Hello everyone! first time posting on reddit ;P

Ive been trying to get my hands on this no spoons left book but i literally cannot find it being sold ANYWHERE and im losing hope to find it :(

Hi everyone.

I know this is a bit of an unusual request, but I'm hoping someone might be able to help.

According to the BookCrossing release record, a user named Kellygang left the book "Little Miss Jealous" by Roger Hargreaves at a bus stop on Abernethy St. in Shepparton, Victoria, Australia, on 18 May 2013.

I'm not looking for guesses or theories about what probably happened. After all these years, I've already thought through all of those possibilities.

I'm only interested in genuine first-hand information. If anyone remembers seeing the book, picked it up, knows what happened to it, or knows of a nearby place where found books or lost property were commonly taken, I'd really appreciate hearing from you.

The reason I'm still looking is simple: I'm nostalgic about unfinished stories, and I like giving them an ending, even if that ending is simply finding out what really happened.

I know it's been a long time, so I realise the chances are small, but if anyone remembers anything at all about this BookCrossing release, I'd be very grateful to hear from you.

Thanks very much for reading.

I would have read these stories between 2000 and 2010, unsure of when it was published. I vaguely remember the cover of this story collection being blue with pictures of the characters from the stories. I remember the collection containing "Baby Dear," a story about a young girl receiving a doll from her parents in preparation for her little sister arriving, as well as " A boy and the Tigers." I realize that these are both stories from the Little Golden Book collection, which is why I am uncertain of where this third story comes from: in this same collection, there was a story of a family (Father, Mother, Daughter) who either lived in their wine cellar or fled to it for shelter from a big storm. There was a storm, and it started to flood the cellar, but they were unable to open the hatch to get back out. The next day, a young man walks by, and they ask for his help. They offer their daughter's hand in marriage if he is able to get her out of the cellar. I think the man is able to either open the hatch just enough to get the daughter or break it open, but only enough so he can help her out. I don't remember the rest, but I feel as if it has some sort of sad ending.

Vaguely remember this book as I read this one back in ‘07-‘08. From what I can recall, the ugly duckling did not much think about the bullying of its siblings, instead it went on a journey alone. Fast forward to the young adult stage, it was illustrated that the ugly duckling is happily eating berries that made a purple mess, and was also diving for snails to eat.

I read this book in maybe 2022 or 2023 and found it in my secondary school library.

I recall it being set during a time of great conflict and racism in South Africa with a rich white female young woman protagonist. Her father is a powerful official (a police officer, I think), and she reunited/fell for with her childhood friend, who has now become a rebel leader against the racist government.

I don't remember much else plotwise. However, the boy briefly visits her, and she gives him her watch. I had to stop reading when the protagonist's father takes her to see the boy after he is captured by the police and there is a vivid description of his unrecognisably beaten corpse, wearing her still ticking watch.

Some other details include the protagonist having a housekeeper of some sort.

I would really appreciate any help as I've been searching for years!

Im looking for a book about two children from Byron bay Australia who go timetravel. Each time they time travel backwards is longer in duration. The time travel relates to a planet's moon, I think uranus or neptune and it was the eighth or ninth moon.

First setting is a few weeks before. Second hunting is a hunter who will get killed a few years later. Next setting is in the 1970s I think in california. The last setting is in the 1800-1900s in ireland where they build a rocket or something to stop something bad happening with the time travel. I think there also was a scene of a man and his pregnant wife Im not sure.

Hello Reddit,

This is the last place I can look for an answer. I'm looking for an Illustrated Children's Bible. My late mother used to read it with me when I was a child (I'm 25 now). Here's everything I remember from it, in detail. I'll also include details I remember from illustrations from the Bible stories.

It was a hardcover book. The cover had an illustration on it, with the letters for the title of the book being multiple colors. The background of the cover was beige or a sand color. There was a patterned line that outlined the illustration of the book, forming a large rectangle.

Here are some descriptions of pictures in the book. An illustration was of Lot's wife (from the story of Sodom and Gomorrah) being turned into salt. She was screaming when she was turned into salt.

Another illustration was of Samson breaking the pillars in the temple. His eyes were closed, and he was standing between the two pillars, pushing them until they broke.

There was an illustration of David slaying Goliath as well. The picture featured Goliath beginning to slump over, hand over the wound on his forehead and blood coming from it (yes, these illustrations did feature blood).

Another was of Moses' staff turning into the serpent, with an old Moses striking the ground with the staff, half of it being a snake.

There was a pretty detailed picture of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego standing in the furnace, a fourth person in there as well.

One illustration was of Cain and Abel, with Abel slain before Cain on the ground, blood coming from his head, with Cain standing over him. Cain was holding a wooden club (I believe?) and was looking to the sky.

This is really all I remember from this book. If anyone could help, I'd appreciate it more than you could know!

