’t know for sure. I would so appreciate it if anyone could point me in the right direction!

I am looking for two books. The first one I can only remember how the cover looks. It’s a dark cover (maybe black) and on the cover there is a very detailed mirror with faces/skulls or vines looped around it and coming out the mirror is a hand and maybe a witch (I’m not sure) but for sure a hand is somewhere in the cover. It’s a middle grade scary book I believe. I read it around 2012 or 2013. The other book is most likely also by the same author (not positive though) and it’s about this family that goes to visit this farm type of place where people ride on these carriages that takes them around the farm and the parents are offered this cider and once they drink it they go on the ride and something happens to where the parents can’t leave the place or they are frozen in place and the only people that can help the parents are these kids so they escape the farm type place and go around the town that it’s in and try to break the curse that is happening to a bunch of more people and I think there is an evil witch or something of that sort involved and is trying to catch those kids. Plz help.

This book was published in the late 90’s. I keep thinking it was called Red7 or 7Red, an autobiography of a very troubled man who was mentally and sexually abused as a child growing up in Florida. I can remember a picture of him sitting on his grandfather’s lap either on the cover or inside flap. This picture looks like a newspaper article with yellow/ red tone to it. I believe he mentions a girlfriend named Susan and her parents also.

3 books published in 1980’s about a prudish magic wizard who inherits father’s immoral wizard realm
Hello ! I read a book a good few years back and it was about a family who fled to Libya from Italy during the fascist regime and the story followed their life in Libya, in particular the son in the family. It was about how they lived along side the Arabs and there was romances and violence in it. The start of the book began with a young Arab girl walking along a path from her employers house to her own home which was a shack and she never arrived and her body was found having been raped and murdered. In the end the family had to return to Italy when Libya gained independence around 1943. The story was fiction but based on the facts that was going on in Italy/Libya at the time. I think it was written by and Italian author and translated into English and there may have been two books – very vague I know but if it rings a bell with anyone I would love to read it again, it was a wonderful book !

I’m looking for a novel about a woman who keeps shifting between two different realities every time she wakes up. In one, she is married and has a family. In the other, she almost met her husband but never did, and did not have a family with him. The fantasy of a life without her family is a way of coping with a disaster that she can’t face, an accident in which she loses loved ones (maybe her parents). I think the novel was popular, and it’s not that old. Maybe published after 2000. Aspects of the first-person style, the gradual revelation of what exactly the mystery is, are similar to Before I Go to Sleep by S J Watson, a novel I found while hunting for the one I can’t find. But although the husband is a focus in each, the actual story is very different.
Is it “in five years” by:Rebecca Serle?
That’s not it. Thanks for the suggestion. There is no premonition about the future or shifting in time (to five years in the future, according to descriptions of the book In Five Years). In the novel I’m thinking of, the woman is shifting between two present-day versions of her life: one in which she married her husband years ago, and one in which they never married. The life without her husband and children turns out to be a fantasy that protects her from knowledge of a terrible tragedy.
Children’s fiction book. I think I read it in grade 4, 5, or 6 in the late 1980s.
I think they may have been on a class field trip. The main character of the story was a boy who started a number of businesses. The first was small, and made just enough money to start the second, which made just enough to start the third, and so on, with each business being bigger than the previous one.
One of the ventures, the boy rented a cow from a farmer, then sold city folks one minute to milk the cow. The people who paid to milk the cow worked really hard for 1 minute, then were disappointed at the end to see how little milk the got, and so bought another minute of milking time. The farmer joked with the boy that these city folks didn’t know that they’ll never get much milk in just one minute.
At the end, I think the boy entrepreneur got caught by his teacher (I think they were on a field trip) and had his profits confiscated. Once he could get away again, he started back with his first business again. And that was the end.
If you know what book this is I would really appreciate it – I’d love to have my kids read it now.
The book is about a boy who is a secret agent, spy or something like that. The cover was orange I think.
The first paragraphs are a summary of what his job is. I believe it starts with a short story of the main character getting close to a boy who he played baseball with, and he kills the boys parent.
The plot is in summary, he has to go to a private school ( I think ) and get close to this specific girl because he believes her father is evil. He slowly falls in love with her.
Turns out he finds the father is innocent during a party and the girl is evil.
This is a series book I believe. I think the second book takes place at a military base or something.
Thanks in advance
I can’t remember the title and just a brief sumarize of the synopsis…. I tried google but without any results
It was about that if you read it you might die after finishing it (like, for real) the cover was kinda beige like some sort of old book and there were no words or title (as far as I remember) beside that brief synopsis…. can someone help? I tried to buy it at that time but I couldn’t and when I got back to the library it was already sold…
I’ve been looking for this book for a while now, I read it when I was younger. I forgot which dynasty it was in, but I know it was ancient China. I believe the woman was a princess or some type of royalty, but I am not too sure. There was a festival, where she met a man and wanted to marry him. She ended up dying, and her tomb was left unmarked, so she was forced to roam purgatory. When in purgatory, she found out her sister ended up with the man. I remember scenes when they made “cloud and rain,” and younger children had to bear the pain of foot binding. I never finished reading the book, and now I am looking for it all the time. If you know which book I am talking about or think you know it, please let me know.
Woman marries her sisters fiancé at sisters request only to find she was set up so family could get her 4 shares of their compant

I’m looking for a book, I read it a few years ago but I can’t remember the title ♀️
It’s about a family. A man and a wife who have children. 3 girls and 1 boy. The boy though is a nephew of the man so the family sort of adopts him. The woman is a horrible mother and she mistreats her children. Beats them up and gives them all types of odd works to do around the home. She also hates her husband and doesn’t really accord him the respect he deserves as the man of the house . At some point the young boy dies (I think his name is Shay, I’m not quite sure though). To cut the story short at the end the lady gets arrested together with the husband coz in a way he helped her in some of her sick plots.
Can anyone identify the book please and tell me the title.
Kindly.
The story starts off with ” My father sold me…”
Was he sold to a vampire?
Sounds like you can find it on wattpad

I’m looking for a book about a kid who died in his sleep or at least they think he died in his sleep. I think it was from natural causes or from diseases or may have committed suicide but a guy felt guilty because he had been mean to him. There is a girl that the kid liked but she did not like him back. He once baked a cake or something for her and her mother received it. After he died she was watching a crime show or something and heard the words: You have the right to remain silent. You have the right to remain silent. It switched perspectives between the characters. Before he died he was not been popular but everyone new him after he died. She stopped speaking after that for a long time. The book I had a black cover a paper airplane and a red apple. I might have been called Flyed but I have not been able to find it.
Never mind i found it it’s called flying solo by Ralph Fletcher
I’m gonna check this out omg
I’m looking for a book where I only know the plot and the book cover but I can’t remember the exact title of the book. It was night and a girl was stitching something and her younger brother went into the room to watch her stitch. Soon after that, they began to feel cold because the window was open so she stood up to close it and they heard a thunder strike. She told her brother not to panic and ordered him to go get a flashlight. When the lights came back, his sister screamed because she found that the cat she had been stitching was gone. The two of them asked each other if they were dreaming or not. Long story short, they found that a black cat with three yellow stripes on it’s left side was sitting on the window. The cover at the end of the book was of a black cat escaping a picture frame because the girl managed to stitch back the cat.
There was also a scene I remember where a woman had to dress up as a cat but as soon as a cat entered the room, she began sneezing because she was allergic and her line was, “Wid Sumbudy get me a tishoo?”
I remember a chapter in the book being called, “The chase in the carnival.”
There was also a dog involved, a Doberman whose name was Luthor.
The genre would be Mystery/Adventure. I can’t remember the title of the book though as it’s been so long since I’ve read it.
The two siblings have been chasing the cat around for the entire book

I read a historical romance book in the late 90s or early 2000, about a set of male twins, who love visiting brothels. They were distinguished gentlemen with titles. It was based in London in the 1800s. The twins were very eligible bachelors who had women fawning over them constantly. I believe one of their names was “Harm”. If I am remembering correctly, the book had an orange cover and was paperback.

I am looking for a book series, it is a biography of the authors life in 1950’s Ireland, cover is a black and white picture, it stars as the author being a child and very poor, she steals butter to make money for the family, she writes as she speaks ” me Ma and Da” Thanks for any help
Could it possibly be part of the series by Martha Long? The “Ma” series or however you’d call it. It does sound very much like “Me, He sold me for a pack of cigarettes” or one of those books.
It’s written in that sorta way too, example
“The ma makes sure I go everywhere wit Jackser an then tell her if he was lookin at women or talkin te his friends about them, or maybe if he was seein one. I always tell her he was doin nothin. I learnt me lesson good an proper when he nearly threw Charlie over the banisters. So I’m not tellin them anythin tha will start a row. I tell them nothin about anythin, and Jackser beats inta me tha I’m never te tell anyone wha happens at home. So I don’t answer questions people ask me, like, where’d ye get the black eyes, or, wha’s them zig-zag blue marks on yer legs an arms an back? I say nothin.”
Yes that is it! Thank you!
I meant to write “Ma, He sold me for a pack of cigarettes” and not “Me” sorry
I am looking for a book about a 12 year old girl visiting grandparents at a beach and she meets a 15 year old ghost boy with a ghost brother named John?
I don’t remember the title of this book, or the author, and I think the cover was like blue, maybe a beach or a sky? I remember it’s about a tween girl who is visiting her grandparents at a beach area, and she goes out for runs a lot. Then she meets a 15 year old boy who she thinks is kinda cute, and they eventually start going out for runs together. He even tries to guess her name at first, I think. At the end of the book the girl finds out that he’s a ghost who died in some shipwreck (I think), and he has a younger brother named John who is also a ghost. At the very end of the book he kisses her while she’s at a hospital for some reason. I don’t remember the title, but I read this in 2018. I don’t know when this book was published, If you know what it’s called, please help! Thank you. Oh, and also she writes to her mom and dad a lot (they don’t live together, I think?). And the plot might have been that the girl was looking into a ghost memorial, and the boy hung out with her in hopes to find his ghost brother too. If you know this book, please help me! Appreciate it!
This is probably not the book but your description reminds me of a book called TJ’s ghost that I loved as a kid. I don’t remember much other than it took place on the Oregon coast and there was a lost ring involved too.
I’m trying to find a book where the (4 or 5) main characters are sent to an institution on an island that no one else knows about and they get powers. Evil organizations are looking for treasures.
I don’t think that’s a very good description, but here’s more from later on in the books:
At some point, the main characters get lost in ancient Egypt where time moves slowly compared to the real world. They also at some point find themselves in Greece where at some point a statue comes to life.
Sorry if it’s not that great of detail, it has been a long time since I’ve read it.

