a book with magic system of pulling things out of other books i remember reading a book about magicians who could pull fictional things out of books like a laser gun or a magical sword. you could only pull out non living things though because any living creature would go insane upon learning their whole existence was a lie.

Children's book with an annoying obese girl that kept trying to trade her healthy food for other kid's lunch. Title pretty much says it all. There was an obese girl that was very annoying to the narrator. She would go to them every lunch and try and trade her soup and carrot sticks for whatever the other children had for lunch.

Young adult fiction book, main character s favorite band was The Jesus and Mary Chain . Read this book in the 2000 s. Would have got from my local library or friend. Most likely similar to a John Green kind of book in genre.

Sci Fy Detective Novel series I can't remember a lot of the plot points but it feels like it's on the tip of my tongue whenever I think about it, I just remember the main character being a detective of sorts on a space station that has a bunch of different species on it including humans, he might be a bit telepathic but I can't remember if that's him or another character. I also remember the covers having a space station with spaceships that looked vaguely insect like.

Historical Romance fMC is assaulted amp thrown out of the house when her father finds out she s pregnant I read these books between 1998 and 2002. I was a teenager and remember thinking I shouldn t be reading them. Probably obtained from the library by my mother but it s possible she bought them. They disappeared when she realised I d been reading them. Historical Romance or historical fiction. Set in England, possibly in the Black Country as I remember references to coal mining. The main characters were not members of the upper class, more likely working class people (possibly just the heroine?). I think they were likely set in the 1700 or 1800 s. In one book, the female main character is raped and thrown out of the house when she discovers she s pregnant. I m fairly sure she was a coal miner s daughter as I remember slag heaps being mentioned. She walks for days and almost gets frozen in a ditch. At some point, she finds her way to the house of the man who raped her and she watches him having sex with another man in his house. He doesn t know she s there or that she saw him. He is not the male main character. Rape, or attempted rape, was a theme in several of the books by this author. It was explicit. Written in English. I think hardback and a good length novel, not a short book. I might be mixing up details from several books by the same author as it s been so long since I read them.

Children s book about the months being people May is a little girl meeting them? Ok so all the months are people, and the month of April has a daughter who is May . May runs away and meets all the other months in chronological order, and learns what each month does. If I remember correctly the month of December is actually her dad? She finishes meeting them and makes it back to April (her mother) before falling sleep in a hammock under a tree. I remember specifically the month of Aunt June who shows her how to garden make food from the earth. All the months are Aunt June Uncle July I read this when I was younger, 15 years ago?

Looking for monster picture book My girlfriend told me about a picture book she read as a kid and I m trying to find it for her. She doesn t remember the title or author. Every page was an illustration of a negative personality trait that had been personified into a monster. For example, there was a vanity monster, a narcissism monster, and a hoarding monster. Each monster would have a blurb talking about it. If that sounds familiar please let me know, Thank you

Book about a teenage ghost trying to figure out his murderer I once read a Wikipedia article about this book and I'd like to read now but unfortunately I forgot the title of the book and forgot to write it down The book I'm looking for is about a teenage boy that died and with the help of another girl is trying to find out who murdered him. I remember that this book is supposed to be a comedy drama or something like that. I also remember that there's either a movie or TV show about this book and I think that the TV show or movie is from England Does someone know the title of this book ? amp x200B Thanks in advance

YA(?) Book where teens learn to be criminals in a school and the top students are called wolves The book is about a teenager who gets picked up in a van one day and gets offered to go to a school to learn how to be a functioning criminal. At the school they have a ranking system where the children who are doing the worst at the school get killed instead of being expelled. The students are the top Students are called Wolves. Also the kids learn about sociopaths and psychopaths, to help them Become criminals. I read this book back in high school around 2014 2015 . It had a blue and yellow cover. I think this book was a single book and is not part of a series but that could have changed since it s been a while.

Girl get's tortured in a barn by three masked men, put on a horse and then set on fire Sorry for a bit dramatic detail but this is one thing i remember the most. At the end of the scene she was hit by a car and exploded in fire. So this book was thriller horror It was about a woman who chased three (i think it was three) men in masks who were torturing and killing people in horrendous manner. I remember that at the end of the book everything went crazy, everything was set on fire and main character was running away or maybe chasing them and it turned out they were demons or something. amp x200B My mom brought it from somewhere and it was my first horror book and i really liked it, i hope someone can help me.

Book about son of late pop star who starts band with plastic flute and drum, read ca 1994 I am looking for the title of this book about the son of a late pop star, who gets the offer to become successor of his father with help of digital production assistance (what you'd call autotune today) he refuses and instead starts playing a cheap plastic flute in a park. soon a guy with a drum joins and start jamming with him, they eventually draw attention and a live audience and even recording industry, resulting with 2 pro musicians (keyboarder andanother one) joining them on behalf the record company. This book has massively influenced me as a hobby musician, i'd love to read it again.

Searching for specific Ghost Stories I read in 1984 When I was about 9 (mid 1980s) I read a number of books about ghosts (stories that were apparently true ). There are two specific stories that terrified me, and have stuck with me years later and that I can t find any reference to online. Can anyone help? The first was titled something like The Haunting of 3245 Cropley place (though that address isn t correct, but the title definitely had an address in it and I m pretty sure had the street number). The book had a drawing that looked like a fancy London terrace with iron railings at the start of the chapter, so I m fairly certain the story was from the U.K. A teenage girl moves in with her aunt(?) and stays in a room (maybe a basement room) where a female ghost leans over her bed at night. Possibly the ghost had either black or fiery eyes. Years later the girl (or maybe it is her daughter) returns, and on the morning of her wedding (I think) is getting ready in the haunted room and when she s looking in the mirror she sees the ghost reflected behind her. The story terrified me and I always think of it when looking in the mirror in a hotel room etc. This second one had some etchings illustrating the story and they were really creepy. A little girl and maybe her toddler brother were playing in their house, maybe in a conservatory, and she can see a female ghost who is black in colour and who keeps scratching at her throat. No one else can see her and the ghost is extremely malevolent and wants to hurt the toddler?? Similar to the Woman in Black?? The ghost keep appearing when the children are alone and may have hung strangled herself which is why she was neck obsessed! There seemed to be a lot of ghost books aimed at older children at this time, with maps of haunted villages, and drawing photos of various locations. There doesn t seem to be many like this now available. The school library was full of them. I have the reissued Usbourne ghost book but neither of these stories are in that, and most of the books I remember had black and white drawings. I d love to find the books with the stories above, given they were so frightening to me at the time. Do either of these stories sound familiar?

Adult supernatural romance book about a woman who can use magic and has a spider tattooed on her that can move around her body and kill people TW mentions sexual assault So I've tried every search I can think of but unfortunately if you put in "woman" and "spider" together regardless of all the other words google thinks its the girl with the dragon tattoo sequel or whatever but it's not. Its a supernatural romance erotica book thats easily 10 years old, I read it in high school (graduated 2012) but it is definitely an adult book. The details are a bit hazy but she practices magic or witchcraft of some kind and calls her different trinkets and things "fetishes". And she can cast and see things in this other world. There's a shadow demon realm world that she can go in and out of and she has a spider tattooed on her arm but the spider moves around. In one scene she is attacked and is almost rap3d but the spider moves to protect her and the guys p3nis is like shriveled up or destroyed and she gets away. The cover shows a woman in a long dress and I think the whole color pallet was like dark with bluish tones and you can see the spider on her arm and behind her I think is their representation of like the shadow world i guess. Its the second or third book in a series if im remembering correctly. The publisher had to be like Kensington or avon i think because i swear it had that swooshy looking "K" on the spine, but I could be mistaken. I'm really struggling to remember it. Thanks in advance!

