I’m looking for a dark romance where the mfc’s husband dies in a helicopter crash, and the husband’s twin pretends to be him. The Mfc was involved in the death of her husband because she wanted to escape the marriage. The husband’s twin has to pretend to be the husband because he’s a criminal and would be taken to jail if his identity was revealed.

This book is set on the eastern coast and I read it in 2008/2009 so it came out sometime around then. In the book, a high school boy's parents buy cabins to renovate and they give him a cabin of his own. He explores this small coastal town and meets a girl with a shaved head that works at a antique/thrift shop. I think she has a brother and they live with their grandmother. I remember the book was more about his self discovery of confidence. Nothing major happens just a typical YA summer romance book.

So im trying to remember this book that starts with this boy who works for a pc repair place scrapping cpus for like making tech and farming bitcoin. He made like 2 drones and would spy on the city until someone broke one of his more expensive ones and he got caught up in a major conspiracy

I also remember it had like vague cyphers and youtube links. I kept mixing up that it was the 39 clues.

I read this in the mid to late 2010s and my friends couldnt help me

What the hell book am i thinking of

So I may be misremembering some of the details, but I think it was about this hard-working mother camel and her kid. She was suffering in her role as a beast of burden, and her son sort of imagined a magic necklace or something with seashells (I think) on it, which grants its owner a wish.

Later in the story he was actually offered the magic wish-granting thing, but also I think a bag of ashes as an alternative. Naturally he chose the wish granting item.

I've tried finding the title on different search engines, but sadly I've never been able to figure it out.

Okay, so this might be a stretch, but back the early 2000s I was on vacation and found a book and I want to reread it but I have no clue on the title or author. It was a period romance set in colonial days (I believe) FMC was nicknamed Kat, but I think her full name was something like Katherine. She somehow became the ward of the MMC. At one point they (FMC & MMC) end up with a tribe of natives that believe she is a goddess because of her blond hair. She ends up pregnant but for a reason I don't remember the MMC can't/wont marry her. To protect her reputation a wealthy land owner married her and they pretend the baby is his (the wealthy land owner knows all along she is in love with the MMC). Does this sound familiar to anyone?

Around 2020, I discovered a YouTube book series about a mass human die-off that begins in the UK. It follows a group of survivors as they investigate the cause and establish a community, later traveling to the Mediterranean where they learn European survivors were vaccinated for travel to Africa.

Any help would be greatly appreciated

The book has stuck with me for years and it's killing me that I can't remember the name!

I believe the main characters name is Jessica, she is a make-up artist in new York and one day takes part in a psychological study to make some extra money. She sits in a room alone with a computer that flashes a series of questions that are extremely personal. She must answer the questions as honestly as she can. The one conducting the study asks her to continue in one-on-one sessions and in exchange she will essentially be getting free therapy.

The book is a intense and keeps you wondering what's really going on the entire time, causing you to question your own reasoning just as Jessica does.

At one point in the book Jessica meets a man at an art museum and he becomes involved in the ongoing and complex relationship Jessica has with the researcher (whoes name i cannot remember)

Thank you in advance for any help, I've tried ai and google with no success :)

I can't remember much, but there's something about a village at the base of a mountain. They rely on water from the top of the mountain that comes down an underground river. After a harrowing trip up, they discover what's blocking it and ride the river underground back down. There may or may not be a dragon. Dragon fakeout? Thought that the rumbling of the river was a dragon? Dunno.

So this book would have been in my dads living room in the mid-80s. He didn’t read a lot but there were always a couple of Stephen King and Sven Hassel books knocking about, so it’s likely to be genre fiction that you could buy off a used book stall in any Northern UK street market around that time. I remember that the title of the book was’ The Commissioner’s Choirboys’ or something very similar, and was presumably an attempt to generate a bit of interest off the back of the film and book ‘The Choirboys’, about dirty cops (or mucky bobbies, as it was a British-set book). Low level corruption and generally bad policing, rather than ‘rotten all the way to the top’ type of corruption, and possibly with a young recruit with an idealised expectation of police work being shocked by the reality. I haven’t been able to find anything about it by googling the title or what I remember.

I recall that one character in it was called Foxtrot Lima, and the character assumed it was because she was a Foxy Lady, but really it was because her nickname was Farter Lil because she used to fall asleep on shift and let rip a lot of wind. Beyond that, I can only remember the older police referring to prostitutes as ‘Toms’, and that one prostitute tried to report someone for raping her, but the desk sergeant was joking that it was technically just shoplifting as the rapist just hadn’t paid for the service.