I’m looking for a book I read in the 80s.
It’s about an English man and his girlfriend who kidnap an Italian mobster’s nephew/son (Named Eddie) with the help of an American ex-Navy Guy/Seal called Dan.

I’m looking for a book I read in the mid 60s. After the death of her husband, a young woman must raise her teen or preteen daughter alone with few of the material resources that were available to her prior to the husband’s death. The three of them have lived in a “big” house in the city, and summered at their much smaller home at the coast. I think the father worked in the city, even during the summer, but would come to the cottage to be with his family on weekends. After the father’s death, the mother sells the house and moves them to the summer house. She takes a job to make ends meet. Maybe in a restaurant. The daughter does not take her new situation well at all. She misses shopping where and when she wants and eating eating where and what she likes. She’s embarrassed that her mother is now a “working mother.” After much frustration on both sides, the mother says to the daughter, “We aren’t summer people anymore.” I’ve remembered “something” about this book for (probably) five decades. Can anyone help me find it? I really want to read it again?
Thank you so much!! This really helped! I used Google’s advanced book search and I found what I was looking for on the first try!
I like the suggestion of going to a library and asking a librarian if they recognize the plot of the book you are looking for.

the book started with a young girl leaving her home town by bus. she met a girl at the bus stop who she ended up traveling with if i recall correctly. she ended up being an exotic dance or just working in the club. i believe at some point she owner/manager of the club tried hitting on her. towards the end of the novel she finds out the guy she fell in love with was a detective or a cop . ugh i wish i could remember more.
book cover was light blue. story was about how very quite little town was being bought up and changed by summer people coming in. A veteran used tactics he learned to sabatage boats & docks . Grandfather hired young girl to teach him computer skills which he ended up throwing in water because he got addicted to porn -when he searched for “gift for a young girl for her birthday”. I have been haunted by story for 10-20 years . Founded in my local library -it looked so innocent -story line was shocking at the time. Would make a great movie or micro series now .

Hi
The book I’m looking for is about a black girl.I think she goes to an American school and she is not liked by her school mates but there is a guy whom she liked and he probably liked her back. And also she writes in a diary, in the diary she writes her name backwards, her name starts from A . I think the cover of the book is gray colour.
Thank you
Searching for a coming-of-age type book I read like 3 years ago, about a girl named Alice, her brother Bruce, and her teacher (probably more characters I can’t recall). She really wanted one teacher (I’m sure her name was Ms. Cole), though ended up getting one she didn’t like (can’t remember the name), but she started to like the teacher later in the story. There was a scene in the book where Alice was at a school costume party, and she accidentally kicked Ms. Cole. She’s given a ring by her teacher at the end of the year as a gift of sorts, after a different kid was given the old globe she wanted from the classroom. Alice mentioned something about saints once, maybe wanting to be a saint (?), but her brother told her you had to be dead before you could be a saint. I think there was a part of the book where she stays with her aunt or uncle or something, and she has her first period. I’m 90% sure the book was part of a series. Thanks
Hi I’m look for an adult book about a girl gets home to find her boyfriend cheating on her and throws up and I think it was the same night or the next night she went out to a club or bar and met a guy there and went back to his place (the guys rich or in the mafia) and they had sex on the piano and while they where doing it he went to her other whole without her knowing. I had stopped reading it because I thought It was to much but now I want to read it so if you can help find it that would be wonderful.

I’m sorry if this isn’t really descriptive but i read it awhile ago and this is all i can remember.
I read a book a dear friend lent me – it was a slim volume novel, by a female author, about a sort of hapless guy in England whose wife (or girlfriend) was really using him, he goes on a walking holiday in Germany very ill prepared and stays at a guesthouse where the wife in the husband/wife couple running it is being unfaithful. The book is probably about 5-8 years old. My friend has since passed away and I wanted to let her grand-niece know the title/author of book. Sorry can’t recall any characters names…..
I am looking for a book my mom used to have. I think it is called Angel. It’s about a little girl who was really ill and dies. Her parents wrote the book and he was a famous actor in westerns I believe.
Angel Unaware. Written by Dale Evans about their daughter (Dale Evans and Roy Rogers) I think she had Down’s Syndrome and died at 2 and Dale wrote this as if she, the daughter was in Heaven telling God about her experiences on earth. I think her name was Robyn but not sure. Very touching book.
I’m looking for the name of the fiction book that has a fox trickster character named Whiskey Jack and the main story is about a house that jumps around into different dimensions and times.
it was a female author, the cover had a bus in the center and there was a sunset behind it. The title had the word right in it. It’s about a teenage girl who’s family is living on a bus along with another family that travels with them in another vehicle maybe also a bus. They traveled around the us. The other families son is her love interest. She somehow got a “job” as an assistant for a famous artist and got into a college. she’s fresh out of high school, she was home schooled. It was published around 5 years ago or less. Audience is aimed towards teens.
I watch this story’s trailer in Instagram . The main hero’s teacher passed away and he have to take care of his life family.
Can’t remember the name of a spiritual fiction book from the 1970’s or early 80’s. It’s about a guy who’s car rolls down a cliff. He comes across a village of people that when they talk, he can see jewels in some of the people’s mouths. The people spend a portion of each morning listening to each other’s dreams. At the end, it turns out he imagined all of this and he is somehow on trial for killing someone, maybe in the car crash. These are bad details but it is all I remember. Thank you for any help!

Short story collection – I thought that this was from Frederick Forsyth and checked – it is not. There is this mother, whose child attends a school. The father’s details I cannot recall – I think she is a single mother. A working mother who goes off site for long periods frequently. She is excluded by the school mum cliques. Her child might have been bullied. In the climax, we find that she is some kind of spy/secret agent/assassin of sorts – she lets herself into the house of the school mother who has been troubling her and arranges the death of the mistress of husband or someone and leaves evidence to pin the blame on the woman. I think she wedged a window open and slipped in later at night. And got some undergarments belonging to one woman and placed it in the other woman’s house.

Book set during World War 2 in Poland, with a young boy, presumably orphaned, named Jan. The story involves his travels in search of a sibling (I believe) and the people he encounters along the way.

I read this book several times in grade school (2nd half of the 60’s) and would dearly love to read it again, if it can be found. Can anyone help? Thank you.

I’m looking for a book that I got for Christmas as a youngster in 1985… it was a paperback, green cover, and it offered a wide range of computer-simulated match-ups between all-time greats in baseball, football, boxing, etc…. I have fond memories of leafing through it and I have no idea where it got to… the title was too generic to remember, but it must have had something to do with the specific computer model used to process the data culled from 20th century sporting history… anyone have any idea what this was called?
This was a short story, I thought by Faulkner, obviously mistaken, about a quiet man that never bothers anyone. He is strong and has hands of redwood. He only has his plot of land in his life and it is everything to him. When he realizes he will lose his land, he hangs himself from a tree. Amazing detailed description in this story from the 1920’s or 1940’s possibly. Can anyone help?

There was a big book for children where the kids got a parrot. The children tried to teach the parrot how to say traditional phrases and practiced relentlessly to no avail. However the mother’s favorite phase to mishaps in the house was, “My goodness, gracious me.” One day the dog got tangled up in a table cloth and caused total chaos in the house. The kids chased the dog to end the situation. The parrot taking in the scene from his cage said his first words, which were “My goodness, gracious, me!”
Okay, so this book is somewhat a mystery with the leading man named Wolfe (something like that). The main character, the name I’ve forgotten, thinks of herself similar to and worships Martha Stewart. Takes place in a small town, I’m pretty sure. I think it’s been around ten years since it’s been published.
Ok so I haven’t read this book since the 90’s. Of course it had no cover (it was a hardcover and the cover flap was missing). I think I found the book at the park or on the train.
So the story is about a middle aged woman with breast cancer and she decides to not get treatment for it. She describes the fluids oozing from her breasts and other symptoms she’s dealing with as the result of not getting treatment. Then she does and the book takes you on her experience with the afterlife. Can’t remember anything else, but I sure would like to find the book again.
There is a book that I don’t remember where

The book I’m looking for was originally published by Penguin, it was about a guy that reported on his neighbours and colleagues and sent these reports into the govt. by post. One day he gets called in to see the govt. he thinks it’s for a reward or a commendation but it’s actually because they’ve seen something in his reports that they don’t like. The book reminded me of Orwell’s 1984, it definitely has a similar theme but I can’t for the life of me think of the title or the author, great book though!
Mine’s about a kid living in the city. All I remember is 1. He makes a friend who gets married. 2. He helps an old lady (his neighbor) raise some cats and his favorite orange one gets stepped on and dies.

Was the story similar to this
a girl sees on the news that a person has escaped from a mental hospital. Later on when her parents are away she throws a party and he shows up but disappears. As the story goes on he ends up hiding in her attic and as it turns out he is a vampire. I’m not sure if they start dating or what but i remember there was a semi steamy scene where he pushed her up against a wall and was kissing her. I remember for sure it describes the different temperatures of his kisses and he tries to bite her and hurts her and i don’t remember the rest. And then something with a street lamp either way i remember specifically a window at the end of the hallway was important, he lived in her attic, and he kissed her.
Thank you for your efforts but sad to say “its not the one”

Hi! The book I’m looking for has a single mom with a son and daughter. I don’t remember much but I remember that the son manages to find a kind of “too good to be true” place for them to live for free, and he gets a job as a restaurant so he can bring home food for them to eat every night so the mom can quit her job and focus on school work. The ending has a twist (spoiler alert!) where the son thought he found the mom’s long lost parents and chose to stay in their house while they were on vacation without them knowing, but it turns out they aren’t her parents, just people with the same names who live in a smokier area.
I’m looking for a children’s book a woman called labbanice or laddanice .. that may be the title as well but I can’t find it online.

