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 have three that I am stuck on. I keep thinking the Calendar clue is Saturday Night and Sunday morning by Alan Sillitoe but it is not
Also stuck on the Clock Tree. Minnietime? Small time Minnie?
The four seasonal books about holidays?
sorry to be so feeble. Any help gratefully received.

It's not the the clocks that are Minnie's it is what they are on.

EineReiseDurchDieZeit · 14/11/2025 08:47

Don't worry about what she is wearing in terms of item, she could be in a wedding dress or karate suit instead.

Ahh finished! Actually have 2 copies of the painting book beside my bed!

EineReiseDurchDieZeit · 14/11/2025 08:52

Nothing to do with her teeth it's the whole of her.

EineReiseDurchDieZeit · 14/11/2025 08:54

Oh shit I got it I think! Thank you

Parkmalarky · 14/11/2025 08:55

Thank you so much. I have the clock tree one now. Good clue

EineReiseDurchDieZeit · 14/11/2025 08:56

That was SOLID. That’s the hardest one I’ve done

Erickawaller · 14/11/2025 08:58

how can I not get the dragon one ??

EineReiseDurchDieZeit · 14/11/2025 08:59

Thanks to everyone who put up clues!

EineReiseDurchDieZeit · 14/11/2025 09:00

@Erickawallera very famous and popular book what is the dragon and what is she?

Parkmalarky · 14/11/2025 09:00

The woman one is a mystery novel by a Victorian male author WC. It was a sensation when published

Parkmalarky · 14/11/2025 09:04

Thank you. I have finally cracked the calendar clue. Just one left about the seasonal holidays

EineReiseDurchDieZeit · 14/11/2025 09:06

@ParkmalarkyThe book doesn’t have the word seasons in it, but what they add together to become and then the consequences of the activity described

Erickawaller · 14/11/2025 09:06

Of course !!

Parkmalarky · 14/11/2025 09:10

Phew! Finally completed all of them. It is so much more fun to do it on MN. Thank you for all the clues.

Oh got the lady in the chair now, thank you.

I started with the blanket on the arm of the chair.
I thought it was Oranges are not the only Fruit and I personally think that is a better answer!!

Same - re Oranges are Not the Only Fruit ! 😁

That was the first book I tried for that as well

Bellasayscheeseplease · 14/11/2025 11:25

Just the dragon to go. I think I know it's not the obvious book title, but I can't find it and it's driving me mad. Any help would be gratefully received!

ABeerInTheSunshineMakesMeHappy · 14/11/2025 11:26

Yay! I’ve finished it - mainly due to everyone’s clues and help on here (thank you!), plus a lot of help from google. So many books I have not come across before.

SewDarnStitch · 14/11/2025 11:27

Final two for me to go are the Minnie Tree and the seas books. Can’t for the life of me figure out the tree one despite people’s clues… thanks so much for everyone’s help though!

I would say it is the very obvious book title.
