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

Colourful love library is nearly there! Take the library out.

InMySpareTime · 16/11/2023 14:16

@PricklyBob the children are defined by the trains, or rather the system the trains run on

@PricklyBob what's the sign on the door made from?

Interested in this thread?

I facepalmed as soon as I wrote out "children reading about trains". Got that now, plus the wedding one, which I've actually not long finished reading.

CABOODLEHELP · 16/11/2023 14:20

Is "library" "love" or "books" the subject? Thanks!!

PricklyBob · 16/11/2023 14:21

@InMySpareTime Thank you - I was too fixated on the fact the sign was on the door and really wanted it to be Doors Open and couldn't get that out of my head

CABOODLEHELP · 16/11/2023 14:22

Are the words synonyms for both "colourful" and "love" and are they in the same order? Thank you so much

InMySpareTime · 16/11/2023 14:22

@CABOODLEHELP love is the subject. It's the only thing not in B&W

6 left here; some tricky ones and ones others probably find easy!

CABOODLEHELP · 16/11/2023 14:28

I've got 4 more - promise this is the last one I'll ask for hints for, we're on our own after this... Belle/Lion???

PricklyBob · 16/11/2023 14:30

Only 5 to go now. Nobody else has mentioned Natural History which makes me think it must be easy.

SummerLightning · 16/11/2023 14:31

Yass I got the bin. Only that feckin lion to go

CABOODLEHELP · 16/11/2023 14:31

AAHH let u know when you find it! Been trying for ages now :)

Bookworm68 · 16/11/2023 14:32

I’ve got 5 left to get.

Annie’s staff picks
Man with pet dragon on a lead
Natural history
mythology
bin

SummerLightning · 16/11/2023 14:32

@PricklyBob yes it's easy, it's a kids book.

SummerLightning · 16/11/2023 14:35

@Bookworm68
Annie's picks: synonym of the books. Annie is a clue but only if you really know the book
Pet dragon: should be easy. Whats he doing with the dragon?

PricklyBob · 16/11/2023 14:35

@SummerLightning for some reason, I thought of that and then dismissed without trying. Got it now though.

@Bookworm68 Annie is the character and the books are all about a negative emotion. Dragon is a very popular kids book and film series.

CABOODLEHELP · 16/11/2023 14:36

@PricklyBob

@SummerLightning
you two seem great at this! Do either of you have Belle/Lion hints?

SummerLightning · 16/11/2023 14:38

@Bookworm68 the bin - I got it from a synonym to bin. It's not a new book .. or even a "book" officially?

PricklyBob · 16/11/2023 14:39

I'm stuck on the lion too.

Also:
Bin
Mythology
Kurara

I really should be working. Need to go to a meeting at 3pm and determined to get this finished 😂

SummerLightning · 16/11/2023 14:39

@CABOODLEHELP no I still need that lion! Last one!

hello250 · 16/11/2023 14:41

For Kurara it might help knowing that the wirting on the bag is Japanese (think Japanese novel in translation, something to do with the sun!)

Elastica23 · 16/11/2023 14:42

I've just got 5 to go:

Lion
Friends with Suitcase
Bestsellers table
Girl with sun t-shirt
Bin

Elastica23 · 16/11/2023 14:43

Right have got the sun t-shirt one

KenAdams · 16/11/2023 14:46

6 to go for me:

Belle
Friends
Annie
Bin
Door sign
Wedding

None of the clues so far have helped!