I think it’s Labyrinth.
Nope it’s not that… it’s a picture book that has probably about 15 pages or less

book about an american son seeking information about his french mother that fell in love with his dad in the french resistance
Not sure if this is the one you are referring to, as the details are a little different, but perhaps it is the book known as ‘I Am David’ or ‘North To Freedom’. I do not remember the name of the author
not remotely helpful. I only remember what story to book. I can describe story only.
I am looking for A book I read two or three years ago. It is historical fiction and takes place just as America was beginning to have some social services. A young social worker gets her first job somewhere in the southern states where she visits poor families. Eventually she discovers some of these women were given hysterectomies without their knowledge under the umbrella of helping them with Health issues. The young social worker puts her job on the line to help one of these poor young women who wanted to have a baby. This is based on fact as there was documentation and footnotes in the back of the book when women were actually brought to Washington to testify in congressional hearings.
Hi, I’m looking for a hardback book which is a collection of short horror stories. The cover is dark blue with an old stone building (kind of like a church) on the front with yellow light coming from the windows (I got it from my primary school so it should supposedly be for children though I’m not sure). I vaguely remember a few of the stories; one where a girl growing up is terrified of a cat which has green/yellow eyes. One day, after she has grown older this cat attacks her, then she marries a man who looks vaguely similar to the cat with the same eyes, the cat isn’t seen again. Eventually the man disappears and she has a baby daughter but this daughter shockingly goes missing, the woman claims she drowned her in the river because she was convinced that it was a kitten but no baby is found, only the corpse of a small kitten. Another story is written through journal entries where a vampire curse is awoken which starts attacking farm animals and terrifying the residents of a small and remote village. Eventually the ‘root’ of this evil is a vampire woman with long black hair who is eventually killed/put back to sleep. The last story I can kind of remember is written in 2nd person where it is described that you are entering a house at night and I’m pretty sure a ghostly figure is mentioned at some point as well. Any help would be appreciated, thanks.
Am looking for a book the hero is a film star and he married a tomboy that saved him
hi! so i read this book a while ago, and i dont remember many details, but i do recall that their was a character named sheridan. the main character’s dad recently made or became the founder of something, and she went to this school that she used to go to, and she made a plan to disband these girls who were exclusive like the “popular” kids, but failed, and when sheridan did that, she actually stuck with them. i remember sheridan and another person, i think her name was shannon, made this club called the s ___ (i forgot what the last word was). the main character called them out because they were calling her and her new friends (the popular girls) exclusive and selfish, but the main character said by making the S ___, they were only naming it after themselves, calling it selfish, but they countered that by saying the S wasn’t for their names, but stood for special.

Hi, can I please get some help identifying this romance book read in the early 2000s. The female protagonist is the Boss of her own company and her assistant/secretary is a handsome man with purple/amethyst eyes. They’ve worked together for a long time and the protagonist is a workaholic of sorts. She travels to a mountain chalet to close a big company deal with her assistant, who is secretly the CEO of that company and has been in love with her for a long time, thus ending up as her assistant. Nora Roberts and Judith Mcnaught unfortunately aren’t the authors and I’ve run out of leads. Any help would be much appreciated.
A boy lives by his stepfather who told him that his mother died and one day found a notebook with pictures of dead people in them. It is a series. He finds his mother under the basement behind a curtain and there was an elevator, she is very weak. They live in a funeral home where they dress and bury bodies. The kid’s name MIGHT be Nick or Alejandro. His stepfather got arrested.

An elementary poem in the 60’s that tells that if you read you will never be alone because books can take you on adventures like “going around the world in a spaceship or go hunting tigers brave and bold”.
I can’t remember the author of this book – I think it is Dean Koontz but I’m not sure. It is about a young girl that moved from a small country town to the city to further her career. Sometime later she decided to return to visit her parents and recall her past life. She drove towards her home town and on her way stopped at a small roadhouse on the outskirts. She was hungry so she quickly made her way to the counter and ordered her food. She had an eerie feeling about the place and when she looked around she noticed that other clients sitting at their tables where not communicating and were very ill mannered and messy. She paid for her lunch and quickly raced back to her car. She ate in the car then proceeded to her parents home. On her arrival she was not greeted, which was very strange, so she had to knock on the front door. When she entered she had that strange eerie feeling again. Her parents were uncommunicative and cold. She couldn’t understand why! She decided to go up to her old room and have a short rest. When she awoke, nothing had changed. She went for a walk around the town but quickly returned home as everything had changed and she didn’t feel safe. Her parents were in bed so she too had an early night. Next morning that eerie feeling was back again. She decided to visit an old friend of the family’s to find out if he could help her understand the changes. She felt safe at his house and they sat down and talked about the problem. He told her that most of the people in town had been attacked by an unknown virus. This virus changed them completely, making them sloven, vicious, and cold hearted. Once infected they were then forced to pass this infliction on to all others they met. The story goes on about the frightening experiences this young girl has, making her run from home to be with the elderly family friend where she felt safe. They both decided it was too dangerous to stay in town so they immediately jumped into his car and took off. When they were about 10klm from town there was a huge explosion. The whole town was obliterated, every building demolished and every living thing terminated. They went on to another town and started a new life together.
If you can help me find this book I would be thoroughly surprised and most greatfull.
I read a book, can’t remember the author tho, but there was a girl named Lydia Grey that was married off by her father to an old man who had children older than she was. He used to maltreat her and he finally died along side her father in an accident leaving a will that made Lydia the sole owner of all his properties. The children didn’t like it, so she ran away to her aunt’s place, unknown to her she was pregnant with her late husband’s child, where she met a guy that owned a saw mill and married him. One of the children of her late husband kidnapped her child and gave it to his sister to take care
I had this book, it was my favorite book EVER! I think it was by Ingrid Law but i searched up all her books and cant seem to find it. Its about a girl at the begining of the story her house with her family gets destroyed by a hurricane/tornado. I never got to finish the book because i had to return it but it was so good! She and her family had to be headed to a homeless shelter and im pretty sure before that they also had an under ground bunker! If anyone know what im talking about please let me know! 🙂
the book i am looking for is a futuristic dystopian world in which demons have taken over the world. So basically demons possess humans and fool real humans into thinking that they are humans as well. the protagonist is a girl and she is an exorcist . I don’t recall her name, but from what I can remember she travels with her boyfriend and her sister and a few other people. her sister is pregnant. In the book, the people are being protected from the demons by the church but since it is a sin to get pregnant when underage, they kicked out the protagonist’s pregnant sister. there’s also a well ,in the book, in which there are souls and for a baby to be born there must be a soul in the well for it or else the baby will die within a few hours. But there isn’t any souls in the well so yh.
The book I’m looking for is something about an island. A young boy who goes on vacation finds a secret key that goes to a library and anything the boy reads ends up on an island across from his house that he was staying in. The cover looked like green and blue with an island on it.
I can’t remember much, but this book is about a girl who I believe is in high school. She has a pretty good life. And then her family has to move after her dad loses his job? I think they go to her moms home town and she meets this boy. I think he would help the family out while they were un packing. They start to have feelings for one another. They date secretly and he ends up being bad for her. That’s all I can remember

Hey, I really hope someone can help me find this book that I read in isolation once. Its about a guy who sees his mate selling drugs behind a nightclub and the ending is him fighting his friend because of a girl. Sorry for such little info, because I read this book in school.
Hello,
I hope someone can help me find this book. I am looking for a book about a caregiver that met developmental needs of the children she cared for in a single day. She cooked with them, danced with them rode bikes, did gardening and took them to the beach I believe. It was called “Miss-something” or “Aunt” I have no idea. I would really love to add this book to my library. My teacher read it to us during our CDA course. I would really love to know the name of this book. Thanks in advance for anyone able to put the pieces together to help me find this book.
A book about a girl who lives in a world where all superstitions are true. There are families that are lucky and some that aren’t, hers isn’t. She has a brother. She goes to like middle school or high school, but i think middle school. I remember a scene where she and her bro were walking to school and had to jump around cracks so their mother wouldnt get hurt. another where two girls said something at the same time, another came up behind and jinxed them, they were literally mute. another in a graveyard, she tried to avoid it but couldn’t. There were exams to determine whether you were lucky and she gave everyone 4 leaf clovers from some guy and they all passed. I also remember she found a black cat named Jinx who was actually super lucky. There were 2 different high schools, one for lucky people and one for the unlucky, and a bad part of town where unlucky people went when they graduated. That’s where she found the cat. They also had a friday 13th where the mom hung crows everywhere? Don’t know if I’m being too cryptic but if anyone knows what I’m talking about pls help. Thank you! 🙂
Trying to find two novels I read years ago and Google hasn’t been kind lol.
The first is a more recent novel, maybe published in last 10-15 years about a serial killer of Hindi descent who has lived his whole life possessed by some type of super supernatural serpent creature (based on the idea of Kundalini) that gives him the ability to burn others by touch. A group of religious heretics are trying to hunt him down and the cover of memory serves had a snake tattoo or design and a fiery background.
The other is an older novel with a shapeshifter theme that explores a man who encounters a strange woman on the road in the desert and she can become different animals. He learns about her tribe and they may be from another dimension. The “villain” at the end goes through a portal and ends up trapped in a tar pit and cannot escape despite trying to shift into various creatures. I believe there was a cougar or other wild cat on the front.
escapes prison chased by dogs crosses the river stays in water melon farm and gets job in petrol pump .

This is a middle grade book that I read ten-ish years ago. It is a story about a middle school girl named Ivy (i think) who’s dealing with making friends and such. She gets a goldfish around the beginning and she wants to get her ears pierced. There is a scene with a snowball fight at school. At the end she goes to a sleepover where her friends dare her to let them pierce her ears.
I’m looking for the title of a children’s book. The cover was red and the story was about a woman and a wagon. The wagon had a churn of cream in it and as the wagon went over bumps “clippity cloppity” the cream soon turned into butter. The woman wore a bonnet and a 1800’s style dress. My son read this book in the early 90’s and it was an older book. Would love to find this book!
Two humorous young-adult books I read around 1972-1975. In one, a farm boy became an amazing baseball pitcher and his granny is in the story (possibly his manager). The other book is similar but he’s an prodigy football player.
Was definitely made before the 2000s. Maybe mid 90s? It’s a red and black book with a frame in the image. I can’t remember exactly but I believe a devil or some similar scary looking thing on the cover. It was in my elementary school’s library as a kid but I don’t think it was a children’s book.
1964-1965
All I remember is a female protagonist, the book had a red cover
And I think the title included the words “red feather “
Hey, I’m not sure if that’s it’s, but I know a book called the Red tent, written in red, the protagonist is indeed a female character and the cover has a woman in it, could it be it?
This books has a blue cover and I know that there is this character named Gerard, that’s gay, and Cali a girls that maybe is his friend (? Please I really want to find it

Hello all, well, I’m looking for a book I read back in the late 80’s early 90’s or so. Here is what I remember, most the people of the earth had died, some kind of end of world event, well, this girl goes thru a lot to survive, has an incident in a Wal-mart, anyway finds this ring of melted glass that looks like a crown, some guy trying to help keep her alive, she finds out she has the power to make plants grow again, something about touching a tree that ends up growing again, leaving her hand print on the trunk of the tree. She ends up being the savior of the world.