Blind guy falls in love by only hearing her voice I'm not even sure that is a full book, could be a short story, maybe in a collection. There's this guy who falls in love by only hearing her voice, and the other thing I rembember is that the story ends with him having an eye surgery, and she, while in the waiting room, starts having doubts about if he would still love her once he will be able too see, so after a long inner monologue, she decides to run away before the surgery is complete, and they never see each other again It's not a book that I've read, but that I "listened to", our teacher was reading the ending in class to us, we were doing end of XIX, beginning of XX century authors It is almost surely an Italian author

Vampire Regency Victorian Erotica Romance Okay it was this book where I believe the girls father sells her to the lord of the castle who turns out to be a vampire. He drinks a little bit of her blood every night but a little becomes a bit more. Either way they start to fall in love and he tries to send her away. Minor detail but I remember that she always reminded the vampire lord of the sun and so he never wanted to turn her into a vampire. I think he could turn into a wolf and he would drink sheep blood and had sheep on the estate? I believe they part ways but get back together and either way they end up having sex in a carriage at one point. It s very quick. But then it gets to a point where he doesn t want to be a vampire anymore and I thiiink he has to kill the vampire that turned him. Either way he becomes human in the end and in the epilogue he has a child with the girl. I ve been trying so hard to find this book for years. Got it at a thrift store and lost it and haven t stopped thinking about it. It was a single novel, I don t believe it was part of a series.

There's a numbered list of aliens based on power levels. At one point the main character either goes to the elephant home world, or has memories of the elephants. Set in mid 2000s.

Woman with Many Pets Autobiography or Fiction I read this book when I was a kid. I think that the title had a number in it, like 500 pets or 250 animal zoo or something. I think it was an autobiography but it may have been fiction. Either way it was written in the first person. It was a chapter book and I THINK the paperback cover MIGHT have been yellow. The narrator was a woman with a lot of pets. She definitely had a husband but I think she may have had kids too. I specifically recall that she had to keep her cats in the garage as partially outdoor cats because her husband was allergic. One of the cats, the ugly one, got into a fight and had to be put to sleep. I remember that the narrator said something like I wanted to say, wait, Stop! I ve changed my mind! and it has stuck with me for years. I think she had birds too, but I can t remember all of the animals she had.

Young Adult Fiction set in the 1950 s or 60 s. Young teenage girl befriends a Pennsylvania Dutch girl, she may have been Mennonite or Amish as well. Story is set in a town where there is a large Pennsylvanian Dutch presence and influence. I found this book on a free table at my high school library in 2000, they were purging old books so I grabbed this. It was a paperback and quite old in 2000. It was not particularly long, maybe a couple hundred pages. I can t remember too many plot points. The Pennsylvania Dutch setting made the biggest impact. Halloween was big event in the book, the main character and her friends may have played a trick on the Pennsylvania Dutch girl that night. She was an outsider and lived differently than the other girls, which is why I m thinking she have been Mennonite or Amish. The book detailed a lot of traditions of the area, like cider donuts in the fall and other foods. The girls may have been middle school age or early high school. The general moral of the book was about making friends that are different from you and not judging others for their differences. There may have also been a situation at the end of the book where the outsider saves the day and shows her differences are a good thing.

Junior chapter book. Fantasy book about a village of tiny characters. Everything started with an O or another letter, not sure. Fiction fantasy book, I read it in grade 4 or 5 in 1997 1998 but the book was possibly from the 70s 80s. I read this book as part of a chapter book study I believe, and I live in Canada. It had small illustrations of the characters, they might have been bearded? I remember the name of the species started with the letter O and all of the words they said or stuff they did also started with that letter. It may not have been O , but there was something about everything starting with a certain letter or being a certain colour. It was a short chapter book I believe. Please help me this has been bothering me for years! I remember I loved this book and I would love to read it again and share it with my children.

British fiction, early mid 20th century assumed Orwell but evidently not a wife's suspicion of her husband's infidelity is confirmed when he writes back from his "sales trip" detailing how scenic Wigan Pier and the surrounding beach is. Read this early 2000s, same time as I was working my way through Orwell's obvious ones I think because of this, I always assumed this scenario was part of The Road To Wigan Pier. Reading up on that book now, this assumption seems widely off the mark! I have a vague recollection of this maybe being a short story perhaps. I think set first half of the 20th century, hence the letter writing and lack of knowledge regarding the true nature of Wigan Pier (spoiler it's not as picturesque as the antagonist was making it out to be).

Book about alien hive mind that takes over earth This is a book probably for 12 15 year olds about a world that has been taken over by an alien hive mind. The protaganist is a 14 year old ish boy who starts out on his own surviving in the sewers but eventually joins up with a few other kids. I think that the rest of humanity is still alive but just enslaved. The cover I rememeber was a white background with a large red alien structure in the middle. Thanks

Fantasy book about brothers trying to defeat a wizard and his wife I read this book at least 5 years ago. So the book follows the younger of two brother, probably some kind of royalty. They practice swordfighting with each other, and the younger always wins because the older has an odd habit of calling his attacks. The older ends up betrothed to a beautiful young woman, and she is accompanied by her elderly father. The younger brother is suspicious of him and tries to investigate. Eventually a show is put on for them by two performers the protagonist assumes are male, but are actually sisters similar to the brothers in age. The show revolves around knives, maybe juggling them. The sisters try to kill the elderly wizard by throwing knives at him, but the protagonist instinctively saves him despite his suspicions. It is revealed that the older brother's betrothed was actually the wizard's equally elderly wife, using some kind of appearance changing magic, and they're evil and trying to take over. The brothers team up with the knife throwing sisters against the two to keep them from taking over. The older brother at one point drives back the wizard at swordpoint, overpowering him despite calling his attacks. The wizard then uses a cursed sword to control his mind, and the older brother uses the cursed sword to swordfight the younger brother. Eventually the wizard and his wife are defeated, and the brothers fall in love with the sisters. Each matches up with their counterpart, younger brother with younger sister and older brother with older sister. This one's been driving me crazy because of how I remember so many details, but nothing to help me find it. I've posted this before.

Fantasy, it s about siblings, boy and girl. They find a orb or something magical that can stop time. There are also goblins. I helped my wife find this book 5 years ago. She forgot again so looking for help. My skills have decreased as well it seems. She would have read this in the mid 90s she said. There s also some sort of bad guy antagonist.

Book where everyone where s a mask and the main character travels back in time From what I can remember they live in space and he went back in time for a coming of age ceremony. He loves life as a Jewish person in the Middle Ages and after the ceremony he takes off his and his girlfriends mask to finally see each others face.

