39 an epic road trip40 student turned servent
41 writer meets a fan
The last few could apply to so many books it's not even funny. We need more details or this could go on for a very long time.
39 boy takes epic road trip to find rhyme and reason
40 victorian era student becomes servant
39 boy and watchdog take road trip to find rhyme and reason
39 (view spoiler)And drat on you for stealing that one, I'd been planning to do it later. Luckily I have a few others I'm still working on.
1-24,26-35,37-39,41 have been correctly guessed. Next un-used number is #42Currently un-guessed:
25) Single mom gets job in male-dominated field, is chosen for a special assignment.
36) Surrogate mother emigrates, because of unborn child.
40) Victorian era student becomes servant
Just another bilbophile got 39 correct

Umm, are you missing some commas (or words, or other punctuation)? Those sentences seem quite disjointed.Also, I like to give people at least 24 hours before adding additional clues. Not everyone is checking this thread all the time :D That's not a (previously unwritten) rule of the game, but merely something to consider.
eg: I would've gotten #39 from message 370, but 20m later you added even more details.
To re-purpose another piece of advice: Sometimes doing it slower is faster.
40 victorian student turned servant a room in the attic. A friend changes her fortune, the magic has come. She is the purloined letter. better? I didn't sleep last night so any mistakes are due to sleepiness
I'm having trouble with "turned servant a room"."student turned servant" is a good sentence fragment.
"a room in the attic" is a good sentence fragment.
But, I'm not sure how they go together.
"her fortune, the magic" is rather rough, but since this is a guessing game, perhaps that rough construction is due to limitations in not giving stuff away?
Also, edited my prior message (in case you missed it, sleep-dep and all).
Last edit for today 40 victorian student is made a servant. She was once as rich as royalty now almost a slave. A mystery items appear in her room, she thinks its magic. A man looks all over europe for her shes right next door
It has been 2 months. I think a hint is due for #25.

Or maybe the next day. Sigh.
42. Inspired by the most famous kidnapping of the time. Many hands make light work.
That's probably too easy, but I can't think of anything else that isn't too obscure.
i have been running one through my head, but i'm afraid its too obvious.
43. Sheriff hunts friendship killer. I'm trying my hand at writing one. Let's see how it goes.
44 Clones get loose in theme park, death and destruction ensues
Yup. I think theme park is what really gave it away. Rewriting it will be super hard, as it's going to be top of most people's minds now...How was the movie?
Kitten wrote: "I have been running one through my head, but I'm afraid it's too obvious."Doesn't hurt to try. Go ahead.
No one ever guessed. In case someone comes looking, it was "Murder on the Orient Express" by Agatha Christie. Inspired by the Lindbergh kidnapping.
I did it was... trying to come up with another though.