Does anyone – OK, I feel like more likely than not no one – no one – will know the book I am talking about, but yeah. I remember I had this book from my childhood, though greater specification about the book regarding when it was published etc. would fail my memory. I dare believe it was before 2010? Maybe before 2008? It was a paperback, blue cover (dark or navy blue), andd——the title, that’s what fails me. Did it contain “journal” or “interesting” or even “very”? Only heaven knows, but I sure hope I am wrong 🙂
maybe The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian?
No, But thank you 🙂
I am looking for a children’s book from the 1960″s. It is a story about some children who break a stained glass window in a church and use a quilt to make a new one. I think this is a Christmas themed book.
So hi,
The book I am looking for is fiction, supernatural, YA and about a girl who has to survive alone, now that her mother is, I think dead? And she knows that she has powers and she has to go to a family but I don’t know if they are relatives or just random people. Anyway, she is send to a magical academy then and has to live in a house of someone who has something to do with the academy and his either nephew or son or something lives there too.
I think this whole story is in Ireland or Scotland or something and the academy has something to do with ravens, and she finds a redhead friend in there and the boy she lives with goes there too. Her first encounter with him is, that she meets him in the garden of the house and he sits in a tree and splashes a bit water onto her to get her attention. So she finds out who he is that he has water and I think air powers. And the plot is about, that the girl and then the boy have to fight the evil director of the school but he tricks them and in the final fight he found a way to connect the girls and the boys powers and manages to make them forget each other. So I suppose the girl has some mind powers? I also remember that their first kiss was, when the girl got kidnapped in a car and managed to flee into some field where the boy found her. Yeah and then the kiss happened. And in the second book, she has to do some kind of mission for the director in some city and she meets the boy there when she came out of a book shop in the rain. That’s about all I remember and I’m sure the title or the academy name or something has to do with ravens. Uhm,…..so can anyone help me?
Could it be James Patterson Maximum Ride about children who are experimented on and grow wings?
A book about a girl who was 15-16 and she lives with her grandma I think. She was invited to her aunts wedding and she wanted to lose weight for the wedding. She works at a pretzel place in a mall and she meets a guy and later was invited to some sort of summer party and the guy was there. She was made fun of because of her weight. She saw this diet package from her grandma’s exercise video. At the end of the book she doesn’t lose the exact amount of weight but she’s happy and she goes to the wedding with the boy

A short illustrated book about a boy who is bullied and loves gasoline pumps. He does not like his life so stands by the road with 2 fingers in his ear with the hope of turning into a gasoline pump (which happens slowly from the feet up). Weird stuff happens like some bullies force him to eat an abacus. At the end when he is a gas pump, his parents not recognizing him use him to get some petrol and say how much their son would have admired this gas pump, and he gives them free petrol and spits out free money.
Does anyone remember a fairly old SF book about a man, stranded I think, on a planet with multicolor (glass/fragile) flora growing underfoot? I think I remember the survival suit provided all needs, then was attacked by the “shards”. I started reading it probably 40 years ago and lost the book before I could finish reading.
Thanks in advance – other resource suggestions welcomed!

A Child Called It by Dave Pelzer
I read this book like 7 or 8 years ago, probably more. It was about a single mom and her son, I can’t remember why but she treated him terribly, ways like putting his hand or I think his face over a burning stove and making him eat garbage and poop, she starved him sometimes. Honestly it was a very very sad book, and the boy got saved at the end and was taken away from her.
Also I think it had a red or dark orange cover
I read this book a while ago I don’t remember the title or author but it was about this boy who just broke up with his girlfriend and ends up with a rebound but in the end finally ends up falling in love with his sister’s babysitter. it’s a comedy and it’s narrated from the perspective of cupid {sort of}
I read it a couple of years ago. The cover was dark blue with an oil rig in the backround. It takes place in a coastal town. The plot of the book is a boy whose dad died in an oil rig accident when he was at work. He works at a grocery store, and is in high school. He meets a girl, and they get really close. He is really good at art but doesnt tell anyone. He then realizes, when he meets her family, that her dad is the lawyer for the company that his dad had worked for, and they are trying to keep him and his family quiet about what really happened. In the end of the book there is a hurricane, but nobody dies. I cannot remember the title for the life of me.
I think the book is “Awake In The World” by Jason Gurley
I am looking for the name of a book. It’s a love story. The woman get sold by her dad who I think is in the mafia. The guy that he sells her to she falls in love with eventually and in the end they get married and have kids.

I’m trying to remember a book in which that the main character is a boy who feels a compulsion To move saplings from a sacred path to the side so that no one will walk on them I think the path is called the Urwald. And that there are monsters I think but the monsters cannot attack you on the path it’s like A magical law also I think it’s some point his teacher or mentor is trapped inside of a bottle but that might just be my imagination
A boy who feels an impulse to dig up saplings from a magical sacred pathway through a forest in which there is an Unspoken Rules that no one can harm each other on that path also I think his mentor or teacher is trapped in a bottle at some point the main characters name might be ronin or rhonin but I cannot be certain In the sacred path has a name like wergild and I think it’s in a world called the urwald actually that might be the name of the path
The book I wanna find is about a teenage girl named aisling and her young brother who go on a journey and fight a raven

They are dressed and adorned for the upper class people and they are open to several gruesome and terrible secrets of the ancient Egyptians. The scenes are quite explicitly explained n portraited in the novel I read it a couple of years back. There are 2 parts of the book I guess. Please do find that book for me

Dear Book Cave,
I’m looking for a book which I found in the philosophy shelves of the Waldenbooks book store in the Los Cerritos Center back in 1981. The book was a small paperback book with a plain white cover. I do remember that the keyword in the title was ‘Ethics’ with some kind of subtitle. I don’t remember the author’s name but I do remember that he was some sports journalist of some name and was a columnist for the New York Times and other major publications which he joked about that he had to be one of the least likely authors of a book on ethics, but that he felt compelled to write about philosophy because of his own personal experiences and observations of human nature and behavior throughout his career as a sports journalist. I do remember the very striking shocking example with which he started the book to illustrate one of his main points about how a person can be good at being an athlete but bad at being a human being. He wrote about a star baseball player of the day, Thurman Munson who was a great baseball player but a very bad person, whom nobody cared for at all, and, who nobody missed very much when he crashed his own private plane and died. The author himself frankly admitted to knowing the man and feeling the same way about him that everybody else did.
It was this blunt admission of loathing which the author made which put me off from buying the book, but I’ve regretted not putting aside personal outrage and immaturity o my part to set aside and see beyond trivial offense the broader and deeper value of another unexpected insight and point of view. I’ve searched for the book over the past few years off and on, and just can’t get that book out of my head. I really wanted and needed to find out the rest of what the author had to say because of my own experiences and insight over the past forty years of living in the world and dealing with the people in it as part of my own moral and practical journey.
If anyone knows the full title and the name of the author and where I can get this book, please write back to me with all due speed to tell me because it’s something that I really have to finish and settle in my life.
Thank you for your attention and assistance,
Phillip Jones

Free kindle book (YA Fantasy/ dystopian)
Read the first book around 2017 I think but I can’t be sure.
The main character (female) left her father (General or commander of their army or something like that) and brother in outer space where they lived to sneak on a space ship headed out on a mission. I remember she knocked out one of the men and stole his uniform and took his place. The ship crashed on a planet (might have been earth) the survivors blamed her and left her at the crash sight (i think) but then she encountered a monster/beast (I think/ it was either that or she just heard a noise and followed it until she found a man) when she found him she tried to fight him but he was too fast and he knocked her out and they travelled through a portal.
Then she woke up in an old house (old ages) it turned out to be the guys mother’s house ( she might have been a healer) the outside of the house was guarded by a big dog or creature.
But more or less they were both warriors and the guy was a high ranked soldier protecting his village from beasts and his brother was the king. There was a ball near the end of the book where a magic object told the king who he could be matched with romantically. And at the end of the book the female character found out her father and brother came on the same planet with a rescue team and her brother got kidnapped so she had to leave. The last thing that happened was the guy dropping her off where he fist found her.

I am looking for a book the cover is of a young man standing at the bottom of the staircase and a girl coming down the stairs with a blue dress. I think the young man’s name was Daniel. Daniel ended up marrying his adopted sister.
I don’t remember many details bc it’s been years. It’s about a teenage boy who’s in a prep school of the sort and he ends up sleeping with his classmates girlfriend leading to a fight and getting kicked out. He goes to live with his father who he isn’t that close with if I remember correctly. He finds some sort of map that belonged to his uncle and finds a little island. I think there was some type of specific bird he discovered that his uncle had mentioned in his notes. He also meets this girl from his new found friend group that he has feelings for. I don’t remember the ending or anything else unfortunately.
I need help finding this book!!
A group of siblings, (a large group, I think that there were at least 5 – 8 kids), are really rich. They live in a big house with their parents, and they all have special skills. They are really into solving puzzles and mind games. One day, their parents don’t come back from a trip, and they are informed that they have to go live with their grandfather. When they arrive in his small town, they discover that their grandfather is not there! (I’m pretty sure that he was a sailor, and his house had a lot to do with sailing and the ocean.) The siblings keep to themselves, as most of the town gossips about them and their family. The youngest child, (or one of the younger ones, anyway), makes friends with the neighbor. Their neighbor is a small girl named Violet, (I think), and she is allergic to oxygen. Her father is very strict and her stepmom is very mean, and neither of them allow Violet to leave the house, as she must stay in specific conditions where the air is clean for her to breathe. She escapes anyway, to play with the siblings, and she wears a helmet that makes it safe for her to go outside. Their grandfather’s house is full of fun rooms, and I remember one such room they called the Smell Library, where smells are bottled. I’m pretty sure that at the end, one of the oldest siblings, a girl, goes to the mail office and gets a letter from her… parents? The novel is a mystery novel.
I think the book is named after the last name of the family, the town, or the house. The cover may be their house as well.
I believe you may be looking for books by Enid Blyton. She wrote a few kids book series. One of them was the “Adventure” series, where each book was called something like, “The River of Adventure,” “The Ship of Adventure,” etc. Another series she wrote was called “The Famous Five” series, and were called things like, “The Famous Five On A Treasure Island.” I bought an old hard copy of The River of Adventure at a Goodwill store on impulse, and found she had written all the rest as well. I hope this helps!
I do not believe this is it, but I will look further into it. I’m pretty sure that the books were more recent that the 40’s, but thank you so much! Everything helps.
I FOUND IT!! It is called The Problim Children by Natalie Lloyd!! I was off about a lot, but I DEFINATELY recommend it!

