Thanks anyway. If anyone lives near Banbury is Oxford the cafe called Little Amsterdam looks like it does amazing pancakes! (doesn't appear to be a name of a book though!)

TossDaily · 09/11/2017 13:51

Oops, sorry

TossDaily · 09/11/2017 13:51

What member of your household is likely to be called Fluffy?

Aimtomisbehave · 09/11/2017 13:35

ah - I got it!
just Amsterdam left

Aimtomisbehave · 09/11/2017 13:25

does anyone have a different clue for Fluffy?

Aimtomisbehave · 09/11/2017 13:24

thetempationofchocolate's clue for the boy eating oranges on page 2 is excellent - helped me!

TossDaily · 09/11/2017 13:24

Got it!

Ah, sad that's over for another year.

Aimtomisbehave · 09/11/2017 13:22

finally - to anyone else stuck on Orchard. If you're using measurement in feet, think again!

TossDaily · 09/11/2017 13:21

Amsterdam - I'll give you a LITTLE clue if you like...

I only have one to get! The boy eating an orange! It's driving me mad.

soupforbrains · 09/11/2017 13:12

Ah thanks Aim, got it. That clue is a bit of a stretch though.

Just got the music one too, I actually said "oh bloody hell" out loud when i got it.

Just Amsterdam left for me now.

aim the Orchard one is rather simple. You've already got Apple, so think about what the grow on and how far 36inches is. google it if necessary

Aimtomisbehave · 09/11/2017 13:08

with the lifepreserver one - it's a shortened synonym for the life preserver (that's where i was going wrong). And spelled differently

TossDaily · 09/11/2017 13:07

I can't get the boy eating oranges.

I'm sitting here in a bookshop, surrounded by children's books, and I cannot get it.

Aimtomisbehave · 09/11/2017 13:07

Finally got the life preserver one! and feel very silly for not thinking of it!.
Orchard is driving me crazy - my search history is now full of iphone accessories but not quite what I was after!!

soupforbrains · 09/11/2017 13:06

I think I'm going insane with the lifebelt/lifebuoy/lifering/life preserver/lifesaver one. I cannot think of any more synonyms for the word or the object and I'm going stark raving mad.

soupforbrains · 09/11/2017 13:05

it's a non-fiction book published by a young female writer....

Aimtomisbehave · 09/11/2017 13:04

the girl one: you need a synonym 'for being on the internet'
then it's very literal!

Cacofonix · 09/11/2017 13:01

No luck with the girl or amsterdam yet. Brain stuck!

soupforbrains · 09/11/2017 12:59

Van't believe I was so dense on the Ferry one Blush

I've also got definitely here now.

Did you get the gil on computer one yet Cacofonix?

Aimto Re-read the earlier comments on this thread that will give you the RIP fluffy one. and it should give you Orchard too.

Aimtomisbehave · 09/11/2017 12:56

Got Corvus! That's been bugging be for ages thanks!
I think my problem is I can't think of any other words for life preserves. Sigh. Hopefully something will come to me later.

Cacofonix · 09/11/2017 12:53

life preserver: find synonyms for the word in the ring and a synonym for life preserver. It is a well known book.

Cacofonix · 09/11/2017 12:52

google corvus and find its common name

Aimtomisbehave · 09/11/2017 12:51

Can anybody give a clue for the Corvus Street one?
I can't get the life preserver either!
Or Amsterdam, Or Fluffy, Or Orchard.
If so hard!!
Times suggestion of the Costa shortlist should give you Definitely Here.
The Ferry - if you search for a book set in the destination you'll find a treasured classic children's book

soupforbrains · 09/11/2017 12:41

Time and Cacofonix The girl on the computer might be email or she might be surfing the net but to do either her computer needs to be .......?

it's incredibly obvious when you get it. It's also probably not a book any of us have read.

I too am flummoxed by Amsterdam, Definitely here, The Ferry, The Life Preserver and the music.

Cacofonix · 09/11/2017 12:38
