I haven't seen a thread on this yet, so here's a thread to share hints for the Hidden Books Game this year:

I'm completely stuck on the three children reading locomotives in history. It's my final one! Clearly easy for most people given absence of comment on it - would anyone give me a clue?

chocolatecheesecake · 16/11/2023 21:53

MLander - glad I'm not the only one!

The kids reading on the floor. What are they reading about?

@chocolatecheesecake it’s a 3 world title. Second word is the system trains run on and the last word is who is reading the books.
I’m struggling on the suit ghost one, which equally must be easy but evading me completely! Any tips?

Friolero · 16/11/2023 21:56

Got them all thanks to the clues on here, thanks!

InMySpareTime · 16/11/2023 21:56

What do trains collectively run as?

@Peakyblindsiders you can see the suit etc, but what about the wearer?

Thank you @Peakyblindsiders. Got it now! The one you're stuck on, you just need to describe what you can, and can't, see

Peakyblindsiders · 16/11/2023 22:00

Got it, thank you!

ClaraSais · 16/11/2023 22:05

lol hi everyone it’s that time the brain torture is back!!?! ;)

Stumped on:

Romance
Mythology
Day after today
Door sign
Science

GrannyAchingsShepherdsHut · 16/11/2023 22:08

Thank you for all the clues, that's quite possibly the most frustrating thing I've ever done! I reckon I'd never heard of 2/3 to 3/4 of the books, it was painful!

EineReiseDurchDieZeit · 16/11/2023 22:11

@VanityDiesHard

For mythology search the names

For the day after look for a popular book that like the clue repeats. BookTok popular

Door sign say what you see not closed is ?

romance - what is different between the romance section and the others?

Mythology - look at the names of the books - where are the people from?

Day after today - another name for the day after today?

Door sign - what is on the floor

Science - recent very popular book - what sort of science is it?

And now I have them all! Thank you so much!

Allthatwegotisthispalebluedot · 16/11/2023 22:20

Ah ha! Got the bestsellers one. Took me ages and I groaned when I got it.

Got them all thanks to some clues on here. Thanks all!

Stormycloud · 16/11/2023 22:21

I am absolutely stuck on the green door and the Kurara person. I’ve been reading all the hints but none of them are working for me

Sommerled · 16/11/2023 22:22

Nope still not got the romance one!

PandaG · 16/11/2023 22:25

Thanks for clues! First time ever I've got them all, with a fair bit of googling to help!

EineReiseDurchDieZeit · 16/11/2023 22:25

@Stormycloud

What's on her T-shirt?

VanityDiesHard · 16/11/2023 22:26

Sommerled · 16/11/2023 22:22

Think of another word for romance. Or rather, romance is one form that this emotion takes.

EineReiseDurchDieZeit · 16/11/2023 22:27

@Sommerled

What's the difference between the romance shelf and those beside it?

MrsCarson · 16/11/2023 22:27

Finally got them all. It's that bin one I had to keep going back to. At least I got it done in one go this year.

MrsCarson · 16/11/2023 22:29

Stormycloud · 16/11/2023 22:21

It's a similar name not Kurara
I'd not ice, it's....
