I did the same and finally got it! Not a book I know, thanks for the clues Grin

Still can't get the urn, even after clues on here. Also: the sun ; the whale; the dust; evolution ; and of course, the boat! Help!

For the Urn google Anthony Hopkins Films based on books and think of what goes into an urn

There is a date on the urn - what is the general word for the period of time indicated by a date like that?

The urn contains something sad - think bereavement, and look for a euphemism for what might be in there.

Or look at Emma Thompson films.

The Sun - Google Nigerian Sun Book and be very literal

The Whale is a classic book by Herman

The Dust again be very literal

Evolution - Non-Fiction Begins with S written by a Dr

The Boat - try googling around the symbol on the boat and where the boat is

I just got the star one from Amazon - never heard of the book or the author.
Have two more to get - please could I get more clues for the signs and the diving? Literally no idea!

The whale was the first one I got. Classic novel about, well, a whale!

Google that and it will come up straight away, and then you will kick yourself.

Sugarhunnyicedtea · 16/11/2018 12:49

NorfolkNellie · 16/11/2018 12:51

Thanks - got the signs. Would never have got that as a book - saying it was better known as a film helped 100%. Now onto the diver......

Karmin · 16/11/2018 12:54

Thank you!! Done :D

NoSquirrels · 16/11/2018 12:56

Norfolk there's a popular book about a person on a train. It's another book by that author. The diver is diving so they are going ...

NorfolkNellie · 16/11/2018 12:56

Ok, I'm going to hit the internet.....thanks

KnockMeDown · 16/11/2018 12:58

The diving one was one of the hardest. I only got it by following clues up thread.

Basically the book is by the same author that wrote a very popular novel which featured a train in the title. Google or Amazon will be your friend here.

KnockMeDown · 16/11/2018 12:58

Lol, another cross-post!

NorfolkNellie · 16/11/2018 12:58

Got it! Thanks NoSquirrels. Never heard of it.......the train got me there.

Done!
