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.

Stuck on the peeling desk but got the rest. Only took me about 5 hours 😴

It tickles me how what is obvious to some is tricky to others and vice versa.

walkersareback · 10/11/2022 23:31

Got them all! Thank you so much for your help ladies

@TattiePants

Got The Apple, but what an awful clue!

Thanks for your help

TattiePants · 10/11/2022 23:27

@drspouse think of a famous person from history (mythology) that was shot with a bow & arrow (they were shot on a particular part of their foot).

drspouse · 10/11/2022 23:24

Just one left! The woman with the bows and arrows on her shirt.

@EineReiseDurchDieZeit the Apple one is a (crap) play on words but it’s written by the same author as the other books I mentioned. What is the first thing you would do to a cooking apple if you were going to cook with it? There’s another clue on the table but you can’t see it when magnified. It’s a legal term.

Ladder, I’m sure you’ll have read it, in fact I’m sure it’s been discussed recentlyish on the 50 book thread. Classic novel but also a very famous song from the 80s. If you climb a ladder you are very xxxxx up plus what’s the weather like up there?

walkersareback · 10/11/2022 23:22

Got everything except the apple- please help

EineReiseDurchDieZeit · 10/11/2022 23:14

@TattiePants

Was typing out what I'd tried and got Us-Fin!

Still not getting Dog, Apple or Ladder

I've tried The Peel, The Core and The Skin

I've even tried Hound Of The Baskervilles

What annoys me most is I bet I have read it and I will be fuming

Got the peeling counter

@EineReiseDurchDieZeit
Apple - think of books like The Firm, The Pelican Brief, The Client, “The Apple”

Us - fin- what is ‘fin’ short for then think of a synonym

Peeling counter - ignore the counter but what has it been decorated with. It’s a late Victorian feminist short story.

Dog - think of a type of dog that has a country in its name eg Irish Setter and what is the dog’s job.

EineReiseDurchDieZeit · 10/11/2022 23:01

When people say what sort of dog is it? I genuinely don't know how to answer?ConfusedBlush

It's also the name of a type of coat/jacket.

HauntersGonnaHaunt · 10/11/2022 23:01

I'm nearly there. Just the ladder one left.

Trumpton · 10/11/2022 22:57

And finally look at the dog’s name tag.

Trumpton · 10/11/2022 22:56

What sort of dog is it?
What is the capital of that country?
What is the dog selling?

senua · 10/11/2022 22:55

Yay! Done it. I'm off to bed.

senua · 10/11/2022 22:48

Can I have a clue on the dog please. It's my last one!

EineReiseDurchDieZeit · 10/11/2022 22:45

Give up til tomorrow

HauntersGonnaHaunt · 10/11/2022 22:40

EineReiseDurchDieZeit · 10/11/2022 22:29

Peeling Counter

You're on the right track with peel.

What colour is the paper on the counter?

If someone wants to convince you to read something, they use...

@SquirrelFan the art of getting someone to do something.

Ahahaha

I think I love you

EineReiseDurchDieZeit · 10/11/2022 22:39

@HauntersGonnaHaunt

LIFE LIFE is an Award Winner, Costa, I think

bookworm14 · 10/11/2022 22:37

Finally finished. That apple clue was total rubbish!

HauntersGonnaHaunt · 10/11/2022 22:35

I still can't get the dog, like the pp the clues mean nothing to me.
I can't get the ladder, Us fin and LIFE LIFE either.

EineReiseDurchDieZeit · 10/11/2022 22:34

Got musical shoes

Loved that book
