What is What Book Is This?
What Book Is This names a book you can't remember from whatever details you have, such as a scene, a character, a line or the cover. Each suggested title comes with an explanation of which of your clues it matches.
You write a description in plain language, and the finder compares it with plot, setting, characters, quotes and cover details to return a shortlist. Separate search modes target descriptions, plot outlines and remembered quotes, and the site gives tips on which details narrow results most.
The interface is available in English, Chinese and French, and searching doesn't require an account. A sister site from the same team, What Is This Movie, does the same job for films.
