What's the Name of That Book???

I understand the 'no cross-posting from social media' rule - you want people to have actually read the book they're looking for and be able to identify it. In this case, Katie did read the book they're looking for - they linked to someone else's post on Reddit who is also looking for the same book, because their post contained more detail. So could this be unlocked if the header was amended to be more descriptive?

What was the book, Becca? (Or did you mean that Thomas found the other thread?) I can't see it anywhere (incl. Reddit).
Thomas's thread: https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/... (unsolved, no book listed)
Deanne's thread: https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/... (unsolved and locked, though a Mod said Thomas's was solved? Was it?! I think maybe the 'found' was misunderstood?)
Reddit (still open, no books mentioned): https://www.reddit.com/r/tipofmytongu...

As far as I can see book hasn't been found, even though Lobstergirl added a comment saying that Thomas's thread was solved.

My comment on Thomas's thread where I said 'Looks like you found it already, but here's the thread Deanne mentioned' - I'm referring to Thomas finding the thread, not the book! I will amend for clarification. (Lobstergirl added the comment saying it was solved before I posted that comment, though!)

Thanks Becca. :) Yeah, something's gone awry there, for sure!

If Katie is in fact searching for herself and not another person on another site, yes that thread could be reopened as long as she edits her header to contain genre and plot details - that's the 2nd reason it was closed.

Auto-duplication of single post, again:
