Like many have said on here, this is (probably) very much a long shot, but I remember that I really enjoyed a certain young adult mystery novel when I was a little girl that I've been wondering about for years.

I'm pretty sure it was published around the 70s (though it could have been the 80s, but it seemed quite old). The plot was based around a family of children and their mother (from what I hazily recall, their father was absent for some reason) who were tormented by the peculiar antics of a poltergeist, such as things being overturned and stones being thrown seemingly from nowhere in their sun room. I believe a statue of some sort was involved as well. The word "cupid" was either in the title or somehow majorly relevant to the plot.

Any ideas?

A young girl boards a ship to Alaska to avoid a marriage (I think). When she arrives, she takes a job as a cook and earns enough gold from miners that she eventually opens her own place. I remember a note from the author that said she was inspired by an actual restaurant in Alaska. I thought that the author might have been Linda Lael Miller but I couldn't find it in her works.

Young girl living in a colonial village where an epidemic breaks out.
She discovers that she is really in the 20th centure, and the colonial village is actually a compound.
She escapes to an underground subway and hides in the restroom for a while, then sets out to find a cure for the epidemic.
I vaguely remember a smiley face on the front cover of the book.
Thanks for any clues!

but this has been bugging me for a while and i've tried googling it and came up short. the book i'm looking for is a collection of photographs with accompanying short biographies. it's essentially about diversity in young people- it featured teens/young twenties of different races, abilities and backgrounds. black and white photographs. it was kept in the young adult section of my library, so i'm thinking it was a YA book but i'm not positive. i also specifically remember it featured Schuyler Fisk (actress and daughter of Sissy Spacek), before she got famous so i think it was published in the early 2000's. does it sound familiar to anyone? i'm beginning to think i imagined it.

I know it's a long shot, but I'm trying to find the title and author of a book I read some 10 to 15 years ago (I read it in German, but I think it was an American author, so either language would be fine).
It was a historical story, set in America. The book was about a young (white) boy (maybe 6 years) who was sold by his father to work (in effect it was like being a slave, but I think it was named differently), telling the years till he grew up (and I think finally won his freedom).
The book also had an afterword about the real historical background. Somewhere in the back of my mind is the name Jonathan, but I honestly don't know if it was a character, the author's name or comes from another book I read around that time.
Does that plot sound familiar to anybody?

I'm sure I read somewhere that someone (I know, none more vaguer!) had written a book about the Princess of Wales' alternate life - the story was that she survived the crash and moved to live in America. Has anyone else heard of this book or did I dream it? And if so, any ideas who the author was or what the title is?

this forum is for people who want remember/mooch a book, or want to put it somewhere as a list of one's they've read, etc, but cant remember the name of it, this is the place to post.

Generally, you will write down what you can remember aout the storyline, as well as the genre of the book. hopefully someone else on bookmooch has read that book and remember, or owns that book.

I created this because I can remember fragments of storylines form books I reemmber really enjoying, and would love to read hem again, but I couldn't, for the life of me, reemmber the title.

Happy posting, and good luck finding! c:

There is a girl and she is wandering a deserted city going into peoples houses and looking for food, she meets up with a boy who is also wandering and they are on their way somewhere (maybe a port) I think its during the war
read it 20 maybe 25 years ago

All I can remember is that it is set at some beach resort type area and the plot is that all the sea creatures somehow become homicidal, The crabs hater and attack, schools of harmless fish attack, etc etc.

I cannot remember the name but I do remember that when I first read it about 30 years ago I enjoyed it. If anyone has a guess as to the title I'd appreciate it.

Thanks, Daniel

I read a book years ago that was a romance by a lady author. As I said it was loosely based on A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens (one of my favorite books) The heroine who I believe was actually called Carol or Carole was placed in Scrooge's position - She was an American sent back in time to regency or Victorian England in one vignette and met the "dashing" hero Lord Nicholas of Something.

Sent forward to her time to meet the reincarnated Nick Something (this time American like her).

Then Carol was sent to a futuristic America and met a battle-hardened Nik who is the same person Carol has met before (he was the same soul) This time Nik has been married before and she has died for some reason.

Anyway, Carol has constantly met Nick throughout her lives and loves him dearly by the end of the book. Every time she leaves a life she just disappears I think and is either married or dating Nick each time that she disappears. Always on or around Christmas Eve. She has Scrooge's attitude towards Christmas at the beginning of the book and in a futuristic America she has to make Nick believe in the Christmas spirit as well.

I do remember that at the beginning of the book Carol has inherited her grandmother's house on her grandmother's death and that there is a painting of some type in her bedroom. I think either there is a ghost in the house or Carol herself becomes a ghost at one point maybe.

I am not sure of the author's name but I think the name of the book was something like Carol's Christmas. It's split into three sections - past Victorian or regency England, present - the 90s I think - and futuristic maybe 2194 or something like that. It might have been published around 1990 or something, I don't know. I know that it was a paranormal romance - time travel and ghosts and futuristic elements as well.

I borrowed it to read from a high school friend in about 1990 and lost track of it since then. I hope that you lovely people might be able to help me track down this book. I'd love to read it again if possible. Thank you so much and all the best.

It's a real story and not a novel and I have'nt read it but I would like to read it someday ... the problem is that I can't remember the title of the book ... does anyone ever heard of it ? (it was a french book)

thanks for helping me out find this book :)

I'm looking for a series (and I know this isn't much to go on), one of the characters is named Lacey (pretty sure her last name is Duvall but when I googled that I got a porn star. Now I'm wondering. :/) who is a high school/junior reporter. It is a teen fiction. The particular book I remember is when Lacey and her friends (there's 3 or 4 others but I don't know their names) have traveled a long way and spent the night in their little car to meet with a boy band because they want to be first to get an interview for their paper. Like I said, it was part of a series and I *think* this one was book 3. Not sure on that part though.
If anyone even has a guess, no harm in trying and I'd really like to find it.
Thanks, Lindsey

Ok, I read this in the last couple of years, but don't recall anything about title, author...but I *think* I heard they were going to make a movie about it?

Modern NYC woman, writer(?) of Regency novels, and one day her Hero just appears in her Living Room, with his sidekick.

I think there was a mystery...I remember it was amusing...but that's all.

Can anybody help?

Thanks!!!

I read a book about a woman that her ex died and she had to scatter his ashes, A friend or sister went with her to help.