Girl goes to mental institution, aliens involved. (Lesbian story) Basically what I remember is this girl has an arranged marriage with some dude. She's not a big fan of her life, something changed her and she's not sure what it is, also parents are homophobic. So this dudes dad dies at the wedding and she starts loosing it, claiming it's her fault and things like that. She gets sent to a mental institution, meets this other girl they fall in love. Turns out the mental institution has been killing their patients and looking in their brains (some sort of goverment or alien beings looking for a specific person). They kill this women's girlfriend, she finds girlfriend's body and gets caught, they check her brains. Turns out she's the person they're looking for, you find out aliens kidnapped her and she's powerful now. She kills the bad people in the mental institution, and she ends up creating this world where her girlfriend lives and her parents pay for their homophobia (she brings her girlfriend back, but her girlfriend has no memories of mental institution). I could be remembering some of these things wrong but I would appreciate if you guys could reccomend me any books that sound similar to this.

All I remember about this book was that it was definitely fantasy. There was a lot of magical elements in it but ones that were kinda connected to either North American Indigenous beliefs or traditional Irish beliefs. One part I remember quite clearly was at some point the protagonist goes into a cave where they were told old shamans went through peacefully but finds out that it was actually the spot of a massacre with their peoples bones in the water and like bloody handprints on the wall. This happens near the beginning of the book. edit Later on in the book there is a rebellion that specifically lives in a forest high up in the trees.

A guide book to Superman and his villains and allies, it was factual but had a narrative aspect where they gave backstory and context etc. I have some specific memories of pages I put down below and my current LEAD is Super (The Animated Series Guide). This book would have been published before 2007 I've been looking for this book on and off for years since my childhood. I don't know the name of it but my current lead is Superman (The Animated Series Guide) ISBN 978 140530108 . I only remember certain illustrations, one, in particular, was a page where Mr. Mxyzptlk stole some kid's puppy. I have some other memories superman fleeing Krypton, either Superman or Supergirl as a baby in a crib, a scene with a large machine with like metal tentacles I think, Bizzaro was definitely in there, Superdog too. if this rings a bell for anyone. It was obviously a guidebook type thing but with a narrative aspect to it where you learn about the characters.

Book about a girl who lives with her dad and her Mom used to be an artist but she passed away I read this book when I was in elementary school so early 2000s but it could be older than that. I remember the main character was either a young tomboyish girl or a little boy and they live in a foresty area with their dad. The mom passed away but loved animals so much that she would go into the woods and stay completely still painting the wildlife and watching it. The mom loved animals so much that she would go into the yard and scare off all the animals even as small as the ants before the mowed the lawn so they wouldn t die. I think there was something about the kid finding a dog and them having an adventure too. And at the beginning of the book there is a simple black and white map that shows the setting of the story, I remember there being a large body of water. There is also some deep thing about the kid wanting to understand the mom better. Please help me I m going crazy trying to figure this out!!

Book or short story about a man trying to impress a woman by theorizing about life on other planets. There's a framework that the guy is speaking to the woman and is really trying to impress her by flexing his sick space knowledge. I believe it was written during the 1800s to early 1900s but could be wrong. He goes through each planets and describes what people would be like if they lived on each planet. For example I believe he describes the inhabitants of Pluto (or one of the other farther planets) as a cold and hardy people who could survive without assistance due to the harsh environment. I hope I'm not just imagining this book because I remember reading it for college but I cannot find it anywhere.

Sci fi young adult novel, only remember a distinct scene from the book Read this book back in probably middle school so about 10 years ago? Only details I remember from the book is it was some futuristic society and the main character was a girl. The scene I remember was her and some classmate had ran off into the meat fields and it was these massive fields of beef that were grown through genetic code. Whenever there was an error in the code a horn or eyeball would be grown instead.

YA book about entering a video game. Thplot of this book was that two teena, one boy and one girl, who don't know each other, both play the same game at opening day. Its an RPG game with the usual stuff, taverns, different races, classes, story, etc. They live their regular lives for a bit, and you find out about them, then they log on. They somehow get trapped in the game and find each other, and decide to stick together. I believe she might have been an elf archer, and he was an assassin or some sort of aggressive class. I remember the guy wakes up in a barn in the hay when he first "arrives" in the universe. I read this book online (not Wattpad or any fanfiction site like that), and I'm not completely sure if this was ever printed. If it was, it must've been extremely low numbers. It was not a popular book. I say I read this probably 5 years ago. It was set in normal times, aside from the "game" of course, which was the classic magical renaissance. I never was able to finish it, but I believe it was a finished book, it was recommended to me as such. Something I do remember about this book I distinctly remember the title starting with the letter A, and I believe it was only around 4 characters. I could be remember wrong but it was something similar to AD50 or something close to that format for the title. This could be a completely false memory though. I've been searching for the book for years, it was recommended to me at a party by an old woman who I can't remember, so I can't ask her.

Grotesque 90's Children's Horror Book This might be a pretty obscure one! It's a book that scared me so much as a kid that my mom got rid of it of course as an adult I am obsessed with finding it again. It's not 'Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark" or "Diane Goode's Scary Stories and Songs". Pretty sure it doesn't identify itself as a book of scary stories in the title at all. Here are all the details I have I had this book as a child in the Pacific Northwest United States in the mid nineties, and I THINK it was contemporary, most likely somewhere between 1993 1998. It was a small paperback book. Each spread featured a different very short piece of creepy prose or maybe poetry, perhaps slightly humourous or goofy. Each spread also featured a notably grotesque black and white ink pen illustration. The illustrations were what made the book scary. Characters had dramatically grotesque features, with lots of warty hairy details, bulging eyes, drooping skin, etc. Think Ed Roth's "Ratfink" aesthetic, kind of. I only have dim memories of two spreads. I've sketched what I can remember of them. They may not be accurate but they are all I have to go on. I put the sketches on twitter amp x200B Thanks in advance for any leads!! Mairead

Blue butterfly on the cover, and the main character's mom is cheating with another woman. This is basically all I have. No idea where the story goes from here. I checked the book out of my school library in Europe in 2006 2007 so I know it was published before then. I read the first couple of chapters where the main character enters either a recording studio or a dentists office where their mom works, and catches her kissing a woman that is not their dad. It was a hardcover book that was mostly black with a bright blue butterfly on the front, with maybe tendrils of blue light coming off. I never finished it because my mom scooped up our library book pile and returned it without telling me. I finished my final exams and then was looking for the book to continue reading now that I had more free time. At first I thought I had misplaced the book, but then my mom told me what had happened, and the school was already closed for the summer. Then, we moved out of the country lmao If you have any leads at all I will award you my first born child. TIA!

Kids book from late 90s 00s. Neighborhood kids were superheroes I m trying to remember this book from when I was a kid. The neighborhood kids were superheroes but I believe they were just like this kids writes well etc. if I remember right, the cover of the book was their legs shoes. Maybe I m wrong?

Book where boy falls in hippos mouth I read this a few years ago, I think it was a YA fantasy and had red on the cover?? This kid was hit in the heat with a baseball I think and he got dizzy and fell in the hippo cage at a zoo. He was eaten but ended up in an alternate world by a river with musicians who were playing on the river till they fell down the waterfall and died? I remember the beginning but whatever happens afterwards is very fuzzy. Hope you all can help me!

Long (fantasy historical fiction?) novel with protagonist named Arianne I'm pretty sure it was published before 2005, as it was a lengthy paperback novel my grandmother owned, and that's roughly around when I read it. I don't think it was new at the time may have been published in the 80s or 90s. I'm pretty sure it was like 700 pages, too. It was in English, and I'm pretty sure it was geared towards adults. My grandmother had mostly sci fi and fantasy books, but it definitely wasn't sci fi. Along with the character Arianne, I believe there may have been a male protagonist whose name started with "J", maybe from a Roman inspired area? I think Arianne rode on a horse at some point. I also have a vague memory of her skin being described like milk while she was taking a bath, or maybe she was bathing in milk. I think she may have been enemies with the male protagonist, and that he captured her or something, but they ended up falling in love.

