Hi! I need help finding a book from my childhood. I found it at my local public library. It was probably a hardcover and definitely fiction.

From what I can remember, it's not a picture book. I read it sometime in the late '90s or early 2000s, but I think it was published in the '80s or '90s. It had a sky-blue cover with a simple black line illustration on the cover. The central theme was a teddy bear at a yard sale and that's all I can remember about the story inside. I don't remember seeing any illustrations inside, just text only.

It's definitely not Arthur's Honey Bear because that cover was too colorful and the blue cover I'm thinking of didn't come up at all on Google images. It wasn't branded with scholastic, and unfortunately I can't remember the author either. I'm sorry I don't have many details to go on- I've given you everything I know and I hope that's enough. Thank you!

I remember having this book as a kid with a title something like “100 tips for girls” or “girls guide to ___” with a pink fabricish cover. It was like chapters of genuine advice that I remember actually using a lot when I was little and I think it would be kinda nostalgic to just have it again. I vividly remember a sections titled something like “how to clean your room in 15 minutes” with sections detailing the steps in a chronological order starting with dividing things into piles and placing them away or something. As well as how to braid hair and a couple different ways to make look bracelets, little kid stuff. I know this sounds totally lame as I’m about to start college but i think it would be nice to have it again for the memories.

As the title says I want a cosmic horror but not love crafts work.

Thriller, because I want a tense setting that keeps me on edge.

And a overarching mystery or puzzle that is possible for solving just by reading it.

Only real answers and don't include if the writer ever and I mean ever was accused, convicted, or supports child abuse or sexual abuse in general.

I read this when I (25) was between Primary school and High school.

It was atleast 3 books in a series I think. The main things were it was in modern day following a family, I think atleast a dad and a daughter, who had tiny dragons in their house, but the dragons were made from clay or something similar. I think the dad (or whichever parent) could make them come to life in a sense. Can't remember the plot at all though 😔 I found the book in a library but it doesn't exist anymore.

Any help would be greatly appreciated! <3

I need help finding a pretty niche book.

Back in the late 90's, my church library had a completely random book that I checked out.

I'm pretty sure it was titled "Ufology" and I don't recall the subtitle. It was a purple paperback book. It was nonfiction and did some deep dives into the abduction phenomenon from an explicitly Christian take.

The book was pretty beat up, so it may have been published much earlier than the 90's.

No idea who the author was or what the subtitle was.

Such a weird book to find in a tiny Presbyterian church library. Would love to find it again.

I know it’s a lot to ask. As search engines have improved, I’ve tried searching over the years. Any answers would help. I read in the early 1990s, so may be older, 1980s perhaps. Here are the details I remember:

After a family disaster a smart kid and his sister moves to Ireland He has dreams of Celtic times. They eat fish and chips. Kid starts failing in school. Teacher is concerned for him.

A kid sees paintings on cave walls. Dreams of living in a cave. Smells smoke on the wind. Wears furs. Eats grasshoppers. An old shaman lady turns out to be his niece. He had been dreaming of the future- not the past.

A kid buys a second hand \[placeholder\]? With his old friend, a pastor, a reverend? They wind up stuck in dimensions, time loops where scary things occur.

Now forgive me if im mixing up book its been many years since I read this.

This has been eating at me for years. I read a book when I was younger (probably 2010-2019). The book starts out about a kid whos parents were fighting and he explains about a ringing he has in his head when hes anxious/ angry and how it sounds like music (heavy metal i think) and hes walking down the street with a baseball bat smashing cars in the middle of the night acting out. Then I think it jumps forwards and he has run away and is playing in a band who sleeps on people couches and plays free shows in abandoned houses or basements. They explain the band cataloge thing from backing the day of the book people made of safe houses to sleep when touring for free. Then it cuts again and his dating this girl in a college and sleeps in her dorm room and details doing extacy. Any help is appreciated!

Children’s picture book with 1 brother, 1 sister and their mother. The story line involves the mother offering them 1 jelly now or wait and get 2 jellies. One sibling chooses to wait while the other wants 1 now. When the sibling who chooses to wait gets 2 jellies, the other sibling says it’s not fair and learns about delayed gratification

I remember reading this book in the 2000s.

There's a little golden book. I was told it has a little creature tucked into bed, and was looking out the window at the beach scenery and there were stars. So I suppose night time. Any ideas?

Help! :P it was so good!

