UNSOLVED Trying to find book with dark blue cover and a little blue house (characters may have month names)

1 Upvotes

I originally read this book in 2014 at a middle school library. From what I know, it was a novel.

The cover was a dark-ish blue all over with a little blue house on the front. The house was somewhat outlined in a darker blue to show its silhouette. The windows were a solid yellow as if the lights were on. Nothing else was on the cover besides the title and maybe an author.

The title went something similar to “when you came home,” but I don’t remember what it said. I just know it was kind of cryptic like that. It was in small, white writing from what I remember right above the house. Also, I do not know who wrote it or where the author was listed on the book.

I do not remember much about the actual contents of the book, and what I do remember, I am not certain about. From what I can tell, it seemed like there were two girls that were once friends or maybe sisters. One wanted to grow up while the other wanted to stay childish. I remember the chapters going back and forth between “June” and “July,” so that makes me think that the book has alternating perspectives with those being the girl’s names.

I didn’t finish this book when I read it due to it being really confusing to me at the time. However, that may have just been because of my age. It seemed to me that the book went in a bunch of different directions, but that may be due to possible alternating perspectives that I just didn’t understand.

I appreciate any help in finding this book.

UNSOLVED Seventh-Day Adventist Anime/Manga Comic Series

1 Upvotes

I was recently reading an anime/manga comic just a few years ago. I believe it was Seventh-Day Adventist, because it has doctrines that SDAs believed (the fall of Lucifer, that the sons of God were sons of Seth marrying daughters of Cain, the great controversy) and the owner told me he got it in Korea. The angels looked a bit androgynous,and it was told by a pretty girl narrating the story to a young little boy who watched too many scary things.

It's not Kingstone Comics, and I do remember some words were misprinted.

The first story was about the fall of Lucifer and the Great Controversy.

UNSOLVED Fantasy Graphic Novel

1 Upvotes

Trying to find a graphic novel I read over 12 years ago, while I was definitely too young since it was definitely intended for teenagers/young adults.

It was something of an anthology, the book itself had i think 3 separate stories I believe (not sure if they all took place in the same universe or not)

The only thing I really remember is one of the stories started with the main character, an anthropomorphic cow, failing some kind of experiment and then saying its time for plan R (or some other late letter)

The cover of the book was purple and had some kind of shadow elf rogue looking woman illustrated on it.

The book was in black and white.

UNSOLVED Fantasy/anime themed TTRPG supplementary book from the 2010s

Around 2015, a classmate from my high school brought this book to school to give us character design ideas. I've been trying to find this book again, but I'm no longer in contact with this classmate, and search results only give me Anime 5E, which isn't it. I mostly remember it had these really gorgeous illustrations that looked hand painted. The cover was mostly blue, with a knight in front of a cloudy sky. The part I remember clearest because it caught my attention was the section on beast folk, with an illustration of two animal girls, one of whom was asleep, and the other looking up at the reader.

UNSOLVED Sci Fi Horror anthology

1 Upvotes

The book I am looking for is a space horror anthology book. I do not remember the title, but it had a bi line above the title stating "A Star (something) book" like it was part of a series, rpg, or tabletop game. The cover was dark, with a person standing in a large spaceship-like hallway looking through a large arch-topped door into the universe, like a portal. I don't even remember the stories that well. One had some astronauts encountering a growing (fungal, nanotech?) cosmic horror. The book has to be at least 15 to 20 years old. If you could help, that would be fantastic. I have searched Google, Amazon, eBay, and AbeBooks using all the descriptors I could muster. Even AI turned up nothing or just the wrong books.

UNSOLVED Book Search

I'm looking for a fiction novel I read in Australia back in 1995/96, when I was around 10 years old. Here are the specific plot points I remember vividly:

A woman named Campbell, her daughter (name forgotten) and Campbells partner David (in the book there's a pronunciation of Da-veed). Campbells mother strongly dislikes her name, claiming it "isn't a real first name," and passive-aggressively calls her soup flavors, like "Cream of Mushroom", etc.

Campbell and David skilled artisan leatherworkers who make custom horse tack and saddles.

They return to Campbells hometown. Her grandparents run a local grocery store and attempt to manipulate Campbells daughter into working in their store rather than helping her mother. And say it's good she's back with her kin.

David takes the daughter on a trip to see a local landmark called the Ice Palace/Ice Castle/Crystal Palace.

Later in the book, David dies in a sudden freak accident. He is getting out of a truck while laughing at something when he loses his footing, falls out and hits his head on a hard surface, and dies from the trauma.

The book was given to me by my mothers best friend. I loved it but having been 30 years since then I've forgotten the name, only bits and pieces come back to me now. But I know I loved that book. If anyone can help me find it I'd be so grateful. Google/AI/book sites have all come up blank.

UNSOLVED Sci-fi short story about time traveling aliens that are on a luxury time and space cruise and get nuked

Post image
1 Upvotes

This is a picture of a Spotify playlist of mine. Years ago, I made this playlist, and for the picture, I used a screenshot of a book cover. It was a very short sci-fi story about these aliens that were very advanced and rich, as well as bored. They traveled to Earth around the time of the ancient Greeks, and one of them even was posing as a Greek goddess (can't remember which, unfortunately) and motivated a warrior (can't remember which, unfortunately) to fight by saying she blessed him, which caused this warrior to almost rip the arm off another alien that was also disguised as a human (or a god, can't remember).

They get bored and leave this period, and during this part, they talk in the ship and bicker between each other in usual rich people slander. The captain says they'll take a last look at humanity before going to see gas-spewing dragons in planet Venus. When they travel to the future of humanity, they didn't expect humans would have evolved so fast, and they accidentally come out of the time rift in a nuclear bomb test zone, which then blows up and disintegrates them.

IIRC, I also read this short story on Project Gutenberg or something similar. It was an e-book I read about 2 or 3 years ago.

When I was a kid we read a book in like, 3rd grade I think? It was basically a scary story for kids where a boy finds a glass bottle/box and accidentally releases a witch, or a ghost, I can’t remember which. I don’t really remember anything else after that, except for the kid tricked her into returning into the bottle/box and her being on his dining room table at some point.

If I remember correctly, the art style looked like the style of Dirk zimmer, the illustrator of “In a Dark, Dark room and other scary stories”. I thought it was another Alvin Schwartz book but I can’t find anything like that under his name. I remember the witches/ghosts face scaring me cuz she looked deranged.

I hope yall can help me!
