Got to 6, but can't spend too long on it today.

Will be asking for clues when I get half way by myself

I'm up to 11, but that's taken a lot of googling!

I've got 7. Normally I can get at least half without having to google. It's tough this year.

Am up to 9. That included Googling one sign, and then checking to see if it was a book. Had never heard of it, despite it being on a shortlist Blush

Only 11 more to go!

Well, now I'm off to google all the signs!

I looked at Waterstones best sellers list and looked if any of the titles fitted. I got a couple that way!

I've got to 15 by googling lots of award longlists and squinting at the titles a bit laterally. Some seem rather a stretch to me.

OK. This is the last clue and it's driving me nuts. Has anyone got the one that looks like a girl, or someone with a ponytail, using a computer?

Yes, it's a rather literal translation and it IS a girl.

WillWork It's the one that looks like the Essex Country shield. It's not Essex, though..

Toffee However, Chelmsford IS in Essex.

Still don't get the girl at the computer. Will keep thinking.

Has anyone got the life preserver one?

Too - it's a synonym on what's written on it together with a sort of synonym for what it is.

Am sure that's as clear as mud!

I'm on 14 but have come to a standstill. The music one is driving me mad.

You need to enlarge the music one and look at the notes which are different.
