Ask the librarian
Describe a book, we’ll find it.
Can’t remember the title? Tell us what happens, who is in it or how it made you feel. We’ll suggest the books on our shelves that match.
Try one of these
- a ghost story set in an old English house
- a short, funny book for the train
- adventure at sea with pirates and treasure
- a love story with a happy ending
- something like Sherlock Holmes, but spookier
- a gentle story to read with a 7-year-old
- a classic about growing up on a farm
- philosophy that helps with everyday worries
How it works
- Describe it. Write what you remember, in your own words.
- We look through the shelves. Titles are checked first, then the stories themselves.
- Pick your book. Read it online, or download it free as PDF or EPUB.
Good to know
Is it free?
Yes. Searching, reading online and downloading are all free, with no sign-up.
What can I type?
Anything you remember. A character, a place, the mood, how it ends, or who it is for. Whole sentences work best.
Does it search the whole internet?
No. It only looks through the books on FreeBookia’s shelves, so every suggestion is one you can download here.
What if it doesn’t find my book?
Try describing it differently, or add one more detail. If it still isn’t here, we may not have it yet. Five new books join the shelves every week.