Fun space book that ends with a dancing popsicle Ok, bear with me as I don't remember many details. This was a young adult book, kind of a space adventure book with a few characters. I feel like the title was like Bogart or something. I think it was the name of the main character's uncle. The book felt space y like a hitchhikers guide type of adventure. I think they're after something which at the end turns out to be a dancing popsicle emanating love and joy. That's all I remember. It was a great book I swear! Any ideas what book it was?

Techno thriller Novel about an European war set in the late 1990s This book is possible a bit obscure. This is what I remember 1) book was published sometime in the mid 1990s, and in English 2) the setting was a bit unspecified but reading from the plot, it was set sometime in the "near future", in the late 1990s 3) it featured a European continental war between two sides, I think it was between France and Germany (???) 4) it was definitely showing a bit of military action but also some political scenes. Strangely enough, I couldn't remember the title! Many thanks in advance! )

Fiction chapter book series, book was paperback and almost framed with composition notebook pattern on the cover got it at a scholastic book fair in mid 2000s one of the books had a plot where there is a drop mailbox and letters keep going missing in the class vaguely remember the annoying kid being named Sidney I think the teacher was the same class s teacher for more than a year Sorry this is so vague!! Thank you!!

A severely messed up book about voices in someone's head I was given to read when I was 10. When I was 10 or so my mom gave me a book she found on Amazon under adult recommendations since she wanted to see if I could read it. I couldn't finish it because of how messed up it was. It was about a guy, maybe a teenager, who had a voice in his head who told him to do terrible things. The voice claimed it drove someone else to suicide before it got in the main character's head. Its previous "owner" killed himself by walking off of a platform and getting crushed by logs at a log camp. The cover was writing on a window with a dark and cloudy background. Thank you in advance. EDIT After logging into an old Amazon account and scrolling back 8 years I found the book. The Dreadful Revenge of Earnest Gallen. Recommended for 5th 7th graders. I would not recommend that to anyone until they reach high school.

Survival stories collection book from 80s or 90s The book I'm looking for was a collection of survival stories. I believe it had a blue book cover, and I read it sometime between 2002 2006, but from the typeface in it the book could have been from the late 80s through the 1990s. I don't think it was published in the early 2000s. I read it as a preteen or young teenager although I believe the book was targeted to adults. The stories were real events that had happened, and included testimony from survivors, including the Andes plane crash with the rugby team that had been forced to use cannibalism to survive, and I believe it also included a story about surviving the London Blitz. I think it was a couple hundred pages long. The book included black and white sketches, but I don't think it had actual photos. Wish I had more details but I appreciate any help I can get!

Teen girl runs away from home, gets job, falls in love with boy, becomes infertile from untreated chlamydia This has been bugging me for years, off and on. It's a YA fiction book, I read it probably 15 years ago. A teenage girl lives with her dad who is becoming uncomfortable with her maturing body and becomes distant. I specifically remember a scene where the girl describes how she used to see her dad in his boxers but one day it becomes weird for him and she later learns it is because she is starting to resemble her mom who is now overweight or not in the picture or something. He doesn't abuse her or anything but I think their relationship takes a turn in which he is angry and distant. She starts acting out by dressing up and wearing a lot of makeup just to make her dad mad. She has DD size breasts. She contracts chlamydia and when her dad finds out he won't let her take medicine to treat it. I remember one scene where the dad gets angry about how much makeup she wears and she tells him that she goes through a tube of mascara a week just to make him mad. Eventually she runs away or is kicked out and she has to lie about her age to work and support herself. There is a boy that I think she ends up working for with who I think doesn't like her at first and they develop a relationship. Her untreated chlamydia progresses into pelvic inflammatory disease and she loses her fertility after experiencing major pains and she doesn't know why. I believe the cover is maybe black and gray with a big bra on the cover, maybe some lipstick and sunglasses. I don't remember if it's a mostly black cover or if it's a rearview mirror or on a table with these items scattered. Thank you! Edit forgot to add that in order to get the job the girl has to lie about her age. I probably got this book from a school library but it may have been a public library.

Help! Trying to remember old gothic novel... Think it was written in 70s 80s.. Plot is heroine returns 'home' but pretends she is a stranger.. ends up impersonating self. She was good with horses but knows this will give her away so she pretends that she is frightened by horses. Believe it takes place in U.S. Similar to plot in Mary Stewart's Ivy Tree but that's not the book I'm looking for...

Scifi, kids make a rocket ship There was a book I read a long while ago. It's about a group of kids who make a ship rocket ship, and I think there was a kid somewhere that had a bad sense of humor. I'm 99 sure that there was a scene that someone said "You're a genius!" and then the kid with a bad sense said "But he isn't" and everyone was really exasperated. I think the protagonists were 2 brothers, and they took off at nighttime sunset? Tell me if you know which book it is.

"At twenty I wanted someone perfect. Now that I'm forty I wonder if there's anyone normal." I have no Idea where this is from. It's an approximate translation since i read it in portuguese. I remember there was a character named Sonny and a baby Sam. Anyone has any clue which book is it? Thanks in advance

An old YA Fantasy about a slave girl bought by an eccentric man who owns a mokey and taken on a quest to help him find and kill an ancient king who has found immortality by living inside flames that burn away his humanity This is an OLD book, back in early to mid 2000s. I THINK the author is female and British. In the book's universe, slavery is ubiquitous. Slaves have to wear metal collars around their necks, and when they change hands, the key to the collar is inherited. The details are that this girl, who has been bought and sold several times, is bought by a strange man (who also owns a monkey, la Abu in Disney's Aladin). He promises her that once she helps him, he will give her freedom by giving her the key to her collar. The dude's quest is to find some mountain or cave in which a special sort of magical flames that are said to make one immortal by burning away mortality or something like that, but also burns away one's humanity. Again this is a very old book, at LEAST 2 decades. Thanks!!

Fantasy about kids with powers I read this book a while back. There were probably 10 or 20 children, and they all went to a sort of academy for kids with powers. As I recall, the main character was a girl named Piper, and she could fly. I think there was a boy who went to the academy with a c name(Connor?) who was some kind of super genius, he started out as an antagonist but came out of his shell later. Btw it s not miss peregrines, in case if somebody mixes that up.

Book About a woman's life in the 1900s who marries a gay guy I think I read this book at least 8 years ago, around middle school age, and I remember a lot of the plot, just not specific names. The main character point of view is a woman growing up in the early to mid 1900s. When she's in her late teens she falls in love with a rich man (in his 20s maybe?) and they get married. (We find out later that the husband knew he was gay and was just trying to choose a girl who wasn't well off and help her have a better life). amp x200B Fast forward to when they are married and have a few kids. The wife, her husband, their kids, and her husband's (male) friend go to an amusement park or carnival. The husband said he's feeling sick and him and the friend went back to the husband's house. The wife decides to leave early to go take care of her sick husband, but when she gets home she finds her husband and the friend in bed together. She lashes out angrily. amp x200B Fast forward again and she was old and in a nursing home, reflecting on her life. Her husband and his 'friend' were dead and she thinks about how she reacted when she first found out, and then how she loved them both after a bit and by the time they died they were a part of the family. I think she's also debating on whether to tell her kids the truth about their dad, but I'm not sure if I remember that correctly. I know the general time period was 1900s because by the time she's old, she thinks about how 'in this day and age' her husband and his lover would have been accepted, so it would have had to be in the late 1900s or 2000s by then. amp x200B Does anyone know the name of this book? I can try to answer more questions, these are the main plot points I remember. Thanks for the help!

