Bookblr please help me find this book. I’m getting desperate

I only remember one scene and very little else, which really really sucks, but i remember this scene so vividly that I hope if you’ve read the book you should hopefully know what I’m talking about. The scene involves the protagonist using a computer when something else takes it over and the words “what goes around comes around” fill up the screen, repeating over and over.

I would’ve read this in 2008-2014, and found it in my school library. It was definitely for a younger audience, probably for tweens, had chapters and was not illustrated. I believe the genre was mystery with paranormal elements but I could be wrong.

Ive literally been searching for years. I’ve asked friends and family. I’ve posted on Reddit multiple times, on Discord servers, in private reading groups, I’ve been looking so long I was asking on Yahoo Answers. I feel like I’m going crazy, I remember this so vividly, I don’t think it’s a false memory but nobody else seems to remember

I don’t want to clog up any tags with an irrelevant post but I’m going to tag this with a few other books/authors I remember reading at the time. I can’t say if they’re anything alike but hopefully appeal to the same demographic and can put this on the right person’s feed. This is the only time I’ll do this promise.

No pressure but please reblog if you are willing so I can reach more people and finally solve this mystery.

Thank you everyone.

Also sorry I'm thinking about all the linguistic details that POB managed to cram into this book. Specifically the way the coffee house is called Joselito's (Spanish diminuitive for José 'Joseph') but Stephen, when speaking in Catalan, refers to the waiter as "Jep" (Catalan diminuitive for Josep 'Joseph'), and also that he uses "the Catalan of the island" which I'm not sure if POB uses that phrase intentionally but I'm guessing he does - Stephen is not from the Balearic Islands, and would certainly not speak Balearic Catalan as his native dialect, so while in English the line seems to convey that he's at home (he's speaking his native language - and this is true), the fact that even in his native language he's still chameleoning into another dialect feels very interesting, IDK

Another thing that makes kaladin so painfully relatable is how much his mental illness hides his personality, because between depressive episodes and trauma he's this sarcastic little shit that smiles a lot at his friends and then the depression gets to him and all that disappears

At board game night playing mysterium with strangers someones like "we gotta get into ____'s mind.... what's your job?" And i awkwardly am like. ' Haha its like, weird, i review books online, like, youtube.' Cannot state how embarrassing that feels but I also don't want to lie and I do LIKE my job and all that. But it will never not feel mortifying. We're trying to solve my tragic ghostly murder and the guy to my left has my yt up like 'you have decent views!'. What do I say to that. What i did say is 'haha yep' and then i could feel i was blushing for the next 15 minutes

But they DID win, bc I'm great at mysterium ghosting

there was an ache in my heart when i awoke in a strange, beautiful world that wasn’t my own. even as months turned to years, i still missed the familiar skies, the voice of loved ones and the home i had left behind. i wrote letters that went nowhere and whispered silent prayers that reached no one. it was like i was plucked from my own reality and placed in a world where i didn’t quite belong.

yet, as much as i longed for home, i was determined to learn in this new life. sumeru became my sanctuary and the akademiya, my solace. i learned their languages, customs, and secrets while sharing stories of the stars, landmarks, and beauty of my own world. the scholars listened, fascinated by the similarities and differences, but none more than al-haitham—a student assigned to guide me through this foreign land. he was a quiet presence. thoughtful and curious. he did not pity me.

and over time, he went from guide to peer to something more. over time, i wasn’t just seeking knowledge but also him. but what was the point? what was the point of falling for him if one day, i could just disappear—vanish back to my world, leaving him and teyvat behind? this could slip away at any moment. this might be as fleeting as a dream.

despite all reason, i still found myself loving him deeply. in a world that wasn’t my own, he had become my home.

So I went to an early screening for the first two episodes of the Percy Jackson show yesterday (Saturday), and let me just say, it is 100% the adaptation we deserve. It was amazing. Once it ended, I wanted more.

The characterizations were amazing, any changes there were made sense and made the situation more realistic and added tension, the story was straight from the book, it was just amazing.

I went with my mom and she, who doesn't know the books, really enjoyed it. I asked her how she liked it (literary just the first two episodes) compared to Harry Potter (which i had her watch a few years back), and she said there was no contest. She likes the pjo show much more. She said it was engaging and even had her wanting the next episode once it was done.

Everyone needs to watch this show. It was amazing. It lives up to the hype. We need to make sure it gets greenlit for season 2.
