Frequently Asked Questions
Learn how Find My Story works, how to get the best recommendations, and what to expect from your membership and reading library.
How to Get Started
Find My Story works best when you describe the reading experience you want instead of trying to describe a book you already know. Think of it as a digital Blind Date With a Book or a personal bookseller helping you match with your next story.
Great Search
Cozy fantasy with found family, a little mystery, and a hopeful feeling.
Another Great Search
An atmospheric historical mystery that feels like autumn.
Search by experience, not by exact title.
Find My Story is not connected to the internet to search every published book. Every title is added one at a time by Secondhand Stories, so describing a known book does not guarantee that title is in the library. Describe the feeling, tropes, atmosphere, characters, themes, and experience you want instead.
Every Reader Deserves to Find Their Story
Find My Story is designed to help readers discover stories they may never have found on their own. While no recommendation system can predict every reader's taste perfectly, the goal is simple: connect readers with books that feel personal, memorable, and worth taking a chance on.