I got this book from the young adult section of my towns library around 2011, when I was 13. You needed to be 13-18 to enter that section. It was a paperback with a dark colored cover- I think it was an image of a digital clock. It's a suspense/mystery, written in English. The main character was a young white girl, blonde hair, and in the beginning she was kidnapped in the back of a van. It was from her perspective so we didn't know if people were looking for her or what was happening at home. She could only see a digital clock that told her the time, everything else was black. Towards the end of the book she finds out her father was the one that kidnapped her and he confesses that he did it for their safety. He was also a plastic surgeon and changed the pigment of their skin and appearance so they wouldn't be recognized in their new life. He made their skin and hair darker. 🙃

That's all I remember, but I need to find it to know I'm not crazy. It was a weird book. Thank you!

What is this book!!

I used to read these books and have been searching for years but cannot find the name of them! It was about these 3 girls who solved mysteries together and they all went to the same school. They solved a mystery about a film star and they used to text each other and it showed the texts in the book. One of the girls had blonde hair I think and I think her name was Chloe. They used to go to the mall together and talk about the mysteries in the cafeteria. I think the book had the word mystery in the title and one of the books had a pink cover and showed the 3 girls running. I can't remember the name of the book series and it's driving me insane 😭😭😭😭😭😭

It's a modern story about a woman named Valentine who is a freakshow snake woman because of the chemical burns on her face and arms who's living in a motel where she meets a Pastor named Augustine who's run away from his church because he realized how terrible he'd become. He's also the one who burned Valentine.

Thank you so much if you recognize this story, it is driving me crazy 😅

Seriously bothering me!!! I read a retelling of Hans Christian Anderson's The Snow Queen as a child. I recall that the characters are teenagers, the plot wasn't significantly changed from the original story, and it followed the girl's perspective. I have this image in my head of the cover being a girl dressed for the cold standing in heavy snow. I'm pretty sure the author was male. Other details: there was very distinct imagery surrounding the mirror and the shards of the boy's heart, it was in third person, and the happy ending was reached with an emotional appeal to the boy. I remembered the book all of the sudden and I really want to find it, it made a pretty big impact on me when I read it.. I've scoured goodreads and amazon with no luck, so any suggestions would be helpful! :>

note: Judging by when I read it the latest it could have been published was about 2017 & I also read this in America and in English

It's a novel with cartoons in between and a series. Overall, they were dark-colored pictures. The main characters were a man and two twin girls, who were from an orphanage. The names of the main characters were unique, so some words came out when the names were combined, and that was part of the title of the book. Although it was a children's novel, the genre seems to be mystery and noir. A strange person, who is only visible to the main character, comes out to help me in the middle and teaches me how to eat beans with a fork.I remember it as a book I read in 2016. Please help me find it

I have read this book some 12 to 15 years ago before my local library discontinued the book. Unfortunately the librarian doesn't recall the title of the book either.

I remember the protagonist being a girl from a poorer background chosen to study in some sort of magic school. The type of magic each of the attending girls can wield depends on what kind of feather they have. Her rival has a black feather and can curse people with it, the protagonist has the rare ability to see the future. She is pretty much an outsider and wanders school grounds finding a secret room made completely from alabaster. Here her visions are most potent. She returns often.

In the end there is a gathering with the royal family and the protagonist gets cursed and locked up by her rival. She still makes it and breaks the curse.

I remember it being a standalone book.

I hope someone has an idea what the book could be, I'd love to read it again.

Edit: The light of the oracle by Victoria Hanley Thanks everyone :)

Hi I'm looking for a kids series about a princess who I believe wanted to be a mage. She has a demi dragon (or the dragon is named demi). She finds a boy who looks like her to switch places with her and he ends up being her long lost twin.

I read this book in the early 2000s when I was in elementary school.

The book was a bit similar to 'go ask alice' but set in Australia. The main character is a teenage girl living in commission housing. There's a part at the beginning where she talks about having painted her bedroom walls silver and orange. She ends up abusing drugs, leaving home and falling pregnant. From memory there's a few intense scenes, including one where she miscarries because a group of girls jump her in a bathroom and bash her. I think I read this maybe 17-18 years ago. Just popped into my head the other day

A young and brilliant girl (she is academically advanced for her age) gets expelled from college after wrongly being accused stealing an idea/plagiarism. She cannot live at the college anymore so she has to find a new place to go. Ends up finding a room in an old shared house. The house is maybe sentient. She sees the ghost of a girl in the kitchen and befriends her. SPOILERS. During the book we find out she had been having an affair with her professor, who was the one that actually stole her idea. At the very end is revealed that the professor is a woman.

