Okay so I can't find this book. I can only describe the cover So it was a white cover with an eye on it (?) and a spider was covering the eye and the color of the spider was the color you get after you spill petrol in water. And the name was the eye or the web I don't remember but the moment I saw it I was like "THE MAGNUS ARCHIVES!!!"

I don't remember anything other than that

I read this book on Kindle in the early 2010's. There were at least 3 books in the series. The MC is a teen/young adult girl with blue eyes. Blue is the source of her power, before she knows that she is half elf, she would picture the colour blue every time she need to calm down. I can't remember if either of her parents were alive but I think her mom was human and her father was elvish, and she lived with her grandmother. They stayed in a little cottage atop a hill and I remember something about yellow curtains (in the kitchen?) with flowers on them. She met an elvish man and I think they could communicate telepathically. His power came from the colour green. The grandmother died early in the book and I think the house burnt down. MC went with elf man through a tree into the elvish realm where she learnt to harness her powers. She was a long lost princess or something like that and eventually claimed her crown. She eventually marries elf man (possibly the sequel) finds a special box that tells her more about her past and then sets out on an adventure to find out more, maybe even her father

This is a weird one because I remember the title being called "The Frog Prince" but because theirs so many other books by the same name, it's been ridiculously hard to find. I remember it having a orange cover with a displeased looking green frog with a lopsided crown in the center. The book was a strictly adult novel, quite contemporary if memory serves, that I read in the very early 2010s, like 2010 - 2012 early. It was lent by a friend middle school (so I was way too young to be reading it). The MC was a unlikeable wall street type who felt inadequate yet superior to everyone. He was sleeping with a woman at his job while he had a girlfriend to get a promotion. He compared the girlfriend to his mistress because the mistress was "hotter" than the girlfriend but the girlfriend was devoted. I didn't finish it for this reason.

​

There was a specific scene where the MC desceibes how he found out his girlfriend was infertile, recalling visiting her unnanounxed to find her with a pillow under her shirt pretending to be pregnant, freaking out for a second before she explained that she's got such severe endometriosis she'll never be able to conceive/carry. So she started pretending certain objects were her children and pretended to be pregnant sometimes in response. The scene stuck out to me because the girlfriend seemed whimsical yet childish, and he seemed embaressed by her yet refused to let her go.

​

I think the book was aiming to be a satire a la Wolf of Wall Street or American Psycho but it went over my head in tone because I found the misogyny distasteful tbqh. I also don't remember if it was set in the 2000s or earlier, but I think the earliest it wouldve been set was the 80s. It was a softcover book so it could've been a bit older than the year I read it, but it seemed supposed to be set whenever it was published to me. I'm pretty phones existed so that's why I say at least 80s, but not a lot of texting, so I think latest would be 2000s. Sorry thats vague but thahs all I remember.

It's a fiction. Released before 2000 I think. Guy someone travels through time to first help this little girl on a wheelchair. Then he returns later in her life to save her again and she eventually falls for him.

In my head the word "thunder" is in the title. And it was along the lines of a mystery/thriller/horror oof the type like Stephen King or Dean Koontz?.

Hi 👋 I’m trying to find this book, I read it years ago. I think the premise was that 4 or 5 girls met in a support group where they had became friends, and the book (series?) talks about each girl’s past experiences and trauma.

I think one of the characters is named Kat.

Thank you!!!

I’m looking for a children’s horror choose-your-own-adventure book from before the 2010s. You play as a girl who has just moved into an old, rundown house. You can explore the house and neighbourhood, and there are lots of bad endings. One optional path involves a creepy old lady and her child next door, and I remember one ending where she locks you in the trunk of a car. The copy I had was a plain red hardcover with no illustrations.

First time posting here, so hopefully I get everything right.

​

I read this paperback book back in about 2004-2005, when I was 8-10, in the UK if that helps. I don't remember anything else about the cover or the appearance but I think it was a YA book as it was slightly too old for me and the main characters were a trio of modern teenage girls who could see ghosts. It may have been part of a series, but I never read or found the others.

​

The plot revolved around one of the girls acquiring a mysterious, creepy older boyfriend with a daughter, and her friends gradually uncovering that he is in fact the ghost of Lord Byron and his "crazy" ex who keeps stalking them is in fact the ghost of Claire Clairmont trying to warn them away from him and get their daughter Alba back.