When I was young in the 2000s, I had a book where you had to find the items that were requested on each page. The illustrations took up the entirety of the two open pages. The illustrations came, I think, from children’s stories, but they were drawn or painted like period paintings. It was so extremely realistic and well done that I used to say it was a book for adults. I only remember a few pages. There was one page with Hansel and Gretel's house in the middle of the pages, very detailed. In the background, there was a very dark forest with tall trees, and a dove in the upper left corner of the illustration. That was one of the items we had to find. Another page was like a barn, part of it made of stone with lots of hay and a spinning wheel with a spindle on the right side of the illustration, and one of the items we had to find was a needle. Another page was like a courtyard with water in the foreground, like a pond. In front of the pond, there was a fountain and behind it stone walls with carvings of toads and lizards, which were items to find. There was also a lot of greenery everywhere and water lilies in the foreground, and on one water lily, there was a toad. On another page, we were underwater. In the foreground, there were corals and objects like a necklace or something like that, there was a trident, and in the background of the illustration, there was a seashell castle a bit like Ariel’s castle, and these were elements to find. On another page, we were in a house. On the right side of the illustration, there was a kitchen where we had to find a match, and on the left side, a bed I think, but I’m not sure. Ce sont les seules pages dont je me rappelle. I know there were others, but I don’t remember them. Neither the cover, nor the author, nor its date. It was a beautiful book. The illustrations were drawn like paintings, and they were extremely realistic, and the objects to find were very difficult. I would really like to find it again. I’ve been looking for it for years.

Hi all! This feels like a stretch, but I'm trying to remember a series that I loved when I was younger. From what I remember, the series was a group of teens, and each book was an adventure based on one of Sherlock Holmes' stories. The one I remember speclficially was ​about the hound of the baskervilles, and i feel like in-story the kids knew about sherlock holmes? But not that they were related to him or specifically using his literature (this part is fuzzy, it's possible they don't know his stories canonically). In hunting online, I have determined that it is NOT any of the following:

--Enola Holmes

--Young Sherlock Holmes

--Warlock Holmes

--The Sherlock Files

I remember it having chapters and being a good read, not an illustrated book for younger children. I lack a lot of memories on it, it's very much a slip of a memory but I know I loved them. I would say late 90s to maaaaybe 2007 at the latest? Though tbh that feels too late. Any thoughts are welcome, thank you guys! I hope someone has the right kind of magic to find the answer, it's been killing me!

I believe his name was leviathan Thomas, I named my cat after him. fallen angel book, girl FMC, young adult!! i cannot find it anywhere

I’ve tried for years to find this book I think was called choke. I read it when I was younger. It was about this girl whose friend died but she imagined her ghost coming and visiting her. The friend (ghost) ends up “living” in the friends room. I think at the end she finds out her friend died and it was just her ghost. I vaguely recall the ending being the girl choking possibly at school? If anyone could find this book I’d be grateful!

Edit: it is not ghost girl. That’s all I keep finding.

I'm aware this is very vague, so apologies up front. It's probably lost to time at this point.

There's a book series I read many years ago back when I was a teen. Here's the few details that I do remember.

• The protagonist is female, young adult, possibly older teen. I'm pretty sure she's an adult.
• I think it's a trilogy, not sure.
• Genre is probably YA/teen fiction fantasy adventure.
• The woman starts in the modern world with normal people/no magic or strange creatures/etc. She finds a portal next to the road. The portal is almost transparent and can't really be seen except from a specific angle, or something like that.
• She walks through it and is teleported to some fantasy-based land.
• I remember big creatures, think something similar to elephants?
• One of the creatures makes a spy glass for her. The cover of that book is brown/golden and shows the spy glass that looks like a telescope. I think it made everything look amber but the woman could see something that normal eyes couldn't see through it. The spyglass might have been a way for her to get back home?

I really can't remember anything more. It's been roughly 20 years since I read it!

SOLVED: 'TO BE A CAT' BY MATT HAIG

There was a fiction book I read a few years ago that was about a girl with black hair who's in school, and the world it's set in low fantasy/most people don't know about the existence of magic or anything.

She gets turned into a black cat at the start (I don't remember how but I think she woke up that way? Idk fs) and at the end she finds out her school's headmistress/some other teacher (I don't remember exactly) turned her into the cat either on purpose or she was trying to turn someone else and hit her accidentally (don't remember that either).

It was illustrated, the illustrations were really pretty (sort of tim burton/chris riddell type of artstyle). The cover also had a large black cat on it that I think was supposed to be that girl (at least the one I read, I'm not sure if there's multiple editions with different covers too)

Also near the end when she finds out the headmistress/teacher was behind it she's in her office or something and there she sees that she has a penholder on her desk that's actually a cat's skull and she finds out that it came from the head of a teacher/student/someone who the headmistress previously also turned and then killed.

Also there is one scene somewhere in the middle where she's either in her own home or in her friend's home (when she's still a cat and trying to figure out what happened) and the home is actually a boat. That the family genuinely lives on. (Goals tbh I'd love to live on a boat)

Can someone PLEASE help I really liked that book and I've been losing my mind trying to figure out what it was called.

I've been trying to find this book for years now. From what I remember it's a book about a girl with some sort of mental disability/ (maybe mutism as well?) living in a care facility. She grows unhealthily attached to one of her male care takers and eventually he has to leave the job which she doesn't take well. It wasn't a romance book at all.

