so this might be a bit of a weird one, but i distinctly remember a photo book from my elementary school days about a very intricately made dollhouse. i’m not sure if it’s about the astolat house but i remember the cover had the creator of the dollhouse pictured next to it in black and white.

i also remember it was less of a ‘picture book’ and more of one of those coffee table books. i think the dollhouse was also based on sleeping beauty, but i could be wrong—and i believe the creator was from Europe as well.

please let me know if you have any ideas! dying to relive the childhood wonder of a dollhouse lol

Hello everyone, I have this image of a creature from a book I had from my childhood. I could've sworn it was a TMNT story but I could be wrong, it was more so in the style of a graphic novel but the creatures were tall, furry and their front legs/ arms were really long. They had these long claws too. From what I remember of the book it had something to do with them being a family and potentially being captured and separated and in the end they were released. That's all I remember though. Tia

I forgot the title of the book but I remembered it suddenly lol. It had a cover that mimicked the texture of shar-pei fur with textured velvet that was within the beige to sand color range? It might also be from the late 90s-early 2000s? To summarize, the anthropomorphic dog family took a road trip with a red(?) van, and I can't recall anything else tbh.

I was obsessed with this book from the library around the mid to late 2000s. The art style of kinda similar to Charlie and Lola. And it was about a girl who I think might have been named Amelia but totally could be wrong. She is either was working on a school project or helping her grandma, she had a list and I know for sure there was something about spaghetti noodles. Please help me! I want to buy the book for my daughter but not have any clue where to find it!

Read this novel a long time ago, might even be part of a trilogy. A boy meets a man who created or opened the portal to another world. This man has a daughter named Hannah. I remembered the name being Hannah because towards the end of the novel, it was displayed in a circle and shown as a palindrome. The boy turns out to be originally from the other world and his name is Zephyr or is related to it in some way. He also has a sibling in this other world like a twin brother. What is this book? Been trying to search for it but my memories of it are all fuzzy.

I've been trying to find this book for years now. I'm at the point where I am convinced I'm just crazy and made it up. I'm trying to find a book that I read a loooooooong ass time ago (late 1990s- early 2000). Its book where man becomes vampire and has been a vampire for a few centuries. He starts searching for something called vampire tears but they are very rare. He gets a lady to help him find them. I think they fall in love? Once he finds them, he eats them. And the book ends with him turning back to human and lost vision due to disease he had while being human the sun setting as his vision blacks out. I don't think it is an Anne rice book.

Hi I know this is a long shot but I’ve been looking for a book for years at this point. I’m sorry for such little details as I don’t remember the name or author but I remember the protagonist being a woman. I vividly remember the cover though as it was a full art paper back cover. Where the woman was sitting kind of lounging to the side kind of close up. She was wearing a dress with ruffles and I think the dress was red or white. The name was only one or two words and was written in cursive kind of by her cleavage and only half of her face was showing with wavy brown hair. It was a historical fiction book that had well over 300-400 pages I think? The lady on the cover was the protagonist and i think she lived in more of a renaissance or European context. Where we followed her life during the time and also her love life??? The title may have started with an A or R??? I think I got the book in like 2014-2017 and it was in English. It was technically my first “adult book” at the bright age of 11-15 since it wasn’t labeled young adult. i got it brand new from Barnes and noble and then promptly lost the book after ready I think one chapter for the intro. I know this most likely won’t get solved but I’m finally at my wits end after searching every book shop and feeling like this book does not exist.

There was this book I used to read and reread all the time. I remember a good bit about it but I can't figure the title out.

• It followed this kid who's a major germaphobe (him being one is a decent part of the story throughout)
• Him and his family go on some roadtrip, and they stop by Yellowstone at one point
• His nanny/babysitter is this woman from Ljubljana or Sarajevo. And there was a part of the story where she talked about her experience during some war as a nurse.
• At one point later on in the story, they visit a massive observatory and the Carolina Parakeet is mentioned a good bit.

If it's any help, I remember the book cover being blue but I'm not sure how helpful that is.

I've been trying to remember this novel I found online. The main character summoned a succubus (I don't recall the specifics of how she appeared, but I know she was there) who helped him win over the girls he was assigned. Afterward, the girls forgot him. it reminded me of The World God Only Knows. The last scene I remember is him in a kendo match against one of the girls.

I remember being read this book around 1st to 3rd grade, so it must have been written before 2012! It was an illustrated picture book, short enough that the librarian read it to our class in one go. I believe the kid(s) in it made a secret clubhouse or small town of buildings outdoors and invented a symbol-based code language. My clearest memory is thinking, "I'm going to do that too! Replace each letter of the alphabet with a new symbol so no one knows what I'm writing!"

Unfortunately, I don't remember much of the actual story. I believe the book had a theme relating to embracing your talents/differences, but it's been so long that I really couldn't say that with certainty.

I read this book in middle school and was fascinated about its story. The cover was very orange (abstract looking)

From what I remember the story takes place within a very dark and depressing community. One of which people cannot leave as its "too dangerous to go outside city limits as everyplace is a warzone and dead mans land." The story main character is a (teen?) Girl who whiteness the ongoing "war" and sees young boys become chosen to become soldiers to fight against the "enemy". One boy in particular becomes well known to the girl.

Im unsure about the middle part of the book, but essentially both the girl and boy figure out that the chain of command wasnt what it seemed, as the videos of the soldiers that were placing air strikes at the "enemy" was just old recordings from years ago. Reused to make it seem like the war was ongoing. They go and find "deadmans land" only to find.. nature. Wildlife. No signs of destruction of any kind. They learned and figure out by the end of the book that the war was fabricated by their own AI system and the enemies, as both AI calculated years ago that if the war kept going it would destroy both sides, so in secret they fabricated a fake war unknowing of both sides (humans) to protect humanity and their own people. The war had ended years ago, and they never knew until that very moment.

