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!

book aboutslavery in deep south America possibly characters names topsy and sambo
The titles was something like Emmet and the ant or Emmets ant , the book cover was a pale olivey green from late '60s early 70s. I've been looking for it for quite a while and its never appeared. Maybe it went out of print or was written in America so as I am in England I cannot find it anywhere. I think the book cover had a smallish picture of a boy and an ant, quite a simple line drawing. I can't quite remember what it was about though... It was one of my favourite childhood books.
Emmets aunt farm?

A girl is contacted by a guy named Atlas one day telling her that she has been accepted to a school in Greece. She moves to Greece to find out that Atlas doesn't represent a school. I think he takes her to Mt. Olympus where there are other people. Everyone there finds out that they have a god or goddess in them. Her roommate who has Zeus tries to get close to her but she keeps refusing that Hera is inside her. At the end she ends up accepting that Hera is in her and accepts the guy who has Zeus in him.
A girl who was mistaken as a dog walker (or whatever that was called) by a guy who owns not a dog but a different kind of animal, through email.

Hey, I read this book last year, my teacher lent it to me and was quite intriguing, starts where a young man is plowing a field. His little sister comes toward him and says that cars are coming and I suppose they lived in the country if they were surprised by cars, and anyway this part gets fuzzy but they are somehow captured and brought to a very modernized city. (This is his mother, two little sisters, and him.) So the leaders of the city are supposedly trying to make a better civilization for the world but managing it horribly. They would surgically attach this white wristband, and if you thought bad thoughts like 'I wish so and so would leave me alone' then the wristband would give you a sharp, painful shock. And for this wristband, there were three pain levels, where one was very painful, two might make you blackout, and three would seriously injure or kill you. And if you kept thinking angry thoughts then they would move you up a level. And this young man, I think he is named Eric, was so rebellious, he wanted to get free from the city, and he kept thinking bad thoughts, like, 'This city is so evil!' and they eventually set him on level three. And I remember a girl, her name MAY have been Anna, I just know it started with an A. I think he was in love with, and he whittled her a chained hawk, like he was the hawk. Also, this girl worked for city leaders. Eventually, Eric found a way to get the wristband off. The cover was blue and It had a white silhouette of a head with circuits and stuff, and I believe it started with an E. And I didn't finish the book because the year ended, so, I would really like it if you knew what it was.

Can anyone tell me the title and/or author of a short series that I remember finding at the library and adoring in my early teens: It was very British. The main character was a little boy who was visiting extended family. I remember it beginning with specifications about being in only undergarments like long-johns still being the equivalent to being naked. His Aunt? and Uncle? invited him out in a horse-drawn cab. While in it they discussed "children should never be seen OR heard...only smelled," and whatever he chose to do in life, he needed to do it fully and passionately. The conversation turned to acting and they told him he MUST be an actor portraying an orphan and COULD NOT give up the act. Because of this, he (unintentionally) convinces someone else who gets a ride with them that he was an actual orphan. From there, he's taken to an orphanage and goes on some wild adventures. I also remember the quote, "watering the goat," with a simple illustration of a goat with wide eyes, staring startled out at nothing as a watering can is held above his back and water is poured out on him. I've attempted Googling the plot, the portions I've listed here, and even searching images for a match to the "goat" scene, but I've had no luck and I've been trying to find it for years.
I immediately found it after posting here! I entered, "Authors similar to Lemony Snicket," and the name Philip Ardagh came up. When selecting this author the series (the one I was looking for for YEARS!) popped up immediately! It's the Eddie Dickens Trilogy.

