Hidden Books game 2023

[InMySpareTime]

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

Thank you.

I have 19 but I’m stuck on mythology. Thought I had it by choosing a gender & a country but it says it’s wrong.

@gillys

It's not a country anymore

Despite all the clues, still stuck on the love bookcase and Annie's one

Try googling stuff from the clues plus "book" "bestseller" or "novel" and see what comes up.

Still stuck with Annie

Annie's surname is Wilkes if that helps.

@ChaoticEwok it's one word. Annie is a bit of a red herring if you haven't read the book - just a character in the book. So ignore that and just look at what other word could fit the group in the titles.

Along with the clues above.

It's not a new book. There's also a film. Both are more than 30 years old.

(I apologise to anyone that fact upsets. I had to recheck the length of time twice as I I'm having difficulty accepting it!!)

More geographically precise than a country.
The most famous of one of these was called Helen.

The first word is a collective gender and the second is a place, not a country, of legend

think a wellknown film about 3 children and a train by their house

Thanks 20 done.

Any clues on the Kurara and Bin books?
i didn’t know most of the rest, but digging about on Google etc has been fun!

It was a city

I’ve managed 18/20 but really stuck on the door with the melting ice sign and the wedding picture. Any clues gratefully appreciated!

There are lots of clues upthread, but it's the sign not the door and you're too cold with ice.

Got it! Thank you. Just the wedding photo now. 🤪

What does a wedding result in? What orientation is the picture?

Just the love one to go but thats really giving me a headache!

the bin is a poem not a book. Think what goes in the bin

The love one isn't too bad. You've got some subjects in monochrome, but...

The bin one is three words. What is another word for rubbish and what is the bin on? Think of a synonym for desolate.

Last two books make one word on the theme of each title, first word will come to you then.
