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

belle lion
romance
wedding
sign
best sellers
lady c

previous hints haven't helped.

@EineReiseDurchDieZeit the morris dancer. Which part of the UK do morris dancers come from + if a paramedic was treating you, you would be their ????. I read it earlier this year and didn't like it but Remus hated it (probably not narrowing it down there)! Lots of people think it's a rare example of a film being better than the book.

The bin - it's a famous poem rather than a book. The second word is a synonym for rubbish. Third word, on ..... not sea.

I'll be back when I've stopped the dinner burning!

It's not a mouse-look at the tail.

InMySpareTime · 16/11/2023 18:24

It's not a mouse, the ears are long and the tail is short

@EineReiseDurchDieZeit for romance:
fantasy in black & white, romance in ?????, sci-fi in black & white. Then think of a synonym for romance or amore.

EineReiseDurchDieZeit · 16/11/2023 18:27

Sorted but I had to Google

Just romantic and bestseller left I have tried everything for bestseller including looking at bestseller lists

EineReiseDurchDieZeit · 16/11/2023 18:28

RIGHT

Only bestseller left

Wigglywoman · 16/11/2023 18:30

RIGHT

You've definitely heard of this woman's prize listed book. The first book gives you the first word of the title. What is Krampus? He's not a devil or a monster but a ?? It's a modern retelling of a much older book.

Think of a famous Lady C.... in literature. It was very scandalous at the time.

@Wigglywoman the man is telling you who he is. Look at the ❤️

EineReiseDurchDieZeit · 16/11/2023 18:37

DONE IT

EineReiseDurchDieZeit · 16/11/2023 18:37

Thanks people! Xx

narrucO1 · 16/11/2023 18:41

Published in 1928 and banned for a while.

NoSquirrels · 16/11/2023 18:52

I’ve got 10/20 and they’re basically opposite as I’ve got most of OP’s original list!

will check the thread for other clues now…

diddl · 16/11/2023 19:01

Finally got the Bestseller one!

Synonyms are not my forte!

Girlontherailreplacementbusservice · 16/11/2023 19:23

Still can't get mythology - it's obviously a book I've not heard of. I know the sex of the people and the place they come from but I can't find a book that combines the two. Can anyone give me another hint, suggest what to Google or DM me?. It's driving me mad.

ElleLeopine · 16/11/2023 19:24

I have 7 to get. I got about 3 straight off, the rest with clues from this thread.

Currently perplexed by Annie, can anyone be more blatant than clues already given?

EineReiseDurchDieZeit · 16/11/2023 19:26

Annie is a downer isn't she? A right _
