This isn't a book I read but one I think I remember reading the description for? I can't remember where though so I'm not entirely sure it's real or not.

Basically, this gay couple is incredibly wealthy and doesn't realize they're in the middle of an apocalypse. They invite a bunch of people to the main character's husband's birthday party, but at the last second I think they ran out of something so the main character has to go to the grocery store and then he spends the entire day trying to get back home because of some disaster. I'm not sure if he realizes at this point there's an apocalypse or not.

Anyone know what book this is, if it's real? I have no idea if it's going to be an obvious answer or not but it's too much to fit into Google and I have absolutely no idea

I’m looking for a book, at least 15 years old, YA, fantasy-romance. About a girl who has a NDE. She gets tangled in a pool cover and drowns. While she’s dead she ends up soaking wet in purgatory waiting in line for a boat. She sees a guy she met at her grandfathers funeral who brought a bird back to life, and goes to talk to him, but he doesn’t recognize her, and tries to put her in the wrong boat line. Eventually she does convince him he knows her and he takes her out of the line to his house where he gives her tea and a necklace. She manages to escape back down to earth though and survives the drowning. I remember there’s a graveyard in the story, a jewelry store that accuses her of theft, and at the end of the book it’s revealed the grandmother was the one who set her up to drown in the first place. But not much else. I’ve been trying so hard to find this book!

(The castle I'm not 100% sure on; but I definitely remember them being newly moved into somewhere, and while I'm also not sure it was definitely a music box the wife finds, I absolutely remember that it had to do with music/a tune.)

The part about the ghost of the previous wife though, I absolutely remember vividly. (I also remember it ending with the new wife managing to escape, and the husband getting his comeuppance from the spirit of his previous wife that he sacrificed).

Hello everyone!

So, I read this book a while back that I can't remember the name or author of. As far as I can recall, there were two main story lines that intersected in the end.

The first was about two guys, both physicists or something similar. One was married and had a young daughter, the other was single and dedicated to only his work. There was some tension between them about a past college fallout regarding either a girl, or some sort of science grant they were competing for.

The second storyline was about an eccentric detective who was working this mysterious case of a famous doctor who went cycling, training for a comoetition, got decapitated, and nobody could figure out how. Also the detective kept referring to his intuitions and deductions as 'a small egg' he had in his brain (guessing brain tumor, but not sure if that ever got explained). I think he was divorced and had a rocky relationship with his teenage daughter too.

Anyway, the stories converge when the married science guy becomes the main suspect in the murder investigation.In the end he didn't do it, I think his friend did it and maybe tried to frame him.

The last thing I can guess at is that the author might be northern, maybe Swedish but I'm not one hundred percent sure.

Thank you in advance to anyone who might lend me a hand in finding this book that's been rotting in my brain for literally years.

I remember a lot about this book but not the author’s name or the exact wording of the title, so I keep getting web search results for “A Little Princess” about the rich girl who ends up poor in someone’s attic. This is a different book—I read it probably in the early 2010s, it was a children’s chapter book with the princess doll (wearing a pink dress) on the front cover. The main character was a girl named Zoe or Zoey, and she got dropped off at her grandma’s house by her single mother. At this house there was a dollhouse with this tiny doll in it, and if anyone’s tears touched her skin the doll would come alive until she was left alone for too long. I can’t remember the doll’s name, but she started out pretty vain and selfish and even tried to trick Zoe(y) into crying on her once. And at the end the doll finally develops enough empathy to cry herself, and her OWN tears turn her into a permanently-alive tiny human instead of a doll that’s sometimes animate. I remember her asking the grandma if this meant she would die and the grandma said “Not today, I think.”

unfortunately the title is about everything i can remember. I remember this book being read to my class in 4th/5th grade. I’m almost positive it was part of a series. I remember the cover having the family drawn super oddly, skinny bodies with long extremities and big heads, very cartoonish. One of their kids fell from a window and was injured, i remember that being a huge portion of the plot for this book. There was also a point where they traveled to a typing contest because their other sibling was like the fastest typer in the world. There’s also a chance that this was a local book written by a local author. PLEASE tell me someone remembers this one.

Hi there, just remembered reading this book as a kid and my googling has failed! It was a picture book about the creatures above (Leviathan, Behemoth, and Ziz) and had very vividly colored illustrations, I think one of the creatures was red. It may have also been about the creation story in Judaism with those creatures highlighted as part of it.

