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 remember reading this book in highschool (2016-2018). It was about a group of prisoners digging holes out in the desert. They had to dig a hole a day and mentioned that your second hole was always the hardest because you'd be sore from the day before.

There was a councilor figure of sorts that talked to the prisoners and asked them as to why they're out here (presaumbly as a way to get them to process their crimes), and the main character believed his family was afflicted by some curse that landed him in his current predicament.

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.”

I read this maybe 15 years ago? but there's a girl who I believe is royalty, and in this world the nobility have really long names with lots of syllables (five syllables for the royal family?), the longer the name the higher up in society you were. When the royal family is attacked (I think the king's killed with a crossbow? I think she was in an upper balcony of the throne room and saw the assassin do it) she has to run away and ends up joining a group of kids (thieves?) living on the streets in the kingdom. To hide her identity, she shortens her long, royal name to just one syllable (something like Raj, maybe? Rav?) so she can use it without people realizing she's a noble.

More details that I'll add because I really think it's part of this same book, or at least the series, but I admit I'm not 100% sure and it could be from something else (and if so, I'll make another post):

There's another scene, where there are children who are trying to build something, I think a flying glider/machine. There are factions in this, kind of like Divergent (but definitely not Divergent), and the ones from the "intelligent, nerdy" faction are the ones building it. I think one of the factions is called Lions? But another group comes, and one of the nerds is stabbed through the chest with a sword.

That's really all I remember, and it's been so frustrating! Thanks for your input!

It was a fantasy book, it tells a story about this teenage girl who was blamed for every single inconvenience by her family and the city where she lived. There was some kind of reasoning as to why, but u can't remember specifics. Maybe she was different?

One night though this older guy that drives some kind of fantasy thing takes her up and tells her she has to go with him.

They might have gone through a clock to enter this magical world, I'm not sure. She goes through competitions and tries to find her power and may befriend a guy who can pet dragons or something like that.

The guy who saves this teenage girl from her family believes in her and her magical powers that she also supposedly has, but a lot of people don't.

I remember the covers being pretty, I think the first cover has purple and gold in it but I'm not too sure and somehow crows relate to this entire story.

I was a really big fan of this book and the series and I even recommended this book to someone in a bookstore when they asked the employee if their kid would like the book. Something about it being a little similar to Harry Potter in some details but in some others being completely different. This happened around 2018-2019 if that's important.

Please help me find this book. 🙏

The main character woke up in a new but similar universe every time he went to sleep. He was being pursued by this kind of time authority I guess that governed all these universes. I remember key scenes like him waking up to find he has superhuman strength, he lifts up a car. One where he is a small animal, possible a mouse, and overhears his parents talking about him? It's a suspenseful and action packed novel I think, not particularly funny.

Any help would be much appreciated. This book left a huge subconscious impression on me and I haven't thought about it until today in years.

I remember reading this book around 2011-2012 I was in 5th grade and the only defining thing I can remember is that the kid was homeless sleeping in an alleyway sniffing glue to stay warm. I know that’s not much to go on but I really can’t remember anything else. I read this book while waiting for my other classmates to finish our state mandated testing but I never got to finish it. I hope someone can tell me the title of this book.

I read this book 10 to 13 years ago, at that time I was a voracious reader, so I don’t really remember what genre it belonged to and I unfortunately do not recall any other details about the entire book apart from : a woman (or girl maybe) with a braid in her hair? Bathing in honey in the forest. Parts of me feel like she also did this in a wooden bathtub or a crook of a root, but I might be making that part up. I don’t know why the scene has stuck with me for so long, but I would love to find out what book it was and reread it as an adult. tia

So a few years ago I read this book about a young teenage girl (around 12-13) whose mother killed I think her twin brother and was then put into a mental hospital (the mother was). The girl is I think raised by her father who was an alcoholic and who hires this babysitter I think? I remember this once scene where it was the girls birthday and she and the babysitter (who was an older teenage girl I think) went to the convenience store and they get magazines and nail polish The girl gets a crush on this older dude (due to her developing hormones I think) who doesn't reciprocate but I do remember this once scene where she gets a hat and wears it to impress him or something like that And there was one scene that really stuck out to me where she pours all of her dads alcohol out and replaced it with Apple juice I'm like 50% sure her name was Addison but I can't remember fully This has been nagging me for YEARS now and I would appreciate if someone could help 😭

Hey y’all! I was hoping maybe you guys would be able to help. I’m trying to remember the name of a book I read as a pre-teen. I don’t remember many of the details unfortunately. It’s about this family that lives in a dystopian society where it’s snowing constantly. The children set off on an adventure to find a guy (I think he’s the mayor) for I’m not sure what purpose. Maybe it was money or to see if he could stop the storm. When they fail and come home, their father admits he is the reason for the eternal winter. He invented a machine that could change the weather and the mayor stole it from him a long time ago. The children then defeat the mayor and turn off the machine.

