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!

But this particular book focused on werewolves. So, the female character is human, fat (as described in the book) with red hair. There’s a boarding school for human girls to study before they get married off by werewolves or so. She intentionally did poorly in school to avoid getting married off. I remember she had a smart mouth. Her plans weren’t successful because an alpha still came to marry her. He has a sister and a brother, which were also Alphas.

i’m trying to find the title of a book , Christian book , about 5 people in a boat adrift – different ages , The people start to suddendly disappear one by one until only one other person and the little girl are left . which one was Jesus
I don’t remember the name of this book. I remember three scenes from the book though.
So the first scene. The main evil girl (I will call her mg1 since I can’t remember her name for main girl 1) had just invaded a peacfull village. She was supposed to kill one of the local residents to ensure compliance but she had a quarrel with one of her captains. So she hog tied the captain then put him over an open fire, letting him slowly cook alive as the fire slowly burned through his stomach. I remember quite clear how she was talking to the people while he screamed in the background, his fat dripping from the open wound in his stomach until he died.
The next scene is the main male character and mg1 (I will call him mm1 for main male 1) mm1 was imprisoned or a captive of mg1 and tried escaping. Grabbing her baton that people in her position carried. This baton caused pain instantly just by touching it. What he didn’t know when he grabbed the baton is even the wielder felt pain the whole time as well. So he ended up dropping the baton because he couldn’t handle it. I know he eventually escapes though. Because…
Scene three.
Mm1 barely manages to make it home to his wife. (I think there was a servant of some kind but not sure) At one point his wife sees mg1 approach and cast some complex spell on mm1’s wife. Mm1 tries to stop it by hitting mg1 with the baton but mm1’s wife collapsed as if she felt all the pain. Mg1 explains that the spell makes mm1’s wife feel everything mg1 feels. Pain pleasure or otherwise. Mm1 knows he must comply for now. Mg1 tells mm1 that they have to travel together and he has to pretend to be mg1’s spouse or she will kill mm1’s wife. But that is all I remember. I also remember it being a series.

Help! I can’t remember title or author of book I read in the 1970s or ’80s. It was fiction. The plot was about an Allied soldier, who almost drowned while landing on Normandy Beach during WW II.

The Frenchman had always been unkind and inattentive to his wife but was heroic in efforts to save soldier and showed great kindness and attention to him. He seemed to have found his purpose in saving this soldier. I can’t recall the ending or any names but will always remember the difference in how he treated his wife versus the stranger/soldier.

I had a book that my mother gave me which was lost. I have purchased 4 other copies and given them to family members as gifts, which they also have lost. It’s a collection of stories meant for older kids by the story line and contents. Beautiful color plates that have a foreign flavor. I remember a beautiful snow-white bull from one of the plates. The book was the size of a standard history book you would find in a grade school setting. I did some work for a woman in a high-end home and the book I’m speaking of was on a pedestal in her living room with a spotlight above it. The book was probably published in the beginning of the 20th century. Please help, someone must know of this work. I don’t have much time left.

My son thinks the book might have been
“To kill a Mockingbird”.
I’m not so sure, but I believe it was a popular old classic..?!
It was a pretty old book, I’m thinking maybe written in the 1930’s?!
It was a paperback book, not very thick,
Maybe a light matte gray color,
easy to read but kinda boring.
That’s why we don’t remember a lot about it. Seems like it was written on an old typewriter.
I remember a lot of cussing in the book.
My son remembers the word nigger being used a lot.
Would really like to remember the title so I can know for sure whether or not we read
“To Kill a Mockingbird”.
Thank you

I’m looking for a book I bought at the Dollar Tree around 2017 – 2018. It’s got a light blue dust jacket or cover. I remember an owl design maybe . The book was about an older lady who was suffering from dimentia or memory loss that was just starting. Her son hired a caregiver to come in and live with her. The old woman was suspicious of the caregiver and I remember her accusing her of stealing a box of postcards , sea shells , or something similar. The caregiver had dug a hole out by the beach behind the house and put her in it to see if she was able to climb out. I think she was planning to leave her for dead. She took the woman’s savings, but i believe her boyfriend was behind it , because she felt bad. After she took the old gals money, I can’t remember if she actually left her in the hole, or what, but she felt so guilty, she waded out into the sea to drown herself.

Years ago, while working as a teacher at a camp in Maine, I came across a novel which was Victorian in style. It was about two senior women who found themselves stranded on an island after their ship sunk. They encountered a strange group of residents living there. The residents were helpful. All I can remember is that it was one of the most hilarious books I’d ever read, causing my to laugh out loud at the personalities and antics of the residents. One particular instance was when a cart in which they were riding lost control and they went barreling along a path only to overturn and send everyone sprawling. I wish I could re-read this novel, which I found in 1981.
