really hate how impossible it is to find a book you encountered once, didn't get the chance to read, so you don't remember the author or title, but you're pretty sure of the genre and several specifics of the plot/summary, but that still does not help you

even library of congress is practically unnavigable. i would slaughter a man in cold blooded sacrifice to be able to look up published fiction via relevant tags like you can do fic on ao3

#and if somebody knows WHERE or HOW that CAN be done please fucking tell me #i have searched google relenetlessly i have hunted library catalogs (why are the searches set up so useless)#i have turned over rocks for indie websites that purport to be able to find a book for you based on a handful of details (lying)#i think it was ya but i'm not sure!!! dystopian or contemporary scifi/fantasy!!!#girl whose superpower is seeing flaws in buildings/architecture witnesses a murder is all i got!!!!#i don't even know if i wanna READ this book #i just remember encountering it and thinking it was interesting and then losing track of it forevermore #wanted to find it again to see if i DID wanna read it but apparently that's too damn big an ask in the so-called information age