A romance book where the H is a convict and an outcast he got put away for murder. Book starts when he's out of prison. Hi, I've been looking for a book that I read on Kindle a while ago. No more than 8 years ago though. The H had just come back from prison and starts falling for the h. I'm not sure if h knows he went to prison and doesn't care, because she doesn't want to judge him for it, or doesn't find out until later. H was an outcast in town because of his conviction and lived in a cottage alone and away from the main population. There was a scene where he was cutting down trees or wood where he lives in the middle of nowhere and she ogles him. h learns that H went to prison for murder and assumes the worst and leaves but the murder was unintentional and may have been because of an accidental bad head injury during a bar fight and H was still distraught over it. I don't remember much more than that I'm afraid but I hope that's enough!

Time Traveling Siblings Searching for their father SOLVED SOLVED SOLVED A fiction book about a brother and sister who go to their fathers laboratory, possibly secret, and are inadvertently sent to the past where the machine that brought them is either broken upon landing or appeared somewhere else. The siblings check a map and find they landed in "Austria" which one of them wonders if it was an old name for Australia. Either way, they cannot access it due to a reason I cannot remember, and they spend some time in the past which had medieval type feel to it, with horses on dirt roads paved roads. I do not remember more to the plot than that unfortunately, but I do remember that at the end they make it back to their present somehow, accidentally bringing the major villain in the past that they barely escaped. He is immediately impressed by automobiles which he calls some fancy name that completely gives away how foreign he is to the technology, and the book ends there. I assume it was a series because of the cliff hanger, but it could have not been. I read this sometime between 2006 2014 and borrowed it from a public library from the fiction section. I believe the cover was blue, but my memory is very hazy.

Modern China mixing blood with urine to fake infection Fiction novel based on real life in modern China. The main character is paid by the Gov to be a poet and makes additional money by selling coupons and medication acquired by faking infection by mixing blood into his urine. He also identifies the lack of ginger in the fish head soup made by his neighbours from the smell and boils dumplings in a kettle.

A guy gets lost in the woods, gets attacked by a smiling tophat guy, and goes to a hotel where you have to pay with a story Okay, so not everything i say is 100 confired accurate, (Duh) but for about 6 years ive been unable to remember where this character i had vacantly in my minde originated from, the character is a long "person" in a cloak with a large hat that covers their eyes, they also have a large smile that covers anything else on their eyes, and scraggly hair that curls out on the back of their head, it was from some sort of a comic book where a tall gangly man gets lost in the woods and encounters the monster, then he encounters the hat guy and the hat guy trys to kill him, he survives and finds a hotel that needs to be paid for via a story, there are three other people there, a girl who tells a story about ice cream, a man who tells the story of him getting a wedding ring out of the water, and an odd man who was abducted by aliens, but the gangly man doesnt have a story so hes kicked out, he then runs into the smiling hat guy who tells him to find a key, he goes on some adventure to get the key, and returns it to the hat guy, and the hat guy trys to kill him again, then theres a scene where the gangly guy is on the edge of a cliff with a sunset, anyway, the gangly guy goes back to the hotel and tells the story of his adventure, and thats the end.

Young adult action book about a brother and sister (Twins?) A young adult book that was part of a series about a brother and sister (I believe they may have been twins) who get roped up into espionage and adventure etc when their (father uncle?) gets killed or they think that he has been. I believe it was by a popular action writer who primarily wrote for adults. The books in the series were brightly colored (red, yellow, maybe a green) with silhouettes of the twins on the front?

Teen young adult coming of age book about a girl who s dad died and an autistic boy I would have read this book between high school and college so from 2013 2018. A teen girl kills her dad in a car crash (this is not revealed until the end of the book). She's the traditional "popular girl" and her friends aren't very supportive of her at this time so she goes to sit with this boy, the "school loser" who nobody ever sits with. They become closer and closer. I believe that the book was also from the boy's POV as well. He has a book filled with information about people in the school because he has trouble communicating with people I think. The guy gets a haircut and a new wardrobe and suddenly everyone realizes how attractive he really is. Some other students find his book about the information about everyone and posts it online to humiliate the boy. At some point during the book, the teen girl finds out that her mother had an affair with her deceased father's brother or best friend (I don't remember) and they had already filed for a divorce before her dad died. At the end of the book, the boy finds out that the girl was the reason her father died because they accidentally got in a car crash when she was driving but they covered that up. The boy also has an older sister that was very popular and helps him. I m pretty s sure it ends with the two on the bleachers of the football field

Series about teen girl on a farm published pre 70s Each book followed the girl as she grew up and went through different stages of life. In one book her grandmother makes a hamburger and French fries to help her feel more modern. Does this sound familiar to anyone? Thank you!

Girl disguised as a boy leads to a king being overthrown and develops feelings for the prince while being his male servant Repost, because hope springs eternal. I've tried to search everything I could on Google, though with no luck. I'll try to list as much as I can remember, though it's been ten years since I read it The setting is your typical medieval esque fantasy world. The main character is a young girl who's lived a life of obscurity. She's informed that she is to knock the king off the throne somehow. There is something about her mother having been important, I think. Not sure. She disguises herself as a boy and ends up not just the servant of, but close friend to, the young prince. Their relationship develops and I seem to remember a scene by a river in which they become intimate, though the prince is very apologetic about it afterwards (apparently in this world it is not uncommon for those of means to impose themselves on subordinate males? The prince says something along the lines of how he never wanted to treat her like that, or something). It's a silly detail, but something about her explaining to the prince how to wash using soap root has stuck with me for all of these hears too. She does end up succeeding the rebellion happens and the prince is captured. There might be a profecy about her and his union, of some kind? Either way they are put in a room together and meant to be intimate. He learns that she is a girl (understandably upset, but they move past it), they spend a night together and she ultimately ends up abandoning her allies in favour of fleeing with the prince to save his life. I seem to recall them fleeing in a small boat, or the like, at night. I don't know if this will make any difference, but I also seem to recall a scene in which her and the prince are traveling. The area uses loud calls traveling voices to relay messages over long distances and our heroin is tasked with making one, only for the lightness of her voice to be commented upon. It's vague, I know, and Google was of absolutely no help so this is my last ditch attempt. I put my faith in you guys I should note that the books The Bone Doll's Twin (the Tamir Triad) and the Song of the Lioness were recommended as an answer, but upon reading them, there seemed to be none of the scenes of which I have described above. Thus I try again.

Fantasy series involving a man living in two different universes Back around 2005 2007 I read a paperback novel ( 250 pages) about a man who would fall asleep in one universe and wake up in another. One universe was our current one, with the current timeline, the other was close to ours, but the humans were less technologically advanced. The man who kept switching universes kept getting more exhausted because every time he fell asleep, he'd just wake up in the next one, basically sharing the same body. I remember something about him helping the less advanced civilization discover gunpowder to fight off the evil overlords. The author may have been Ted Dekker, but that might just be poor memory. Unfortunately I can't remember anything more as I moved and ended up losing the books during. To the mods, I apologize if I wrote this poorly, I'm sincerely trying my best.