It is a young persons book of about 6th grade level. It is the story of a young boy dealing with ghosts. He has a spirit guide who was a person that got killed on a railroad track.

I read this back in October or November 2007 when I was working in fourth grade class.
I don’t know the title or author, just one scene. I think it was a YA paperback, and it had black and white line art illustrations. It seemed to be a fantasy/sci fi book. The scene I read involved a teenage girl, who I think was related to/descended from the villain. The villain was a baron or wizard, possibly from a time like the French Revolution. The girl was accompanied by a small talking animal and some sort of intelligent computer. She was sitting or standing in front of a couch as the baron/wizard was making a grand proclamation about her ancestry and his public execution. She said something as the wizard relives his going to the gallows/chopping block in front of her. Angered, the wizard turns on the girl. The narration was third person and states that he seemed to hypnotize her as she stood in front of the couch. He ties her hands behind her back and then makes her sit on the couch, tying her ankles. He then gags her and goes back to reenacting his execution. The girl turns to the animal/computer, which displays a question. The illustration showed her to be white and blonde, and sitting on the couch with her hands and ankles tied. She may have had a ponytail and was wearing a polo shirt, tennis shoes, and a knee-length skirt.
Looking for the sequel of a mystery/detective the detective is a female named Daisey was raised in a commune in the south her father rescued her he had also been a detective. She had a baby while in the commune that was taken from her and she was told the baby died. there is a reporter male named Bear. Can’t think of the title or author does the story sound familiar to any one. Thanks

It is a werewolf story. The ML had a mate but she was killed by rogues. He is the alpha of a strong pack and he has a son, a little cute boy.
The FL lives in another pack and a few years back found out that her mate was the future alpha. Who threatened her to keep it a secret from others because he choose her step sister (who is not aware of anything) as his mate, because they were already dating.
She his the daughter of the beta and she has a twin brother and a gay best friend.
The ML and the FL meet one night at a bar and end up spending the night together, she leaves in the morning. they Don’t see each other for a few months (I think…).
He is asked to help with the training her pack and there they meet again.
I know it is a cliché story but I am unable to forget it and want to read it again…
So please will you help this poor soul?
Okay so in this book here are the scenes I remember:
The book takes place in a dystopian society. I believe its in the middle of a war.
In the beginning, a man is running from gunfire but he is shot several times. He still manages to escape.
A girl (man character) is exploring with her brother. They come across a body of water where they find something floating in the middle. Its covered in flies and they think its dead. They drag it out the water and realizes its an injured man/creature that is still alive.
There’s another scene where the brother and sister get separated. The girl is stopped by boy soldiers who kidnap her. She escapes by causing an explosion using one of the alcoholic beverages the soldiers were drinking.
The girl befriends the man/creature who helps her find her brother. (or maybe her brother is with her and they just need help reaching the other side of the wall which is safe and there is no war).
In one scene the girl is hanging on to the back of the man and he has to swim underwater to keep from being discovered as they sneak to the wall. She is forced to hold her breath but she struggles.
please help me find this book!
Looking for children’s book. Printed likely in the 90s. Book and pages were like sepia or tan color for an olden look. A bunny who fakes sick to stay home from school. Gets into a little mischief around the house….seem to remember perhaps a friend dropping school work off and something about the grandfather clock.
I read this book once, its about a girl in a train where she met a prince, she never knew he was a prince, then they fell in love, made love, but the next day the girl left the prince without him knowing.. time passed (not sure if it’s days or months) the prince was arranged to marry someone else, the girl was in the crowd and that’s where she found out that the man she met in train was actually a prince.. forgot what really happened but the ending was the prince ran away with the girl, left his title and all.. the title of the book was like Merrywin, Marywin, Merrywind? The book cover was like a castle or a man and woman at the top of the mountain or hill, then a train. Hope someone can help.
The holy spirit helps her escape from an pla hospital.We think it was forgive and forget. But cannot remember.