Please help to find this novel to be able to reread it again
Non fiction "Happiness" in title, possibly: "The (something) of Happiness" (not B. Russell's "The Conquest..."). More a philosophical/cultural investigation rather than a self help. Early on it discusses, critically, government attempts at measuring citizens wellbeing by a (fairly) recent "happiness survey" (UK - Cameron?). Might be wrong but I think the paperback had a drawn clown picture on a light green background. Ta

Looking for a non fiction book published in 2017 and think the authors first name is Avery. The subject is how we expect too much from our police. The author talks about how policing has changed in the last 40 years and we now expect them to do too much. I think the title was 4 words. The Reduction? Of Police or Policing? Someone recently interviewed the author and I’d like read his book.
The cover is white with red and/or black writing it’s about grief, losing someone and moving on. I had the book and lost it but can’t remember the name I have a picture of a paragraph from the book but when I search into google it doesn’t come up anything.
But the truth is, you'll never move on. Not really. There will be some days when you can think of them with a smile and other days when they won't even cross your mind. will even feel normal again. But then there will be a day when a certain song comes on the radio, or you smell a stranger with a familiar perfume, and you'll lose control. Your tears will Turn into wails and the pain will be just as vivid as it was when it was fresh. That’s a paragraph from it.
The book is from 80s/early 90s. It’s about serendipity. (It’s not from the serendipity series from the 70s) it’s about a girl looking for one thing and finds other things she didn’t realize she wanted/needed.
I think the cover is blue and a 1 or 2 word title.
I'm also pretty sure it's a dark romance.

She sees him in the woods later and follows him then he accidentally reveals the faeries and tells her how all the older faeries were captured by humans and taken to iron prisons?

It's about a girl. Her grandfather is dying. Her mother takes her to his home. It's an eerie place on water and after the grandfather passes weird things begin to happen. She hears sounds and lights in the dark. Sometimes she is scared but is realizing it's a place she feels comfortable.
It's actually a good read. My first best novel in my childhood. I can't recall the author, title, lines nor even characters. The front and back cover was torn out. But i can remember that a young teenager came to stay in either her father's house after her mother passed on. Then her step mother was nice to her. Gave her a room. She had a step brother who was really rude towards her. But beautiful part was his sister was dump, had a sign language book to interpret stuffs to her. She went out on a boat with him. I think later they fell in love.
A book about animals. Title something like odd or strange animals you never knew or such. A man rented a camel &
when he saw how the camel's reins were in its nose he removed them and
put the reins around the camel's neck as one does to a horse. Camel loved man so when man got very sick & fell from camel it stayed until the man could ride camel to destination.

The concept of the book was of a man i believe from England uk telling of his travels through Wales uk. One of the stories i can remember was of him traveling to Bala north wales as he was told he must see Bala Lake on his travels whilst driving at night he picked up a person traveling on foot in his direction to Bala when he arrived at his destination and turned to the passenger the person was no longer there he had vanished/ disappeared. The traveller driving his car went into the local pub in Bala and was telling the publican of his experience; whilst telling his experience a person from the corner of the pub came over and stated that it would have been impossible that the driver had seen the person he picked up as the stranger in the card was the son of the person whom was sat in the corner of the pub; he told the driver that his son had died many years ago; my son asked one day if he could goto a fair that was was in a neighbouring village the father told the son NO; how ever the son snuck out of the home and whilst travelling to the fair on his bike he was going down the road to the next village and a large bolder/Rock loosened from the hill side and killed son. Can anyone help me remember the book and author.

I’m looking for a romantic mystery of a woman who lives in FL with her abusive husband. She is an artist and crafts garden and yard items like butterflies or dragonflies. She flees her husband going as far as Arizona where she is befriended by folks in Bisbee. After some time she’s starts creating her art work. Her husband sees her art work in a magazine and travels to AZ to find her.
I am trying to find a book but searching for it is hard. I tried Google but otherwise I don't know what to do because I can't look based on details rather than broad plot descriptions and title or author. I know it was realistic fiction set in the 'present', but that could be anything from the 80s to 2000s (I'm in high school now). Definitely a juvenile chapter book, the main character is a girl in a two parent household, and it's in third person pov. I know that's not much to go off of, I'm really just trying to figure out this: Which children's book character used to have a cat, but her dad (I think?) was allergic, so she gave it to her friend and they ran it over? I think this occured before the story? I want to say there was something about the cat being flat as a pancake.
It was a children's/picture book about a mother and child that squeeze hands and say "Click" to take a mental picture of something they are doing together. I read it to my son when he was about 4 or 5. I would love to know the author and where I could purchase a copy. I thought the name of it was Click, but I cannot find a children's book with this plotline and this title. Any information would be appreciated. Thanks