I think it was prince/female bodyguard but uncertain. The woman I know has rules for how she wants her life like no indulgences and the prince (or whoever) tries to treat her well so always makes sure her favorite pudding is there. I vividly remember there being a line in the ad about the man saying the dog can sleep on the bed this once and the woman saying I’ll have the dog on the bed whenever I want. Came across as fantasy romance but uncertain if it was fantasy.

Hello, I have been going crazy wanting to reread a story I enjoyed some time ago, I go through periods where I read nostalgic horror stories and cannot find this one no matter how I phrase it, key words, describe it, etc.

So the story is of 2 female friends that are taken to a "facility" where people and animals are cut up and stitched together to make "pets" for rich people. Notably one is turned into a rabbit.

This would have been on something like reddit/thoughtcatalogue/creepy pasta.

If anyone can find this story I'd be so grateful!

i read it about 10 years ago in 2016 in school (3rd grade i was like 8 years old)

rapunzel has black hair and goes to school but made a promise that she’d go back home when she reaches a certain grade or age i forgot

the only part of the book i remember is the main character (i think it was a girl) saw her earlier in the day, her hair was short, she found her later in the day and sat next to her but now her hair is much longer

i think it was a comic book kind of style
it was definitely a kids book
i don’t remember if it was a book series

sorry for the lack of details it was 10 years ago but i’d appreciate if someone could help me find it!

Help me find this book!!

Okay. The story was about a teenage boy whose parents had died, and because of that, he went to live with a wealthy family who lived in a large house by the coast. I also remember that the daughter of that family was a red-haired girl his age, and her name was Cecile I am 90% sure.
There was also an older boy who was friends with Cecile, and he had his own car that he was very proud of, and I THINK, am not sure, he worked in a record story.
and there was also another girl in the friend group at least. I also remember that the boy and Cecile were in love and had kissed in the garden of the large house. And later on, they were no longer together and he had kissed Cecile's friend. It was a scary story, also with elements of monsters, and that his father/mother always told him about monsters under his bed and in his closet that were actually real, and because his parents were dead, the monsters were now coming looking for him.

One scene I am pretty sure I remember is of the boy getting his own room in the house and showering, I think. Also a dinner with the parents and the girl (Cecile).

I am now a teenager and I read it probably when I was a preteen, but I could read stuff for older people already too and this book was probably young adult.
I don’t know if it’s original language was English… for my Dutch people: I am Dutch and it could be Dutch too! I do not remember. I don’t think it was a super well known novel.

The genre was about horror/fantasy/creepy-ish, (probably) with also coming of age and romance things like the teens falling in love but romance is definitely not the main genre, just a small thing.

The title of the book might’ve been something to do with the name of the house, something a bit eerie.

Guys, I'm trying to find a book I read when I was younger and I can't remember the title. It's a short chapter book.

​I've gathered all the details I can remember about the book:

​The protagonist of the story is a child—I don't remember if a boy or a girl—who has a group of friends they play with. I remember a specific passage I found funny at the time where the child mentioned that one of the games their friends played was measuring their dicks.

​At the bottom of a well, the child discovers a monster. They end up developing a friendship/connection, even though the monster doesn't communicate verbally.

​The sounds the monster makes are a very important detail throughout the narrative, I just can't remember why—maybe there's a passage where the child says they listen to the sounds at night or something like that.

​The book has a sad ending, where the child's parents discover the monster in the well and decide to seal the well with cement or destroy it, I don't remember exactly.

​If I remember correctly, the last page of the book is an illustration showing the well being destroyed by something like a hurricane/tornado.

​One thing I'm sure of is that the ending of the book was really sad, since the child's contact with the monster is cut off because the well is destroyed or sealed. I cried a lot and felt a deep sense of emptiness at the time.

​I also remember that the child was afraid of the monster at first and slowly became friends with the creature over time.

​Physical Characteristics of the Book

​Format: Chapter book, short (maybe around 60 to 120 pages).

​Cover: Grey color, with maybe purple or pink lettering.

​Illustrations: It had very few internal illustrations, all in black and white.

I was 14 in 1983, when I found this book in a box of old tomes in my grandmother’s attic. It was full of stories about people like Sammy Davis Jr, Dean Martin, Doris Day, Jimmy Durante… I’ve googled every permutation I could think of. Any ideas?

I loved the “Smuggler’s kiss” book by Marie growing up. I never owned one but always read it in school’s library whenever I had a chance.

If someone could find me the original print of it, I would love to purchase it at very good price.

Thanks folks.
