message 1: by Kristin B. (new)

Kristin B. Bodreau (krissy22247) I just found out that Goodreads has a really cool feature that lets you browse random books. It works much like Wikipedia's random article feature.

https://www.goodreads.com/book/random

If you use that link you'll be brought to a random book in the Goodreads catalogue. A lot of it is pretty useless. For instance I clicked through dozens of books in other languages while I was browsing. However, just click "view another random book" at the top of the page and you'll quickly be moved on to something else. I've seen a few books that look quite interesting and are now on my To Read list.

This might be a cool way of finding some undiscovered gems.

David Rose I sometimes browse the genre or category lists, with the same aim in mind. ;)

It improved my outlook considerably, because 19 out of 20 random books were either in a foreign language, or nonfiction, or something that I would never read or write. Thus, a quarter million "authors" on Goodreads is wa-a-a-y exaggerated, might be as few as 25,000 and only a handful that are modern competitors.

Myia Hello, I need some help locating the name of a book. Wasn't sure where else i could post for help. I read this book a while ago and forgot the name and author. Unfortunately for me, because I'd love to read it again to see if it was as good as i remembered. Would anyone here be willing to help me? Or show me where I can go for help?

Thank you =)

Myia I'll do my best here lol

About the book:
The h is a human and her ship got wrecked on an uninhibited planet. Somehow she got separated from the others and fell into some trouble. The H, who's a winged alien rescues her and takes her back to his home (a tall building that was only accessible from the bedroom window or balcony door above) where he expects 'payment.' If i remember correctly he even tried to find her friend and was damaged and the h had to take care of him. Later in the book he takes her to a better home but she tries to leave him and he finds her and they make up?

It's a bit of a blur but those parts are what I remember. If anyone can help ill be grateful.

Thank you! xoxo
