Okay, I've been cheating diligently, I've read every clue, I've googled all over the place and cannot get melting cakes, angel, or jokes.

Did you get poster one Rosie J ? The melting ingredient is a set to cake one

SlayB · 14/11/2024 16:17

Poster & Jokes anyone ?

I got the poster eventually three word title. Not the jokes, not the angel.

Ha! and now have the jokes.

Angel? Please? A really obvious clue, 2019 YA has got me nowhere.

@DeanElderberry

Recent adaptation on BBC (I think)

DeanElderberry · 14/11/2024 16:23

no TV, don't live in BBC land

EineReiseDurchDieZeit · 14/11/2024 16:25

Ok, so what praise would you give a female dog....

Beansandneedles · 14/11/2024 16:25

@DeanElderberry title which is about people who are the opposite of bad boys...sounds like a how-to guide. It’s a crime thriller with dark twists.

DeanElderberry · 14/11/2024 16:28

Thank you thank you thank you.

I suppose I'll have to feed the cats now.

SlayB · 14/11/2024 16:30

Thank you to all who helped see you next year

All but :-
Panda
Comedy
Poster
Music

Music is just the genre they are all from

DeanElderberry · 14/11/2024 16:44

What is the panda doing?

The book was published 21 years ago and the title comes from a joke, but the book is neither comic nor fiction.

Panda is a grammar book. E, S & L are the initials

The Angel is human and young, title is like a self help book.
The book is on the Waterstones best seller list and the cover has red string all across it.

So annoyed it's not The Last Devil to Die!

alphacole1811 · 14/11/2024 16:49

Poster - can't get it
Comedy - funny? ha ha?

DeanElderberry · 14/11/2024 16:51

What is the woman in the poster? Rosie the Riveter obviously, but how would you describe Rosie? What is her physical characteristic?

chocolatecheesecake · 14/11/2024 16:53

Thanks everyone, much appreciated. And now feeling a bit silly that I couldn't crack them!

chocolatecheesecake · 14/11/2024 16:54

Comedy one - look at the sign on the table and think of alternative words

It's literally a say what you see baking ingredient. One word.

Thank you so much! I still found it ridiculously hard but tbf had never heard of the book before so ...

At least I'm all done now!

Dyra · 14/11/2024 17:15

Would never have done it without you all! Thank you.

Best of luck to us all!

DeanElderberry · 14/11/2024 16:09

I've seen people saying that and I've guessed butter and I've guessed sugar and I've guessed syrup and none of them were correct. Mostly cakes don't melt in my obviously limited experience.

One of the ones you've listed is correct!

DeanElderberry · 14/11/2024 17:27

I know, right!

diddl · 14/11/2024 17:30

The poster one-never heard of the writer!

Posted too soon!

The poster is the book cover?

nalamin · 14/11/2024 17:35

even with all the clues, im stuck with the cowgirls. I have tried all the variations and nothing works. when I write "country girls" it tells me I'm close, but I can't seem to get there. any clue? please don't say "write what you see" because I may have used every known variation of cowgirl in the past 20 minutes 😅

EineReiseDurchDieZeit · 14/11/2024 17:51

@nalamin

You're missing the first word