I’m looking for a book I have read before. There is a girl that goes on a trip with a class I guess and her ex is on this trip. She makes a friend with a guy who is a sorta nerd. Her ex says she went on the trip because of him though. The trip is kinda a sightseeing trip with learning about history. They had to take a train and the girl’s ex ends up either jumping or falling in front of a train (?) The girl and her new friend decide to do some investigating and think someone killed him.
I am looking for a novel,it’s about a grandmother adopting about 6-8 boys when they were young. They grown into nice men and it happens that one of them was in charge of his childhood kids and the grandmother sent her niece or cousin’s daughter to him thinking he was only taking care of one child.
looking for a comic book with a purple cover, maybe a light purple,I remember one scene where they were in a marketplace and caused a huge mess and had to run. i also remember a stand full of shrunken heads (not sure if this is a part of the book but i think so) i also remember a cyclops wearing an apron yelling HEY! another scene where they knocked over a jar of eyeballs and I think there was an animal guide (not 100% sure though) my memory is bad so i might be mixing things up but i think this is close enough
so I have been trying to find this book for a long time! It’s about a girl who was stuck in an attack hiding from soldiers but IDK, anyways I don’t think they find her and she becomes trapped. Years later a family moves in and I think the girl looked like her, she had blonde hair and she was always told what to do, I also remember she had a ghost friend and I think he had blonde hair too! The cover looks like she is standing by a tree with the ghost boy I think and maybe she’s in a black or dark blue dress. I’m not sure if this is apart from the same book but she finds an abandoned hospital of some sort and finds a girl with black hair who’s talking to her ( which was most likely a ghost) and she is wandering I think. I remember she was looking for something and she tried traveling but that’s all I can remember. I read this book in like 6th grade and I don’t really remember the name but for me, the name felt like it was called ” in-between” but it wasn’t so I’m still trying to look for it and I hope you guys can help!
Looking for the name of a book about a woman who is a member of some sort of political organization (I think) and they kidnap the governor’s (or someone similar) wife who is pregnant for ransom. The wife dies, and the woman takes the baby and moves away, raises the baby as her own. She later gets married and develops arthritis or some type of severe physical ailment and people find out the truth about her daughter.
I’m looking for this one too! Have you figured it out yet??
The Secret Life of CeeCee Wilkes!?
Yes! Thank you so much!
I am looking for an illustrated children’s book about two sisters (both of which had recently married), who were bequeathed an equal amount of money.
The first sister (A) wanted to live frugally, but comfortably, so bought a modest house. The second sister (B) wanted to live impressively, so bought a lavish house.
The story takes you through the process of the sisters decking out their houses to suit their chosen tastes, with cutaway views of their houses.
Sister A chooses sensible items, and sister B chooses lavish – but the latter runs out of money to complete ‘the look’ of her lifestyle. To compensate for this, she and her husband decide to give their servants the best rooms in the house for free as payment. Sister B and her husband end up living uncomfortably in the attic, whilst sister A and her husband have plenty for themselves.
I think the book was written between 1970s-1980s.
Thanks for your help in advance!
All I know is it’s a horror set at the 4th of July about 2 children who find a creepy shack in the woods
I read a romance novel from the 90s or early 2000s. The only thing I remember about it was the main characters best friend. I’m not sure if they were nurses or training in a world war. The two women had love interests. The friend who had dark hair was dating a dark haired man. He ends up having an accident of some sort with either a machine or a vehicle. Presumed dead or she gets word that he is dead. Another character is introduced as a mechanic kinda in the background, big scarred man with a beard. The friend ends up drawn to him. Finds out it is her lover and he wanted to spare her the pain of his disfigurement…
And thats all i remember.
i am looking for a book, that i thought the name was the secret garden but i have found that book and it is not the same, this is a young girl that lost her inheritance if she married early, she married and the man immediately died but she never went back for the money. she later worked as a research assistant and then cared for a professor’s son and he called her miss honor, the professor needed someone to substitute classes for him and found he had her right in his house caring for his son
It starts off with the heroine sneaking into a guy’s house to return something (or maybe retrieve something) as a favor to a friend. Her friend is the mistress of the guy who owns the house. She is caught by a different guy (hero) who is staying there (I believe he is the guy’s brother or something) and I believe she convinces him that she is the mistress because he was drunk.
Next, she runs into him and is introduced to him at a party. He recognizes her and she recognizes him and they end up in a discussion and kissing in a dark room. I believe she is single due to the death of her husband or maybe fiancé. She is daring and willful.
I’m looking for a book. Historical romance, pretty sure it’s about pirates. i’m afraid i might be mixing two different stories ( if so i wanna find both books!) i remember the cover ( i think) being a beautiful woman, with black hair and in a blue or purplish dress, laying down i think….the beginning of the book starts with her running away from some kidnappers and she’s running along a cliff…she’s hurt or gets hurt and when she gets down to the beach area something happens i cant remember…but she wakes up on a ship where she meets the main love interest guy. she stays in his cabin room on the ship…things happen….im trying to remember more details…i know she finds everything in the room bolted down bc i think she was looking for a weapon…i think i recall an evil pirate, a secret pirate island…slaves being sold…she gets captured and is put up for sale…i think the evil pirate guy has a woman on the island her name is red something i think!! and i think he tries to make the girl walk off the plank into some sharks or something. i really cant remember and i want to find this book ( or books! lol) so bad.
Hi Laura,
You did mix up the plot of 2 books lol, alas by the same author.
The author is Johanna Lindsey. The ‘pirate theme’ book is entitled ‘ Gentle Rogue’.
The other book which is also by Ms. Lindsey is abt a young girl with an astonishing singing voice and whose love interest has a side hussy on the side whose hair is red (I think).
The book was about a girl named Eden who just graduated from high school and started working at a grocery store
Some of the characters I remember were, Eden, Lacey (Her best friend) Toni (Her boss)
A certain quote that I remember was “Lacey you cut you’re hair your one true beauty!”
I am looking for a book that may be titled Stop, No and Don’t. I think the author is Ellie or something like that. She wrote a journal type book about how her father sexually abused her in her childhood. It is a good book but I cannot find it anywhere. Can you help, please?!?!
I seem to think you are looking for ‘DON’T’ by Elly Danica I also read it years ago. is available on Amazon UK plus there is a follow on book to it, Also available on ebay. Fingers crossed it is the right book.
Thank you Julie so much for your reply. I remember the title now when I read your message. I love this site as how we can find books for others.
Thanks again, 🙂
Linda
Not a problem at all, I just love a little research project.
Happy to be of service.
All the best
I have not been able to find this book for years. It has a grey, metallic cover with 4 lego figures. It was not about legos in any capacity. I thought the title was Jcube but as it turns out it was not, but a cubicle in the book was NAMED jcube. I contacted the library i got it from. they have no records of it. I searched google. Not a trace. I looked through amazon, booksellers, I have tried everything. It is like the book never existed. The book made little sense, many pages full of random numbers or word salad, with the writing itself being about an office or cubicle. I can remember one of the arcs was that the boss or CEO got a slushie machine for the office. A valentines day one, too, i think, and there was also one with a “hug machine” that was 2 mattresses that would squish someone together in a “hug”. Near the end the main character smuggled weed. It’s not like I havent tried. I have been trying for years. trying to find it has taken a toll on me. I need to find the book. I need evidence that it was a book , that was real, that i held in my hands, because reading it was so garbled that it is hard to explain. Half of the book was word salad.
I read this murder mystery but I didn’t finish and it’s killing me and now I can’t remember the title it’s about a female lawyer who was asked to work where her mum lived her grandma raised her then there’s this sheriff that keeps flirting with her I think she likes him and there’s also a rich family she suspects plus she’s very good looking and hot and she’s looking for her mothers killer and yes her mum is cremated
The Westing Game?
There’s this book I read in Middle School, I believe it is about a guy and his friends (can’t remember their age, I want to say they were young adults around college age) who take a plane ride to go on some kind of trip and after something happens (Either the main protagonist fell asleep or the plane crashes) the Main Protagonist wakes up naked and separated from his friends in a strange forest that seems otherworldly, the Main Protagonist must find his friends and try to survive, later on his finds some of them and they create clothes for him out of some kind of plant fiber.
I remember towards the end the group tries to leave the woods and cross some chasm but are beset by large monsters, one of which ends up killing a member of the group, but they keep pushing forward, I can’t remember much about the end but in the last chapter the main protagonist believes he and his friends had been shrunken down to the size of bugs and the creatures they were fighting were just regular animals and insects and the strange woods were actually grass in a local park (I also cannot remember if the events really happened or if it was all a dream)
But at the end the protagonist returns to a local park and attempts to see if he can smell burning wood as if he is trying to find the group’s campsite.
Title: ?
Author: ?
Plot: A young girl (whom I believe was named Tunes, named after her grandfather) was falsely accused of murder. Her best friend, the narrator, is a young boy who attempts to help her escape the police because he thinks she’s innocent. The novel takes place in one of the southern states in the US, has somewhat of a discriminatory lining to it towards African Americans.
it is about a boy having a crush and trying to get with the girl, her name is eve or ava, and he meets a boy who helps him with a set of rules to be able to date the girl. Him and the girl are in an art class making a collage project. the girl is blonde and has a boyfriend, the boyfriend is mean and a bully, the main character though is kind of a nerd. the books colour was pink with the girl on the cover.
This book is about a doctor who is shot, but survives, during the kidnapping of his baby girl. He may work with doctors without borders. His best friend, an attorney, cannot be trusted.
This book is written by a woman (Canadian I think) who spends six months of the year travelling, six months working, six months travelling etc. I think part of her travels are in Africa. However I can’t remember the title or who it’s by!
There was this book about a woman who worked at an art gallery. There were ongoing murders in the town she worked in, and I think the bodies were found in a body of water next to the gallery (a lake or a harbor, maybe?). A detective visited the town, and they met up in the gallery. I think there was a fire in her apartment at some point in the book as well.
I would love it if anyone knows the book title (especially with that poor description I gave) <3
I’m not sure what it is, but when you find it, PLEASE tell me the name of it because I NEED to read that! (If you can’t tell, I love murder mysteries… lol)
Sure! I LOVE them too. It might be a book by Sarah Blake, but I’m still not sure.
Years back I read a book that was perfect, a book I have tried to remember the title but it’s failed me over and over again……..
A lady is bestowed inheritance from an old man with a big family that was never related to her at all. (don’t remember reason why that happened) but the family sons and daughters plot and steal it from her and throw her on the streets with her young brother……she works hard little by little plotting her come back, builds a big empire again and does all she can to reclaim what was given to her. I remember she was in love with one of the sons. I want to own this book again anyone that has read something similar help me out please.
Thank you
So years and years ago I picked up a comic- manga type book from my elementary school library and just remembered about it now. I remember it having a young boy who was a mail man as the main character. There was also another character introduced who had scarves covering his face so you could only see his eyes. One big thing I remember from this character was that he loved birds and birds would always be around him. The last thing I remember is the ending. It turns out that the bird guy is actually a robot that was ment to destroy the world. It was definitely a big twist that was very sudden and thats when the boon ended. I have no clue if there are more books after but the book ended so fast that I would think that it had a sequel. I cannot remember the author or title and it has been bugging me for awhile.
(I had searched in Google and asked friends if they knew but I still couldn’t find a title…)
Hi All, There is a female author who wrote a number of books with titles starting with “The cat that . . “, “The man who . . .” and “The girl who . . .”. For the life of me I cannot find anything on these titles. Any help will be dearly appreciated.
This probably isn’t it but Lilian Jackson Braun wrote a bunch of “the cat who….” books.
Thanks Kira, I think you may be right about this one, and it makes this even more relevant. This is an incredibly versatile cat: The cat who could read backwards, The cat who ate Danish, The cat who knew Shakespeare and finally The cat who killed Lilian Jackson Braun. Why I was interested: a guy I know claims that his cat walked over his keyboard and inadvertently sent the link of a horrific porn site to the directors of an organisation he belongs to. The cat also, by stepping on just the right keys caused him to lose 1000s on his stock trade program!
Now imagine titles like The cat who watched porn or The cat who traded on the stock exchange!
Wow. Imagine that. Well, I’m happy I could help
I am looking for a book that was published in the 70s or 80s. I was a book about ways of keeping your house clean. It was pretty funny.. The part i remember is where she talks about how her sisters house was always tidy even first thing in the morning but hers wasnt and one day a visitor rang her doorbell and she hid under the table because her house was so cluttered.. I think the cover had a picture of a women maybe with curlers in her hair but im not sure.. It was a very funny book … They also had file cards with when days, weekly, monthly etc. you could buy along with the book.. I hope this helps.. Thank you.
Could be either the Flylady books, or maybe the side tracked sisters. Both are in a similar vein.
Hope this helps!
There was this book I read last year. On the cover, it is green and there is a white boy, a black boy, and a white girl. The main character (the white boy) loves movies and making them he eventually goes to film school. He shows the girl these. It also became a movie
me and earl and the dying girl?
Omg yessss thank you so much!!!
Back when I was a 7th grader (I’m a junior in high school now) I had an entire stack of books and I particularly remember one book. It was about a young teenager who felt ugly and at a carnival she meets a lady who draws her and in the morning she wakes up and she’s extremely beautiful and she got to get with the guy she likes. She becomes popular but she ends up changing from the person she used to be. I remember a few scenes. One being she shoved her face in pie so her mom won’t notice her transformation and the other being she turns back to her normal self and she asks the boy if she looks different and he says “You look more beautiful than you ever have” or something like that. SOMEONE PLZ HELPPPP!!!
I am looking for a book i read a year or two ago that is about a girl who works/was at a bar and meets a famous soccer player (she doesnt know he’s famous.) They’re photo is taken by paparazzi which leads to his manager saying that he can no longer be pictured as that type of person and therefore has to marry this girl. She has to sign a contract and he buys a house for them. They also end up falling in love in the end. I remember his mom or dad is dead and also her ex is crazy and attacks her in their home.
Ok I’ve been looking for this book for years but no one knows it…
The plot is about a girl who’s on a ship, and she gets mad at her dad and falls off the boat. She gets stranded on an island full of broken toys and machines. I’m not sure but I think it might be a magic island, because she’ll freeze(like not with cold, but she’ll stop moving) if she doesn’t get off the island in one/two days. She makes friends with everyone on the island, including a broken radio who they call the “yoo doo creature” because the only thing it can say is “yoo doo”. I think she spends the night, but she gets kidnapped while she’s sleeping by a family who’s jealous of her for some reason. I think this family was called the domino family??? There’s also a pine tree on the island, named Pine, who when the other machines realize the girl’s missing, points them in the right direction to find where the domino family are hiding her. Pine ends up dying, as there’s a lightning storm that splits him in half. The girl is already slowing down in her movements when they try to make her escape from the island, but she eventually makes it back to her father.
I AM LOOKING FOR A MYSTERY BOOK READ SEVERAL YEARS AGO THE FIRST BOOK OF THE SERIES WAS ABOUT A GIRL WHO TALKED TO GHOST THE FIRST BEING HER GRANDMOTHERS NEMESIS AND HAD A MAN NAMED CHICKEN. THE SECOND IN THE SERIES WAS THE SAME BUT HAD A TITLE OF SOMETHING GRAVEYARD
I’ve been looking for a book I read around 2015. It’s about these kids who’ve never met each other before but get this opportunity to go to an island/facility place. The book is narrated from the perspective of a 12-16 year old boy but I don’t remember his name. When he gets to this place though, he can sense something is just off. As the story progresses, he realizes that he and the other kids are part of this experiment to change their minds/brains to famous smart people like Einstein, Newton, etc. I can’t remember why the adults running the facility are trying to do this but there was this one kid who actually wanted his brain changed. The main character and the other kids try to escape and they come to this swampy forest place. I don’t remember much else of the chase through the swamp but the doctor who was trying to preform the procedures gets eaten by a crocodile.

(I’m not 100% if I’m right but this is all that I remember.) I’m looking for a book with two girls, I’m pretty sure are southern. One of them wore a blue dress and the other one wore a yellow dress. I read it in second grade and it was a level K. The two girls were sisters and one of them was named Maybelle. I don’t remember if it was a book series or not but some of the plots I do remember from the book was that, Maybelle and her sister got lost while riding around in a carriage. Another plot I remember is where they had to perform in front of people, but the performance was bad so they got tomatos thrown at them. I also think the cover of the book was yellow. I hope this is specific enough!

