Hi, I am stuck on the Workshop Writing Women poster too and it looks like you got it. Could you please give me a hint ? It's driving me mad. Thanks.

Have you had a look through Waterstones best sellers on their website. I think that's how I got it - maybe put some relevant words into the Search bar.

Hi I’m struggling with the panda, the angel, the bee man, the Sherlock Holmes title, the vampire, and the ghost! Half of these no one seems to be struggling with 🤦🏻‍♀️ I’ve managed the rest

Sherlock Holmes google the books and look at the atmosphere of the clue

The vampire is so obvious you’ll kick yourself, well I did when I twigged.

Interested in this thread?

Also what is the ghost doing?

Heylittlesongbird · 16/11/2024 17:08

And what’s the panda doing?

Panda - is a grammar book which is about 15 years old if not more. Its not the panda but what it is eating that is the clue.

What sort of child is the angel? Add that to what she might be planning on doing - its a YA novel.

The bee man looks like which singer?

The Sherlock Holmes novel is basically where the figure is sitting - what does the room look like? You'll find there is a Sherlock novel with that title.

The vampire's top says the name of a place - which famous vampire is associated with it?

The ghost -what is it doing?

Hello . I only have the comedy books we love to get. Grateful for any clues please as really stuck .. thank you.

@Ekal

For the cocktail I kept trying the state name as it makes more sense - very annoying

Try somewhere that's a part of NY and a part (only part) of the name of a famous cocktail - As I said, I got it by accident

EineReiseDurchDieZeit · 16/11/2024 18:32

@Ekal

Oh I finished yesterday I was just agreeing with you that it's a rubbish clue!

bananafly · 16/11/2024 19:27

Desperately stuck on ones that are going to start killing off my brain cells!

  • the barbershop
  • the comedy table
  • The clock

think I can swap most other clues! THANK YOU!

InMySpareTime · 16/11/2024 20:06

@bananafly have you looked through the clues upthread yet?

ClaraSais · 16/11/2024 20:15

@bananafly re the barbershop - how many are there and what colour combination are they wearing?

ClaraSais · 16/11/2024 20:17

@gamesnight def harder challenge this year!

Allnewtometoo · 14/11/2024 12:26

Sting and the police. I'm not getting it !

Got the ghost.

I thought quartet would be.....quartet...apparently not!

What animals are with sting?

OneWildBiscuit · 16/11/2024 21:05

liquoriceallsorts · 14/11/2024 12:19

Who is with Sting?

Edited

STILL not getting the Sting one!

InMySpareTime · 16/11/2024 21:08

I got it without knowing it was Sting!
I saw the police folder he's holding and figured he was on a police sting operation.
Book Initials are TBS

I’m stuck on the box!! Have tried as many combinations as I can think of to do with lights and not getting it! Any clues?

Can you see the lights or can you not?

Still not getting it, it’s not a book I know…

TalesOfTheGoldMonkey · 16/11/2024 21:40

Yay! Finished. Less than an hour this year, which is a bit of a record, and I’m quite proud of myself.

MadisonAvenue · 16/11/2024 21:31

Ok got it now but it’s not a children’s book!! The main characters are teenagers but it is adult fiction. Not a great clue overall IMO! Thank you for your help 🙏🏻

Milkado · 16/11/2024 23:22

Hi I'm stuck on 4. I've read through all the comments on here and can't work out
The clock- think it's something with golden on it
The music books
Thr comedy books
The quartet- sounds like it's neopolitan from all the clues here but it's not picking that up
Thanks

Milkado · 16/11/2024 23:26

Got the music books one since

Milkado · 16/11/2024 23:34

Got the clock one too. Just stuck on the musicians and the comedy table
