It's time 🎵🎶 well nearly, 2 hours and change until it drops. It should be 10.30.
Its my favourite time of year but as usual I will probably be useless and depend heavily on mumsnetters for help to decipher.

I searched and couldn't find another thread if there's one already up and running ill delete this.

Edited for proper link

I got the boardgames and the laptop.
I wonder if we could get this moved to What We're Reading as I looked there for it.

I’ve never played this before….i haven’t got any so far! This is really hard! The lady in the chair - what could that be; she’s just a lady in a chair??

the books with Baldwin, Joyce etc, first name is all James, but I can’t think of a book. Five James’?

oh, Gruffalo slippers….i guess I’ve got one then?

I've got arm, top left books (read that!), side table books, slippers, blanket. I thought I had the cat, was so sure, but tried a few permutations and it's not right.

I think you've kind of got the names one, it was a book last year I think, I read it this year. It's based on Huckleberry Finn.

drspouse · 13/11/2025 10:52

I got the dog, think of his name.

honkytonky · 13/11/2025 10:52

I've got
Top left books
Board games
Bird decoration
Slippers
2 books on the side table
The arm

I'm going to try and do a few more and then will definitely be looking for clues

Nousernameforme · 13/11/2025 10:52

That dog one was sneaky

Oh, I've got the full picture of the woman.

largeredformeplease · 13/11/2025 10:54

Are they books from all time? Or books from last year?

Nousernameforme · 13/11/2025 10:55

Books from all time

OP posts:
largeredformeplease · 13/11/2025 10:56

@Nousernameformeand @Negroanythanks, I’ve got the name one now.

I don’t think im going to be very good at this!

I love reading but don’t have the time to keep up with new releases these days

largeredformeplease · 13/11/2025 10:57

Ah, books from all time, ok, I might stand a chance then.

still struggling though 😂 I’m obviously just thick

drspouse · 13/11/2025 10:58

My DCs are 11 and 13 and two of the books are ones we read to them as babies and that were old even then. So you don't have to worry about them being new releases. Some are cult/older popular books, some are children's books, some are classic fiction and usually a few are new-ish books.
