It's a fairly new book so I'm thinking it would have been written after 2003. The edition I had featured a man diving in boxers or shorts, just diving or swimming with a few flowers or maybe bees around him. I think it was around the Victorian era or early 1900s. The main writer doesn't live in the country but he goes there for a break, might be English countryside or American. It mentions a couple of other writers or poets that he knew, can't remember who but along the lines of Oscar Wilde or Dickens, probably not that famous. It's about a young woman working as a maid or servant in a cottage or lodge of some kind and a famous writer comes to stay and I think she has feelings for him but he is gay or bi. I am looking for a book and can't remember the title and it's hard to explain what it's about.

It's okay! Great news: The world is full of great books! Here are a few ways to find more. Sometimes, it's just not going to happen, and you can't find that elusive book you've been searching for.

Goodreads’ browse-able lists of titles that readers have shelved in unique categories, such as authors’ professions or decades of publication, is also be helpful.įor recently published books, the reviews in Booklist Online are broken down by detailed genre. If you can remember just one word, use the search function on Goodreads or Library Thing to find long lists of titles with a particular word. NoveList and NoveList K-8 (in-library use only) Library Databases (log in with your library card) If you can only remember what the cover looks like, try this cover-search tool.

CrowdsourcingĪ Goodreads group with searchable discussion posts and thousands of questions and answers.Ī LibraryThing group of ~3K members - many of whom are librarians or library-adjacent - who help solve book mysteries via threaded discussions. One of our librarians solved a book mystery by searching “USS You-Know-Who” - the name of a boat in the story that the patron happened to remember. You can also try googling one key detail you remember from a book. (That’s a real-life example of a book a patron was asking for: It Could Always Be Worseby Margot Zemach.) Try Google! Type in everything you can remember about the book - as in, “picture book rabbi animals advice yiddish” - and scroll through the results. Or, last but not least, leave a comment on this post! Before You Start Searching yourself is a good place to start then, you can post to a listserv or discussion forum, where someone might recognize it.

Online resources can help with your search for a half-remembered book, even if all you have is a basic plot line. All these details are clues in identifying the title and author of the book. And we can’t figure out the mystery every single time, but we do have a few tricks to help find the answer.įirst, pin down everything you can remember about the book, plot, character names, time period in which the book may have been published, genre, etc. Readers often ask librarians for help finding these kinds of books.

Fiction is cataloged by author and title, not by subject or plot line, which makes identifying books by just their storyline difficult. It can be tough to remember the title and author of a book you read a long time ago-even if it was a book that was really important to you.
