It’s that time of the year again with the hidden books game. I’ve got 5/20 so far and still going. So happy to chat about it.

The other one was Eve which I’d guessed earlier but hadn’t put in as the doorbell went.

BestIsWest · 10/11/2022 17:19

I have only the apple, the us fin and one other which I can’t even find a clue for

ApolloandDaphne · 10/11/2022 17:16

I can't click on the second life one

InMySpareTime · 10/11/2022 17:14

@newrubylane he is wearing two dyed items. What if he did that himself, doing the second once the first looked so good?
He'd then be ...

newrubylane · 10/11/2022 17:11

I've now got them all except tie dye man. I don't know who he's meant to be. All I see is Ricky Gervais 🤣

wellmadecake · 10/11/2022 16:58

@InMySpareTime Slice???

wellmadecake · 10/11/2022 16:56

Apple slice? I cannot get this one. Any help?

It's not a slice, look at what's on the table beside the plate.

InMySpareTime · 10/11/2022 16:57

@wellmadecake what do you take off the apple? It's not a load of that, just one.

JaninaDuszejko · 10/11/2022 16:57

Got them all now after some help on here for 'read me' and the ladder and Eve and the two bad puns. I'm definitely improving year on year though thanks to you lot.

@SlayB first name of the author is same as a Brontë
Second is an old Bake-off presenter
Third sounds like a person with the ability to breathe like a fish.

Melisande90 · 10/11/2022 16:56

Got them all at last! Thanks everyone for the clues. Some were so difficult but I enjoyed it. Thanks OP for the thread as I wouldn’t have known about this little game 🥰

km21 · 10/11/2022 16:54

Finished at last. That was a real stretch at times. Thanks to all who helped with clues and good luck everyone

TattiePants · 10/11/2022 16:53

@SlayB the author isn't well know unless you've read one of her books - late Victorian feminist who mainly wrote short stories. It is about a woman stuck in a room and if she looked around the room at the four walls all she would see is ........

SlayB · 10/11/2022 16:51

Phew I got it. Thanks all, was quite hard this year !

CaptainMyCaptain · 10/11/2022 16:47

TattiePants · 10/11/2022 16:39

@CaptainMyCaptain and @SlayB the peeling paper - what colour is it and what could they have used to decorate the side of the desk that would now be peeling?

I'd never heard of it but thanks. I've got them all now.

SlayB · 10/11/2022 16:47

Got reading one …
the peeling one someone said is about a woman going crazy in a room.

a clue on the author might help as my meno brain is fried !

MavisChunch29 · 10/11/2022 16:37

Finally got Read Me. Thank you!

It's just one word - noun, meaning a gentle version of some of the words I posted above.

SlayB · 10/11/2022 16:36

So read me and peeling paper clues ?

so many classics time for a rhyme or sounds like please 🙏🏻

CaptainMyCaptain · 10/11/2022 16:35

Oh! The cards one was so obvious when I clicked on it.

CaptainMyCaptain · 10/11/2022 16:34

Thanks for all the clues. I've only got the children playing cards and the yellow peel one left.

AnneKipankitoo · 10/11/2022 16:34

Thanks Tattie. Completed it now.