The book cover was like a ocean and it was bright blue and the pages looked like it was like sand paper. Thank you

Hi, looking for the title of this book I read many, many years ago. I think the girls name is Rosalie who is an only child of a rich man I think they live on the Mediterranean. A her fathers friend, who they don't know was an nazi, murders her father and everyman who Rosalie either falls in love with or marries. The story spans over Europe and America. For some reason, I recall a description of mansion she lived in as a girl has evil looking gargoyles in the courtyard. I'm thinking this book would have been written and published in the 70's
Mainly white book, with words for title. The main character was blunt. I think his wife/gf cheated on him and he found someone new. Or he was having an afair. It’s been a long time. There was also a lot of cursing
fiction, male author, about 2 years ago, orphans escape orphanage, go down river on a raft, have to hide often, meet a lot of people on the way.
I stumbled upon this worn out book with missing cover and some pages missing as well.The story is about a married woman who though affectionate to her husband is not in love with him. She meets an artist and she is infatuated with him. They plan a night out together but got involved in a car crash and their affair is discovered whereupon the heartbroken husband granted her separation and to her dismay the feelings she had had with the artist evaporates and that she is actually falling for her enstranged husband. I think her name was Julia mckenzie?

Book about a woman decorating the home for an ex boyfriends mother
I'm looking for a book I read maybe three years ago, about a woman who travels to find a man she haven't seen for years. I believe it is her childhood crush or something like that. She tracks him down and finds out he is on some tropical island so she flies there to "bump into" him. On the way she meets another guy, I believe he is a travel photographer or journalist. They keep bumping into each other, I think they live at the same hotel. He finds out what she is doing there, he sees her with binoculars on the beach, looking for her crush. At some point they walk across the island through a forest together and he helps her out.
The book is about this older guy who falls for a younger girl who comes to town, she is 17 years old. he decides to wait for her to grow older and courts her while she has a jealous step sister. At the end of the first novel the step sister sends someone to rape her sister and the guy rushes to the hospital.
I read this "kids" book back in 1987/1988ish. I can only remember one character that was featured on the cover of the book. He had a set of "glasses" on the back of his head and would only walk backwards [I think it was so no one could sneak up on him from behind] I don't remember the storyline or anything else, just him. I think a couple of kids were involved and may have initially met him in a board room meeting? Not 100% sure. I think they meet the guy [professor/good guy spy] about halfway through the book. He may have had a strange, maybe long last name, possibly starting with the letter S? I'll know the book for sure once I see the cover. Any help is greatly appreciated.
a book from the 70's, large print, yellow dust cover. story of a girl who was betrothed to a prince that she had never met, but ran into an artist in the woods painting and fell in love with him only to find out he was the prince she was to marry
Hello! I am looking for a book I read a long time ago...I think the cover was red and black. It’s about a group of students getting out of school for a field trip on the other side of town and they had to stay in a cabin in the woods and when they stay there almost every one or two days one person from there group ends up getting killed and everyone in the group starts to get suspicious and they come up with that someone in there group is killing them and they have to find out who. Something I can vividly remember is that they find someone from there group one day I believe next to a river and he is just laying there with blood on his head and there with him is a rock with blood and they say he probably tripped on it.Also I think they didn’t have a lot of supplies because there bus broke down I think and that’s why they had to stay in a cabin..? That’s mostly what I can remember! Thank you!
Hi! I’m looking for a book I read in the early 1980’s. I remember it was set in part in Bangladesh, involved two boys who were friends and also rivals, especially at the kite festival. There may have been monkey gods and masks. I don’t remember and author, title, or cover details.
That sounds like The Kite Runner.
Hi! I started this book of short stories and I cannot remember who the author is or what the title of the book is the first short story started off with a group of young adults fleeing the country on a plane with a baby and it involved psychedelics. The mom was breast-feeding the child when she unknowingly ate the psychedelic her partner gave her. I didn’t finish the specific short story so that’s all I have. If anyone has any idea or information I would be so grateful!!
I owned a book that was very unusual if anyone knows what I'm talking about please let me know. This book was a hardback and the only thing on the cover was a small Christmas tree and that's it. When you open the book it was printed upside down. The book is basically about extraterrestrial life form. I'm not into alien conspiracy but I did find the book to be a very unusual and unique find. I've done many searches and haven't found anything close to what Ive described. If you have any info on this or have at least heard of it please let me know. Any feedback is greatly appreciated.
Maybe you had the cover on upside down? I know with hardcover books you can have the coat of the book on the wrong way and it seams like the book inside is the wrong way up but if you turn the coat around it’s all ok.
Hello! I've been looking for a book lately, but unfortunately I can only remember the front and the back cover of it. The front cover depicted a village with quite bizarre creatures, like headless chickens, bagpipes that could walk, and other weird stuff like that. The back cover had a princess who was wearing an absurdly tall and pointy princess hat. I can't recall anything regarding the plot, as it looked too scary a book for a young child to read. If anyone recognizes this book, I'd be more than thankful to know about it.
Thank you