Woman finds boyfriend cheating and he says he s glad she s found out and leaves her...Sad woman is forced to go take care of Uncle s house property and meets handsome neighbor. I believe it started with a woman walking in on her boyfriend or fianc cheating and he says something like he s glad she found out. Then, he leaves with the woman he s cheating with. Next, she is somewhat forced to go take care of her sick uncle s house property, when she meets a man and build a connection with him. I remember one more thing. I believe they had sex by the fire but I m sure that s a common occurrence in many books.

Read 2012 in the UK, Yorkshire region. A book about 2 princes leaving their home to find a better life. After another year of this book being in my subconscious so I think it's about time for a repost since it's been long enough for new people to arrive. Ok, so I read a book once around in 2011 12 (Uk, not sure if the americans have this book but it's a bit more detail) and it was one of my favourite books I have ever read and I've lost it now for 9 years and I think it's about that time to try again The best description I can give on it is a little of the plot from what I read. The story starts with two princes (their names are quite foreign so I'll be refering them to prince 1 and 2) who are quite young who are starting to grow tired of being in their palace. (I think they were somewhere were palaces would be previlent such as the middle east, india, or places of that fashion. However not in a place like europe or north and south america. The world itself was entirely made up but I feel this could help.) The brothers don't go down the same path, the first wishes to become an entrepreneur and goes off to find his way. He has a talent of being able to fit inside of very small boxes and even attempts to fit into a shoe box (he makes a bet that he can fit inside of it and doesn't manage to fit.) during a stage show infront of quite a group of people.. He then gets scouted by a circus for his acrobatic skills to which I believe he leaves after some time. That is all I can remember for prince 1. The second I can't remember as much but I'll try my best. prince 2 is more matured and I believe is also older. He also leaves the palace, first going out and fishing on a boat and then leaving. I believe he goes off and starts to join somewhat of an army (I hope this is correct) between this time he has ran into his brother once or twice. And unfortuntaly that's all I can remember for prince 2. I've also come to remember that there was a girl who lived in the Palace that boy 1 used to hang out with around the swiming baths. She encourages boy 1 to get out and find his own way in life A k comes to mind when thinking of the name of area this story takes place in. And I belive there is a girl who lives in the palace, perhaps a maid that prince 2 fancies. I've spent around 5 years looking for this one damn book and I've gone mad doing this search alone. If there's anyone out there who might have read this book, know it's name or even go out of their way to find it I will be eternally thankful. For a little background context I read this book in 2011 12 and I was in primary school at this point. The genre of the book was not magical and had more of a realistic setting apart from the world being entirely made up. The book had it's own map inside of it which showed both the world and the Palace. The outside of the book I belive was a beige colour with a picture of the either the Palace itself or it was one of the princes. Thank you to anyone who might find this book!

Woman's autobiography about Japan during World War II, had an older sister that was mentioned to be very good at sewing embroidering kimono? I read this autobiography by a woman who lived through WWII in Japan as a child when I was in middle school (about a decade ago). The only things I can really remember about it are that the author had an older sister who was noted to be very good at sewing and embroidering kimono, and that at one point she, her mother, and her sister were running from soldiers (possibly Chinese?) and the girl and her sister cut their hair short and bound their breasts to appear like boys. I also know that the author's sister died around 2010 or 2011, as my teacher was a penpal with the author and she mentioned her sister dying in a recent (at the time) letter. I hope that helps narrow it down.

Sci fi novel about a plague like coming from an alien artifact Hi all, I don't remember if that's a short novel or a novel, the plot goes like this An alien spherical artifact lands on earth, humans collect it and cut it in a half, a plague starts that turns people into super humans with an irresistible thrust towards uninfected people, thus spreading the virus and changing mankind forever. They don't necessarily kill (if I remember well) healty subjects they are just drawn to them (like zombies). It's hard boiled sci fi probably published pre 90s. Thanks!

Manga about a girl who tells story about mermaids to her friend The majority of this manga is about the story of mermaids. But these mermaids are beautiful and merciless sea creatures who have very little regard for human life, and all kinds of grotesque things happen to them, like a mermaid who lives on after losing the majority of her tail. These stores relate to events happening in the girl s life. Please help I ve been looking for this forever

Japanese? Story about a petal shaped birthmark Sorry this is so vague but I ve tried finding or remembering this book fully for years! All I remember is it being I believe a story set in Japan, fictional, with a girl born with a petal birthmark in the palm of her hand, and it was made from being born holding a small pebble or something? I was probably 11 12 when I read it, so that was about 15 years ago, and I found it in a school library (I live in the US if that helps) Any help appreciated! I ve started reading a lot more lately and am now hunting down old books I enjoyed!

Sci Fi Novel Mosey Falls in Love with an AI I read this book in the 1990s, no idea of title or author. The cover was mostly beige brown with a picture of Mosey reclined in a lab type chair (think dentist office) with probes on her head. The protagonist is Mosey, a socially awkward and lonely girl. She works in a lab doing a research project. She is mentally connected to an AI that will pilot a spaceship. Overtime she falls in love with it. I believe the AI was named Adam or Alex, but could be wrong. At some point the AI "responds" to her thoughts of love and they become a good team to pilot the ship. In the end it turns out the AI is incapable of love but it was giving Mosey "love" in order to make her more efficient.

A book about an adopted child, his adoptive mother, potential birth parents and a murderer. So the book I m trying to remember is about a woman and her child. The child was adopted, and he is pretty young maybe 4 or 5. Anyways, eventually she comes into contact with who she believes may be the birth parents, I think it might have been through work or coincidence I can t remember. Anywho, she swans them without them knowing (she collected a dna sample from a soda can and another from a source I can t remember. Later on, a male figure (I forget who he is) comes into their life and tries to kill both the woman and the kid, pressuring the kids head by stepping on it with boots on and adding more force. The birth mother comes in and saves them, but at the cost of her life. Later on, the DNA test comes back and shows that the kid was related to the woman who died, but not to that woman s husband (the supposed birth father). This meant that the 1st woman was able to keep the child and avoid having it taken from her. Please help, I know I m missing a bunch of key details. I believe the man who tried to kill them was wanted for being a serial killer in the area? I m not 100 sure.

Looking for a thriller SCI FI from when I was in grade 5, 9 years ago!! I found this book in my school library and It was kind of handed to me because my class was forced to read and I wasn t a reader back then, the cover definitely had a heavy black vibe, mostly dark colours and the words were probably raised but I can t remember the colour of the words. The first scene I remember is a boy, a teenager walking down a road in the middle of the road and he was nearing a house that he didn t want to be seen at by the owner who was known to be a little crazy, a crazy cat lady and had a witch vibe, I m almost positive they have some sort of interaction but now 9 years later I can t remember, the second scene was the teenager in his bedroom he was either sitting on his bed or leaning against the side on the floor, a green light filled his room and a black figure rose from the other side of the room. I can t remember if the shadow took him to another dimension or nightmare. Another significant part of the book was a large tree in the middle of a flat dead grass field. But that s about all I remember, when I went back to my school library the next day the book was checked out by another kid and I forgot all about it. I would really love to find it again if anyone can help me

YA book where the teenagers are rich and dysfunctional, lots of partying, destruction of property, arson, book ends with a bombing (??) at a fancy picnic party The book opens with this party and the kids steal a painting from the party house and burn it and it turns out it was really expensive but no one knows who did it And at some point this girl who hates her mom burns down or bombs (or something) her mom's fancy boutique store At the end of the story, the main character or someone close to him goes off the rails and plans a bombing for a fancy picnic, but someone stops him and prevents the disaster. And the whole thing takes place in a beach town and the teenagers in the story are all from rich families i think it was a fairly recent book that I read in 2017 or 2018? So probably written around 2015 or so?

