So I read this book when I was in 9th grade or something and I read it in French, but its most likely not a French novel from a French autor. I don't remember much, but its during World War 2 and there's this german soldier who falls in love with a girl that is most likely Jewish. He actually helps her and protects her, he calls her Fraülein, I don't remember her name but I think his was Hans or something. I think he helps her and a group of her friends or whatever escape/rebel/I dont remember exactly, or at least tries to, and he accidentally gets shot by a Jewish guy (in a tunnel ?) mistaking him for an enemy, and dies. The lady will later marry the guy who shot the soldier.
Its not much, since its been what 10 years now that Ive read this book, but hopefully someone can help !Thank you !

I'm looking for a book I read 10+ years ago. It was a large format book (not large print, just larger than the airport paperback.)
The main character was a woman who worked with fabric for the royals (I'm thinking purple, but it could have indigo)
I'm thinking she was either a Dyer or a weaver.
The book was set in ancient times and I'm thinking it was in Istanbul but it could have been Greece. I do remember it was a coastal city. The original purple comes from the phoenician city of Lye, so it could have been there.
Thanks in advance.

Please help. I’ve posted this in every book group I can find. I’m starting to think I am actually crazy. Between 2000-2003 I read a series of books, I want to say there were 4, that had to do with a boy coming of age and discovering his worth and powers. Pretty typical for that time frame. The specifics though, involve broken waygates (they could be called something else). The boy eventually, probably in the last books, transforms physically because of his use of magic. He gets ears like a horse, his eyes move a bit farther apart, his nails and teeth become square and harden. I remember him accepting the changes. They’re part of him. He also lived an older couple in the book. They had horses and a farm I believe. The woman was ugly, but her husband loved her deeply, because of her character. That always struck me as relatable because I tend towards liking people based on how they act rather than how they look and when you’re 16 that’s a rare trait. Or it seemed to be anyways. I remember fire magic and maybe a magic plague of some sort, though that could be from another series entirely. This book series was one of the first that introduced me to gates and I feel like they traveled between places in his world, not to other worlds. Someone has to have read these right?? Thank you!!

I'm looking for a book about an unreliable narrator, I think she was a teen? She had a younger brother and her mom was a famous actress. I don't remember any of their names, I just remember that the blurb on the back cover was a bunch of lies about the narrator that she told her friends, and one of them was that she was a vampire?
I remember is as like a supremely average book, but it really bothers me that I can't remember the title. I think it was a YA novel, and I guess the plot was something along the lines of the girl going on a trip with her mom and brother, meeting a creepy boy and somehow learning that lying is bad?

I read this book a couple of years ago. It's focused around a guy who was given Metal Hands and indoctrinated into a religious order and a commander in an Empire's military. The Empire is in disarray because the Emperor was assassinated by the religious order, and the line of succession is heavily disputed. A fleet of black ships was seen coming from a volcanic island and they attacked a coastal city. I, regrettably, never finished the book and it has lead me to here. If anyone knows this book I would greatly appreciate your help.

Hi everyone,

I've been trying to find a particular book for my husband for a while now but having no actual title, author and a bit of a sketchy description I'm getting nowhere! I would be so grateful if someone could help out, it's become something of a mission for me.

The details I have are as follows; he thinks the title is voyager or voyager something (he isn't 100% sure though!) He read it in the 80's although it could have been written before this for all I know. The vague plot he remembers is that it started as a sort of mystery thriller, a man was missing so the main character travels to somewhere remote (possibly nepal) to find him. When he gets there it turns mystical with the man explaining to him that the earth is intelligent, self governing and adjusts itself accordingly to temperatures rising, changes in atmosphere etc. So humans are a bit like a virus and are controlled in numbers by climate change etc. Something like that anyway, he was very vague and this is the most I managed to get out of him. Anybody have any clue?

Ok hey I have two books that I really can't remember a lot about.

First book, this is the one I really want to get. Ok so it's kinda a dystopian novel and this girl gets "rescued" by these people but she doesn't trust them so she breaks into the leaders office. To do this undetected I'm pretty sure she had to swim through something and in the ocean. When she was in his office, I think she found something about his daughter.

The second book I read like 5 years ago and it was about a girl that had powers and she was getting henna tattoos with this boy and she started seeing birds being slaughtered in a vision and she hurts the boy. She then gets sent to her grandma who lives in like Texas or Arizona.

That's all I remember please help.

It's a book about a teen (I think it's a teen) who sells/bottles his soul in exchange for immortality. There was a part in the book where he was on a plane with his family and wanted the plane to go down to test out his immortality. The cover was a (I guess) melting white face mask with fire. Someone please help, I've been looking for to damn long. I think the author's name was close to Darren Shaw (Creator of Cirque Du Freak) since that's where I remember getting the book. This was back in 6th grade and it's been 6 years and I can't find it.

I read these 2 books about 8ish years ago, so I don't remember the titles but I remember the details and google isn't helping me at all.
Book #1: All I can remember about this book is that it about a girl and a unicorn, they travel through a few tapestries. Not a picture book.
Book #2: I remember a lot more about this book. It is about a boy and a few friends who are in a town that has a door that is guarded in town that is separated by a stream or river with eels that eat people and their faces change based on the person's face that they ate. I think the book had a small leopard or something next to the door. I remember the door took them to like a fantasy place and he found like his uncle in there that he thought was dead.