Trying to find a kids book I read several years ago. It was a two part series, the cover of the first book was mostly red-orange, and the second blue-black. It took place on Mars, with kids. I think they were being trained for a war with aliens who wanted to live on earth. The kids are all pretty young. The main character has a famous mom. There’s a robot, and I think it’s a goldfish?? They also meet an alien kid, and work everything out and stop the war. The alien kid uses they/them pronouns. The aliens can also turn invisible, and show their emotions through turning different colors. Does anyone know this book??
I think Mars was in the title of the first book, although I’m not sure. Also, the earth is being frozen by the aliens, because they lived with colder temperatures. I think the adults disappeared at some point, and they went to go look for them?
I am trying to find a book I read SOOO long ago. It was about a group of girls where one day they each get a envelope with a token inside. Each token has a animal on it. The next day they take all of them to their secret shed and find a portal leading to a magical forest. I NEED TO FIND THIS BOOK!! I can' t remember if it was a book or a dream
I can hardly remember the books but they're a series similar to the poison apple book series, I think the name has something to do with curse or apple and they were types of spinoffs of Disney princess tales (sleeping beauty, snow white etc.)
was it Land of Stories
So, a friend of mine really liked the plot of a book but she doesn't know the title and the author. It was about one music producer who falls in love with one of his singers, but she doesn't reply with the same feelings, rather she is a more free and open-minded person who is interested in different men. One day she becomes sick and the producer believes that she is blind so he decides to make her pay by making her to sing in auditorium with special effects (negative response from public) but appears that she is not blind and sees everything and dies.
It will be helpful if someone knows anything