I had it as a hardcover but don't remember what the cover looked like. I was reading this circa mid to late 90s so must have been published prior to 2000.
Hoping someone knows it so I can share it with my kids! Thanks so much!

I’m looking for a book that I read in 4th grade in the 90s. It was about a 9 year old girl who was nervous about turning double digits because she thought she couldn’t do things she liked anymore, like climb up the inside of doorframes in her house. Then someone older, maybe her mom or aunt (I don’t remember who), showed her that she could still climb up the doorframe. I know it’s not a lot to go on, but any help would be appreciated!

There was a middle school aged mystery book I read where this girl is blind and she and her mom were out grocery shopping. The teenage FMC was laying in the back of her mom's car when car thieves took the car, not knowing she was in the back. They took her back to their cabin where they realized they had kidnapped a blind girl. She stays at the cabin for the majority of the book with 3(?) male kidnappers. She falls in love with one of them and I think they end up together at the end when she is saved.

I think the MC’s name is Marcie and she tries out to be a cheerleader and has an older sister named Claire. She starts dating a boy named Brendan which I think is the Mayor’s son. She also has an older brother and she feels invisible to her parents because she is not as accomplished as her siblings. I think it is a book from the 90’s? Please help!

2 girls on the cover, one blonde one that I don’t remember much about, one with black hair that was wearing green and black striped socks. Moved to a new town with a new school, played on the soccer team, there’s a big spooky castle school in the distance which housed faries, ended up having to save something. I believe there was a dancing scene where they got stuck in a farie circle I read it in grade 4/5 ish

that may not be the exact plot, but I had to read this book in the early 2000s and I remember it having a girl who is afraid of going to the doctor to get shots and her grandma takes her on a tour of the different disease you can get when you don’t get your shots. The girl was hiding in a treehouse I think before her grandma came up to find her. It’s like she almost took her on a tour inside the human body? And showed her different viruses and what they can do to your body.

I don't remember much detail, just that the main characters are regular schoolkids rescuing a princess in outer space who's in a cursed sleep or something? And when she's awake or rescued (can't remember exactly), she's kinda mean or at least I thought so as a kid. She used her meanness for good though - there's a character called Hannah(?) who gets nervous and bad at catching when playing sports so bullies call her "Butterfingers" and during the story she gets more confident and better at catching and at one point a bully drops something and the princess calls her Butterfingers.

I remember the book cover was the space princess (I'm vaguely remembering she looked kinda like Isabella from Phineas and Ferb but taller with longer hair) and outer space as the background. I think the font had a fun wacky vibe and bright green but I'm not entirely sure.

im pretty sure it's part of a series. from what i remember, she works for her parents who she doesn't like, and she wears the shirt of their business to school inside out because she doesn't want to represent them. they get mad at her about it. the genre is fantasy i think; what i just described is the "normal world". the only other thing i can remember is the male protagonist has a magic pouch that he can put essentially infinite stuff in.

Hi, I’m looking for a book I read in Highschool, I’m pretty sure it had a bright pink cover with a headless barbie doll on it, about 400 pages I’d guess. I remember that it was quite futuristic with a lot of technology being used by the protagonist, like fancy wardrobes and makeup etc. It was a boarding school type setting where the girls were trained in different paths for society, and I distinctly remember the frequent use of the word “courtesan” as I had to look it up as a teenager to know what it meant!

A part of the plot I recall is that in one scene they were introduced to a variety of boys and had to take them into a box and interact with them and do different tasks, to help establish what path they would take, and the protagonist caught feelings for the boy and tried to kiss him, or possibly did.

I’m pretty sure she ended up being forced into taking a different path to what she had wanted to, but other than that most of the plot is lost to me.

I really really appreciate any help finding it as I’ve searched all over and nothing that has come up had jogged my memory! I only read it once as I’d borrowed it from a friend but I really remember enjoying it and would love to revisit it as an adult. Thanks in advance for any help! ☺️

This was a book I loved in upper elementary school and checked out from the library several times. Here are the details I can remember:

A woman is trying to write a book but needs a dedicated space to get her work done. She rents out the shed/chicken coop at the house of a reclusive old woman, using this as her work space. When it gets too cold out, she comes into the old woman’s house to work, setting up in an unused room.