Any help at all is extremely grateful, I've thought about this so much for the past few years.

I'm really glad I found this community, I read a looot of books, so hopefully I can contribute in answering questions as well as getting help!

Speaking of which, I just remembered a YA fantasy novel I read around 2008. It has (at least) two main characters, a boy and a girl, whose perspectives are switched between. The girl is a dragon/fairy creature locked away in a tower and has been since she was little, and the person who locks her in stole her wings - ripped/cut them right off her back, I remember them describing the wounds. I think the captor claims she saved the girl from being murdered. The captor wears the wings as a cape, and either uses them to fly or is trying to figure out how to use them to fly. Near the end of the book the girl breaks out of her room and finds her wings up on the wall, at which point her magic calls to them and they reattach. She flies away and meets the boy who was racing to the tower on horseback.

That's as much as I can remember! One or two details might be slightly wrong, but I distinctly remember the scene where her wings flew to her and reattached to the scarred nubs on her back.

Any help appreciated!

I don’t remember much about this book, just the cover has a dragon on it , either looking down from a mountain peak or the top of a building.

The only part of the story besides vague snippets that I remember is the beginning. The main character either goes into the cellar to get something or to hide from the dragon but he is the only survivor of a dragon attack? The whole village is gone. That is all I remember. Been looking for this book for days.

Any help would be great thanks!

I remember only a few things:

1) the protagonist was female

2) she was in a cult that was literally under ground.

3) when she got out she marveled at the fact that women's dresses no longer had large poofy sections at the wrist and instead had poofy sections at the shoulder.

4) she was shocked at how much time had passed.

5) she was nobility of some kind

Around 2014-2015 I was assigned a book in my eighth-grade reading class

It was about a girl whose family had to move to a new area because her father had murdered someone and they were under witness protection. The story started on her first day at her new school. I remember a scene before she left where she was talking with her mother about how she and her sister had to go by different last names in order to stay safe.

The main character was very reserved I think. She ate lunch outside by herself, writing poems in a journal. Either during the same day or later that week a boy sat nearby with a sketchbook and began drawing. Eventually, he approaches the main character and shows her a portrait he had drawn of her, They continue talking and the boy Invites her over to his house. Shortly after, thr main character learns the boy's last name and realizes that he was the son of the man her father murdered.

Upon finding out about this, The main character leaves school early, not before throwing up in the parking lot.

I didn't read much past that.

I can't remember many details but I think the book cover was dark green and the love interest may have been named Brandon or something similar?

I also distinctly remember the writing being very emotional? A few classmates and I had talked about how it was difficult to read through some chapters in class without crying.

I don't remember much but I read it when I was about 8 and have been trying to remember since! It was about a girl who found a dollhouse with her guy friend. They went inside the doll house and every room they entered was a whole new adventure, often in a different time era. At one point, the guy had a bento box.

Don't think it's Time Windows by Reiss.

I don’t have much info on it, but I’ll do the best I can. The book starts out with the main character playing a video game online, and he talks about how he’s fairly good but there’s this person who NO ONE has ever been able to beat before. The guy is just too good and he wrecks everyone on the game. Eventually somewhere in the beginning of the book the main character beats him and is absolutely shocked that he does, as is everyone else in the game.
Shortly after this, things start to haywire for the main character. He explains that his shower (or sink, I can’t remember exactly) gets so hot that it scalds his hand, and when he looked at the knob it was turned so far that it cracked the tile. Also, he explains that his dryer burned his clothes into nothing, even though it had never done that before.
I remember that he worked at a robotics center (or something similar), and the robots there start to go haywire as well and try to hurt him. There is one machine that’s sort of like an arm that grabs things, and another that’s more of a half complete humanoid robot.
Eventually in the story you learn that the person he beat in the game actually died, and it foreshadows that everything could be haunted by this person.

This is about all I remember of the plot. My memory is telling me that the book had a purplish and possibly greenish cover with red lettering for the title. It definitely wasn’t a bestseller by any means but it was an amazing book. That’s basically all the info I have on it, but any help would be extremely appreciated. Thank you!!

Ah I'm getting kind of desperate trying to find this book lol ;-;

Basically, I'm doing a project with someone and their summary of their book was "a mother with two kids who have been raised by their grandparents their whole life has to step in and be a mother for the first time in her life. She also have to find a way to change her kids to a different school so they could experience a better childhood. She has to find a way to understand the identity of her kids so they can trust what she does." They're busy today and they haven't told me what the title of the book is and I need to know it to do my part so please help me! [I posted this on librarything and Reddit as well but got no replies yet]

Hi everyone. I read a book back in high school that was really interesting but for the life of my I can only remember a few details, so I’m hoping someone can help me out.

One of the details is that the main character had an old leg injury from a car crash he was in that killed his father. It’s later implied that the car crash was his fathers suicide.

The other detail is that he goes on these morning jogs with his girlfriend and at one point says something along the lines of, “I was always trying to keep up to her and she was always trying to stay one step ahead.

The way I remember it is that it was a mystery book but that’s it.