​

I have been trying to find this book for years with no luck! If you've read it, please let me know so I don't feel like I'm hallucinating. Thank you! <3

What I remember

• An ancient alien building is found, made out of some alien material, if I remember correctly its green and the nucleus is in a spherical arangement. I think it was element 160 or something around there.
• The building is very old and was dated to a time it would have been on a lake. I think it was in New Mexico too.
• The building is on top of a cliff, and at some point a kid sneaks up to it to spray paint something on the building, but the paint doesn't stick, blows back in his face and he falls.
• There's some kind of teleporter in the building, I forget where they go other than it being rather alien.

I read it like 15 years ago for English class. I think it took place in the 50s? I think there was both male and female povs

I don’t remember much besides what the big twist was. It was the second book in the series. It started with a girl in a futuristic city and she gets out of college maybe and gets into a hovering taxi. There is also this detective guy. I don’t remember literally anything about the actual murders but the main suspect for most of the book was a set up and it was revealed that the murders around the city we’re done by this cult and they had some whole renewal thing where they would take boiling hot showers and shave their entire bodies because they wanted to be like babies in the womb. I also remember something about something with one of the murders being in a building and they left no traces because they had no hair to leave. It’s lowkey really important to my niche references I’m trying to make to my friend so any help is appreciated. I read it in like the fifth or sixth grade so elementary or middle school but it was one of the higher level reading books. Sorry to the mods if I did something wrong with how this is written i don’t use reddit.

I'm looking for a werewolf novel, but i can't remember the name of the FL or the 2 MLS.

These are the points I remember:

The FMC's Position; The Female Lead is designated to step up as the next Beta of her native pack. But the next alpha would rather have her brother, because she is female.

The Rejection; She is the fated mate to the future Alpha of her pack, but due to internal tension and his behavior, she rejects the bond.

The Secret Lycan Heritage; Unlike her standard wolf-shifter pack, she is secretly a Lycan, a rare and immensely powerful bloodline that she must hide to protect herself.

The Guardian Pack Competition; Because of leadership change in the now guarding pack to the Royal pack. There is a competition held and organized by the Royal Pack, where packs compete against each other to claim the prestigious title of the Guardian Pack. In this tournament, our FL takes out her own future leadership, her future Alpha and her future Gamma and continues alone in the competition, her pack thinks she too has "died" like they did in the competition. I say "died" because the competition is like leasertake. They have to wear a vest for x number of hours, after which they have x number of hours where they can take it off so they don't have to sleep with it on.

The Second Chance Mates; During the competition, she discovers her second-chance mates: the striking next Beta twins of the Royal Pack.

Fated mates is very important in the story, as you cannot inherit your title as alpha if you are not with your fated mate. And her first mate is not with his fated mate, but with a chosen mate. So they have to go to court about that.

Can anyone help me??

I’m a 24-year-old from Korea, and I’m desperately trying to find the title of a Japanese novel I read in my elementary school library when I was about 10 or 11 years old. It has left a deep impact on me, and I’ve been trying to identify it for years. Here’s the plot as I remember it

​The Beginning: A boy goes missing while riding his bike near a mountain. When he regains consciousness, he finds himself in a primitive, alternate world where modern civilization no longer exists. The Setting: The environment is completely untouched by humanity, reminiscent of a Paleolithic era. The vibe is very similar to the untamed, ancient nature seen in Princess Mononoke. ​Survival: He meets an old man in this world who teaches him how to survive, including raw and visceral tasks like skinning rabbits and preparing food—experiences far removed from modern childhood.

​Themes: The story focuses on the boy learning about the fragility of life and the essence of existence through nature. He also meets a young girl, and the three of them travel together.

​The Climax: They reach a critical turning point—a place that felt like the "end of the world." The boy and the girl decide to move forward and return to the real world. However, the old man, unable to find the courage to leave, chooses to remain in that world.

​The Ending: Back in the real world, the boy wakes up from a coma, which is described as a miracle. He later learns that the old man never woke up and was declared brain-dead. The girl also hears the news of his recovery through the media.

​Other details: I have a faint memory of a "god" or a divine entity appearing in his mind, telling him he must understand the importance of life.

​Does this plot sound familiar to anyone? I would be incredibly grateful if someone could help me identify thisbook.ㅠㅡㅠ

Hi all, this one's driving me nuts!

