BookSleuth
Saturday, January 7th, 2006
While ordering a book from abebooks, I came across their forum called BookSleuth. Don’t remember the title or author, but remember most of the story? Post your question and other readers help you find the missing information. A great way to share your knowledge of books, and to finally figure out what that annoying book you read as kid was called.
And yes, I did post a question. A Young Adult adventure/romance set during the Napoleonic wars. Something about a sapphire necklace, I think. Has been driving me nuts for about 5-6 years now. If anyone out there has any idea about a title or author, I would be extremely grateful.
LATER…
Okay, now I feel rather silly. Less than 24 hours after posting on BookSleuth, and less than 4 hours after posting this original message, I found the book. The Sapphire Pendant, by Audrey White Beyer. Odd thing is, that is exactly the title I thought it was. And I know the last time I looked on Amazon for it, it wasn’t there. Well, no matter. The lost book is now found, bought, and on its way here in a few days. Yahoo!
