National Book Token's Hidden Book Game

[MaudTheInvincible]

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

Thank you, @Galacticat. I have them all. 90% of them due to this thread, 😁

Thanks all! I agree it seemed harder and less quirky this year - usually I can get at least half by myself, and the rest with some googling and a few clues, but this time I could only get two on my own, despite an English degree

HEELLLLP MEEEE !

This is the last one !
Despite many hints I am no further !
Someone put me out of my misery , please !

He’s not Frankenstein, he’s the ........
And he’s making a phone .....

This should help but I am no closer

Ooooh ! I did it ! >

@Trumpton yay

Got it, thanks!

Thank you everyone, I've just finished it with the help of this thread. No way could I have done it otherwise. The hams clue was genius otherwise I thought it was a bit rubbish this year!

Roommates anyone?

More a co-apartment dweller

Roommates clue: the sign is in the window of a [??] above the shop, and if you didn't have it all to yourself, you'd have to [??]. The first ?? is somewhere you could live, and the second is something my 3 year old is not very good at yet!

@Cherrypieces

Roommates anyone?

First word Not an apartment, it's a...

Second word
Please... your toys

Old lady here - first posting on Mumsnet. I have done Caboodles for years and always managed to get them all. This year's is dreadful but I have managed to get 19 and am stuck on the damn dog. Have tried a zillion of the combinations without success - help please!

Finally got it! I am sure I put the same word in before - however, never mind. Got it at last. Bye for now.

Was I the only one trying a Sue Townshend novel for the corgi?

Is it usually this hard, thought I was well read but maybe not

No idea why autocorrect decided townsend needed a h either

I tried that first but it was actually easier than that although the book is nothing to do with Her Maj.

Its not a telescope, its a spyglass.

I am doing really badly this time.

So Bennett and half of the shops disappear
Roomate what will they share?
Talking Tuesday - word conversation is importnat

I spent ages searching Alan and Arnold Bennett and it is neither. Google Bennett and half.

When I was young many, many years ago, I lived in a grotty apartment in Chelsea with a friend. In today’s parlance we had a ? ?

Ignore the Tuesday and think about well known books by Sally R.

HTH

Nighty night

@RightOnTheEdge

Oh I've done nothing but look at books lately because I can't decide what to read, but I'm finding this really hard! I feel thick

I've got one now thanks to Nousernameforme and your clue.

If it's any consolation I've never got any of the answers in all the years they have been doing it, it even with clues. I could only get one of the children's ones too. That's thick.

@TinyTear

Got the Canal one!!!

just need the crayfish

Think of verbal music

The synonym for crayfish is not one I would use. Think American deep south. I had to use Google but then I knew the book straight away.