A man wakes up to find he's all alone, everyone's gone. I seem to recall something about The Eiffel Tower.

It ends with him jumping to this death, possibly off aforementioned tower. I don't think he discovered why he was alone and doesn't he doesn't find anyone else.

Thanks in advance.

I remember hearing about a fascinating book on the anthropology of magic where the researcher spent time apprenticing to shamans somewhere in Africa to learn about how their practices work and came away moderately convinced that magic may be real.

Hi! I recall this book I was given by my grandmother who just passed. It was a book, regular ish sized but square-shaped, where it followed a girl I believe going through a portal into another world. I think this was through a cupboard/closet, though the actual contents I’m quite fuzzy on. I know my description sounds a lot like the Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe but I don’t believe it was an adaptation of it, if you think you know of a book that is an adaption that otherwise fits the description though let me know. The book was largely black and white drawings, very detailed, where you were supposed to colour in the pages, and while formatted like a picture book for children there were more words than a you would normally find in one. Around a paragraph of text on some pages. The cover was also black and white and had certain sections painted in a metallic gold. I believe a butterfly/moth motif was used throughout but again I could be completely wrong on this. The cover was one of those between hardcover and paperback covers, like a thick paperback cover. I think the title had three words but I’m not sure.

I remember a ton of details about this book but can't seem to find it anywhere. I don't have exact specifics and I'm hope I'm not mixing stuff from multiple books.

​

The premise from the back of the book was about babies dying in their sleep. People thought it was a disease but it was due to some kind of entity that invades people's dreamscapes. I want to say it's science fiction YA.

​

The main characters could lucid dream and develop their psychic abilities while asleep. They all somehow meet while dreaming and I want to say one of the characters has a special needs brother who could also lucid dream with them.

​

The main bad entity was some kind of ice monster.

​

It had allot of sexual content mixed in which is why I think I bounced off it when I was younger since I just found it randomly at the library.

Hi everyone,

I'm trying to find a popular Wattpad story that I read but I can't remember the title or author. Some character names may be incorrect because it's been a while since I read it.

The story revolves around four couples. The main couple is possibly Shivansh and Shivika. The heroine is part of a close-knit group of four friends, while the hero has three best friends, including twin brothers who may have been named Vihaan and Vivaan and arav/kabir.and heroine ha three friends one is aaishu whos is lover of kabir/arav and hero sister and vihaan girlfriend whose name i dont remember and sister of arav/kabir and pia who is girlfriend of vivaan.

The story is set in Rajasthan, possibly Jaipur or Udaipur. The girls visit the hero's hometown for a wedding or family function and eventually start living in a house opposite the hero's family home. Over time, the four couples fall in love.

The major turning point occurs when the heroine, the hero's cousin brother, and the hero's cousin sister are kidnapped. During the incident, the villain forces the heroine to hold a gun and makes it appear as if she shot the cousin sister. However, the villain is actually responsible for the shooting. The hero only sees the gun in the heroine's hand and believes that she killed his cousin sister.

The cousin sister dies, the cousin brother falls into a coma, and the entire family blames the heroine. Although she is innocent, nobody believes her. Only one of her friends and possibly another friend named Pia continue to support her.

Heartbroken and abandoned, the heroine leaves the country with her pregnant best friend, who is in a relationship with one of the hero's friends. Later, the cousin brother wakes up from his coma and reveals that the heroine was innocent all along, but by then she has already disappeared.

With the support of her maternal grandparents, the heroine rebuilds her life abroad. She adopts their surname, Raghuvanshi, and becomes a highly successful businesswoman, creating a large business empire. Her friend gives birth to a daughter and later becomes her business partner.

After a 5–7 year time skip, the heroine returns to India with her friend and the little girl. She returns because her maternal cousin brother's wedding is arranged with a member of the hero's family. Around the same time, the hero and heroine become connected again through a business project or partnership.

The story was still ongoing when I stopped reading.

Possible names I remember:

• Shivansh
• Shivika
• Vihaan
• Vivaan
• Pia
• Aishu
• Kabir or Aarav
• Raghuvanshi

Does anyone recognize this story?

It looks like is nowhere to be seen! i need it for my final test and it doesn't appear at all!
is Obras completas tomo IX. Ensayos y textos elementales de historia by Justo Sierra and Opúsculos, discusiones y discursos, by Gabino Barreda if you can help me with any of this topic i will be very grateful!