Young adult horror fiction novel about a woman (maybe couple) on a road trip, turns out she had committed suicide I read this book between 2005 2008, and it seems consistent with a Christopher Pike or RL Stine ish novel. It's horror, or suspense for young adults (I think), and I vaguely remember a castle or a road on the cover. It's about a young woman who is upset about something and maybe contemplates suicide in the beginning before taking off on a road trip somewhere. She may be with another person. She ate jr. mints candy along the way and I feel like I remember her stopping at a castle or something like that. The ending reveals that she had slit her wrists, and I don't remember if she is actually transitioning to the after life, or if she gets a new chance. Please help!!

Young Adult novel about two different girls in school (one preppy, the other rebellious and different) having to work together on something school related and somehow becoming friends in the end. Hi all. I remember reading this book for a middle school book club, and it resonated with me because of the inclusion of the piano and old composers (something I m still greatly interested in). This book is fiction and young adult. The plot centers around two girls with vastly different personalities and having to work together on something related to school (or maybe an extra curricular thing?). The primary detail I remember about this book was that the rebellious, angsty girl secretly played the piano at a professional level. The preppy girl stumbles in one day and hears the other girl playing Chopin s Fantaisie Impromptu. Somehow the good girl convinces the other girl to use her piano talent to her advantage, and I remember it working out quite well in the end. I believe they became friends, too. Some notable characteristics of the book Setting modern day, American middle high school. The book I read was paperback. Unfortunately, I don t remember what the illustration on the cover was. I believe it was fairly new when I read it. I would be so appreciative if someone knew this book! I loved it as a kid and would like to reread it. Thank you in advance!!!

Illustrated Children's Book about a man Traveling I grew up in the UK in the 80s. I borrowed a book as a child from the library. It was large format illustrated book. All I remember is that there was a man (presuming not a boy) walking across scenes of country and towns. The illustrations were "zoomed out" so the man was always little in the scene.... Possibly a foreign theme.. Not much to go on.

Fiction Eccentric Rich Guy Becomes Obsessed with Repeatedly Recreating Unusual Circumstances that Happen in Everyday Life First time posting here so if I leave something out, apologies, I will edit as necessary. And of course all this is to the best of my recollection so I may be mistaken on a point or two. Read this book in 2009 or so, though not sure if it was a new release or not. Paperback, fiction (I believe), not very long, with a cover that features the color orange. Story is about an eccentric guy who comes into some money somehow and becomes obsessed with recreating unusual occurrences that happen in every day life. Like something falls out of my hand but just so happens to fall down a drain what are the chances of that? So he hires people to recreate these basic everyday things to find out the chances. Had an anxiety OCD obsessiveness type feel to it. Didn t think much of the book at the time, but my interest has been peaked by my own more recent experiences with OCD obsessive type behavior (if there is a better descriptor please inform me). Thanks for the help!

Book about a man collecting souls!! Pls help! G'day! Some months ago I talked to my now ex partner about a book they were reading and now I'm desperately trying to find it. I don't remember the title or author or if it consisted of short stories or if it was a novel but the main plot was about a man who went down a river collecting souls. It might have been russian or polish..? But I do remeber that it wasn't an english author. I'd really appreciate some suggestions if this rings ANY bells and or as a last resort I'd have to contact my ex which I'm not to keen on.... Thanks!

Book about a future world where people are connected to technology, and cut off to the world because it is a "barren wasteland" It takes place in the future, and the girl lead lives in this dome area with a bunch of other people since the outside world is toxic and dangerous and they can only survive in domes set up around the world. So she lives there and everything is run pretty s virtually since they have advanced tech, and literally everyone has like a device contact in their eye which is pretty much their smartphone. Said girl lead one day is banished from the dome (i can't remember why) and her tech contact thingy is disconnected so she's alone in this barren wasteland and she thinks she's going to die. She then realizes two things. 1. the world is not a barren wasteland. There are animals and shockingly people still alive. She shockingly doesn't die during the first 2 minutes she's outside and 2. she meets a boy who lives on the outside. He helps her out and they go on a quest kinda thing to somewhere but I can't remember why... I think they might be searching for his brother but I can't remember. Anyway, the two characters eventually fall in love and the girl realizes she likes it better outside...I think she might try to go back and save her friends and family in the dome since she realizes they've been lied to. Anyway really liked this book and I think it might have been in a series?? (maybe not) but would love to find it again. Thanks!

19th Century Ghost Fairy Story I read this on Google Books about 10 years ago. There s a man living in London as it is industrialising and he keeps walking to the edge of the city along paths, where something is watching him from the bushes. Also, there is a related story about a woman who leaves offerings in a fairy circle, and disappears inside, only to return later. I think it was written in the 19th or early 20th century damned if I can find it.

China takes over the world. Military thriller. Catch 22. I don't have access to the 'Chung Kuo' novels series. It might have been in one of those books, but I can't check. I picked up an enormous paperback book, more than a decade ago, that looked interesting. It seemed to be a compendium of multiple novel from the same series. It took place in a chinese like society. It might have taken place in the future, but if so, it resemble China's distant past. Corruption, favoritism, nepotism have combined to make things very bad. It also could have taken place in the past. In the part I read, the man character just murdered a superior officer in the military. He is running around, panicking about how to conceal the crime. The victim was a horrible man, and very much deserved it. Let's call him Wu. Unbeknownst to the murderer,. (let's call him Chang.) the king doesn't like Chang. So he sends out orders for Chang to execute his supervisor (Wu) and take over the position. The king then makes sure that the orders aren't delivered, or at least, delayed. He (the king) then goes to visit Chang's military outpost, confident that when he visits, Wu will be alive, and he can arrest Chang on charges of dereliction of duty, for falling to kill Wu. Edit Removed 'China Mountain Zhang' from my post. It was one of two future china novels I googled, but it wasn't it.

Girl at a Boarding School solves an Art heist I think I read this in 2014 2015. It's about a girl who goes to a fancy boarding school for talented artists. I think there's some sort of painting competition and whoever wins will get their art displayed at a famous museum? Then she and her roomate find out there are people planning to steal a really well known painting (I think it was Starry Night?) from said museum and they try to stop them. Pretty sure the thieves kidnap them at some point. In first scene she goes into her dorm room for the first time and meets her roomate. I think the cover was purple and there was a drawing of the main character in an anime ish style. I remember really liking it at the time for some reason and I'd love to figure out what it is, lol. Any help would be really appreciated, thanks!

Looking For A Book of Russian or German Origin. I read this book when I was 10 years old. The book was about a German soldier station in Russia during WWII(I think). During his time there the soldier become friends with a a local teenager and the two of them bond over football. They both get to play against each other in a football match between Germany vs. Russian years later. I read this when I was so young so a lot of the heavier stuff just fly over my head. Now that I'm older I would like to read it again as an adult. Also if this book ever get adapted to a live action movie I would love to watch it.

