Caboodle Find the Book Titles Game

[TimeIhadaNameChange]

Here

It seems harder than previous years. Have 3 so far...

[Cacofonix]

Ok I have the Amsterdam one. Please can someone put me out of my misery with the computer/surfer girl one with a cheeky PM?

[susurration]

Cacofonix will PM

[susurration]

Ok I'm down to the lifebuoy one!

[TimeIhadaNameChange]

susurration - synonym of the word written on the lifebuoy followed by 'its' abbreviation (ie abbreviation of the lifebuoy).

[TimeIhadaNameChange]

soupforbrains I've gone for it. I don't think the information on the signs is important per se, they're just showing "...".

Slightly thrown by the fact you have to input the title EXACTLY how it is, but I checked the cover and went for how it's printed.

[susurration]

Finally, finally bloody got it! thank you for all your help everyone, for the first time ever I have finished one of these quizzes!

[soupforbrains]

Mmmm I'm not sure about it. I've got a couple of possibles but I don't think I match you.

[TinyTear]

susurration i love these annual threads as people are really helpful without telling the answers directly!

[soupforbrains]

Actually I think I've got it! it's sort of a spin off? done.

[Kveta]

I am SO STUCK on the life belt one! Can anyone give me some clues which even someone who is very hard of thinking can get?!

[Aimtomisbehave]

Kveta it really is a stretch to be fair. you need another word for appropriate (use the thesaurus in word) and an abbreviated and slighted different spelling of lifebouy. Put them together (and google)

[Kveta]

oh FFS! That one is just cruel! :D

[susurration]

Kveta It's a real stretch that one isn't it?!

TinyTear yes, I've not seen the MN threads about this before and it also never occurred to me to look at bestseller or award shortlists before either.

Feeling a bit pleased with myself today Husband will be thrilled when he finds out what I spent all afternoon doing...

[susurration]

Has anyone else figured out the email question?

I think it's a spin off from my favourite children's novels.

[soupforbrains]

D’usurpation i think you’ve come to the same answer as I did.

[soupforbrains]

Oh wowzers what an autocorrect. That was meant for you susurration!!

[susurration]

Oooh, that's definitely going to be my next username!

Yes, recently made into a film, spin off from seven books?

[Kveta]

so I STILL can't get these 4:
the power sign
the road north sign
the bones
the kings/queens of essex sign

any good clues (not already on this thread, as I've tried those?!!) people can add? Thanks!

[TooExtraImmatureCheddar]

Oooh, thank you for that last hint! Doh!

[soupforbrains]

kveta

A) you have literally said it
B) think of the road formation as a compass, one way is ‘no exit’ so the other is?
C) bones is correct.** But it’s music notes right? Think sound of music and take a look at the Booker long list
D) it is NOT Essex.** Essex only has the swords. The crown Makes it another county.

[soupforbrains]

And susurration yes we are in agreement. But Time came up with another answer which could also be right I think so we’ll just have to wait and see.

[AnneEyhtMeyer]

Thank you for the help with the music one. I've just finished and am trying to guess the email one. Not having any luck so far.

[Kveta]

thank you so much! Still not a scooby on the north one, but 19 out of 20 isn't bad!

[TimeIhadaNameChange]

I'm convinced you guys are right on the email qu. If it had been lion, tiger and croc I think I'd have it, but with Nessie and co you have to be correct.

[BlueEyeshadow]

Kveta, the north one is on the Booker shortlist...
