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

Any hint for the station ?

I've said the word roomate so many times in my head now it no longer has any meaning

I was convinced that would be The Uncommon Reader (Alan Bennett) but it isn't.

(The one with the duck.)

Bookshop actor just had a baby with katy perry

@PolkadotsAndMoonbeams

Okay so Frankenstein's...what? And what's he doing?

It's a children's book

The third word is the American term for what we could call a ‘railway’ — possibly archaic in the US now. The fact that this railway is not on the surface gives you the second word of the three-word title.

@KiposWonderbeasts the station leads where? Have a look at the sign

Thanks, @KiposWonderbeasts — that’s one of the clues that only works if you have a particular accent!

Sorry, my last post was to @KiposWonderbeasts with a clue for the station.

Many thanks - I was overthinking it - thought it was probably Covent Garden from the number of steps to the tube so disappeared down that path for too long.

How is the dog NOT "The Queen's Corgi"???

I think that’s a film, not a book.

The crown (and the monarch you refer to) help you with the title. The corgi itself is a motif from the book...

@bookworm14

It's a book too.

I love these, thanks for the thread. That's my afternoon sorted, I'll catch up on the thread later.

I'm still stuck on funiculi, beef and lamb, thomas treasures, roommate, bennett, frankenstein, talking tuesdays, sunflowers, corgi.

@shumway, for Thomas Treasures, each window is a different book. For the right window, say what you see.

For the left, you need an old-fashioned word for what you see, and the colour is important. Also a current BBC serial, second part of a famous children’s three-book series.

Thank you!

Thomas's Treasures - it's talking about a particular Thomas who doesn't feature in the title but is the main character in the book. And what are the treasures in the window?

I've given clues for the few of the others but I'm stuck on sunflowers, Bennett and Tuesdays

Beef and lamb are types of what? Where might you buy them? Title is two words.

Roommate one - if you occupy an apartment with another person, you might call the situation a ....
Extra clue: we tell children to ....... their toys with others

Funicular is a film too, and not a very well known book. I only knew it because I randomly read about it the other day, which isn't much help.

By the way, if it makes anyone feel better, I've seen publishers' social media people tweeting about how hard it is this year...

@shumway

For Funiculli, look at the table out front, that's more important.

For Thomas's Treasures it's literally say what you see in ther window.

Can I remind everyone that it's NOT Frankenstein, Frankenstein was the mad scientist. This should help.

Beef and lamb, sunflowers, Bennet, Talking Tuesdays and corgi help would be much appreciated.
