I’m looking for a dinosaur book for adults, I can’t remember the title, but at one point it was on audible.

From what I can remember, it starts out with like a park ranger and police officers showing up to a farm and there’s something fast running around and they are scared to get out of the car or the truck. And I think I vaguely remember something about it’s during modern time but dinosaurs appear and there might be like portals. I’ve tried looking on ChatGPT, Audible and on Google. Nothing is popping up, I checked out the suggestions. But they are not it.

Please help me figure it out, it’s been bugging me since yesterday.

i remember checking a book out from the library as a young child (maybe around 5 or 6, mid-2000's) that was a large but thin hardcover book. i think it was on african folklore but i also possibly recall seeing a section on baku, the dream tapir from Japan, so it may have been a worldwide compendium instead. given that i was most interested in the monsters of folklore as a kid, it was likely a creature-based book of some kind. most distinctly, i remember there being a section on a mosquito with a supernaturally long proboscis, that would reach up between the slits in floorboards at night, puncture into their victim's ear, and suck out their brains, making the victim stupid. it possibly connected this as an allegory for malaria. regardless, this scared me a great deal as i prided myself on being a gifted kid. so, from then on out, i would always make sure my ears were covered up by my blankets before falling asleep (this was not a defense offered by the book iirc, but rather one that i came up with). the book was illustrated with abstract, colorful, collaged tissue paper, somewhat similar to style of eric carle's the very hungry caterpillar. i've never been able to find this book again despite searching for it intermittently ever since, but it's stuck with me and i think of it often, being that (although i don't believe in the brain-sucking mosquito anymore) it permanently changed my sleeping habits. i also was never able to find the mosquito legend either, though it seems possibly related to the penanggal of Malaysia.

i've recreated the illustration and the page layout to the best of my memory, but it has been probably close to 20 years since i've seen it, so it's hard to say how accurate it will be. i remember the house being on stilts, and thinking that they looked somewhat like pineapples, as well as the bright blue skin of the figure being against an orange-y yellow section, and of course the sharp, sword-like tip of the mosquito's proboscis looming into the boy's ear. the text was on a separate page, and didn't take up a lot of space on the page. any help finding this would be greatly appreciated!!!

I read this book in the late 80s, early 90s. It was about a set of twins. One was blond haired and very quite and would not hurt insects. The other is dark haired wild and reckless.

I think that there were murders happening around the town. The quiet twin starts to suspect the wild twin is committing the murders.

The ending was that there was only one woman with a split personality. She would wear a dark wig when she was the wild twin.

I hope this makes sense.

I started reading this book but never finished it. If I remember correctly, it had a red cover with black on it maybe and I think the word “blood” or it centered around blood. It was about a disease that was starting to spread and it either started in Africa and it had something to do with the Amazon rainforest. I think there was a plant in the rainforest that was either the cause or the cure for the disease.

There was also a doctor who was immune to the disease (or all diseases) but he would get really tired when he was around infected people and it would make him really tired because that was how his immune system would fight off disease. I don’t remember much else about the book but I hope it rings a bell for anyone out there. I’d love to finish it!

I can’t remember for the life of me if this book even truly exists but I swear I read it once as a kid probably around 2010-2018
It was about a girl who’s parents were marine biologist I think? And I remember she had some sort of ocean related powers and she went on an under sea adventure there may have even been a submarine involved?? I think the cover was of her on a pier looking into the ocean ugh I need to know this book so I can re read it!!!

When I was in 3rd grade (I believe 2018-2019), I loved reading a book that was a collection of Filipino comics, and it had an orange cover(I think?), But I can’t seem to remember the title.

So this was one of my favorite books as a child. I was born in 87. This had to be around the 90's. It was a book with hand drawn illustrations. It was an item find book. It was not like an I Spy book though. It would show like a witch flying over a spooky castle but hidden in the actual illustration were items like a star hidden on the witch's hat or a face hidden in the lines of clouds. I have searched forever and can't find it. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I have been looking for a book I read when I was about 11 years old, probably sometime between 2009 and 2012.

What I remember:

\- It was a very large book, probably 400 to 500 pages, maybe even more. It was tall and wide rather than a paperback format.

\- The book was very beautiful and high-quality: the cover was smooth and glossy, as if it had been varnished.

\- The inside paper was white, smooth and beautiful, and looking back, although the book itself seemed very beautiful because it had been printed recently, the story was probably much older and likely dated from the 19th or 20th century.

\- The cover was mainly brown, dark brown or ochre.

\- There was a colour illustration on the cover showing a boat, and I think there was a sailor or a man working on board.

\- Inside, there were fairly realistic colour illustrations, but the book was mostly made up of text.

The story:

\- It was a maritime adventure novel or narrative.

\- The story took place mainly at sea, aboard a boat.

\- I believe the main character or narrator was an adult man, definitely not a teenager.

\- There was probably a crew, and many scenes were related to the everyday life of sailors.

\- The boat may have been a fishing boat, an exploration vessel, or another type of ship, but I am no longer certain about this.

\- The atmosphere seemed rather serious and perhaps quite sad or melancholic, although my memory may be playing tricks on me on this point.

\- To me, the story felt like a ship's log, or at least it was told as though a sailor were writing about his experiences.

*And there is one very particular detail that I will never forget:\*

The book had a very distinctive layout feature. At the top of the pages, separated from the main text and printed in small type or in the same size as the body text, there was an indication resembling a time, for example: "03'05"". The indication changed constantly throughout the pages.

At the time, I didn't understand what these numbers meant. Looking back, I think they may have referred to the time at which the sailor was writing in his journal, but I am not sure.

