Hidden books game 2024

@JoJothegerbil hmmm okay. Clues which haven't already been given...

The camera is from the same author as Animal farm
The cocktails...think home of the Hamptons!
The comedy - I can't think of a way to describe it that doesn't give the whole name of the book away. It's a funny story though! Released this year

VicMac100 · 14/11/2024 15:02

I charged through 11, but I'm totally stuck on the other 9.

ApolloandDaphne · 14/11/2024 15:03

I just need the camera and the comedy books. Any clues for them?

Interested in this thread?

Thanks. I got the camera and the cocktail from your hints. Just the poster and comedy books to go!

ApolloandDaphne · 14/11/2024 15:10

Just the comedy now

@JoJothegerbil @ApolloandDaphne @RegimentalSturgeon What you call a short narrative intended to make others laugh...

I'm completely stuck on the angel. I've tried the book by Bella Mackie and another by katy Brent but nothing works.

Clue please!

It's a YA novel I think

Thanks, I was making that way more complicated than it needed to be! All done!

Honestly this quiz. Either madly obscure or so obvious you can't see it.

JoJothegerbil · 14/11/2024 15:29

Nearly there. Just the woman poster to go. Some of these I’ve never heard of.

Lizzieboots · 14/11/2024 15:34

I've peeked at all your clues and been cheating so i've only one left and i've got no clue at all lol! The man with thread in his pocket and the black smiley face hat on - what is this?? please give me a clue or two

siansattic · 14/11/2024 15:34

Finished with help from some of the clues on here! Thanks

Beansandneedles · 14/11/2024 15:35

@JassyRadlett @JoJothegerbil this might be a total red herring as I can't quite remember the name of the book anymore!! But I think a good clue is.... Katniss Everdeen, Hermione Granger, Offred and Elizabeth Bennet are often described this way.

ApolloandDaphne · 14/11/2024 15:36

I still can't get the comedy one even with the clues.

@ApolloandDaphne be a funny story for you to tell once you've got it...though you'll probably kick yourself!

I’ve read the whole thread and can’t come up with the answer for the comedy one, it’s my only one left!

ApolloandDaphne · 14/11/2024 15:38

Actually I think I know it now but I need to get home and enter it on my iPad where I've been playing. I'm out just now.

Beansandneedles · 14/11/2024 15:42

@Lizzieboots cold war code names!

Idk if it helps but I don't think hes meant to be holding a mirror. Could be magnifying/spy glass...

What's he dressed as? Why would he need thread? What's he using the mirror for?

Clue please!

If you described a female child as an angel, what are you saying about her? And what kind of activity would it be useful to make look like an accident?