The book I’m looking for is about a group of people who have taken a drug that transforms them into what they truely are. For example one couple, the man turns into a small fairy with wings like a moth and his wife turns into a giant amazon who dies by the leaf of the mother in-law plant. Another character turns into an African mythological creature who rides a type of wild boar that has a bone shape object on its back that she connects to to ride. There are about a dozen different people. They are in an enclosed lab like place during this experiment. I believe the main character is trying to decided whether or not to take the pills(?) and change and then leads a revolt against the main protagonist who is the small fairy with moth wings and his wife the giant amazon. I think the book was written between 1950-1990’s. I think the cover was a face with a moth over it and the eyes were the spots on the wings. I remember reading it around 2005ish from the library in Northern CA. Vallejo Main Library to be exact. Thanks for any help.

It was about this teenage girl who was in high school and finds out her boyfriend was riding to school on his motorcycle and crashes and dies. But suddenly she has this feeling to go for a walk and she ends up outside of town at this abandoned house, and it’s night time by then and she goes in and he appears and tells her what happened to his bike that someone cut his breaks. & other ghosts live there too. But when morning comes they disappear. & she goes back and they reappear.
The book I’m looking for is about a woman that wakes up on the floor in someone else apartment in a younger woman’s body. She tries to figure out who this young woman is and what happen to herself. The color of the book I think was red and orange. I do remember that the photo on it was in black and it was maybe the back of a woman’s head but if you look at it you could see two women’s face outlines.
The book is about a teenage girl who’s boyfriend dies in a motorcycle accident.
& he lives outside of town in this abandoned house with other ghosts but she can only go see him at night because he disappears when it’s morning.
The book cover is green, it has the drawing of a woman made out of vines and branches sinking in water.
It’s subplot is about an island that every year makes a witch made of or vines and so forth and every year they push her off the cliff to sink in the sea
maybe the greenwitch part of the dark is rising series by susan cooper.
Hello! I am in search of a book, from my childhood. (1968–1978). It was a Scholastic book, from a book club. The front had a tall, rock, bridge, with a deep cavern below. The story was about travelers. Each character was a fantasy-type person. One of them was a “snake-man”. That’s all I can remember about it. Thank you!
VERY DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF A BOOK IM TRYING TO FIND!
A teen girl moves to a new town with her parents. she might have some mental health issues or grieving as a relative may have died (idk for sure). In her room is a teen boy ghost who died there. she doesn’t notice him at first but he slowly manages to communicate with her (i think with touch) and using her energy he begins to become a little more ‘human’ and they are able to talk, and she sees him. the girl also goes to a new school and has barely any friends, until she meets a guy there. she hangs out with him more and catches feelings. Then at some point, the popular girls invite her over for a sleep over or something like that and i think it doesnt go down well. she also catches feelings for the ghost in her room, and they often sneak out? I’m not sure. the ghost has this special place by the sea (like a cave) which he has fond memories of from when he was alive. the girl helps him move on to the afterlife, but when he says hell leave she tries to kill herself to join him. but the ghost tells her not to and it ends with her dating the guy from school and the ghost having moved on. this chapter might begin with from the ghost’s point of view, waking up dead and seeing the girl enter. if you could find this book ill be so happy, been looking for it for a long time!! thank u 🙂
Omg I know this book but I too do not remember the title or the name of the author. All I remember is that it had a greenish cover and two people (a man and a woman) If you do find it, please tell me too. I really loved this book
wait this is similar to the book I’m looking for, does the girl and the ghost have blond hair? was the girl controlled by her mother? did a girl die in a room or attic trying to hide from bad men? if so I am also looking for that book!!!!
Oh my gosh… That’s it! That’s the book! I can’t believe we can literally name everything that happens in that book but not the name. I’m heartbroken. I hope someone knows the name.
Idk if this will help too but the title I think, is one word

This is hazily remembered from childhood in the 1980’s. There was a book in which the animals in a petstore talked to each other at night. The one I remember the most was the story of an ape who was a transformed princess or something like that. At the end, the ape/princess still has a ring which is used to pay for something.
Trying to remember a book from a ghosts POV I believe, I don’t remember much but I am dying to know what it is! It’s a female girl that is driving and comes to a turn that is a cliff and she goes off of
It and dies. There might be other ghosts down there with her and she tries to stop other cars from getting confused and going down and that’s pretty much all I remember..
Hi there, Im looking for a book which I read in elementary, I remember that there was 3 main characters 2 of them were boys and one of them was a girl I think the girls name was Lucy but then again I read this in elementary so I don’t remember much, I know they went though paranormal experiences at the school one of them being lucy going into a locker which lead her somewhere and another being one of the boys having to skate on ice to save his friends on the cover of this book I remember the boy who was skating going towards the camera while skating away from the school with his friends by his side and behind him on the ice he was skating on there was a shadow of a hand chasing after them. I think the book might have been a comic but i’m not too sure
the last part where I was describing what it looked like was one of the books covers which was either the 3rd of 4th book I think
a to z mysteries maybe?

Hi. I have been desperately trying to find a book from my childhood. I read it all the time and it was my favorite! My aunt took it to goodwill after we had garage sale at her house and since I left i accidently, left it behind she assumed it was part of the sale and that was that. I do not recall the author, nor the title, nor do I even remember how it came into my life. Was it a family members (like a great grandmothers? great aunt? did someone buy it for me? did i get it at the school book fare. I have no clue) I do know it was before 1987, but again, it was from anytime before that, so it could have been anytime between 1920s or so all the way to late 80s. All i remember is it was about a dog, a cat, and a pig that went on an adventure. I remember them coming up on a circus and the only other thing i remember was the picture of the cat standing on the huge ball in the circus tent. I know it’s not The Incredible Journey that homeward bound was based off of. There was no pig, that was 2 dogs and a cat. This specifically had a dog, pig, and a cat. Every used book store i come across i literally spend hours in there looking at every book in hopes to find it again. If anyone remembers this book I would be so grateful. (Also the sporadic pictures that were in it were in black and white). Thank you for your time

Hey, so I am looking for a book that I read sometime either in middle or high school. All I remember is that there was a boy who stayed in either a nursing home or a psychiatric facility, but I think it was a nursing home, while his dad was away. I believe his mother is deceased or something. His dad was some kind of scientist or explorer or something like that. When the dad comes home, when he leaves for his next trip, the boy goes with him and they end up on a boat where the dad’s new girlfriend is with them but the boy does not realize they are dating until later in the book. The last thing I remember is that they were stopped somewhere and the boy saw a man watching them I think and at one point they get attacked. Does anyone know what book or reading I am referring to??
IF YK WHAT BOOK I AM TALKING ABOUT PLEASE DM ON INSTA @wr.lizz
I’m looking for a mystery book. I don’t remember much about it. Only the fact that the cover is very simial to “Where The Forest Meets the Stars”, but I know for a fact that’s not my book. My book is about some type of rivalry between detectives, and I’m pretty sure a lady is found dead by an alley or by one of those giant garbage bins. I also remember someone’s wife is murdered, and most of the characters are rich or part of the upper class. There is also a small girl who cried because her parents are going through a divorce. I don’t remember much, but I believe the cover is a big help. It’s dark blue with trees with a starry night sky. Mainly a mystery and detective book.
There is also a major trial that goes on between the two rivaling detectives or lawyers. Now that I think about it, I’m pretty sure they were lawyers, it’s all very foggy. Please help.
I’m looking for a friend of mine, she’s looking for a fav book from her childhood and she’s about 70 now and this is what she recalls of it.
So, this is very far-fetched, but when I was younger we got this book from Goodwill, but I honestly have no idea where it went; All I know is that it was a YA graphic novel horror story. It might have had supernatural themes but I don’t remember. It had a fake leather cover, and it might have had fake blood spatter. It also might have been multiple short stories in one book. I distinctly remember it having curse words in it, and possibly, like, gray-tinted pictures, but was colored.
on the off chance someone here has read this:
looking for a book i read a few years ago, its most likely a YA Sci-fi genre novel.
about a girl that has this telepathy power and while at her barista/waitress job, gets recruited by this man who takes her to a program/dormitory where theres a group of other teens with abilities. i know there’s one possible male love interest in the book too if that helps. i can’t recall any other details but i need to know i didn’t just make up this whole book lol.
if it helps, i think the title had something like ‘normals’ in it, like supernormals, abnormals, etc.

Looking for an old book who’s protagonist is called Lucky, he is a cat who acts like a human. It’s a Choose your own adventure book and he gets into situations where he can go to a rich boarding school or a poor one, he can become a farmer or work at sea on a boat, he gets trapped on an island with cannibals and many more situations. I believe he is swinging on something on the cover. It’s a realistic looking cat with human personalities.

This book I found in a 5th grade library was my favorite, finding it would mean the world to me and help regain some old memories. So this books cover was black splashed with white, had a pencil and apple on the cover, either had crumpled up paper or a paper airplane on the front, was paperback. The story itself was of a girl who’s classmate (I think) tommy or something like that liked her and made her a pie out of sweet berries and that he later dies. I can’t remember the rest as it was 2017-2019

The Naturals by Jennifer Lynn Barnes?
Hi, I am looking for a book. I remember I read it in elementary school. It was about a boy who couldn’t go outside at all. Their family had a house by a farm and they made their money with crops. At a certain point of day, they had to use the window shaders so people couldn’t see the child. I’m pretty sure his mom taught him school. But one day he tried to run away and he ran to his neighbors and I’m pretty sure he got caught, and the police got called on him even though his father was a policeman which made people suspicious of him. They decided to make the kid have a fake id and run away. Please help me find this book it was so interesting. Thank you.

Then one of them was murdered in a bathroom and for a while after, the one still living was confused with her identity.

