Monique’s comments from the What's the Name of That Book??? group.

A while back, at least five years, I read a wlw historical western. I read quite a few around then actually, some titles I remember...this one I can't.

Something Happened (don't recall what...which is why I want to reread it!) and somehow one of the ladies ends up on a stagecoach. The stagecoach stops at a hotel in the desert/on the prairie - maybe a lady on the coach was to work at the hotel. The memory I have is a singular building with a lot of sand. I'm reasonably sure it's not an Oregon or Santa Fe trail type novel.

Stagecoach keeps going (or it's another run) and gets attacked(?)

Turns out the stagecoach driver is female.

Both ladies end up running the hotel as man and wife.

I thought it was Crossing the Wide Forever, but I'm not sure. The blurb doesn't sound right. (It's not, I just finished that.)

I found And Love Came Calling, which IS about a stagecoach driver, but according to Goodreads I haven't read it, and it's not on the kindle.

Does anyone have an idea of what this book is?

It is NOT Backwards to Oregon, Hidden Truths, (Jae), Innocent Hearts, Promising Hearts (Radclyffe). It was historical and not futuristic.

Kyla Stone - Edge of Collapse series
Jack Hunt - After it Turns Dark series

I'm on an EMP kick at the moment, and wondering if there are any other EMP books aside from After the Lights Go Out.

Yes, I have seen this list - https://www.goodreads.com/list/show/1...

Hah! This sounds fun.

Four Respectable Ladies Seek Part-time Husband

I'd added that last one to my want to read in January this year

Okay so I forgot a book I read like 8 years ago that I would like to reread. It's based in Montana around Butte and Bozeman in the old western days. There is a woman who runs an inn and fell in love with 2 men. She also rescued a prostitute from being abused. Please tell me somebody knows the book😂

Lonesome Dove and Redeeming Love by Francine Rivers aren't it.

What is the story's time period and location?"

If I knew that, I would have included it two years ago when I originally asked about it. Based on what I *thought* it was in, its adult historical fiction, but it also could me a memoir. It could be thriller, mystery, time travel, post apocalyptic, dystopian, YA or adult.

I haven't found it yet. I had thought it was maybe a snippet from something else. I'm dead certain I've read it though. Not many books I've read have twins in them.

Sounds like it should be a Sunfire romance.

Hey, I'm trying to find a Japanese novel that I forgot the title and the author.. it is about a girl that trying to bring back her brother (or sister)'s spirit because her sibling is crossing a sacred bridge where the other side of the bridge is the spirit world so her sibling's soul is trapped inside it.. anyone read this book? I'm trying google it but nothing matches.

It isn't Spirited Away.

How do I keep track of books I want to read then?

Roughing it in the bush; or, Life in Canada

I found this the other day - haven't read it yet though.

I Am Still Alive

Be Not Far from Me

Alone

I'm probably pushing it, but, are there any contemporary *fiction* books (NOT post-apocalyptic/dystopian), where someone lives in an abandoned town/village/hamlet? Not a singular house in the woods/forest/bush either.

Like, say, the fishing village I just scrolled past on facebook (abandoned in 1990) where a traveller stumbles across it and ekes out a living from the forest, the abandoned gardens, collects up the half wild goats and chooks and utilises anything left behind.

Maybe the townspeople come back or not.

Scarlett by Ripley isn't what I'd after, nor is My Side of the Mountain (although that is closer) I'm envisioning houses and things still standing. The 'real world' being a weeks hike out or something.

thats it. Totally not titled The Changeling...No clue how I got THAT. (Unless I read another book by that title around the same time.)

I read a book with a green cover a bit earlier than 1987, in Australia, about a cat. I don't remember the cat being a *kitten*. But she was lost and then found. The one I recall was titled Princess, and had a Persian cat on the cover. That was one of the first books I vowed never to read again.

Found it. That isn't the cover I remember, I'm sure it was green.

I've been reminded of a book my cousin was looking for a while ago (Around 2011) in the same vein as Maggie Stiefvater, Amanda Hocking, Julie Kagawa and Holly Black. I know I found it for her, and read it. I could have sworn it was called [The] Changeling, and it was a stand alone book [then, at any rate] with a 'grey' cover and a pram/wrapped up baby on it. I can't find it again. Does anyone recognise it?

Quite. Which is why I focussed on the word ‘icy.’
