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

@abcyz

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

Me too- it's the only one I have left !

The station is an old book, about slavery in US. recent film connection.
The sign says the railway is where?

I'm really stuck on a couple. Cannot get the 3 women.

FFS on crayfish. Loved that book.

Got them all now. Definitely harder and not quite as inventive this year. Lots of books I've never heard of.

can't get the crayfish either

I'm down to the three women. Is it a recent book?

I've got it! It's not 'Normal People'

Just have the three women, Thomas treasures and roommate to go. Almost there.

@steppemum

Google Crayfish.

@TimeIhadaNameChange

I'm down to the three women. Is it a recent book?

Yes. Very topical

@TimeIhadaNameChange

I'm down to the three women. Is it a recent book?

Yes. Very recent (last couple of years). Prize winning some might say.

@cataline

That was fir the Talking Tuesdays clue

3 people on the canal. One is older, one is younger and one is unknown. Booker prize.

Ignore the Tuesday part of the talking clue and focus on what is happening and who is invited

Still can't get Talking Tuesdays!

Chatty mates? Speaking friends? Whispering buddies?

got crayfish, thank you TimeIHadAnotherName

@cataline

I've got it! It's not 'Normal People'

I even read that book! Honestly. I got hung up on thinking it was a two word answer

Thanks so much, @cataline and @onemouseplace. I've finally finished it! 😀

Thanks for all the clues so far. Just have roommate one left but I think I skipped over the clues for that one thinking I'd got it when I hadn't so I'm going to look back now.

got the women now.

Oh this year it is like pulling teeth.
So many titles I am having to google.
I prefer it when there are more well known titles

Chatty mates? Speaking friends? Whispering buddies?

Think formal chats with mates.

I've got to say it's really hard this year! I usually get about half without help then have to use hints and/or Google for the rest but this year I only got 2 by myself

The placement of the sign may give a clue.

Only the cafe left now. The Bennett one is silly - I only got it thanks to Google. Why is there a duck in the picture when the book doesn’t seem to have anything to do with ducks?

Got Talking Tuesdays.

First word = synonym for 'talk'
Second word = with
Third word = synonym for 'pals'

I've never heard of the book and got it by some mad googling!

I haven't done that well on the children's one either.

The cafe picture (including outside table) is literally a depiction of the plot of the book but it you don't know it, you're unlikely to be able to guess. Google might have to be your friend.
