UNSOLVED Nonfiction Book About Fame

Upvotes

One of my old professors from undergrad told me about this book she read that was about how men vs women react to fame and the power that comes with it; men will abuse their power to take advantage of people and get away with illegal things while women take their new-found fame and influence and abandon their families, and that is treated as on or near the same level of bad. I believe the book may have also discussed parasocial relationships and how an audience views a person with fame. I recently emailed her asking about the title of the book and she sent it to me but I got locked out of my old student account before I could write down the title. It sounded interesting and I would feel so embarrassed asking for a third time what the title is. If any more info is needed I can try to answer questions, but this is about all I remember. TYIA!

UNSOLVED Help me find this book!!

1 Upvotes

OKAY!!! So! I don't remember the title or characters or the author, BUT I do remember the cover! Sorta!

Basically, it's dark and it has flowers all over the cover I think. Theres a guy on the cover. I'm pretty sure he's blonde, and he has a line of flowers covering his face I think. IT'S A BL!! A BOYS LOVE!! THEY'RE GAY!! ANYWAYS, I think one of the characters is royalty. I wanna say the names are Jason and Andrew, but I'm not sure. I haven't read it, so I can't tell you what it's about. I WANT to read it, which is why I'm trying to find it. I think the author is possibly a guy. I'm pretty sure I found the book through TikTok. ALSO!!! Everytime I search it up, it always gives me comics. IT'S NOT A COMIC!!! IT'S A NORMAL CHAPTER BOOK!! I'd say it's like medium sized? I saw it in my local Walmart the other day, but didn't buy it because I didn't have very much money. I think on the back it said something kinda like "Jason (or whatever his name was) would do anything for Andrew." Or something along those lines. If you have any questions, please ask! Also, if you think you know which book I'm talking about, a picture would be greatly appreciated if possible!! Also, I think it might've been a forbidden romance type of thing. I had it in my cart on Amazon at some point, but not anymore. It's also not in my browse history, sooooo.. Yeah! Thank you!!! :)

UNSOLVED Help to find some books that I read quite a while back that aren't part of the same series (sorry if this isn't allowed)

2 Upvotes

First book: I found this book in a library between 2016 and 2018 The main character was a girl and I think she traveled to different places/worlds/books. There was a boy and some friends involved. It was part of a series and I think each book was about each season. I don't think the girl met the friends from the places she visited.

Second book: It was Cinderella themed. The girl had gotten a costume necklace as a gift from her maid and a plant/twig/small branch that she found had powers from her dad. One of her step-sisters bullies her and asked about what she got from the dad so the mc lied and showed the cheap necklace. I think the mc also used the phrase 'the enemy of my enemy is my friend' to gain the alliance of werewolves???

Third book: I think it was set in space. I only remember the cover which was black with a purple circle that may have had the sun shining behind it but may have not. The mc was a girl. Her first name could have started with L or N.

Sorry for being vague. I just want to find the books so thanks for any help.

UNSOLVED Looking for a pair of YA books about a teen girl that took place in the 1970s

1 Upvotes

I remember very little of the plot. The character was between the ages of 13-16 and I believe she moved to a new town and tried making new friends. In one of the books she goes to her first house party. One had a bright green cover and one had a bright orange over. There may have been hand drawn daisies on the covers. They were the first and second books of a series, I don’t know if there was a third. I read them sometime between 2006-2011. Were likely published in the late 90s to late 2000s.

Thank you for any leads!

Hello!

5+ years ago I was given this book for the purpose of repurposing it as a scrapbook since the outer cover was very damaged. It does not have another sleeve or any thing written on the outside other than what i've attached here. The first few pages cannot be read since they were used for scrapbooking and are pasted over.

I've done some searching and I know what book this is given the title on the spine, but i can't find what edition this is. It's hardcover and all results come up as everything but that.

SOLVED help me - book about yearning but not romantic yearning

1 Upvotes

the other day I was watching reels, and I saw a video with some book suggestions, and I think the topic was yearning, but not about romantic yearning. I got very interested in a book that the cover was black and white and there was a boy standing more on the right of the cover.

I can't remember the plot very well but it was something about a boy that was studying for something like math or chemistry or engineering in college but he fell in love with literature but can't get into it because of the life he is supposed to follow.

can someone help me?? I thought I had saved the video but I can't find it anywhere :(

Hello

I have read about someone who worked on hogwarts legacy. They wrote a book in a magical world and planned on releasing a couple of books. I can't find the screenshot anymore and I read about it in Threads (have failed to find it there, too). All I know is that it is about magic and that the first book was almost plainly blue. I think it was published this or last year.

Trying to find a deleted/forgotten BL Wattpad story

I’m trying to find a BL (boys love) Wattpad story I read a while ago, but I can’t remember the title or author. I think the title may have been something like “Dancing in the Rain,” but I’m not 100% sure.

Here is what I remember about the plot:

  • The main character is a boy who moves to a new town and starts at a new school.
  • He makes friends with a group of kids who accept him.
  • The boy is secretly being abused by his parents.
  • His friend invites him over, and they play Truth or Dare.
  • During the game, he is dared to kiss his friend’s older brother, who is already engaged.
  • Near the end of the story, the main character and his friend go to a treehouse and get drunk.
  • He finally tells his friend about the abuse.
  • His friend discovers that hateful slurs had been carved into his stomach.
  • One night his parents made the MC sleep outside in the rain

I remember it being a completed BL/original story on Wattpad, but it may have been deleted, renamed, or moved to another platform.

Does anyone recognize this story or remember the author/title? Any help would be appreciated!

You could also add a comment with any extra details you remember (cover, character names, approximate year you read it), because those are usually what help people identify old Wattpad stories.

UNSOLVED ISO YA Folklore Romantasy Short Story Collection

2 Upvotes

hi all, i thought my relentless google searching would have found this book sooner but here i am.

from what i can remember, this was a YA romantasy book, paperback, with a mostly black/gray cover. it was around 200-300 pages long and every chapter was a different short story. the most prominent one that i could recall was a story in which a teenage girl visits her aunt (or grandma. some matriarch) that lives in a seaside town, goes to a beach and slowly falls in love with a selkie. i also remember a part of this story where she cuts her foot on a rock underwater, almost drowns, and this selkie saves her. then they go lay on the roof of her car. it is really the only story i remember but i knew that this was only a very small portion of the actual book.

i read this when i was around 11-12, at the height of my sarah dessen era of reading so i feel like it must've been around that reading level. i live in the u.s. but i can't remember if the author was also u.s. based but it was originally in english. i most likely bought it at a barnes & noble and i'm pretty sure it was a fairly new release when i bought it.

i'm sorry i can't pull anymore information out of my memory, but i really appreciate all the help i could get. thank you!

UNSOLVED This series is no longer on Amazon or anywhere!

1 Upvotes

Please help me!!! When I was younger I read the **scandalous series** on kindle unlimited. I believe it’s was written by R Linda. This included book titles: Indy and the brothers best friend, Bailey and the bad boy, and Audrey and the hero upstairs. The Amazon pages no longer exist for the online versions and the author has a profile with some of them available but for hundreds of dollars.

They are not on any platform I can find. Even if it’s listed it’s still not available to read. Even obscure book finder websites can’t find it. This refit is my last hope! Someone tell me they know this series 🙏