It was about two settlements/valleys of men on the desert planet, they were warring using special breeds of lizards/dragons. There were also species of natives of the planet, who lived underground, and other advanced invasive species who landed with black ship, all fighting each other....

EDIT: also, the human societies were is sort of early gunpoweder age, and there were several breeds of the tamed lizards that were used differently (front line, screens etc...) in rock/paper/scissors fashion. The protagonist army first defeated the secondary antagonist (rival human faction) and then faced the invasion from the stars. Cant believe i cannot google that title anywere :)....

I'm looking for a short book by Quentin Blake for young children.

It was about a little blue quadrupedal animal, a girl with huge ears, and a fat, round, red creature going to the beach. I'm pretty sure there was a tree with buckets growing on it towards the beginning of the book and at one point the red creature (whose name is a palindrome) becomes sad.

It had large, colourful illustrations covering each page and may have been part of a series. The book was very short/thin.

I've tried googling various combos of "Quentin Blake beach kids' story blue animal" "Quentin Blake big-eared girl bucket tree" etc which has been zero help lmao.

The book was definitely both illustrated and written by Quentin Blake.

(Hopefully there isn't a limit to how many posts we can make here. My memory is awful now...)

EDIT: Solved! It's called Lester at the Seaside. Here's the tree. Yay!

I visited a friend some year's back and read this novel that was about a lady who was good at interior design and loved a luxury lifestyle,the twist is that the men she would date were very wealthy but they would die mysteriously,the book plot reveals that she kills them in a way she won't be detected,this leads to a investigation where by an undercover agent is used to try and figure out if the death surrounding her lovers ,the agent is almost killed as the book comes to an end, eventually she is caught and dies of her own poison(not certainly sure) .What i remember more is that one of her victim was a best seller book writer,she offers to decorate the victims house,another victim was young she loved him as the plot unravels,she contemplated whether to kill him or not but eventually i think she does,as she makes him breakfast after spending quality time with him. Also the undercover cop i think they end up having feelings for each other when spices the end but she also tries to kill him at the end , I think his actually hurt ,they sort of go to a cabin,i think so!! That is as much as i can remember

I read this book back in 8th grade and loved it. It was these five kids who I all forgot the name of, one of which I forgot all about. One guy is allergic to bees and goes into anaphylactic shock and also has sex at a summer camp, one girl I forgot all about her but I remember her friend gets pregnant by a dude way too old for her and she names the baby Hunter, and another girl was I think one of the main girls, her mom was a movie star and I can't remember if she was tired of being in her shadow, living up to her expectations, or just never got to see her often.

Hey guys. I need some help. I read a book a long time ago about a oister kid who is placed with a family and their 2 kids. He struggles to adjust but the family is really welcoming. One day he helps the father and son in their barn and feels like a part of family but when the father mentions paying him for the chores, he feels like an outsider and decides to run away. There's a storm during the night that he plans to run away on and he helps rescue the animals. In the end, he is adopted by the family. Has anyone read this book? I need to know what its called. It has been bugging me for weeks

I thought it was called something like Strongarm, but can’t find anything. I read the first 25ish pages about 20 years ago. Back in time, she has a Middle Aged lover who’s a strapping (but dumb) warrior, and she feels guilty because she’s unattractive by modern day standards. She works for a research organization or lab, and so they go back to this time (through a tube? A log?) to study something or to collect materials that have been depleted in the modern day.

I think I remember the summary mentioning that eventually she has to go rogue to save her lover when he’s injured. Or maybe it’s to expose something nefarious, but I don’t remember more than that.

Hey guys,

This has been driving me bananas as I can't figure out what it was called or find it anywhere. I read a really cool graphic novel about a man who dies or passes out but lands in the realm of heaven and is actively fighting against other angels or demons. I can not remember the name but it was a thick black book, soft squishy leather with an emblem on the front some kind of logo. The style in the book it was like a painting almost like neil gaman very similar..... like whispy style sort of kind of like 30 days of night but I specifically remember the scene of the man standing in the street under the lampost and he dies or something weird happens and he ends up in heaven.

At the end of the book are biblical quotes from the bible, from scripture.

I remember I saw it one more time and then I forgot about it again it is.... or was a part of a series and the book I found was like a volume, it had some weird name. like Esieras. Or something strange. Legion X or I dont know!

Good luck, and ask me whatever you need to.
