SOLVED! Her Dark Secrets by Victoria Wright

I’m trying to find a book I read when I was 16 in a class. It follows three points of view, the killer/kidnapper, an investigator and a victim. At some point in the book, the killer assassinates a woman (not the victim that we see the point of view of) with a scarf, he strangles her with it, I’m pretty sure. The killer lives in a secret room in a mall or similar place where he works, pretty sure he’s janitor or something like that. He abducts a young woman (the victim we see the point of view of) and a young boy and sequesters them in said secret room. Pretty sure the young woman has a blindfold on, but not the young boy. Pretty sure the killer has a bomb too. The author is a woman, known for writing books about violent things happening to women (abductions, hostage situations, etc.).

My sister and I have been trying to remember the name of a book our mom read to us as kids (about 25 years ago, so early 2000’s) for YEARS now.

It was about a dog who I’m pretty sure was named Poppy, and Poppy was a puppy who was running all over the place (under/over a log, through the mud, etc) and had to go home for a bath. The book had a toy that was attached to a string where you would pull it across the pages to “jump over the log” and follow along with the book. The toy would vibrate and shake and go back to its original place.

The dog was a light brown colour with white spots around the eyes. Shaped like a fuzzy little potato. The pages of the book had a hole cutout so the dog could interact with each page and was protected by a clear plastic shell on cover of the book.

I vaguely recall there being something about a fence that was potentially broken and the cover page having the typical children’s book style of artwork with grass and a river, but I could be remembering these two things wrong.

It would mean a lot to my sister and I if someone could help us find the book. I’ve googled so many terms and phrases trying to find it but nothing close is showing up at all.

I saw this was asked before, but I didn’t really see any suggestions that fit what I was looking for.

BACK IN MY DAY, circa 2011, I bought these books from the scholastic book fair, called Coke or Pepsi. It had fun activities and questionnaires to fill out, and one of them I think you have your friends fill out. My mom probably threw mine out, but if I found them and read them, I’d laugh and cringe at my teen years.

ANYWAY, are there still books out there like that? Maybe I’m in the middle of a pre midlife crisis and need some nostalgia, I’m gonna be 30 in a few years

Thank you😭

The Gladue Principles: A Guide to Jurisprudence. It's no longer in print but I would really like a print copy if any comes across it!

I remember reading a children’s picture book about a kid who only wants to eat chocolate, so his parents decide to give him what he wants and make all of his meals out of chocolate. I specifically remember a roast chicken meal made of solid chocolate. In the end, the child of course grows tired of chocolate, careful what you wish for etc. I also think that the characters may have been animals. Bears or bunnies? Sound familiar? It’s not Chocolate Fever, I’ve had that suggested frequently.

The book was about an expedition to Antarctica I think. At one point the researchers find a cave with giant creatures inside that look like penguins, after they continue to explore this cave they find the entrance to a city built by an ancient civilization. That's all I remember

So guys i just remembered a novel I lost in my lightnovel libary does anyone know of a novel where the MC goes to a secret realm and meets a crazy rabbit girl with a chainsaw knife then he learns something called teeth energy and gets taken by the strongest moon rabbit, who's a crazy bih, and he absorbs all the moonlight in their special ceremony. There's also a guy who's a scammer who claims to see the future but can actually see the future.

I can’t figure this out! It’s a book in a series of 3, one of which has a phoenix on the cover. Another of the books she loses her memory. She’s something like the first female magician

It was an old paperback, likely written in the seventies. I don’t remember the title or the author.

There were multiple alien races. There were humans in the story, but I don’t think it took place on earth. I have a vague idea that there was some diplomatic stuff going on.

The marsupial thing was interesting because birth control wasn’t an issue for them. Marsupials give birth when their babies are about the size of jellybeans. The newborn then has to find its way to the pouch, an epic journey, truly survival of the fittest. The marsupial aliens in the story weren’t emotionally invested in these fetuses (feti?), viewing them the same way humans would menstrual discharge. They felt sorry for the females of placental races because of the terrible burden that kind of reproduction puts on them.

I don’t remember any of the characters. I don’t remember the story. But that one bit of world building absolutely fascinated me. If anyone has read it or knows of it, I would be really grateful to know the name because I’d like to revisit it.

Looking for a YA novel I read in the late ‘80s to early ‘90s. It had an adolescent girl main character who is living alone, maybe because her dad died, and this is kept as a secret. There’s a neighbor boy in the story. At some point, the girl goes to his house or takes care of him. The boy gets sick with a fever, and I remember she either crawls into bed with him or kisses him while he has the fever. I posted about this back in 2006ish and someone knew what it was but I forgot the name of this title again of course.
