Well, it's either that or finding a Lemmy community for "what's that book" and posting a long description of how you remember the book.

I did this recently about a TV show I once saw an episode or two on broadcast TV in the early 90's. Only I completely misremembered it; I thought one of the main characters was a little girl when, in fact, it was a grizzled old woodworker. I mean, really, Brain? What the actual fuck? Luckily, from the context and time period, someone recognized it, but I no longer trust my own memory (if I ever really did).

"So, I read this book once - I think there were two or three in the series - and it was about some little furry girls who find a magic potion in a cave, but the potion is poison that can kill everyone in the world, and they had to take it to a special magic hole and throw it in. And they're being chased the entire time by ghosts on ghost horses. I think there are trees in it." - me, trying to describe the LOTR. Thanks, Brain; you're a big help.