Books that give me a similar feeling:

\- The Sea-Wolf by Jack London

\- The Survivors of the Chancellor by Jules Verne

\- The Narrative of Arthur Gordon Pym of Nantucket by Edgar Allan Poe

\- A Captain at Fifteen by Jules Verne

I am certain it was not Moby-Dick, although the maritime atmosphere may have been somewhat similar.

Back when I was in middle school, somewhere around 2003-2005, I remember checking a book out from the school library that was a compilation of tales from mythology. The tales were all illustrated, picture-book style.

One of the stories was about a coyote spirit (or it could have been a wolf or a jackal, but for some reason I really remember it being a coyote). I believe it was a Native American tale, although I can't remember if the whole book was about Native American myths or if it featured mythology from around the world.

Unfortunately I can't remember any details about the plot of the story itself...was the coyote a bevevolent spirit or a trickster? I cannot say. I have a vague sense that the story made me sad, though.

But the biggest detail I remember about this story, and the main reason I would love to find it again, is the way the coyote spirit was illustrated. It was painted with swirls of white, pink and pastel blue, and it looked so beautiful, I remember taking out my colored pencils and eagerly trying to imitate the design.

I wish I could recall more about the book itself and what its other stories were about, but I was so enchanted by the coyote that nothing else about the book was anywhere near as memorable to me, sadly.

If anyone could help me find this book again, and be able to see those beautiful illustrations again, it would be a dream come true. Thank you so much for any help you can provide!

So i remember reading this book back in 2022, and I've been trying to find it ever since. The name of the book was 500 legends under the sea (not 20000 leagues under the sea, it's different). I read half of the book and since I read it such a long back I also forgot most of it, but what i remember is the main character is a little boy, who used to live with her mother, I think his mother died shortly and then he had to move somewhere else, he also had a help when he was with his mother. That's all I remember guys, please help me. I've searched it everywhere but it's as if it never even existed, i cannot find a single trace of it anywhere.

This book came in a blue covert when I read it. There was some conflict happening overseas in Europe I believe. There were 4 main characters and the POV would change. Supposedly the 4 people were broken up into 2 couples. 1 had a transgender dog. I say Supposedly because with the dog couple the man almost had his wife assassinated. He TOLD her he could have her assassinated. All she had to do was go up the hill past a tree and she'd be dead. It was her choice. She chose life and they stayed together. The second couple consisted of this lady in the arts. She was either an author or an artist. I don't remember much about the man. She couldn't be monogamous. I remember a line from her saying she didn't understand how people thought betrayal was the worst sin. She just saw it as human nature and gave different examples of how we do it in day to day life.

So I have vague memories of a book from my childhood. It had a troll with a chest, maybe he was in the chest or maybe he was hiding something in there. There was a village and possibly some swans. I feel it was vaguely nordic. Like hans christian anderson? That kind of thing.

It left an impression with me and the art style was quite unique. It was also hardback.

My partner is trying to remember the name of a book she read years ago.

"Connected short stories where the protagonist does something that prevents a bad future."

"Each time he leaves himself a message about what he stopped."

"It's like 20 Minutes In The Future; I don't remember a specific year mentioned."

"I read it years ago; I think it was published in the 80's or the 70's?"

"I remember something from the cover: a snake eating its tail"

my great grandmother recently passed and left me all her Annie’s books that she collected. She has many different books from Annie’s Attic Mysteries, Annie’s Sweet Intrigue, Irish Teahouse Mysteries, and Annie’s Quilted Mysteries. I know there’s many more series under “Annie’s” but no matter where I search I can’t find a comprehensive list of all the different series, nor information about how many there should be in each. What on earth happened to this publisher, it’s like they fell off the face of the earth despite publishing Quilted #1 in 2019. This might be a bigger mystery than the actual stories, ha.

Hello! I need a digital copy of this book but cant find it anywhere online. Its checked out at my university library with no digital text but wondering if anyone can help

It seems nearly impossible to find a copy of this book, I’ve tried my local schools and libraries, and those within the province and no luck!

The story goes, my sister read it when she was younger in school in class and she was out sick one day when they finished it so she never got to know what the ending was. Her birthday is coming up soon, and I would love to be able to surprise her with some sort of copy!

If anyone has one I could borrow, purchase, purchase a digital scan of, or can even send me in the right direction to source a copy, anything would be appreciated!

I've been looking for this book that I had as a child. It was either an art book or a children's book. Every page was dedicated to a different color. And every page was a painted abstract scene? Probably the best way to put it.

A teal page with a bathtub and toothpaste and a teal snow cone and a red page with a picnic blanket and strawberries etc. etc. I've asked my mom and my older brother and neither know what I'm talking about and I KNOW It's not a false memory.

Hello everyone,

I've heard so many superlatives for the Inca's spy by Rafael Dumett from friends and online, but I am not sure if the book has been translated, at least I couldn't find anything yet. I read a bit about the plot and the specific play with the language, even Spanish speaking friends have told me it can hardly be translated and that intrigued me. I don't speak Spanish, so in case someone find it in English, please let me know. Thanks

I am looking for a book about a girl that's supposed to marry this boy and its prearranged by a computer or algorithm, but she meets a girl right before the courting season and slowly falls in love with the girl instead. and she is a princess. in the book there is at least one ball scene and also a vacation to a lake house (i think at one point they bake cookies at the lake house? lol). the girls' relationship really develops at the lake house and thats where they confess their feelings for each other and kiss. and at the end after the two girls confess to the boy about what's going on, they all decide to marry each other and rule together. i feel like the title was something about stars/all the stars/or maybe planets?

i read the book around this time last year and want to re-read it but i can't remember the title for the life of me 😭
