D’usurpation i think you’ve come to the same answer as I did.

susurration · 09/11/2017 18:57

Has anyone else figured out the email question?

I think it's a spin off from my favourite children's novels.

susurration · 09/11/2017 18:20

Kveta It's a real stretch that one isn't it?!

TinyTear yes, I've not seen the MN threads about this before and it also never occurred to me to look at bestseller or award shortlists before either.

Feeling a bit pleased with myself today Husband will be thrilled when he finds out what I spent all afternoon doing...

Kveta · 09/11/2017 17:54

oh FFS! That one is just cruel! :D

Aimtomisbehave · 09/11/2017 17:29

Kveta it really is a stretch to be fair. you need another word for appropriate (use the thesaurus in word) and an abbreviated and slighted different spelling of lifebouy. Put them together (and google)

Kveta · 09/11/2017 17:14

I am SO STUCK on the life belt one! Can anyone give me some clues which even someone who is very hard of thinking can get?!

soupforbrains · 09/11/2017 16:03

Actually I think I've got it! it's sort of a spin off? done.

TinyTear · 09/11/2017 16:01

susurration i love these annual threads as people are really helpful without telling the answers directly!

soupforbrains · 09/11/2017 16:00

Mmmm I'm not sure about it. I've got a couple of possibles but I don't think I match you.

susurration · 09/11/2017 15:59

Finally, finally bloody got it! thank you for all your help everyone, for the first time ever I have finished one of these quizzes!

soupforbrains I've gone for it. I don't think the information on the signs is important per se, they're just showing "...".

Slightly thrown by the fact you have to input the title EXACTLY how it is, but I checked the cover and went for how it's printed.

susurration - synonym of the word written on the lifebuoy followed by 'its' abbreviation (ie abbreviation of the lifebuoy).

susurration · 09/11/2017 15:26

Ok I'm down to the lifebuoy one!

susurration · 09/11/2017 15:25

Cacofonix will PM

Cacofonix · 09/11/2017 15:23

Ok I have the Amsterdam one. Please can someone put me out of my misery with the computer/surfer girl one with a cheeky PM?

susurration · 09/11/2017 15:16

OMG! i've bloody got it. FFS, that's so obvious! thank you!!!

TinyTear · 09/11/2017 15:13

what types of fabrics?

and the second words, are all different names for _

and i don't have a clue for the email one...

susurration · 09/11/2017 15:08

Ok, fab. SO I've got the computer one, bloody finally. Barely a book tbh!

I know Damask etc are fabrics, and I tried The Dressmaker and The Seamstress, but neither is correct.

The lightning man, something do to do with power stations?

I'm going to have to PM you about the lifebuoy!

Thank you.

soupforbrains · 09/11/2017 14:57

susurration yes I think you're on the right track with that. it's her book.

the 3 street names try googling WHAT Georgette, Damask etc are....

the life buoy one drove me mad. I think it's a stupid clue even now I've got it, pm me if you want more help.

Lighting man is a bit vague, it's nothing to do with the man or really the picture. that sort of sign is usually near electricity. so think what another word for electricity is.

time I'm a bit baffled by it too I feel like it's a children's book I sort of keep getting half memories that disappear when I notice them... sort of images that won't come into focus.

susurration · 09/11/2017 14:53

I've just had a flash of inspiration of who the girl at the computer author might be. She's a bit of a big hit with teenagers.

The email one is a link you are emailed once you've completed the 20 questions.

Is it a children's book? (Had flash of inspiration earlier...)

susurration · 09/11/2017 14:39

OMG I am getting so frustrated with the life buoy one. No matter how much googling I do for synonyms I just cannot get it.

Also can't get the girl at the computer, the lightning man, the one with the 3 street names or the smiling/laughing one.

I need better clues!

soupforbrains · 09/11/2017 14:33

Oh god I've got it too. durrrrr haha

Aimtomisbehave · 09/11/2017 14:32

Blue Thank you! I didn't think to look at it that way

BlueEyeshadow · 09/11/2017 14:26

I got the Amsterdam one by googling for books set there. The title doesn't specifically relate.
