National Book Token's Hidden Book Game

405 replies

MaudTheInvincible · 12/11/2020 11:31

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

I googled Bennett book 2020 and got it. Clue: 50% of the shop is disappearing

onemouseplace · 12/11/2020 14:09

Oh, FFS. I read the Bennett one LAST WEEK and still didn't get it until that clue.

Nousernameforme · 12/11/2020 14:10

That's where I went but still nothing

TuesdaysWell · 12/11/2020 14:10

Got it, thank you, @Ezio. I’m down to the roommate one.

kaleishorrid · 12/11/2020 14:10

I am supposed to be working but keeping getting distracted by this.

I've got this one. What is it called when you have room mates?
TuesdaysWell · 12/11/2020 14:13

Oh,I tried that earlier. Maybe misspelled. Thank you @kaleishorrid. I’m all done.

That was less witty/clever than last year.

BlueEyeshadow · 12/11/2020 14:14

Cereal is a sounds-like clue.

The three women - one is a woman, one is younger...

I'm still stuck on talking Tuesdays and Thomas's Treasures, and I think Elizabeth is Missing would have been a better answer for the corgi one!

onemouseplace · 12/11/2020 14:17

Yes! Finally got the three women one (and guess what, I've read that one as well!).

BlueEyeshadow · 12/11/2020 14:18

Woohoo! Got them all, but wouldn't have done without help from you lot! :)

steppemum · 12/11/2020 14:20

@CommunistLegoBloc

I've just got sunflowers. The writing in the bottom corner - translate it. It's not the best one they've ever done in terms of picture being relevant to the title tbh...
I can't read it! Too small, and I'm on a laptop. What does it say

shumway · 12/11/2020 14:23

Thanks everyone. Finished it now with all your help.

abcyz · 12/11/2020 14:27

@TuesdaysWell

Oh, I just got Talking Tuesdays. The Tuesday is irrelevant. Think about what the people at these events actually do while there, and another word for ‘pal’.
I am still bamboozled. What do people do at these events? Drink wine? Hide in the bathroom? Flirt with the barman?
JassyRadlett · 12/11/2020 14:31

I have now firmly established there is no such book as Meat Shop.

JassyRadlett · 12/11/2020 14:31

Oh FUCKSAKE it took actually typing it to see it.

MynephewR · 12/11/2020 14:32

Aaargh just the cereal one to go. I have typed so many things into Google but I'm not getting it Confused

It's a longer book title - 5 words. If two young girls aren't friends, they could be related to each other how?
TurtleBeach · 12/11/2020 14:33

Please help! I got ten of them alone, another 6 with your help so far but am utterly stumped on the last four, despite clues in this thread:

Musical Crayfish
Bennet's disappearing shop
LA Joan's record shop
Station

I need more clues for these.

TurtleBeach · 12/11/2020 14:37

Ok - I've now got the record shop and Bennett from a lot of googling. Can't believe so many of you got the crayfish so quickly though - what am I missing here?

Okay... Musical Crayfish - you need another word for 'crayfish' and then thing of something musical that it could do, which isn't playing an instrument.

Bennett's Disappearing Shop - 50% of the shop is gone. Bennett is the authors name.

LA Joan's Record Shop - How else could you spell Joan's, if it was a surname? There are a certain number of a certain flower in the window.

Station - three words. Second word - the train tracks are where? Third word - what would you call train tracks in America?

Google other names for crayfish.
abcyz · 12/11/2020 14:40

Anyone got any final ideas about Talking Tuesdays? I am stumped.

MynephewR · 12/11/2020 14:40

@abcyz aaah of course! I hadn't even thought about the other girl, was just focusing on the play on words. Thank you!

Tuesdays is irrelevant. Talking and Pals are the key words.
