Bees. I finally got the bees.

Time plays a part in the cafe one.

RightOnTheEdge · 12/11/2020 12:29

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 Blush

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

KiposWonderbeasts · 12/11/2020 12:29

@Nousernameforme

Do you have a clue for that? Sir precious jewelers think huge 3 film franchise from back in the early 2000s a character would use this word lots.
Ah! Thanks. I thought they all had to be recent books. Daft me.

Finniculi finnicula is from Carmen, the Torreador's song, isn't it?

JassyRadlett · 12/11/2020 12:29

Say all...and...oh really slowly. Does it remind you of somewhere?

I realised I was rushing over the middle of it 🙄

TheFlyingAspidistra · 12/11/2020 12:32

what's another name for a telescope?

bookworm14 · 12/11/2020 12:32

Just got the bookshop one. Bit of a silly one to be honest.

It's the last in a trilogy which is on BBC now.

JassyRadlett · 12/11/2020 12:35

Oh god I just got Thomas’s Treasures.

shumway · 12/11/2020 12:37

These are hard. Thanks everyone for the clues!

KiposWonderbeasts · 12/11/2020 12:38

Wow, I totally suck at this. Got 6 with all your help.

The bees isn't The Bees or The Secret Lives Of Bees or The Beekeeper's Daughter and I can't think of another novel with bees in.

bookworm14 · 12/11/2020 12:38

KiposWonderbeasts · 12/11/2020 12:38

OK, in the second butcher's window it's exactly a say what you see.

JassyRadlett · 12/11/2020 12:43

I didn’t realise there were two pictures in the butcher’s! Thank you!

BahHumPug · 12/11/2020 12:45

PolkadotsAndMoonbeams · 12/11/2020 12:47

I'm struggling! I've got Young Frankenstein stuck in my head (because he's on a mobile) and can't think of anything else!