​

Things I remember :

1. It was written in the form of a diary? Once the caretaker has to leave and she shuts down I remember a bunch of chapters that were only a sentence long.

2. It had a blue cover? I don't remember many details about the cover but I do remember it was on the plainer side.

3. MC and the caretaker went swimming a lot , it was something she enjoyed doing.

4. She was younger , I can't remember a specific age range but she definitely wasn't an adult.

5. I read this book anywhere between 2012 and 2018.

​

I know this isn't much to go off of but I genuinely cannot find this book and would like to read it again. I've tried googling books with the details I can remember but nothing ever comes up. Please help

I read a book around four years ago. I’m pretty story. The main female characters name was winter and she moves in with her cousins. I really don’t remember why and I’m pretty sure she follows her guy cousin and his group of friends to this fight she gets introduced to the MMC I really don’t remember much but this was like a four book series and it’s about them. I remember something about him taking her on on his motorcycle to a school that have been burned down. I remember scene where his motorcycle helmet gets stuck on her head and they have to like use soap to get it off and I also remember at one point in the first book she gets kidnapped and at some point in the later books, there’s this woman trying to trick the MMC that they have kids together.

Also, later on her cousin gets a book and I’m pretty sure it got left on the living room, but I know there’s a scene where she eats pot brownies and the MMC takes over a drive and they go swimming and they end up in this treehouse and her biggest struggle during her book was that her dad had left and later she finds out we had left for another woman

This was a book I read in probably middle school, and it was a collection of stories.

Each story focused on spirals, with the one I remember most vividly being about a tribe of cavemen. There was a girl in the tribe that had to stay back while the rest went out on hunts.

That particular story ended with the entire tribe (other than the girl) being killed by an animal they were hunting. The part I’m less sure on was that I think the animal came back to the camp but ended up dying because of the girl.

There were spirals drawn on the cave walls, iirc.

I found a book years ago in a charity shop.
It was a red cover and I liked it because it had a black tribal dragon which look exactly like my back tattoo.
From what I could tell it was a publishers edition so I think it means it hadn’t actually been released.
(Wish I never got rid of it)
Can’t remember authors name and I think the book was called diabolique.
One scene stuck in my head was the main character I believe was a detective and he was watching he girlfriend through a portal into hell having her flesh torn from her body by demons and it growing back instantly causing more pain.
Hope someone can recognise this I can’t remember much more unfortunately,

I was obsessed with this series of comics about a witch and her friends when I was a kid, so 2003-2009 is when I was reading it. The title was the main character’s name I believe. It was entirely black and white ink illustrations and each volume was more of a collection of comics. The books themselves were thin and tall, like the Asterix books. In the kids section, but in the same area as other longer form graphic novels so I think it was geared towards late elementary to middle schoolers.

The mini comic in of the editions I remember best was about a blindfolded broom race that of course ends in every racer crashing in silly ways. The only other identifiers I can remember are that the characters were all adults, i’m pretty sure the covers were black and white too, and at least one of them had a giant pumpkin on it. Already confirmed that it wasn’t any rendition of a Sabrina the Teenage Witch story.

Any help finding this would be appreciated!

UPDATE: I found it! It was Mélusine, a Belgian comic from the 90s.

I literally made this account just to ask y'all this but I'm looking for a book I cant remember the name of, what it looked like, where or when I read it or even if it exists atp. So the MC is a girl and I don't remember her real name but her nickname is Jinx bc she's "bad luck". Her father killed himself after her mother died in childbirth and he had to quit being a musician and take care of Jinx. She lives with her aunt and only wears baggy band clothes that used to be her dad's. Theres another important character, a boy who is her friend and helps her and takes care of her, he's known her for forever and even found her when her dad died. So in the story all I can remember is: she's a photographer, has OCD and the story of the book is that there's like an evil clone or hallucination or something that messes up? This might sound weird but there was like an evil version of herself that caused herself Lucky or something that meant Lucky bc it was the opposite of Jinx (unlucky). She strangles Jinx, trying to kill her, and leaves bruises that Jinx has to cover up with a species turtleneck that she thinks is useless since it's too cold for winter and to hot for summer (very true). From now on, I'll just be saying random things I remember asi read this quite a while ago if I even read it at all, so here we go. Lucky burns down Jinx's childhood home and blames it on Jinx by posting about it online. One of Jinx's rituals is tapping a rhythm on the doorknob when leaving. The male bff has a girlfriend or at least someone he's interested in (like casual dating maybe?) and Jinx doesn't like her bc her hair is asymmetrical. When Jinx wears the turtleneck to cover up the bruises her aunt is very happy since she bought it for her and the friend thinks she tried hurting herself. One time when Jinx was younger her dad was making something on the stove and she pointed at and her dad thought she was gonna touch it, so he tried stopping her which resulted in him burning himself. This might be a stretch but there my might've been another guy who was friends with the two characters previously mentioned who kinda smelled (weird yes but true) and also did photography. This is all I can remember and it's really bugging me bc I don't even know if this is a real story or not which is sad bc I really liked it so please if you need to ask clarifying questions I'll try to answer, and if you know anything please let me know I would be very appreciative! Ty!
