I can't find a thread for this year's competition, and I'll never be able to get all the answers by myself. Please help! caboodle.nationalbooktokens.com/hiddenbooks/?competition=16

Got the bookshop one. That was a rubbish clue.

ApolloandDaphne · 12/11/2020 17:26

ALL DONE!!!!

I have completed it before my DD who works for a book publisher. YESSS!

TimeIhadaNameChange · 12/11/2020 17:36

@ApolloandDaphne -it's not Frankenstein it's his... And what is he doing?

KilljoysDutch · 12/11/2020 17:40

Need some help with the bees! I can offer that the girl is a cereal murderer sitting with someone she might be related to!

MyfanwyMontez · 12/11/2020 17:44

I need help with the jewellers and Thomas' Treasures, the picture on the right with the mirror. Appreciate any clues.

KilljoysDutch · 12/11/2020 17:47

Got the bee one by reading back up.

Jewellers - very famous books about hairy short men and tall gorgeous men.

Treasures is exactly what there is in the picture.

EineReiseDurchDieZeit · 12/11/2020 17:47

Thomas lost his head over his treasures

He says he's a jeweller but he's only got One Ring

@CaptainMyCaptain

The other word for crayfish is not a word used in the UK. Sounds like Southern US to me. Once you get that you'll probably know it.
Well probably, unless you accidentally combine it with the title of a famous autobiography like I did... Grin I did realise though.

In my defence, they're both musical creatures!

Galacticat · 12/11/2020 17:49

I really can't get the three woman. Help!!!

PolkadotsAndMoonbeams · 12/11/2020 17:52

When you were a child, you were a little (....), now you've grown up, you're a (.....). The last one is a mystery.

PolkadotsAndMoonbeams · 12/11/2020 17:53

Sorry, mystery is a bad choice of clue.

The third one is something different.

What is in the window with the Mirror?
MyfanwyMontez · 12/11/2020 18:08

Thank you! Kicked myself at the jewellers one.

AnnieRich · 12/11/2020 18:24

Despite all the clues, I still can’t guess the cafe/ cold drink. Could anyone give me any more help?

Bumbl · 12/11/2020 18:29

Done it now!! The coffee shop one I think you can only reasonably get if you have read it.

Whereas I haven't read or heard of the butchers one and could guess based on the picture. The sunflower clue is a bit rubbish too!!

OhWhatFuckeryIsThisNow · 12/11/2020 18:31

Finished. I much prefer classic books. But what am I going to do now?

MyfanwyMontez · 12/11/2020 18:39

Annierich
I just googled finicula cafe book.So I cheated .

CaptainMyCaptain · 12/11/2020 18:39

I hadn't read the butchers one but it was a fairly easy guess. The coffee shop one, when I googled, came out in Japanese but I did eventually get the English title.

katy1213 · 12/11/2020 18:47

Just as well this is only once a year. It's taken me all afternoon - but I'm there!

Missingthesea · 12/11/2020 18:49

Got them all at last, thanks to the lovely people on here. Thank you Smile

steppemum · 12/11/2020 19:00

bees

I've googled everything and I can't get it

CaptainMyCaptain · 12/11/2020 19:02

@steppemum

bees

I've googled everything and I can't get it

Look at the shape they're in.
Nousernameforme · 12/11/2020 19:05

It's kind of a pun it's not heart it's what the heart is supposed to do.

steppemum · 12/11/2020 19:13

bangs head on desk.

Ok, so I was googling heart. Didn't even think to try another word for it!

I'm done! Thank you all for your help.

I recognised so few of this years that I feel quite shocked.

Please caboodle, more classics next year!

Galacticat · 12/11/2020 21:20

Got the Three Women finally thanks to Google.
Wasn't the easiest this year.