Urban fantasy Cost of magic Saw this in the library about 5 years ago, a paperback series about a magic system where each act of magic cost the MC some of her memories. Pretty sure it was urban fantasy, not sure if it was Earth or secondary world.

YA novel, Werewolf romance Book with evil scientist subplot. Hi! I'm looking for a hard cover book i read in 2018 2019. The cover was orange, with the spine being black. The MC was this kid with a very secretive dad, and a dead mom who loved the wilderness. The MC lived in a trailer park, and owned a motorcycle. He has this computer nerd friend, and this love interest girl. Theres also a group of spoilt russian rich kids in his school, who end up being vampires. ( being russian was a key part of their back story, as they end up as like, either enemies or spies of the KGB or something. )The book, i think it was set in a place with thick forests or something. The time line was around 1990(?) 2010, i think. Im not sure. Im only setting it as that because i know they had computers, and motorcycles. His dad eventually disappears when he enters high school, and he has to figure out what happened. He had this 'uncle' figure who disappeared when he was younger as well. The MC eventually learns about his 'werewolf' bloodline, ( Werewolf in air quotes, since they actually shift with animal pelts instead of actually being werewolves MC was a wolf pelt shifter, while his dad was one as well, and the uncle was a panther shifter. ) The Love interest girls' dad ends up being apart of an evil organization that took his dad and uncle figure for their blood to make themselves stronger. MC ends up joining forces with the vampires, as the organization is both a common enemy. I remember that in passing, the vampires hypnotise a teacher for a rug for their 'lair' which was just the abandoned pool roon area in the school. They also mentioned n zis trying to learn more about the shifter people trying to use them in warfare, as like, a passing note or something. The MC and the vampires fight these goop monster dogs, who were genetically engineered with the shifter blood DNA. I also remember at one point the MC burns down his home in the trailer park and runs off to this empty haunted house to seek shelter(?) I think i only remember this much of the story because i read it twice while in seventh grade. If anyone can help me find this book, i'd be extremely happy!

Book where a young girl (?) befriends the neighborhood "witch" (she's just an old hermit who is blind and collects cans) and has a party at the end where her dog runs away and she goes out in the rain to find him?? There was a scene where a woman describes her father (who may have owned an old and wealthy self made candy company) and says that he bought her her own library before he died. The MC visits the library, tries a candy (the lady has a drawer full of the candies), borrows some books, and listens to a story about a bear coming into the building.

Elementary Fiction chapter book I can t for the life of me remember the name or most of the details about this book I read in 5th or 6th grade. It was a book about people who lived under the sea (I think in submarines or maybe they could breath?) and I think there was some sort of monster beast. I am going crazy trying to figure it out and google hasn t helped!

Please help me find a book about a priest who is struggling with the fact that his archaeologist friend found Jesus Christ's bones I am trying to help my dad find a book. It was published around the early 1970s and was about a priest whose archaeologist friend comes to stay with him and he learns that he has discovered Jesus' bones. They argue over whether to release this to the world and the book is centered around the crisis of faith for the priest. He believes that it was set in New York and was set in the 70s. He thinks that the cover had a box on it but he is not sure. Thanks for any help. Edit Solved Solved Solved Many thanks to u ialmostguaranteeit

I m looking for a medieval fantasy book about royalty who could transform into cats I read this I think around mid 90 s. The cover had a dark swamp scene with a lady with hair that looked like a calico cat s coat. The first half of the book was a coming of age story for a lady who was a lost princess to a royal family who could magically transform into cats. The later part took place in modern times, where the lady remembered being someone s pet cat, and she goes back to romance her former owner. I would appreciate any help thank you!

Time travel book about visiting the past Book about time travel to the past where the participants cannot influence the past. It was written before 1992. The people in the book are unable to even touch the past. They walk about as if in another dimension or as if they are in a stimulator. They might have been scientists or historians or just tourists. I don't recall. I think they also sometimes encounter other travelers, but they cannot interact with them.

Novel about a girl (or two girls?) growing up isolated on their father's heritage fruit orchard, set sometime between 1880s and 1910s (guesses). Not YA. Title may have mentioned orchard. I'm really bad at remembering the details of books, but this would have been written in the last 20 years or so at most. I believe the mother dies early in the novel and the father essentially self isolates on his traditional and very successful orchard property, but I don't remember if it's apples that he grows or some other fruot. Can't remember if there are two or girls or just one, so I'm going for one for ease of description the daughter is isolated also and both loves and balks at it, and there's a group of itinerant farmhands who come through regularly that she's attracted to. Edit This novel takes place in the US...maybe in Washington state, or Oregon? Any idea what novel this is and who wrote it?

Book with Celtic knot on cover, Teen young twenties female protagonist Scotland had 'fallen'? People who crossed over the boarder into England get a celtic knot tattooed onto their cheek, protag girl has this, works for a crime boss? He makes her deal with explosives and she sneaks into a building at one point to blow it up, at another point she deals drugs in a private school. The boss guy demands that everyone go by their full names (no nick names). I have weird memories of reading this, would have had to be published before 2015.

Space sci fi written by former soldier (marine?) The book is from the last ten years or so and isn't from a major series or author. I'm pretty sure it was the author's first book. It's mixed up in my recollection with Becky Chambers' first, so I likely read them about the same time. It's set on a frontier border in space that has been quiet for a long time. From what I recall the core issue is robot troops plotting a takeover or otherwise turning on their masters. There is a fair bit of humor, much of which I think was observations about military life. The book ends with a bit of a cliffhanger, which implied a second book.

A compilation of ghost stories from around the world I used to read a lot of ghost stories when I was younger and borrowed this book from the library and there's one specific story I want to read again. A British couple lived in India and were driving when they almost hit a figure which turns out to be the ghost. They moved back to the UK and the ghost followed them, leaving scratch marks on the wife one night. Other stories in the same book might possibly be about screaming skulls, Borley Rectory and 50 Berkeley Square, although I might have read those in other books as the book I remember had stories from around the world and those stories are UK based... It was a "standard size" paperback (a bit smaller than A5?), and I read it around 1990 but the publish date could have been much earlier. Any thoughts would be appreciated!

Romance novel. Boy and girl grow up together. The whole book is just the messages between the two of them ranging from notes to letters to email. Read it in 2014 because this girl I was crushing on was reading it. The protagonists don't end up together at the start from what I remember. The book being a series of messages back of forth between them is the only meaningful detail I can remember.

World has the same souls being reborn over and over again just in different bodies, until one day a girl is born into the world and it's a brand new soul, and the soul that died before is now gone somehow and she is ostracized. SOLVED SOLVED SOLVED This is a young adult paranormal fictional romance novel. The world has the same, set amount of souls who, when their bodies die, are reborn again but are still essentially the same souls and I also believe they were able to retain some memories about their past lives after reaching a certain age. One day a girl is born but it wasn't a soul being reborn, it's a brand new soul and people are angry that that past soul is gone and that there is somehow a new soul now and the cycle has been broken. I ready this prior to 2011 2012 in a public library, I believe it was paperback. I don't really remember what was on the cover. My failing memory tells me it was a butterfly but that might be a different book.