All the spooky/scary really starts once she moves inside. I don’t remember those specifics but it was something along the lines of people suspecting the old lady was some kind of undead/monster/zombie/ghost thing.

I also remember a moment where the woman was in a bedroom of the house and she touched the quilt/bedspread on the bed, which fell apart beneath her fingers due to age.

I don’t remember if the book was ever in hardcover. I always checked out a paperback. Thanks for any help that you all can give me!

Basically there's this story of this family who's living in this little chunk of earth left since all of it was submerged underwater, and the only survivors left were sailing over the massive ocean. The mother hung out the laundry every day, and the laundry itself acted as the sails for guiding the earth chunk over the water. The earth chunk also had a house and a tree with a tiny treehouse on it as well. This story is and in Italian and i remember virtually nothing about this book other than the illustrations, which i remember vivdly. I'm going crazy for this one, it's been a few months since I've been searching this but i always ended up nowhere, i hope y'all are able to help me

what's that book about this boy who is fat and really good at cooking. He basically cooks and bake. He likes this girl who is his friend, but is too insecure to tell her because of his weight. She only sees him as a friend, so she ask him to cook for her party, which he does. Then at the end I think he gets accepted into a culinarily school or show because he's like really good.

Hi I'm looking for a book I read years ago, please see details:

Based in America, a Mother drops her troubled daughter off at a ranch that the mothers friend owns (Ranch owner is called Rose) She has 2 daughters I think (both names after flowers) and a Son called Jesse, she ends up falling for Jesse but is also pulled towards the not so good cowboy that lives in his caravan (Last name is Black) Can't quite remember the plot!

Memory is a bit hazy so can't remember a lot of details but id like to re-read it if anyone could help? Thanks

I read a chapter book in middle school about 15 years ago that I believe had a purple sunset on the cover. There was a group of kids that found an abandoned bus in the woods, it wasn’t a thriller, pretty sure it had some sort of magic in the book? It was about 300 pages long if I remember correctly. I know this is very vague but it’s been haunting me for years. Help please 😂

Written in the forties or fifties. Set at the turn of the century -1920. A British doctor/ scientist is involved in work he believes to be unethical. It's animal experimentation. Unhappy, he takes off to the third world and builds a hospital/ sanctuary for people with infectious diseases, primarily leprosy. Name of the book is one word, the surname of the protagonist... Something like 'Barrington'. Help me out!

I'm looking for a book I read around 2020-2022 im pretty sure it was released around that same time frame, it’s adult fiction romance. The FMC and MMC along with his deceased wife were all best friends, if im remembering correctly they all went to school together . The wife had a pre existing health condition. I remember they went on hikes together the premise of the book was really them navigating her death while also coming to terms with the fact that there had been something between them for years that they both chose to ignore, because what they wanted above all else was her happiness, some time after her death, the FMC and MMC shared a kiss. The FMC basically ran away from her feelings and cut off all contact. They eventually ran into each other a few years later and realized they had feelings for each other. The wife left a letter for the FMC that she reads toward the end of the book, basically saying she knew they would end up together. I know this isn't a lot to go on, but if anyone might know, please help me. Lol, I've been looking for it for the last year now!

All I remember is a couple is either looking for some artifact in the story or on some quest, and one of the trials or something is they get sucked into this music box and the ballerina turns giant and they have to keep dancing for x amount of minutes to complete it. And once the music starts doors start opening with things trying to kill them, and the guy gets dragged into one of the doors but she finishes what she’s supposed to do in time to save him and get him out

Ugh it’s killing me! I know it has to be a YA maybe, definitely a fantasy book made in the last 10 years. PLZ HELP lol

This has bugged me for YEARS-- I was probably nine or ten when I read it (so 2004-2005 ish) but I was a precocious reader so it may have been earlier. It was a kid's fantasy novel or chapter book, English language. The main character was a kitchen serving boy who befriended a princess? There may have been magic or the kitchen servant may have been a magic apprentice. The princess may actually have been the daughter of a court wizard or some other lord? She was someone important's kid-- and she was obsessed with blazoning heraldry (describing a heraldic coat of arms, ex. "Argent, two chevrons and a canton gules") and spent a lot of time teaching the main character about it. The adults in the castle were up to something nefarious having to do with the buying and selling of chewing gum, and I remember the line "You can chew it and chew it but it never chews up" or something to that effect.

Thanks very much in advance!