I’m looking for a book I think is about a girl looking for her dog or stuffed animal around a mountain. I only remember a picture of a very long tunnel and a mountain surrounded by many awesome things. I don’t remember anything else about it.
I also think it was published before the 2010’s, because I was about 8 or 7 when I read it.
I remember another thing, It had a blanket in the final scene!
Hi, I’m looking for a book or rather a series about two sisters who own a flower or candy shop.
The first book is about the one sister who falls for a guy with a motorcycle and I remember the guy makes a joke and sticks his head under her t-shirt while they are in the hospital (I think one of them hurt their ankle) and talks to her stomach and she thinks there might be a baby in her belly but he makes a joke and says the freckles on her stomach looks like a face of a baby.
The second book is about the other sister where she has a crush on the dentist in town and accidentally chips her tooth and goes to the dentist to fix it and they fall in love. She also has a orange cat.
These two books/series is really funny. Please let me know when you find it??!!
I don’t remember much, but the cover was dark purple with a shadow of two detectives and a cat on it. I know the end of the book took place on a train that I think the characters and the cat were trying to escape. I also remember they got out of a car at the end and were taken somewhere. The cat also told stories about its life leading up to where they were. Please help!
I also remember there was a male and female protagonist if that helps.
I also think it had Lantern in its title.
A little sister feels left out when her older brother and a friend builds sand castles for a competition she ruins it for him by leaving a sandwhich on the castle and the dog demolishes it when he eats the sandwhich. She gets grounded from the fireworks.
The book was about dragon riders. In this book the man char was a boy who was pretty much the Cinderella. In the story there was a cave where dragons would lay their eggs, and every year kids about a certain age would go into the cave and an egg would hatch for them. Basically choosing a rider. Well there was an egg that would never hatch and I can not remember if it was larger then the others, but it had hatched however for the kid everyone bullied and was thought to be worthless. I really want to pick this book back up and reread it. It was a book from when I was a child and it may be a children’s book but I don’t care.
I’m looking for a book I read about a year and a half ago,
It’s a 21st century type scene
In this world you get skin brands if you lie, cheat, steal etc. There’s 5 brands you can get. I remember 1 was on the plan and one was on the tongue. I don’t remember where the other are. If you get a brand you have to wear an orange armband.
The female lead. Is dating the mayors son, and she ends up helping this old man with an armband.
She ends up going to court and after much guilt and lying confesses to everything making her guilty of all 5 brands.
The mayor being mad gives her a 6th brand in the center of her back.
The last scene in the book is one of the judges giving her a business card.
That’s all I remember hope this helps!
Oh I also remember that it is a series. At least a second book.

I am looking for a book that I read in the 90s. It was a YA book about a boy who lived in the city with his mother after having lost his father. (All details are very fuzzy) The cover is what I remember most vividly. It had a sepia tone, scratched canvas sort of feel (it reminded me of the cover of The Downward Spiral). There was the protagonist boy sat down with his head resting on his knee. The book was a huge bummer, and everything that happened was depressing. I also maybe remember a connection to a single flower, or a root structure? The flower was a metaphor for the boy, the single beautiful thing growing in the horrible, poverty stricken environment. If I remember right…

There was this book I read a couple of years ago about time and in the story there was a young girl dealing with suicide and an old man dealing with not wanting to die and I believe the cover was also red.
I read this book when I first entered middle school but the book got taken away before I could finish it because it was at the wrong school. I’m now halfway through high school and I’m still stuck on this book.
the main character is a teenage boy who has a crush on a popular girl named (Maria?) I believe she was Hispanic. but once he got to know (Maria?) personally he finds out that her life isn’t all that lavish.
I believe (Maria?) lived with her sister.
the main character and (Maria) went into a neighborhood that was under construction and had a “date” in one of the houses
I also believe the cover of the book had a semi purple tint.
the book also took place at a high school a few times
in one part of the book, the main character gets intimate with (Maria?) and he describes her undergarments as lace & in the color Lavander.

I’ve this lovely historical romance novel long time ago, and still remember the story. I would like to read it again, however, I no longer remember the title or the name of the author. The story is a bout a rich girl who sought for an adventure, ran away, boarded a train, met a girl and discovered that the girl was to become a an unwilling mail-order bride because she was in love with her boyfriend, so the rich girl had an idea, she was to be the mail-order bride who would marry a rich Texas rancher. Both girls agreed. Finally, the rich girl married the Texas rancher. After a few months, the other girl, showed up at the Texas rancher and introduced herself as his mail-order bride. And the story got more exciting from there.
I’m looking for a romance book that I read long time ago. The plot is: father of a blind child falls in love with the boy’s tutor/babysitter who actually is his aunt. The babysitter had come to investigate her sister’s sudden death and had initially thought the husband was the suspect. (Either the son or the father’s name was Pete or Peter.
A novel about a woman who has 4 daughters I think they were Heather, Jasmine, Posey, and Lily. She meets another man, leaves her husband and the story then jumps about 10 years, and is then told from one of the daughter’s perspective. One of the daughters Posey drowned while swimming the English Channel.
It’s a book about a man who goes to war comes back and becomes a duke he later stabs the king with a poisonous blade and takes over but rules poorly the people eventually rise up and kill him I think it has a scottish or irish themed name but cant even remember much about it.

She was only about 3 and her aunt took her in because her dad was nowhere to be found and he was a suspect. She has a trunk of evidence from the crime scene in her attic and she goes to a high school where something is going on with the science room. I can’t remember much and these are just different pieces. Somewhere near the end she gets kidnapped and almost dies.
The title is rivers end by Nora Roberts
Is she a teenager throughout the book? I’m not sure this is the one because I remember her being a teenager and her father was missing.
Does she get sorta involved with her neighbor, and ends up trapped underground? Almost dies. If so, I think I know what book you’re talking about
I’m not sure I know she gets caught up with some guy her age though. Also she does almost die because she gets kidnapped by someone.
Hey, I am looking for this short novel I read, I believe it is Canadian and may have the word “firefly” in the title but I could be off.
It is about a teenage girl who is a bit troubled, she steals lingerie from La Senza and later goes on to do the drug Mescaline with other teenage girls she meets.
She spends time at a cottage with her close girl friend and they hook up, she has a boyfriend and they watch Cannibal Holocaust together and later she finds out he ended up hanging himself in his shed to kill himself because he reacted badly to drugs.
At the end she’s at a cottage or something with her father and there is a small flood of some sort.
I’m looking for a book where the heroine goes to find her little brother at a party who is involved in drugs. The hero finds out and saves her from the bad guy at the party. He has a security company. He has a thing for her and protects her.

So the women left her son with her human friend. And walked into her which is knew was rigged, just to throw them off for a while. The friend had to still bags of blood from the blood bank to feed the boy. And somewhere in the process a vampire man says she’s his mate. ( these good guys call themselves immortals, not vampires) but the come in and save the women and boy. There’s a lot more in the story, it’s just to much to write. I’ve been looking for that story for a very long time.

I just read a few chapters on FB about a millionaire who befriended a girl by paying for her food in a coffee shop. She didn’t want him to pay but he left her his business card. She was later attacked and lost her memory and the police found his card in her purse. He took her to the hotel he owned and let her stay there. The police were looking for her attackers and will let the man know once that happens. He took her to a business meeting. That’s all I remember!
The book is where two friends buried there mate and go of to the pub but on the way back to dig him up they crash and all die back

Trying to find a book I read in JR. High. This girl (I feel like her name is Angela or Angie? I’m also pretty sure I’m way off on her name) who for English class is assigned to write in a journal. She’s a virgin who meets this older bad boy (Jason? Probably still way off) he introduces her to all sorts of bad things and becomes abusive. She in detail describes her “first time” and its similar to rape… I believe in part of it she describes how she felt afterwards and how she had semen caked to her inner thigh. For whatever reason I think the book is called “(female main charters name), journal”

They were blue with a photo of the animal on the front.

I read this book a long time ago and dont remember much about it. The story has to do with this girl who goes to a camp(very clarifying am I right?) When she first gets there I remember her being pestered by some boys about a “blowjob”. She ends liking this one guy and they hang out in a shed to be alone at one part. There was also something to do with a dock and maybe drowning. If anyone recognizes this story at all please let me know, I really want to find it and read it again.

Looking for a book I read back in 1994-95(?) the setting was in Florida near a beach. Don’t know when book was published. It was about a young woman who I believe had a son and was hiding from the child’s father(?) It seemed no matter where she went he would locate her. Her last move was to a town in Florida (Sebring)? At the time I had been reading the book I commented on the author’s name of “Bulock or Bullock. It reminded me of the actress “sandra bullock”. I don’t believe it was a book by her. Didn’t think she was an author. Can’t remember how the book ended but I am sure the woman character in the book had resolved her needing to hide out and keeping her son safe. If you can find this book, it will be a miracle. Thanks for all your help.

i am looking for a book that i read a few years ago. it was a book that took place in a dystopian future where people had to pay these government fees and had to make a certain amount of money. Well, this one family fell short on the payment one time. when people are unable to pay, their oldest child is taken away to work for these government facilities in order to make up for the families debt. This family’s oldest child, a boy which i do not remember his name, was taken. i remember that this one woman in particular always went to take the children away, along with body guards in case any violence or resistance occurred. she was the overseer of the building that they took the boy to. the building was separated by floors based on your intelligence level. for example, the basement was the lowest intelligence level and the top floor with the pool and gym was the highest intelligence level. in order to figure out where to put the kids, they had to take a test. the higher the score the more intelligent they were. this boy was put on the highest level where he would work on computers all day coding or hacking some thing i think. the children were not allowed on any other level of the building but their own because they were not supposed to know that there were other kids on different levels. the kids are able to email their families but the find out that the messages never really got through. the boy sets out to uncover all of the secrets that this place is hiding. he escaped the building, but was brought back in and put on a lower level. he meets a girl who helps him in figure out what this place was hiding from them all. he eventually uploads files from i believe the secretary’s computer and shows them to the world. in the end, the kids get to go back to their families. i’m sure that there were some parts that i left out but i’ve tried looking it up and ended up with nothing. i hope someone can help me find this book. thanks!
i believe the cover had a bunch of 1’s and 0’s on it. and i always thought the name was some think like “coded” but nothing really come ups when i search for it. i have no idea who the author is so that makes it even more difficult. but thank you to anyone who can help figure this out!
Hi, I’m looking for a book the I believe I read on Kindle. It was either on Kindle unlimited or prime. It’s about a girl who owns a coffee shop and this guy walks in and I believe his name is king.

Name: ????
Author: ???
Plot: Honestly I don’t know. I read the book maybe 3/4 years ago and I lost it. It’s a mystery book. I remember a little girl crying because her mom died. Also, the majority of the people are rich and live in mansions. Pretty sure it’s about lawyers and detectives trying to solve a murder case, and there’s the main rivalry between two men. The book cover has a night dark blue sky with trees all around, and stars. I think the author is a man. The book cover is similar to Where The Forest Meets the Stars. Like super similar, but not exactly it. Pretty sure the title has the letter M in it either the title or author’s name. Please help, I’ve been searching for days and hours.
Ok, so i also remember a woman was found dead in her mansion, and her husband was a murder suspect. I also remember the main character I think, talking to the dead woman’s child, and having one of his lawyer friends take her in. There’s also a huge trial that happens between the two lawyer rivals. Please I really need help.