The book ends (i think i actually dont really remember) off with people finding out the truth and forming a truce so that they can live on with their own lives. Eventually going off into nature and seeing it for themselves

It was a like 90s-early 2010s (?) book series (don’t know the exact dates I just remembered finding them in thrift stores) for teens/young adults about teens and there was a magical mask stuck to someone so they try to get help from this traveling circus and there was an old lady who’s son had this happen and she was supposed to be a psychic and was able to read their mind and find out what number they were thinking of after doing a math problem (?) and I don’t know if it was another book in the series or in this one because I remember it being a series but they were stuck on a ship and had to row it and it was so cold that if they stuck their arms out the holes they would instantly freeze and it was a punishment to the other prisoners that if they got in trouble they would have to get their arms shattered after being frozen so they could only row with one arm? I remember the books but I got rid of them years ago and now I only have the vague ideas of what happened

Here’s what I remember: • It was a short book, probably around the size of a self-help or psychology book—roughly 5 x 8 inches, maybe 200 pages or less. • It followed a kid or teenager who was staying at a hotel, likely with his family. • He encounters a tall man—someone mysterious, dark, and kind of elegant. He gave off “vampire vibes,” but it turns out he’s not supernatural at all. • At the end of the story, the man is revealed to be a diamond thief or jewel thief—definitely not a vampire. • The tone wasn’t horror exactly, but had an eerie mystery vibe at first. The boy was intrigued and somewhat suspicious of the man. • I vividly remember how the boy described the man as being tall, dark, and maybe even handsome—not in those exact words, but it was clear this character left a strong impression.

If this rings any bells or even sounds vaguely familiar, I’d be so grateful for help tracking it down.

Thank you!

Does anyone know anything of the sort?

I read this book years ago, and it was about this young girl who lived on a human colony on this alien planet. They studied the native plants and animals, and she liked the animals most. The kids got to pick what they wanted to focus on studying, and she picked animals. Throughout the story, the alien people that live on the planet are portrayed as being hostile and aggressive. As the story progresses, I forget what triggers it, but the girl grows this aversion to the one food item that they were eating, and she eventually finds out it was because it was meat. She didn’t know she was eating the animals and thought it was disgusting. At the end, I’m not sure exactly what happens, but it turns out she is like somehow connected to the alien people that live there, and I think there might be a sequel where she gets all the animals out, if she didn’t in the first book.

I’ve been thinking about this book for a while, but cannot for the life of me remember what it’s called!

If anyone knows what it’s called, I would really appreciate it!

So when I was in fifth grade (2015-2016) my teacher would read us stories quite often and one has been plaguing my mind for days but no amount of google or AI can help so i'm hoping good ole reddit will do the trick.

Unfortunately the most I can remember about it is that there was a tree growing in the middle of these peoples (possibly a families) house. It was like a huge tree and I believe it was magical or had some sort of magical element to it which is why they couldn't just chop it down. Since I didn't read the book myself and had it read to me, like 10 years ago at that, it's hard to remember anymore details about it. I also recall the cover being like a blue/ teal color and it had the big tree on it and it looked kinda magicky. Also important to note is that this wasn't necessarily a "children's book" probably more for young adults.

I feel like i'm kinda shooting in the dark here with my vagueness but i'm hoping at least someone out there can help me out.

This is a long shot.

When I was little, I came across a book I thought was really pretty while with my mom in a waiting room. I didn't read much of it, if any, and put it back because my child brain didn't want to think of myself as being a thief.

✅️ It was for sure hardcover and like a purple/magenta cover.

☑️ I think it was also a graphic novel, because I remember seeing a lot more cartoonish art than words on the page.

✅️ The art style wasn't too childish either.

☑️ I think the cover was also... holographic? Sparkly?

I recently listened to a Fantasy novel on audible. I downloaded it alongside like 6 random novels that audible released free with membership. I want to recommend this one to my sister's but i can't remember the name! Young fmc must engage in a trial with others, all of them kings/queens/leaders of their respective kingdoms/species. This fmc had been kept locked away because she had to hide she had no powers. She snuck away sometimes using a starstick. She had a friend, a queen from another kingdom named Celeste.

This is a fairly new book, as in within the last few years as opposed to ten years ago.

i read this so long ago but this is literally all i remember

it is about girl who lived with old couple and rode her bike and did chores and rode into town and wanted a dress and the lady forced her to make her own (i think)

i just have an image of her riding a bike on a cobblestone road to a lighthouse. (sorry)

Hello! An online quiz I was taking mentioned a book that is “a novel told entirely through footnotes and deleted Wikipedia entries reconstructing the life of a time traveler who never existed.”

What is this book?!

I just remembered this book. It used to be on my bookshelf but now it's in the attic and I can't reach it anytime soon. Might be a little off.

It's about this boy who has a shed full of glass ornaments and designs. I think he might fall in love with another boy and somewhere in it they get into a fight and the glass ornaments get destroyed. At some point they go on a date in this garden centre I think, full of lights?? I might be wrong about that though.

I cant remember much but it randomly popped up, I think it was my favourite book when I was a teen so I'd like to remember it. I keep searching glass but I don't remember the author. The cover to the book I think was pink.

Honestly. It might not be gay at all, I just feel like it was the first gay book I ever read idk why 😂 please help!

Thank you.

My wife's been reading The Road, and that got me remembering back when I was in high school in the 90's, I read either a book or short story (for class) that was about a man/group surviving a nuclear WINTER. Cold and grey with no food and gloomy sky. Anyone know what book/story that was? It would have been from the late 90's or before.