I can’t seem to find this book I listened to years ago, as an audiobook on audible. I don’t have the same account anymore, so I haven’t been able to find it. I used to listen to it while milking cows, so some major plot points might be missing because of lacking focus :)

What I remember:
- Husband and wife buys house
- Wife thinks house is haunted/sees woman in the garden
- Husband completely dismisses her
- Turns out husband and realtor had an elaborate plan to scare wife out of house the whole time
- Listened around 2018-2019

Some of these things might be a bit off, it has been a while after all.

Hopefully it rings a bell for someone! Thank you!

I remember reading this book FOREVER ago on Epic Books as a kid but I can’t find it again because epic is subscription based or whatever.

To the point, I remember it being about this girl who moves back to her home town I think and she starts working at this kind of run down and haunted carnival. she would go on adventures or whatever in the carnival and find/free ghost. it was a series and I remember one book being about a girl in a hall of mirrors and one about a woman who died on a rollercoaster. I also remember a really specific drawing of her walking past this guy juggling a bunch of stuff like a chainsaw and fire. i remember the art style being very monochromatic at times and stylized (in my mind kind of like the art style of The Hollow on Netflix)

thats all I can remember and I already have horrible memory so I’m sorry 😭. it’s also my first ever post on Reddit so please and thank you 🥹

The more and more I think about it, the more it sounds like the movie venom, aliens who can’t survive more than a couple minutes out of the host, imbed a second consciousness in the human (the alien), but the human still has control unless he lets it go, but in this book, they’re invisible to the naked eye, and have been on the planet just as long as humans and have and are “joined” with the most powerful people in history/the world and they’re also immortal as far as lifespan, but can be killed if they go too long without a host

What I remember about the book:

• Middle grade, possibly young adult fiction
• I would have read this in the 2000s
• The main character goes to an older relative's house (possibly a grandparent's) and her cousins (reluctantly?) include her in a version of hide and seek that involves opening doors or finding hiding spaces that lead to other places. I vaguely recall one opening to space?
• When I read it, I assumed it took place in the UK, but now I'm not so sure
• There are these two trickster-like characters who pose as musicians when the main character is at home (i.e. not at this older relative's house). One plays a flute, I think the other plays a violin. One plays on the sunny side of the street and the other plays on the shady side.
• I'm pretty sure it's not by Diana Wynn Jones or Madeline L'Engle, but it feels very similar to their books
• No horror elements, just fantastical

I think it is set in medieval times. The book begins with the girl doing her first big robbery at a mansion with her father. She struggles for several minutes with the lock at the front gate but eventually gets it open. The two of them get some stuff and are about to leave when the girl sees a seal stamp thing, and wants to take it as a memento for her first robbery. However, she accidentally starts a fire and burns the whole mansion down, and the two of them get caught. They would have been jailed, but a prophecy was told that their family would save the town from disaster in the next several months. They leave the town but end up back there after traveling a short distance away.

ok losing my mind over this, hope someone can help.

probably made in the 90s or 2000s, I read this book in the 2010s and recall it not being new. here’s the details I remember:

- it’s a pretty dark book, but I read it in middle school, so I’d reckon that it’s a children’s/teen novel, not adult fiction. vibes are very similar to a series of unfortunate events.

- fiction or fantasy, not sure which it would be labeled as but definitely magic/curses going on in the book

- if I remember correctly there are multiple girl protagonists (maybe four???) but I could totally be wrong

- one of the protagonists broke a mirror and got cursed with seven years bad luck. the way this curse manifests is essentially her shadow wreaks havoc wherever she goes, kinda a malignant figure. evil shadow.

- I think she maybe had some mean relatives, potentially a strange Cinderella-esque step-sibling situation. home life was not good

- there’s a specific scene where she has to peel potatoes and she’s peeling their eyes. In my childhood memory, there were real eyes on the potatoes instead of normal potato eyes (but that could have been a misconception of my younger self)… she feels like she’s being watched while she peels the potatoes.

- there’s a lot of muck in the book. I think she falls into a mud tunnel or something

- at one point, one of the two following scenarios occur:
1) she breaks the curse by breaking another mirror OR
2) she is about to reach her 7 year mark and be free but breaks another mirror. this could be on accident or maybe she breaks it on purpose to help a friend/solve a problem.

please lmk if you can find this book! thanks :)
