Vicki is looking for a book she caught a glimpse of recently – and is hopeful one of you will know which book it was: On Columbus Day, I was in a waiting room browsing the Kindle Storefront. I had just happened on a book that looked promising and I was called back for my appointment. I thought I’d take a more indepth look later, but couldn’t find it. It’s driving me crazy and Google is no help … Continue reading HaBO: A Moment in the Kindle Storefront→
This request comes from Marix, who is looking for a historical romance she read: I have been trying to find this book for ages and have had no luck on the “name that book” forum on librarything so upon advisement from those lovely ladies I decided to contact the big guns. I have no idea of the title but I’ll tell you what I can remember. So here are the details: Published before 2003 Historical romance … Continue reading HaBO: Historical with Crushed Roses→
This HaBO request comes from Lisa, who is looking for a British-set contemporary that she borrowed from the library: If anyone can help, it’s the bitches! I’m trying to find a book I read several years ago, set somewhere in England- village-y setting, contemporary. Heroine is a single mom with a few teenage kids. She’s a garden designer. Hero is wealthy hotness, of course, and buys some fancy castle-like place in the hood. She’s been covertly using his abandoned … Continue reading HaBO: Real Heroes Haul Dirt→
This HaBO comes from Alea, who is looking for a category romance: I’ve tried all manner of variants through Fiction DB and can’t identify it. It’s a category romance, probably from the early 1990s. Heroine has just published her third book to some acclaim. Hero has obtained the rights to film her first novel. This was highly autobiographical–including embarrassing moments and an attempted suicide jumping into “Jumper’s Creek” or some such (which I would have sworn was the title of … Continue reading HaBO: Heroine Novelist with Heroic Movie Rights→
This request comes from Kaitlyn, who is looking for a vampire romance she read long ago: Oh, man, hi. I love you guys, you’re the best. I… I need to find a book. I read this book years ago, but I’ve no idea actually how long ago it was. More than two years, but less than ten and I feel like the book was fairly new. It was a vampire romance. I know. I KNOW. And … Continue reading HaBO: Ye Olde Vampire Romance→
This request is from Nancy, who is looking for a fantasy romance from some years back: Sometime in the late 80s, or possibly early 90s, I read this book – can’t remember it’s name and I’m going crazy here. It’s my white whale internet search – maybe if I just Google MOAR BETTER this time I’ll find it? The theme was Mists of Avalon-esque, in an alternate universe Arthurian Britain – proud, independent priestess with waist-length silver … Continue reading HaBO: Fantasy Romance, With Requisite Silver Hair→
This Help a Bitch Out request comes from Mara, who found this book long ago in a vacation rental: I've recently discovered your site and countless posts laters, I'm hooked! I've only started exploring the romance genre this year, but I'm having a lot of fun figuring out what works for me. This exploration had made me want to go back to the first romance I ever read when I was a teenager to see … Continue reading HaBO: Contemporary Revenge Romance in the Beach House→
This request comes from Jennie, who is looking for a book based on a teaser chapter she read awhile back: Last year I read a teaser chapter at the end of another book, and now I can't get it out of my head and would like to read the whole story. Of course, I can't remember the name of the book the teaser chapter was from, or what book the chapter was in! The book … Continue reading HaBO: We’re Hunting a Historical Teaser Chapter→
This HaBO request comes from Meredith, who is looking for a book she read a long time ago: I'm hoping the bitchery can help me find a book I snagged from my aunt's bookshelf. Sometimes I think I dreamed this book up, other times I'm convinced it must be real. Surely someone can figure out what the hell I actually read. Naturally, I can't remember the title or author, but here's what I do remember: … Continue reading HaBO: American Historicals with Cross Country Shenanigans→
This request comes from Dorothea, who is looking for a book she read long ago, back in the 80s. Warning – this one is a wee bit graphic in paragraph 3. There's this book….I'm not sure if I want to reread it, or just find other people who have read it so we can huddle together, rocking quietly in a corner, hugging each other. I really need to know if it is as traumatic as … Continue reading HaBO: A Historical From Long Long Ago (Ok, the 80s)→
This request is from Queeny, who remembers so much detail, I'm certain one of you will identify this book almost immediately. I read this book when I was at the impressionable age of 13, stolen from my mother's collection (also because I was at that stage where I had done reading all the books I owned, so I was getting experimental and conducting raids on my parents' libraries (romance and sci-fi/mystery, respectively). Unfortunately, I can't … Continue reading HaBO: Better Courtship Through Science!→