so there is this book that i used to have on my kindle that i read almost every other month that i completely lost track of when i lost the kindle membership. It is about this girl that was abandoned as a baby and this boy took her in (now they're basically siblings). anyway, its in this world where the classes are so drastic that you either live in the heart of the city, or you live outside the wall, in what are basically freight containers. she's a messenger, sending mail and stuff, but we find out that she can manipulate time. in her mind, its like a river of strings that she holds on to and pulls to slow them down. i know that she goes on this mission with this guy to find some other people who can save them from something.... but i know that at the end she finds out she is the daughter of time and the guy that came with her was actually assigned to take care of her and then he dies because all his past injuries that healed super quick come back and kill him. the title is "Th___ ___ _ of __ and stones" and the cover is this girl in classic dystopian-adventurer outfit with a messenger bag and everything and she walking in a stone alleyway, kind of? also, i know that there is a second book called infinity or something similar. Help!
The Gate of thread and stone?
the second book is called the infinite its by Lori M Lee 🙂
Years ago I was reading a paperback book about 3 friends who came to know Jesus as Savior. I believe the setting was in the Netherlands, possibly within the last 25 years. They were very rough and tumble characters, with the main character going to jail for robbery. Their lives intersected with Floyd McClung of YWAM . They spend time on the Ark, a boat docked in the Netherlands. Eventually most of their whole families came to faith in Jesus.
Thqank you so much
So, I had picked a book I found in my cousins car, and started reading it out of boredom, and I got really into it, but of course, I can’t remember what the title was or like anything really useful. I do remember, however, that (I think) there was this girl who couldn’t like love anyone or either like make love to anyone..i am not sure..but she couldn’t do it because if she did they would like die or be poisoned by her touch, or something like that-idk I kinda just read random pages sometimes out of boredom...the cover had like an eye on it, and the rest of it was gray, I think there was like a forest in the eye, or maybe it was like something to do with love, idk. But there was also like black stuff dripping from her eye, and idk. I just wanna read the book so badly, but I can’t remember. I hope I can find it! Bye!
Oh! Actually, I think the title started with a “S” and I think it was like “Shattered” or something, but I’m not sure...
I’m looking for a book I read as a child.
It was a hardback and the cover was sort of metallic green with a young boy and possibly a dragon on the front.
It starts with the boy going to a pet shop to buy a tropical fish after saving and saving for it, but for some reason he ends up buying a different animal (could be a dog but can’t remember fully). Then I remember that the dog/whatever somehow leads him into a alternative reality or something, and I’m pretty sure his mum who is sick is trapped in the alternate world/reality.. it could be some sort of portal fantasy but I can’t quite remember. There is a sequel as well and I remember having a paper back version of it with a navy blue cover but that is all I can remember as I don’t think I read it.
I read this book a long time ago and only remember one part of it that's kind of hazy so here goes sorry if I don't make much sense. The main character was a female and the part I remember was the main character and a boy were on top of a train (trying to get in I think. Some kind of fight perhaps?) And the boy is a species of shapeshifter called a chameleon. I believe he turned into a dragon/lizard creature. I'm pretty sure it's a series and that this book isnt the first. They were running from someone/thing if I remember correctly. Earlier on in the books there might have been a scene in an old town with alchemy symbols on the walls as some kind of clue but I might just be remembering a different book. If I'm right there was more people part of the team then just the boy and the girl but they weren't in the scene. If anyone can help that would be great thank you
I read a really interesting book that I absolutely loved, however I can’t remember the total or author. Please if you can help me out 🙂
An Irish family, they went to church every weekend, and the two sisters went to a town ball, one sister fell in love with a fella but her father didn’t approve of him. Her father and brother went out one evening and beat him, telling him to stay away from their daughter. The father locked his daughter up in her room and wouldn’t let her out, although mum didn’t agree with it she was to afraid to say anything to the father. Her sister helped her and got in contact with the young boy, arranged for them to meet at midnight and to run away and never come back, so they took the horse one night and caught the ferry to England where she found a sick woman and looked after her, they swapped names and she gave birth to the child. The fella was living rough cause he couldn’t get a job, then he got a job working on a barge that a horse pulled, he eventually went back for her once he had some stability but was told she had had a baby so he was to afraid to contact her thinking she had moved on.
Sorry it isn’t the best description but I have forgotten some of the minor details.

Found the book in the first try
There was a short story I read in a collection back in the nineties. A man is given a mystical word by a friend, that when used, makes things work to the benefit of the one using the word. He uses it a few times and has several things work out really well for him. Then his friend informs him that the word is the property of a shadowy organization his friend is a member of and that he wasn't supposed to give out the word. The man promises not to use it again.
Time passes and the man succumbs to temptation and uses the word one more time, and then gets contacted by his friend right before the friend is killed as punishment. The man then goes on a wild chase, hunted by the organization, trying to stay one step ahead by repeatedly using the word.
Has anyone else read this story? Hopefully someone out there remembers it and knows the author and title, and maybe the title of the collection it appeared in.
Great article, thank you so much for sharing