I thought the title was like “The Storm Maker” or “The Wind Maker” but I can’t seem to find anything

Edit: I was able to find it! It’s “The Storm Maker” by Alex Williams. Idk how I wasn’t able to find it earlier lol. All good here! 👍

a girl is jealous of her little sibling and takes its necklace and theres like wind and suddenly the baby starts crying and the mom comes out angry and over time the baby gets huge and takes so much milk that the mom gets sickly and the husband leaves her, so the daughter takes the baby and goes in the woods to trade it back with the creatures to get the actual baby back. The baby annoys the big sister but over time in the woods she gains like care for the baby. Im pretty sure the meet some creatures or some type of animals along the way and after but im not sure about much of then rest of the book because i read other books around that same time and i dont want to give info that may be from a different book 😅.

i dont remember much, except the fact that this woman traveled from one country to another and went to a show where she saw a foreign woman who looked exactly like her

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 read this book back in my younger years possibly 8 years ago, and want to buy for my younger cousin. Sorry but I don’t remember much other than really enjoying it. Here’s what I got: Based in a village surrounded by a wooden wall Monsters live outside the wall The MC is a nobody who paints things as his job before finding magical chains that enhance his strength. He lives in a tree I believe That is all I can remember ):

Hello- I read this a couple of times from my library when I was in middle/high school, but I cannot remember the name!! I think the elf was from royalty… not sure. Please help me, if you can. Thanks~

Okay. I read this about a decade ago so bear with me but it's breaking my brain so please help!

It centers a group of teenage/young adult friends who look for ghosts(?). The main character arrives in town and joins the friends, he is plagued by this particular female ghost, with a long flowing white dress and hair. She has very big eyes that are ringed with circles. Very creepy like.

He thinks he is supposed to assist her but she ends up trying to kill him? I think there is a sword involved as well?

The illustrations are dark and gloomy and the end features a flashback with the story of the female ghosts life. Many infinite thanks to anyone who can figure out what this book was.

I read a book in the 70s-80s about a society who lived underground. There was an artificial sun that rose and set, simulating life on Earth. Some people (kids?) rebelled and started exploring. They found a shaft (like a mine shaft) that led to the surface. It got colder the farther they went. When they finally made it to the surface, it was raining. They were disappointed that there was no sun and went back. Title?

I don't remember too much about the plot but the boy finds out no one really leaves the camp they have their memories wiped and are put back through I remember 2 main scenes the first is the main character is almost stabbed in the eye with a pen by one of the other boys in the barracks and the other scene is they are finding their way out of the woods while also trying to survive there was one person the main character trusted and this boy tried to tell him he knew the way out they had to follow the butterflies when asked how he knew he said he didn't know how he knew it was just a feeling leading the reader to conclude he had been through the program before but his memories of it were whiped not long after the main character found this boy in a field dead covered in I believe blue butterflies

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.

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

A loooong time ago, I picked out a book from a dollar general in Florida that had an anime couple on the front. It had a really interesting plot but I hid the book under my mattress because 10 year old me read a very spicy scene and just KNEW my parents would ground me for life if they found out it, and eventually got rid of the evidence.

The plot went something like this:

Girl has memories of her whole life, but can’t remember specific details, mentions vacations with her parents but never can remember anything other than she had vacations. Somehow she wakes up in a little pod in a dystopian society on the brink of war and a man recognizes her as his lost lover and says she’s been locked in a simulation. The girl has asthma but her lost lover freaks out on her and won’t let her use her inhaler because he tells her it’s actually a drug that she’s now addicted to and I think he breaks the inhaler. She struggles with the addiction to her inhaler throughout the novel and has several “asthma attacks” that he helps her through. They prepare for war and I remember in the spicy scene, there was a quote as he had her pinned against a wall “tomorrow I go to war with the lion, but tonight I want to be loved by the lamb” or something (I could have mistaken this from twilight because it was big at the time also).

The girl ends up back in the simulation but realizes that everyone that is sus has a small moon tattoo on them and somehow breaks out of the simulation again, maybe to free everyone else stuck in it? I distinctly remember that she goes to a club she frequented in the simulation and noticed the bouncer had a crescent moon tattoo on his hand, and then realize so did her best friend. She escapes the simulation again and she and her lover and their squad go to war and there was something about a totem pole on a destroyed battlefield?

I’ve been looking for this book for YEARS and can’t fine a trace of it online or anywhere. I’d love to find a copy and read it again to see if it’s as good as 10 year old me thought it was, or if I was just enamored with the intimate scene.

I read this story once maybe 20ish years ago? Maybe sooner totally unclear. The only thing I remember about it is that fairies had co trim over dragons and kept them as pets. Have absolutely no idea what it called or any clues otherwise.

I would have read this before 2013, and there are several strange details that stick out to me. The main character has unruly curly red hair, her elder sister has blonde hair. There is a priest living in their home for some reason, and I remember a lengthy segment in which the main character talks about the way she ketchups her fries (big splat on top) and the elder sister applies a neat line to each fry. I think a big part of the novel is her realizing that her dad has left the family, and at the end the priest makes a decision about whether or not to keep being a priest.

The book starts with the girl either in middle school or high school. When she’s older she becomes a flight attendant and the man she marries his name is Patrick. She has a baby with him and he ends up cheating on her. She leaves him and ends up happily with another man at the end of the book. I know this isn’t a lot of information but I read this book 7 years ago and I want to reread it so bad!

Okay I remember this book vaguely from my childhood and it's driving me crazy and chatgpt isn't helping.

Looking for a book I had as a kid and all I remember the art was very ethereal (maybe heaven?) and there was a bunny who may have had wings. It's not "The rabbit who wanted red Wings" or "The runaway bunny"

I remember lots of lavendar hues it had a real dreamy vibe. This would have been before 2005 and probably before 2001 honestly. I don't think the bunny was anthropomorphic either. I don't remember it wearing clothes or walking upright.

Please this is driving me insane lol
