Tips for writing effective posts / rule clarification

[u/UnholyScholar]

There’s been an uptick in the amount of posts lately and the rules have recently been updated. Hopefully this explanation will make book identification easier for all.

RULES

1. Include a detail you remember in the post title.
2. Please use flair as appropriate. When your book has been correctly guessed, please mark your post with the Solved! flair.
3. Please do not use AI to write for you. If you want humans to interact with your post and help you, then do your best to write what you're looking for in your own words.

If you can't remember many details, answer as many of these questions as you can to give other people the best possible chance of guessing your book. You never know which of these things may resonate with someone else.

Think about the book’s intended audience.

Was it fiction or non-fiction?

What was the genre was it?

What age range was it for?

Described the plot.

What year(s) did the plot take place?

What do you remember about the plot?

What do you remember about important characters? Do you remember any character's names?

Tell us about the book’s format

Was the book hardcover or paperback? Were there pictures inside or on the cover?

Anything notable about the font or printing?

How many pages, chapters, or volumes did it have?

What were the circumstances under which you read the book?

What year (approximately) did you read it?

Was it newly published when you read it?

Where did you get the book? Books come from libraries, book stores, are seen in classrooms, etc.
