Find a book!

Back in my early teens (some 10-12 years ago) I borrowed this book from a friend of mine and recently I've gotten the urge to read it again, but of course, I returned the book and the friend and I kind of drifted apart (as you do with old high school friends). I've been searching, but no dice so far, hopefully some of you folks can help me out.

It was a romance, set both in modern day and the old west. This girl goes to her grandmother's (maybe her aunt's?) and discovers this mirror, and through said mirror she meets a boy from 1800s. The grow up knowing each other thanks to this mirror (they hold up messages and what not) and eventually, one day, she ends up going through the mirror and meeting him face to face.

I remember she ends up going back and forth a couple times: from present to past to present again and usually while in the present finds out something horrible about her cowboy hubby that she has to try and change. Like one time she finds out that he's supposed to die, another time that she's going to marry his brother....

So... any ideas?

*fingers crossed*

ETA: Book Found!

Hi my friend just put this on fb but no help so far so was wondering if anybody has any other ideas

"Has anyone read a series of children's books about four evil dinner ladies who ride motorbikes and have nosebleeds into mashed potato and pretend it's ketchup?"

Thats all she remembers unfortunately, its not much to go on but if anyone remembers then it'd be much appreciated!

Thanks in advance.

Back around 2000, I posted to one of the Highlander mailing lists about a book I'd just come across. It was a fairly thick historical romance featuring a male lead who was named either "Duncan" or "MacLeod". I'm not sure if he was immortal, supernatural, or just hunky. He had a friend who came by from time to time named "Adam".

It was definitely not a Highlander tie-in novel -- I remember it having a fairly elaborate romance-type cover featuring shades of blue (and purple?) and black.

I saw this book a couple of months ago in the recently published section, but, at the time, I resisted the temptation to buy it -- except now that I've given in to temptation, I can't for the life of me remember what the book was called.

As far as I can remember,  it was about a man pursuing a killer/monster/man -- his son's killer?  I think it was something like that -- through a winter wasteland.  The killer's name, I believe, was Mr Winter, or something along those lines, and the cover blurb made it sound like an amazing fusion between The Dark Tower and something Neil Gaiman would write.  The cover itself was also kind of winter-y looking, white or light blue.  I know this isn't much to go on, but...yeah.

Many thanks in advance!

Edit:  Found it!  It was Mr Shivers by Robert Bennett.

It was set in a research lab on the bottom of the ocean. People start to suffer from strange ailments. They bring in a doctor and he and a scientist discover it is all being caused by a signal being emitted from a alien weapons cach right under the ocean floor. I would love to read more the auther but i can not remember who it was beside being male. Thanks for any help.

A long time ago and in a galaxy far, far away, I saw a pair of books in a college bookstore that looked fascinating... but I had other classes to worry about.

The text book contained various articles criticiquing Joseph Campbell's Power of Myth. (Or was it his Transformations of Myths through Time?)

All I remember about the two books is that their covers had a wide pink stripe...

Any ideas?

EDIT: After days of looking, I found the study guide and the text just as soon as I posted here.  Thanks.

This was a pretty old-looking mass market paperback when I read it a decade ago, so I would guess it was from the 80's or early 90's. It was about a boy (twelve years old or so) who lived on a large farm with his father (possibly other family members too), and who owned a white horse. On their property was a sort of pit that was poorly fenced off, and the horse was kept in a field that was either fenced by barbed wire, or by a fence which had been broken and the boy had failed to fix it. The horse was terrified by thunderstorms, and one night (I believe while the boy's father was away on some sort of business) during a thunderstorm the horse broke through the fence and fell into the pit and broke its leg. The boy then goes out to check on his horse and finds it in the pit. I specifically remember the rather graphic description of how the boy can see the bone jutting up through the skin in the horse's leg. The boy (I believe remembering what his father had told him earlier in the book about horses not healing from severely broken bones) then goes and gets a rifle, and, though he is very upset, shoots his horse and kills it. As I remember it the last sentence of the book was something along the lines of, "I pulled the trigger." It was quite a long book, I think at least 400 pages. I've been searching for this book for many years now and I would be very grateful to anyone who can help me find it!

I cannot for the life of me remember the title or author of this book, but it is not obscure at all.

PBS or the BBC did a miniseries. It was about an ugly woman married to an accountant. He leaves her for a gorgeous blond. She decides to wreak revenge, and breaks her ties with her past by burning down the family home, getting plastic surgery, and getting rich. Also there is a part where she works for a guy who is into S&M; he's a prison warden or something.

I THINK it was made into an American comedy for the screen with Roseanne Barr (!) as the ugly woman.

Anyone know what I am talking about?
Thanks!

There's this book that I remember from reading as a kid. It's about a boy and a girl who go and explore this old guy's house (it might have been his grandparents) they start some type of club in the attic and clean up some old moose head? And there was a kind of swamp outside and they built a small bridge over a big pit that was in the swamp so people didn't fall in.

I know it's super-vague but that's all I remember. =\

I only remember the vague details, but a girl was in a mental hospital or group therapy of some sort after her boyfriend died falling from some steps (backward I think). She was depressed. I know NOTHING else.