Fiction and modern (within last 20 years). I probably purchased paperback from Exclusive Books. Possibly dark green/grey cover. Story line relates to man who lives/behaves as tramp in slumland (possible ex drug addict) - He protects vulnerable against thugs / drug pushers / land lords - operates alone and generally without weapons - Eventually brings down "Mr Big Crime" who drives a fancy car. Title might be something like "unforgiven" or "forgotten". Might have been UK based plot. Any Ideas on Author/Title.
I have found it - Author is Gerald Seymour and book title is "RAT RUN". Well I was way out on the title! I will read again and then decide if the the long search to rediscover it was worthwhile.
The story was about two or three young ones was left at home, it as about how a spot of dirt was cleaned and passed to another spot. They had to clean it then it was on something else. I remember it was vacuumed and it wound up on the outside to snow. It's a cute story but I don't remember if it was a Dr. Seuss book or what. Can you help? Thank you
Looking to identify a book about former SAS operatives investigating the suicide of a girl in London who was the daughter of wealthy parents and had become a drug addict and forced into performing sex acts on web cam by the chetchen mafia
Oh wow. Ok I’ve read this book two or three times and I’ve never forgotten then name of it until now, when I want to read it again of course. It has a dark blue cover, set in the night and has a full moon with a tree and a dragons silhouette I’m pretty sure. I think the title had the word “enchanted” or something like that in it. I know it started with a “the”. It’s about a girl and her dad is a dragon, I think he was the king but the people overtook him and put him in a cave. He has control over an enchanted forest and he wants to get his daughter back. I think the first few sentences of the book was “the trees are growing in faster this year” or something because the trees come in every year. The forest calls out the girls name and lures her in. I think every year at least one girl is lured in and never heard from again, probably dead. There was this woman in the forest who didn’t have a face, or a face of sun, and she sat on a log and knitted. Her job was to lure the girl in farther. That’s all I remember so far except that she fell in love in the middle of the book I think but later dumped him for her father. I’m pretty sure she was in love with the prince. I don’t know. Please please please find it if u can. I am going crazy!
I read this book last year some time and I loved it but I’ve been trying to find it for 2 months now with no luck. This is what I remember if someone could help that would be awesome. There was this girl when she was 11 or 12 these warrior people came to her small village in the mountains. They offered a reward her anyone willing to come and train to be a warrior and to be connected to a daemon (I think that is was they are called. They look like humans but they hate fire) this girls family need the money so she stepped forward. They had to go to a tent to see if they could pass the test and they had to put on a gold cuff and the other person did to and see if they could feel what they feel. She had the gift so she left and trained till she was 17 then she would to binded to a daemon boy her age. She has a friend named issac. Her sister died to a rouge daemon on the mountain where she grew up. They fight these people and issac warrior partner dies but he was in love with him. They go to see the king and issac betrays them. She gets put in a dungeon in the castle and issac cuts off her hand to get the cuff that links her to her friend so they can torture him. Then the kings warrior partner ends up being her friends mom and helps her and her friend escape. Then her friends father who is named viktor helps them and they go on the run. ( that’s all I can remember if anyone can get anything out of that. I would be very greatful)
I have no idea but it sounds really good I had a book a little like this I think it was called princess but it was a series

Choose author or title if you have a specific book in mind and you know either the authors name or the title of the book (e.g. you are searching for the book The Da Vinci Code ).
The first place I "look" for an lost book from memory is librarian at the local library. It is amazing the amount of knowledge these ladies (or gentlemen) have in their brain. Many have photogenic memories so you can get relatively close and they can find it! If you have online access to your library, that is the place to check first. Old books usually stay in libraries but may become archived or moved to digital only per damage to book.
that is fine, but the librarians i knew are all dead and gone. it was almost 40 yr ago i read the book i am in search of.
Great information. Maybe I can help my son find that book he is looking for.
What about when you've read an excerpt in the back of an e-book and you can't remember the name of the book you were reading? I've been looking for a mail order bride book that has a bride in a wheel chair and the sheriff marries her.
If you remember it fully or part of it, you could always type it into Google and see what pops up. Most of the time, that works for me. You could start off with Book Quote.... that might narrow it down
The problem is that I only remember the excerpt at the back of the e-book, I don't think the book I was reading was to good, because I can't remember any of it. I know the excerpt was a story about several mail order brides coming to town and one was in a wheel chair.
