What I got was... unexpected!
It was Brian's Window, and over where the date and place usually are was a logo.
And underneath it said Watch the Trailer. Huh.The 'window' was obviously AI generated. It was a city suburb street with houses, yards, trees, and cars in driveways. But every so often you would see a dinosaur walk by. One knocked over the electric pole. You could see the shadows of pterodactyls as they flew over. And you could hear the sound of dinosaurs roaring. Really odd.
From the little bit I read about the movie, Brian is a main character in the movie.
Ideas:
author's name begins with B
a word from "The End of Oak Street" in the title
tagged Science Fiction Dragonsinger 9/1 ****
tagged Historical
set in the suburbs
made into a movie

That sounds like the Window Swap app (or whatever) was hijacked... or sold out for a promo 🤣
The movie looks creepy and yet enticing (I've seen the trailer too).

My guess is that it was uploaded as a 'real' window and WindowSwap doesn't realize that it's fake.
WindowSwap is a project by Sonali Ranjit and Vaishnav Balasubramaniam. It lets you use your browser to watch a video of a window and its unique view from different locations across the globe.
There are windows from all over: there’s a rainy street in Thailand, a mountain view from Switzerland, a busy street in London, a cat watching birds in Qatar, a view of the city skyline in Singapore, and an almost panoramic view of the ocean from Oahu.
Would one of these windows remind you of a book?
How this challenge works:
* Click on the WindowSwap link https://www.window-swap.com/Window
* Use that window to find a book. It could be the location, the submitter's name, the month or year the window scene was posted, an object in the window, the weather,
the time of day, or something that happens.
Describe to us in your post what window you saw and how it helped you choose a book.
If the window doesn't suggest a book to you, you may click on 'Open a window somewhere in the world' up to two more times. But take good notes on the windows that come up! You can't go back.
Duration: September 1 - 30, 2026
